Rifle Scopes Falcon scopes

[Mag 300]

I picked up a used Falcon as a what I thought would be sight in scope nothing that I would use daily.

Well I was WRONG these are a great scope and for the $$$ they cannot be beat , yes the Premier and the USoptics I have are clearer but for the $400.00 I picked it up for its great .
Tracking tested well and I have found no issues with these at all.
I would shoot a match any time with one .

Just my 2 cents

Re: Falcon scopes

Yes bill imho they are very good scopes for the money,I just recently sold one (5.5-25x56)this scope was great.I have heard quite a few issues with these scopes but i had zero issues with this scope.
The only thing i didnt like about the scope was the weight.Man that thing was heavy.It was built like a tank but at 34oz.(i think)it was a monster....

My "budget shooter" rifle has come together using the Falcon Menace 4x14x40, which has proven to be accurate, repeatable, reliable, and clear. I'm not sure what I'd "trade up" for!

Re: Falcon scopes

I tried them - and as stated - a LOT of bang for the buck ...

Mil/Mil
FFP
EMD reticle
Decent glass

The biggest flaw I had was the eye relief ... MAN it was picky ... even at lower power it was still rough.

Re: Falcon scopes

I love my Menace. I am hoping for somthing in the low power range to come out. Comperable to the new Premier 1.1x8.

Anything like that available in the near future?

I have had two different models of the FFP variable, both went south on me.

Re: Falcon scopes

Yep, they get the job done for a lot less $$$.
A little more eye relief would be really nice.

Re: Falcon scopes

I am surprised but to date mine have been great

Re: Falcon scopes

My shooting bud has one on a 300WM and its stood up just fine so far, I was surprised with the clarity of the glass.

Re: Falcon scopes

I think for such a budget scope it's not necessarily the quality of the scope that's in question, but the consistency of the quality that should be in question.

However, I apparently got one of the good ones and have been shooting the hell out of it with absolutely nothing but good luck, no eye relief issues, and consistent reliability.

I'd be retiscent to sell this scope if I bought into higher quality glass. I'd most likely keep it for a trainer.

Your mileage may vary, but I'm just going to go knock on some wood over here and hope my experience stays the same.
