Horus, USO, and doesn't Leupold make a FFP?

Re: first focal plane mil/mil under 1.5k list

Don't think those three would make his requirements.

Re: first focal plane mil/mil under 1.5k list

I guess with the live.com discount, you could pick up a Leupold FFP for about $1500.

Re: first focal plane mil/mil under 1.5k list

Yeah, the 15x would knock out USO, but he can get a Horus for under $1500

Re: first focal plane mil/mil under 1.5k list

Price would kill the USO and Leupold, and the "mildot reticle only" would kill the Horus. The requirements severely limit choices.

Leupold 6.5-20 FFP $1699 on ebay, with the Live.com discount can be had for $1500

I dunno, you could sort of argue that the Horus qualifies as MilDot, as much as the IOR MP-8's do. Depends on how literal the requirements are read.

Leupold is out regardless of the price because of the Mil/Mil requirement. Hard to "interpret" that any other way.

Re: first focal plane mil/mil under 1.5k list

ahh, forgot about the mil/mil.

 

[matchking]

Re: first focal plane mil/mil under 1.5k list

Yeah, I don't know if the Leupold "mil/mil" setups are available on their FFP models.

As a practical matter, Mil/Mil isn't available on any Leupolds.

I supposed technically the OP didn't specify it had to be 0.1 or 0.2 MRAD turrets, but I think that 0.5MRAD is outside a reasonable interpretation. IMHO, the 0.5MRAD turrets is just Luepold's way of mocking us and our petty requests.

Re: first focal plane mil/mil under 1.5k list

I don't think they are .5 MRAD, but I agree that there mil-adjustment is not ideal - at the moment.

Ooops, meant to say 0.05MRAD.

Re: first focal plane mil/mil under 1.5k list

well the info you guys supplied was excellent, I basically picked the cheapest of four scopes that fit my needs for now,

decending from most expensive to cheapest

1. schmidt bender
2. nightforce mil/mil first focal plane
3. premier riflescopes
4. falcon optics 5-25x56 mil adjustment

i ordered my falcon today at 450 bones. If i determine it does not fit my needs, i will purchase a premier as budget permits
