    Rifle Scopes Japan Optics LTD any good? Their scopes are being blown out

    Has anyone figured out which factory is supplying the new Crimson Trace riflescopes (Hardline, Brushline)?

    Rifle Scopes Armament Technology Inc SAI 6

    Is the Japanese OEM LOW or JOL?

    Too Many AR Optic Options Out There...HELP.

    For a farm truck rifle, I think LPVO is the obvious choice, particularly for coyotes. These LPVOs are assembled in the USA: * Leupold Mark 8 1.1-8x24 * Leupold Mark 6 1-6x20 * Leupold VX-6HD 1-6x24 * Leupold VX-5HD 1-5x24 CDS-ZL2 * Leupold VX-4.5HD Service Rifle 1-4.5x24 * NightForce ATACR...

    Scopes NOT MADE IN CHINA?

    Burris Veracity 3-15x50 SFP with single-turn MAD knobs. OEM in Philippines by Scopro. Burris Signature HD 3-15x44. OEM in Philippines by Scopro. Bushnell Forge 2-16x50 (new 2021). OEM in South Korea by Su Optics. Leupold VX-5HD 3-15x44 CDS-ZL2 (new 2021). Made in Oregon. Obvious choice, IMO...

    .2 MRAD adjustments are common on LPVOs, and I don't think is indicative of the OEM.

    Rifle Scopes New Leupold Scopes

    Wow, the new Leupold.com is up. All new reticle images and diagrams. Also: MSRP has been lowered to MAP?!

    1-8 Brownells MPO

    SFP MRAD CQ-NOMR reticle. Brownells also lists a “N-OMR” reticle in the “plus mount” package, but I suspect that is a typo, and it’s just the one reticle option.

    Rifle Scopes New Kahles 5-25 Variant

    Am I dumb for asking why the FOV ratio is less than the power ratio? What happened to "half the power, double the FOV"? Kahles 5-25 Kahles 5-25 DLR ZCO 5-27 reported FOV 21.3-4.5 ft @ 100 yds 23.10-4.8 ft @ 100 yds 21-4.5 ft @ 100 yds FOV ratio 21.3/4.5 = 4.7333 23.1/4.8 = 4.8125...

    Rifle Scopes New Kahles 5-25 Variant

    Funny thing about the conversion: you do not need to know there are 1.094 yards per meter. X unit @ 100 unit is the same angular measure whether unit is yards or meters. "10m @ 100m" equals "10yds @ 100yds".

    1-8 Brownells MPO

    Brownells receives rifle scope shipments from JOL but not from LOW.

    Rifle Scopes New Leupold Scopes

    Yes, at least for now. EuroOptic and OpticsPlanet list the same new scopes Doug posted.

    Rifle Scopes New Leupold Scopes

    Also worth mentioning the new DeltaPoint Micro for non-MOS Glock or S&W M&P. Dovetail mount, provides lower 1/3 co-witness with factory iron front sight, 3.5 battery life, motion-on, and machined rear sight dots in case the battery dies. Nifty...

    Rifle Scopes New Leupold Scopes

    It appears the VX-Freedom AR line is being phased out (listed as "No longer for sale" on Leupold.com) and replaced by the Mark 3HD line. That is, the Mark 3HD is appears to be the VX-Freedom AR with upgraded glass. Both have P5 dials, 30mm tubes, same magnification ranges. Is this accurate?

    Rifle Scopes Reticles for Meopta Optika 6 scopes.

    Not really, MRAD-1 is pretty much it. Zplus is sorta a tree with 2-MOA hashes. IMO, reticles are the weak link for Meopta. Here’s all the Meopta reticles on one page: https://sageratsafaris.com/meopta-rifle-scopes-and-red-dots/

    Scopes NOT MADE IN CHINA?

    A different summary of the supply-chain information found here: Master list of FFP long range scopes I hesitate to post this, because talking about OEMs seems taboo. Compiled from public sources, and probably not perfect. Nobody ever talks about specific OEMs (other than sometimes touting...

    Scopes NOT MADE IN CHINA?

    There isn't a clean answer to this question. Even if the optic is assembled in Philippines or Japan or USA, parts or raw materials may still be sourced from China. But since this is a frequently asked question, I've tried my best to answer it. This list includes the country of assembly for...

    What happened to Leupold Mk5 5-25x56 in MIL?

    It has nothing to do with being out of stock - Leupold.com normally maintains listings even for discontinued products. It’s almost certainly just a temporary website glitch. An intern was adding a reticle and clicked Delete instead of Update or something dumb like that.

    What happened to Leupold Mk5 5-25x56 in MIL?

    It's not just gone from the navigation, the product URL is broken as well. https://www.leupold.com/scopes/rifle-scopes/mark-5hd-5-25x56-mil I imagine they'll fix the glitch shortly. In the meantime, you can view reticles, reticle diagrams, specs, SKUs, and user manual here.

    Rifle Scopes Vortex razor locking turret mod?

    Maybe pop the cap off and slip an O-ring onto the turret body? https://www.mcmaster.com/o-rings/

    Rifle Scopes Newb question

    Do you have a torque wrench, like the Wheeler FAT wrench? Chances are the base or rings are loose. Finger-tight is NOT recoil-tight.
