    Rifle Scopes Vortex Skyline standard vs ED spotters

    Re: Vortex Skyline standard vs ED spotters I have had both Skylines, ED and non-ED, and returned them both. The non-ED had some serious chromatic aberration and the ED version wasn't that much of an improvement. For sure not $200 better. I replaced them with a Celestron Regal 80F-ED and...

    Rifle Scopes Butler Creek flip ups for Nikon Buckmaster 6-18x40

    Has anyone put Butler Creek flip ups on their Nikon Buckmaster 6-18x40SF? I'm getting conflicting information about the actual ocular and obj diameters in mm and don't have any way to measure right now. I think the BC sizes are somewhere around #16 for the ocular and #29 for the obj but want to...

    Rifle Scopes A Vortex Customer Service Experience

    Re: A Vortex Customer Service Experience Doc, What does just removing-reinstalling the eyepiece do to clear up the vision? Even if that fixes the problem every time I'm not sure I would want to be removing the eyepiece out in the field or on the range. Wind + blowing dust and dirt might...

    Rifle Scopes A Vortex Customer Service Experience

    Re: A Vortex Customer Service Experience Doc...I'm glad you had a good experience with Vortex with your Vortex 80. I'm sorry to report I am having an opposite experience so far with the same scope--and with Vortex--but it's still early in the process for me. I bought a Vortex Skyline...

    Rifle Scopes Weaver Classic V 6-24x42

    Looking for information/experiences/reviews of this scope. The .223bdc reticle specifically. I did a search but keep getting the 200 latest posts regardless of topic. Obviously I'm doing something wrong but can't figure out what it is. Do you have to have a minimum number of posts before you...

    Rifle Scopes A Vortex Customer Service Experience

    Re: A Vortex Customer Service Experience I couldn't agree more about the tripod that comes with the Vortex Skyline 20-60x80 scope. I didn't expect much to begin with and will replace it asap with a decent one, but wish they would just leave it out of the package and put the (minimal?) cost of...
