    2025 SHOT Show Optics

    X-ring liked it. Very cool. As an aside, I wonder what the real differences are between the 3-20x50 ultrashort and the 3-18x42 meta other than tube diameter and length (~13 vs 15.5”)? Weight wise they seem fairly close to one another. Any pics of the FFP meta 3-18? How does it perform compared...

    Nightforce | Shot Show 2025

    An NX6 line would sell well. For my purposes, I would love to see a compact (< 9-10 in) NX6 1-6x, 30-34 mm main tube, large eyebox, red dot in the second focal plane like the S&B. It would be the ultimate semi auto rifle scope (11.5-16” AR variants).

    Nightforce | Shot Show 2025

    How Nightforce can improve the NX8 1-8 and ATACR 1-8: - European style diopter adjustment, and design it so it doesn’t interfere with a scope cap - Better FOV - Larger eye box, exit pupil 1-8x - Develop a dual focal plane option on the ATACR 1-8x with a true red dot at 1x (think S&B short...

    Rifle Scopes New Schmidt & Bender PM2 6-36x56

    I do not have any experience behind the ZCO. I have looked behind a Tangent Theta 5-25 but not the newer 7-35x. Compared to the S&B 5-25, Leupold Mark 5 (5-25 or 7-35), Kahles (6-24, 5-25), any Nightforce ATACR, any Vortex I have looked through, the S&B 6-36 blows them all out of the water. I...

    Rifle Scopes New Schmidt & Bender PM2 6-36x56

    I finally got to shoot my 6-36 S&B on my .308 bolt gun. Very crystal clear glass. Huge eyebox. I can actually get behind the scope on 30-36x without any trouble. The P5FL reticle is great for the type of shooting I do. I love the center dot. All in all, I am very happy with my purchase. I wish...

    Trijicon Credo 1-10

    Back to the top. I would like a review if feasible.

    Geissele Mid Range Gas Gun for the low price of $6,500

    They are fulfilling the military orders first. They replied on ARFCOM about it this past month: ARFCOM link Youtube video They just shipped the first rifles out. Pretty cool.

    Rifle Scopes Who has had to deal with Kahles for scope repairs?

    My illumination went dead on a Kahles 3-18x50. I shipped it just before Christmas, and I have the scope back in roughly 2 months. It goes through Swarovski in Rhode Island.

    Most Durable LPVOs

    I think the problem with questions like this is that we have no independent, reliable data, to compare the pertinent LPVOs. We would need a sample size of 7-10 scopes from each company tested on the same rifle, each scope going through the same battery of durability tests (drops, mud, etc). It...

    Steiner T6xi

    Hey guys, I have a 20" 5.56 flat top I bought from a friend. I want to put an optic on it, and I was thinking about a Steiner 2.5-15 or 3-18. I like my good olde P4x, and I prefer the Euro style diopter adjustment over the Nightforce. The rifle would just be used for range shooting 300 yards...

    Rifle Scopes New S&B TR2ID reticle

    Damn. I just bought the 6-36 on sale with a P5 reticle. This tree reticle makes more sense, but I agree with others that S&B just needed their GRID reticle trimmed a bit, that’s all. For my purposes though, I don’t have a range where I would benefit from a tree reticle.

    Rifle Scopes ZCO Hunter scope at the IWA event

    The 2-10 ZCO would make better sense to me if it were a 2-12 with a 6x erector, maybe slightly larger objective given the weight. Again, maybe this was meant for a military contract, as many pointed out.

    Rifle Scopes ZCO Hunter scope at the IWA event

    So it's a 2-10x, not 1-10x? Imagine a 1-10x with adjustable parallax. Would be the ultimate AR-10 scope. Edited to add: I am not knocking ZCO, but if they were going with a 2-10x form, why not just do a 6x erector tube and make it a 2-12x scope?

    Rifle Scopes Tracking test for Schmidt and Bender 6-36

    Thank you for your review and testing. This definitely makes me happy about my purchase, although I lack a long range where I can utilize the scope beyond 300-600 yards.

    Rifle Scopes New Schmidt & Bender PM2 6-36x56

    I got mine yesterday. It will be a month before I can mount and shoot it due to work. On 6x, the reticle is still very usable. This scope can truly be used 6-36, just by my judgment from casually looking out the window with it. I bought the P5 reticle to keep it simple since all of the ranges I...

    Rifle Scopes New Schmidt & Bender PM2 6-36x56

    I ordered the 6-36 with DTII+ MTC turrets. Hopefully they work, but I doubt it will be in the mud much. It’ll be a month before I get to the range. I will post a review then.

    Rifle Scopes New Schmidt & Bender PM2 6-36x56

    thanks for the replies. I think the P5 reticle will be fine for me now because the longest range I have access too is < 200-300 yards. Hopefully some day I will have a reason to buy a 6.5 Creedmoor rifle and learn how to shoot beyond 600 yards. I really love my short dot dual. Hence, the...

    So everyone agrees this scope is gtg?

    Rifle Scopes New Schmidt & Bender PM2 6-36x56

    I like my SKMR3 but think the Tremor reticles are way too busy. This will be on a .308 20” barreled Tikka in a KRG chassis. With a 20 MOA mount, it should suit my needs well. Why so much mag? My eyes suck plain and simple and I prefer Euro glass with an easy to adjust diopter.

    Rifle Scopes New Schmidt & Bender PM2 6-36x56

    Any updates? I think I am going to buy a P5 reticle model before the prices go up. I can only shoot out to 600 yards anyway at my range. It is for a .308 bolt gun.
