    Rifle Scopes Torn Between What Scope to Choose

    ATACR 4-16 will be by far the best. The SHV f1 will probably be the best value. If you're really concerned about having some sort of close up capability then add an offset reddot to it.

    Rifle Scopes Talk me out of a third Razor 2

    You can pick up a SB PM2 5-25 right now for 2200-2300 I believe.

    Rifle Scopes Leup Mk4 on a Barrett 50 M99

    The mark 4s are nice scopes. Very durable. 1500 yards is probably the very limits of x14 though. The rule of thumb I've always heard is about x1 mag per 100 yards. Unless it's paper targets. Then more mag the better :)

    .308 AR Accuracy Build Advise

    I'd be wary of building an ar-10. They don't have the same parts interchangeability as ar-15s.

    Rifle Scopes S&B P4l Fine Reticle - Is it any good?

    That's really good. generally I see them hover around 2500 for a good deal. All time lowest I've seen is 2070 on opticsplanet. That's after a 15% off coupon though. Theoretically you could stack that even further to 2007 if you have a personal affiliate link.

    Rifle Scopes Vertically split rings

    This subject really has my interest now. I've done pretty thorough forum searching and googling and have found some good info on this. But I still haven't been able find any thorough discussion about specific rings or mechanisms of failure that weren't conjecture. Could you please direct me to...

    Rifle Scopes Vertically split rings

    I see. That makes sense since half of the rings were clamped at higher torque ratings onto the rails. But are they the only problem design? There are so many price ranges and variations of vertical rings. $2.40 Tasco, $60 Aero precision, $180 ADM, $250 larue. All these vertical rings have...

    Rifle Scopes Vertically split rings

    If properly designed and manufactured, shouldn't vertically split rings work the same as standard rings? You're just rotating the mounting 90 degrees. I doubt 25 in/lb would warp any decent quality scope tube. Unless the discussion is regarding a specific type of vertically split rings? Because...

    Rifle Scopes How Much Scope Do You Really Need?

    I could probably do almost everything I'm currently doing on a mildot fixed 10 power with no illumination as long as the turrets tracked properly and have enough travel. That said, I have a $3000 scope with a horus reticle on my rifle.

    Rifle Scopes Optical comparison btw SB PMII 5-25x56 and 5-20 ultra short

    I've only looked through the 5-20 US and never shot with it, but the glass looks pretty much the same as my 5-25. The biggest differences are really elsewhere for the 2 scopes. 5-25 has a better eyebox 5-25 has more tactile turrets 5-20 has lower profile turrets 5-20 has capped windage 5-20...

    Rifle Scopes Resale value Mil Vs. MOA

    Mil generally moves faster and at higher prices than MOA.

    Rifle Scopes S&B P4l Fine Reticle - Is it any good?

    It's a great usable clutter free reticle. Some people might prefer specific features it doesn't have, like floating center dots, more detailed mil marks etc. If you want to do wind+distance holdoffs together it'll be more difficult than with a complex reticle. The P4FL is the one you see most...

    Rifle Scopes Another Vortex down

    Off the top of my head, Nightforce has scopes that can be had in the 750-1200 range and they're rock solid. SWFA has scopes from 280-1500 and they're solid across the board.

    Rifle Scopes Another Vortex down

    If a customer buys a company's low-mid end scope and has nothing but problems with it, they'd be hardly inspired to jump to that same company's high end line.

    Rifle Scopes What’s the deal with S&B

    Tibosaurus the youtube guy had a 5-25 bust on him a while ago in a sub zero environment. That's the only one I know of that's pretty publicly confirmed beyond forum banter/rumors. They did fix it for him though, if that counts for anything to you. Personally I don't think slapping on a...

    Rifle Scopes Looking for wisdom on the Trijicon TARS

    Wow that's quite the bargain. I wonder why he's letting it go so low. Assuming it's perfectly functional, you can't lose at that price.

    Rifle Scopes 1x6 Scope Advice

    I don't think any 1-6 in your price range is going to provide you with a meaningful upgrade over the 1-4 accupoint.

    Rifle Scopes Looking for wisdom on the Trijicon TARS

    Good internal adjustment range Extremely heavy Impressive durability specs poor reticle selection Biggest problem is the price point they set it at. Why would someone pick the 3-15 TARS over a similarly priced 3-20 PMII? The competition is just too stiff at 2500-3000. There's too many...
