    Rifle Scopes Brownell's 5-25x56 MPO is finally in stock!

    Have had a closer look through the scope indoors. There is a lot of shadowing as soon as the turrets are turned from center position. At the lowest magnification the shadow starts appearing at 1 Mil, and appear to covers approximately 3-4 mil of the reticle at a full (10 mil} revolution. At...

    Rifle Scopes Brownell's 5-25x56 MPO is finally in stock!

    Got my replacement scope today (same price as the first) , and can report that it does not have a wobbly windage knobb. It does unfortunately only allows for 19 mill adjustment. My picatinny rail has approximately 10 mill (36 moa) tilt and I was able to zero the rifle at 100 meters using a...

    Rifle Scopes Brownell's 5-25x56 MPO is finally in stock!

    Just talked with Brownells Norway. Since the this was a warranty returrn they just returned the money and not a new scope. I had to order the scope again, this time at $1080 instead of $970. Not quite happy with that. When the new scope arrives in about two weeks I will check it thoroughly. It...

    Rifle Scopes Brownell's 5-25x56 MPO is finally in stock!

    So today I realized that Brownells Norway had returned my money instead of sending me a new scope as we had agreed upon on the chat. I wonder if it is simply a misunderstanding or if they "know" I would return a second scope. Will try calling them tomorrow to find out what has happened.

    Rifle Scopes Brownell's 5-25x56 MPO is finally in stock!

    I decided to ask for a new scope to be delivered. If the second scope is not better than the first I will try to have a look at the Optika scopes.

    Rifle Scopes Brownell's 5-25x56 MPO is finally in stock!

    I did this and the cap was screwed firmly on. As I wrote in my first post, the screw end can be seen (through the objective lens) moving back and forth against the erector tube. I have shipped the scope back but it has not arrived yet, so I can stil call and ask for a new scope instead of a...

    Rifle Scopes Brownell's 5-25x56 MPO is finally in stock!

    Well, I found this on Nightforce home page. They obviously think the threads should be a tight fit. "We machine the screw that controls elevation adjustments to an unbelievable 110 threads per inch. It is so precise that it must be mated to its receiver by hand. Why go to so much trouble...

    Apparently I got what I paid for......? Please consider that I am talking about the Norwegian price. I still paid slightly more than you have to do in the US.

    Rifle Scopes Brownell's 5-25x56 MPO is finally in stock!

    Thanks for the reply. I found it rater strange that this scope had sloppy threading. My Nikon scopes are tight despite costing far less. Hell even the Athlon BTR 4-14x44 I had was not this sloppy fitted. And I know for sure how poorly the threads on the Athlon turrets was as I took the scope...

    Rifle Scopes Brownell's 5-25x56 MPO is finally in stock!

    I assumed that I had not been able to get the focusing perfect yet, so I considered the reticle issue to be a minor issue. Anyway I do not move my head around when shooting. I made a pair of plastic rings to mount the scope on a heavy stand so that I could check the tracking when the daylight...

    I made a short video showing the wobble in the windage turret.

    Rifle Scopes Brownell's 5-25x56 MPO is finally in stock!

    Based om my sample I would not recommend it. Hopefully this is a lemon. I am a bit undesided as to what I am going to do when I return this scope. Ask for a refund or have a new scope shipped. I need a new scope, but I do not need the hassle of having to do the QC for Brownells.

    Rifle Scopes Brownell's 5-25x56 MPO is finally in stock!

    I just bought a 5-25x56 MPO scope from Brownells Norway. I am going to send I back. Some issues. Turret/turret cap has a bit to sharp edges. I would expect them to eat through the fabric in my Eberlestock backpac if nothing is done to cover the sharp edges. If I was going to keep the scope I...
