Indy died in 2005...

Well, now that I bought a Magnetospeed, Caldwell will release it tomorrow. m

I'd like to thank everyone for taking time to reply. I appreciate all of the input. After reading through all of the replies, studying specs, online reviews, and videos, it basically came down to two choices: March FX 5-40 GII, or Vortex Razor 6-36 GIII ...and in the end, I ordered the...

Absolutely agree on looking through, and given the option I will certainly do so. But around here, there are really only a couple of options: Cabelas - typical sporting goods store selection. Mostly Leupold, Vortex, various other 'hunting' optics. LGS - Vortex, not really much else. Local...

It's certainly cheaper, but if you read the previous posts, the Burris XTR Pro gets a lot of positive comments. And that is the reason I created this thread. Assume for a moment that the Burris XTR Pro is that good for the price, and that it's performance is >< that close to optics costing...

Thanks for the replies everyone! I'm basically down to three options now: Vortex 6-36 GIII March FX 5-40 GII Burris 5.5-30 XTR Pro While I would like to consider TT, ZCO, and S&B - the reality is that getting any of those basically just eats into the budget for any other components. Think...

@Franko - I had meant to ask what the advantages are for the lower adjustment range erector. Based on what I've read so far, the erector adjusts by altering the angle of the erector to the optical center of the main lenses. Or, that's how I understand it, at least. (This would be similar to how...

Thanks for the reply. I've been to a few matches around here. So far, other than mine and a friends Vortex PST IIs, the only high end scope I've seen is a Nightforce - I don't know which one. If there is a large regional match coming up, I'll see about going, maybe something interesting will...

I have contacted S&B about a mil discount. No reply yet. I looked at the 3-27x56 and the 12-50x56. One thing I'm not sure I understand is why the 12-50 is so much less spendy than the other S&B scopes. Is the design that different, or that much older? ETA: It does look like it's a ~12yo...

I don't think I'll be doing PRS. Local varmint matches, 300+ yd target competitions, and F class. There is at least one 1000yd range not too far from me. I'm also interested in going to long range classes, and eventually ELR. All of my optics exposure is from photography - I have a number of...

Thank you @Big Timber and @Birddog6424 - I was not aware the XTR Pro had updated glass specs over the XTRIII. It looks like its a choice between the March and the Burris.

After some feedback, I've updated my list: March FX Tactical Gen II 5-40x56 Nightforce ATACR 7-35 F1 Leupold MK5HD 7-35x56 Leica PRS 5-30x56 Burris XTR Pro 5.5-30x56 I'm leaning March...

Nothing is ruled out. NF crowds the top of my price range. To be honest, I avoided NF a bit because of the over the top fanboy-ism... As lame as this may sound, I'm just not a fan of the goldish-bronzy color of Vortex. I suppose I could send it off to get cerakoted. m

Many choices available within that budget. For 1911s, SA TRPs are hard to beat, but Dan Wesson makes a number of seriously well built 1911s as well. I have a DW Guardian in 9mm. Extremely well finished. If you're possibly thinking of something a bit more modern- like a 2011, you'd do well to...

I've looked at a few ZCOs in the PX. I'll keep my eyes open for those and any TTs. m

Thanks for the reply. My understanding is that the Tract and Maven are nearly identical. I don't have any insight into the optics business, but I expect that the base mechanicals and the optical formula are the same (or nearly so), with the retailer tweaking some of the specifications within a...

Good morning all, I'm starting this post to discuss what others have done when looking to invest in a new optic. There are a number of options in the price range I have below, so I'm not asking whether or not a specific scope is 'best', but what have others done to help whittle the list down to...

Nothing we saw on track this week means all that much. These tests are, more or less, glorified, long term installation laps. And sandbagging. The teams got to show (possibly one use only) their liveries, and performance was far down the 'to do' list. Porpoising probably caught a number of teams...

I ordered one on the 18th and received the shipping notice from UPS the evening of the 25th. m

Well, this just cost me $1100... m
