Hard to say, there's already a lot of competition in the $1000-$1400 market range, and with the pricing of the Strike Eagle now they'd have to be well over $1000 street. Be interesting to see where it falls, frankly I was not impressed with the Strike Eagle at all, esp. at an $800 street...

You can also order 15rd CZ factory mags now, but the only place I've seen them is from overseas, but the price really isn't bad even with shipping. The only thing I'd say about the 15rd factory mags is while they've functioned perfectly, they are pretty long compared to say the 10rd factory...

I always find that amusing.......is it really a "closeout" when you're taking backorders for new stock to be filled at a later date? Semantics on some level sure, but word choice really does matter.

100% unfounded speculation but I wonder if Burris is dumping the SCR 2 in the Pro to just have the SCR 1/4. That's about the 4th place I've seen that has the SCR 2 model hundreds cheaper than the SCR 2 1/4 version in the same scope this week in stores that were holding them all in the $1900...

Yep if you think the .357 is bad, the 329PD 44 mag is even worse, its' the most painful handgun I've fired bar none, 500 S&W I had was a pussy cat compared to it. It's all about the weight. With 44 special loads it was not bad, but with the rubber grips and full house 44 mags I've had more...

Obviously any company can go away at any time without the general public knowing in advance, and it doesn't take a buy out/layoffs to see a companies quality to go crap. That said right now with the rumors around what could or could not happen to Bushnell and the changing of ownership, layoffs...

Pretty much, take a good smaller company with a good established reputation, then cut costs and quality as much as possible and expand the product line into as many new areas as possible, reap max profits, and then dump it when the consumer figures it out and sales tank.

Vortex isn't the only one, Burris clearly increased effective prices in the last 2-3 weeks. Used to be you could get a XTR III for $925 and the XTR Pro in the $1450 range if you shopped around. Now all those same stores are running $1250 for the XTR III and $1950 more for the XTR Pro...

Yeah mine is a newer production as well from the Philippines, seems like there may just be a lot of sample to sample variation. I'll have to see if I stumble across any locally in stock to play with and compare.

Which is kind of my point, the copy of the XTR 3 I have, I'd say turret feel is noticeable below any of my PST 2's and it's not like I think the pST 2 is great in this area in the first place. The XTR 3 clicks are solid feeling and loud, but it's very mushy between clicks and you can feel the...

Yep it's kind of a crap shoot, if the angles are not just right between the clamp and the rail, the surface area of contact is almost nothing, and you really need to crank it down to stay. There's also how deep the angles are cut etc. so you can have the clamp "bottom out" before it really...

I'm a big fan of the lever lock versions, I've had the knob versions slip on rails before in shooting sessions because you just can't get much torque on it, and when it's truly just a slip fit interface with no interconnection, you want to be able to torque it down good, esp. when it's taking...

It is interesting, while we always tend to see a variety of opinions on how good/bad optics are, one thing I've noticed about the XTR III's is that people seem to report very different results in things that would normally be quite consistent, for example how solid the knob clicks are or if they...

I've had a couple JP 22 barrels, and while they've been 100% reliable with a large variety of ammo, they have not been impressive in the accuracy department. Even JP's manual states "From most high‐velocity ammunition, you can expect 2‐3 MOA and 1.5‐2 MOA out of less expensive target‐ or...

Bringing out a "new" .22 round and changing the box/name and increasing the price is starting to become a sport.

Got one of these last week, for the $900 range it's seems okay, range time will tell though. I tend to run PST 2's on my budget range guns, mostly because if it breaks I'm not in a comp etc. and I brought 5 other guns to shoot (to be fair I have several and have never had one go down, in fact...

In a fantasy world we'd get suppressors off the NFA list. It's estimated there's ~450 million guns in the US, but only ~3 million registered suppressors. They will never be main stream, even if you got rid of NFA, the vast majority of hunting rifles are not threaded, and the vast majority of...

Seems pretty strait forward. The Sig versions obviously offer the ability to auto adjust and connect to their rangefinders, but I don't know that it really saves you that much time compared to dialing yardage on the HUD. I suppose unless someone else is doing the ranging for you. The other...

Used many of both, both work well. Super nit picky but I will say that the NF is easier for me to level a scope in, not sure if it's texture, shape, maybe thread pitch, etc. but I find it much easier to set tension on the rings so the scope will move easily but stay put. With the MXM mounts it...

I think a couple reasons. 1) the mag issue was reported a lot, evidently they've changed the mags. My 300wm had issues feeding rounds from the mags. Beretta was not helpful about it when I sent it in they just said they could not repeat it with their ammo (they never said what ammo they...
