Ended up with 2 of the 5 Series 3-18 Crimson Trace Jap built scopes for $850

They are sitting here waiting on new rings to show up.

According to Midway they were $1800 each when they first stocked them.

Glass looks excellent. My Swarovski 6 Series 2-12 is clearer and brighter but not dramatically so.

We will see how it goes. They will work well on the kid's rifles if they end up getting serious about this stuff.

Lose some points to the Meopta 6-24 ZD, but almost everything does.

I am going to throw them in a 34mm mount and do a tracking test on them next weekend if the parts I need get here.

Do yours show a light reflection at 10 o'clock between 3 & 5 magnification? It took a while to notice it, and then I always noticed it. One went back to CT, they returned it "fixed" but nothing changed. They had no response when told it wasn't fixed. So they both went back to Midway, who has a really nice return policy and process.

I am not an "illumination guy" so I doubt that it will ever ben an issue.

I am happy with them. Once the rings get here I'll know more.

That's just their over inflated MSRP so when it's "on sale", they look like a steal.

Midway also says the price of a Vortex Razor G2 is $2900.

The one I tried out failed a tracking test.
