This is my favorite sub-$2.5k scope. Can't believe it's not gone for this price. Way too cheap.

I have a CTR in 6.5CM, which I've had for maybe 5-6 years now and absolutely love it. I get 9-10 shots before barrel heats up. I'm 1000+ rounds into the barrel and it's still crazy accurate. I am looking at a 223 T3 lite as a starter gun for my son and something I can shoot at prairie dogs...

I'll have way more from my investment than he will in the Rolex.

5-6 firings with no annealing is your problem IMHO. I anneal after every 3rd firing and get very consistent results afterwards and again after the 1st firing. After the 2nd firing, I get slightly less consistent results and that's when I decided to start annealing - I didn't even check to see...

Watch is a status symbol? I wear a fitbit versa 2 that I paid $40 for on facebook marketplace. I'd sell it and invest the money. Market is down huge early today - you could buy a car with the $ down the road.

Never thought of it, but you're pretty much right. I can't recall the last time I saw a Tikka in a factory stock. You also rarely see them without the factory barrel unless it just got shot out. They shoot so darn good. I stuck mine in a Manners and put on a Sterk bolt handle and I have zero...

Do you want to spend money or do you want value? If you want value and performance, get a Tikka and buy a stock that you like. The factory Tikka barrels are super accurate and triggers are fantastic and reliability is great. What more could you want...I just don't see the point in custom...

Yeah...we're all feeling that pain. I will say the XRS 2 linked at midway is a stupid good deal too. Honestly it's probably a better value than a used Razor Gen 2 or a new MK5HD. You can't go wrong either way. But the XRS 2 is in stock now, so that's something to consider. Lots of great...

Man that's a heck of a deal at $1400 IMHO.

Find a reticle you like. I really hated all of the Leupy reticles. If you don't like the reticle, you'll just end up selling the scope and buying one you do like. The discount doesn't mean anything if the view from the scope sucks. That being said, I just checked on the Leupy site and...

Razor Gen 2 is pretty fantastic. Delta Stryker is also great. I'd consider an ATACR 5-25 as well. I love the Mil-C reticle and I think it probably has less CA than either of the LOW scopes. Or at least the one I looked through did. I agree SHV doesn't make sense in this list. I'm...

Kind of shocking. I have shot with the Cronus and Razor in the same day and it wasn't particularly close, with the easy nod going to the Razor. IMHO, the Stryker, XRS II, and Razor are all nearly identical from a resolution standpoint. They all have slightly different quirks optically, but in...

XRS II is similar to the Delta Stryker. Cronus/LRHS is a step behind those.

I've tried just about everything in that price range and still prefer the Delta Stryker to all of them.

I was just remarking on the state of the market. Best of luck to the OP

Right, I used to ignore the folks selling it for $28-$30 a box. Now I reload so I don't care about this nonsense.

Not saying you should run out and buy a new one - your SHV is a good scope. I am saying if you are going to buy a new scope, I wouldn't pay Japanese money and buy a Chinese scope. If you are looking at the Midas Tac, I'll mention that an SWFA HD 5-20 is Japanese made, crazy reliable, costs the...

You're going the wrong direction with that change. JMHO For dialing in long range applications, I don't trust anything made in China. You have a freaking Nightforce...why would you go to an Athlon? Half a pound....hit the gym

I love the LRD-1T reticle - you just have to get used to it. The line sizing is perfect and the target acquisition area is amazing, but I'll agree with those who say the increments inside 1 mil of wind hold are not ideal and do require you to memorize some unintuitive values. But the glass...

One of the hidden gems in the reasonably-priced segment. Terrific scope IMHO
