Quigley-Ford

[koshkin]

After all these discussions over the years, I would like to take this opportunity to announce that I finally encountered Quigley-Ford riflescopes in the flesh, so to speak, at the NRA show.

They are everything I expected them to be.

LMFAO god that was such a good thread. I think a review should follow.

So a new high end hunting scope video is on the way then?

Hunting scope review coming? Yes.

Quigley-Ford in it? No.

So... "Razor Killer" thread then?

Any truth to the rumour that Quigley-Ford has a weight bench set up at their booth so that prospective purchasers can prove they're qualified to own one? I think you also have to show proof of prior employment in the concrete business.

Guys who have a Quigley-Ford mounted on their rifle are pretty special!

I was expecting a concrete pad and bench press setup, but none were apparent.

There was noone in the booth. There were a few scopes and a note "back in five minutes". I looked around and returned fifteen minutes later. There still wasn't anyone there, so I left. The scopes looked to be cutting edge 1980s technology except without any country of origin stamp. Visually, they reminded older AO Chinese Tasco scopes, but I had no way of verifying that.

@koshkin , you were ignored at the booth because lack of bow kills. The Breyer glass is only for the elite.

 

[gopherslayer]

Buddly wasn’t there to do autographs? What a ripoff. I’d want my Hotel comped.

That may very well be true. I also, regrettably, lack any experience with concrete work and can't easily recall benchpressing anything since high school.

I suspect it is my own inadequacy that prevents me from truly appreciating the greatness of these scopes.

You kinda have to admire the sheer brainless shamelessness...

Stealing that orange paper saying for my sig line. All the rest of you can "cash it mofos"

Hey, I was going to use that as my sig line! You're not the real deal badass motherfucker!

 

[pmclaine]

Cheap and Tacky....just like the NRA.

Amazing.

 

[impactaddict]

Any chance of an interview with the QF team? I’ve been shopping high end hunting scopes for months and this one checks a lot of boxes for me.

 

[shoots100]

This sucks, as I was so looking forward to driving around in my Quigley Ford, with a rifle that was topped with a Quigley Ford scope !!!

I am afraid not. There is a limit to my ability to keep a straight face and this would immediately go way past it.

Fancy little case for the scope though. That right there says that the scope does best when displayed on the coffee table along with a picture book about big game bow hunting.

 

[NewsShooter]

Buddy of mine bought one, asked me to help him set it up. I told him no, I'd already spent too much time with a Burris Eliminator for him.

That case is probably the most expensive thing about it. I will say it looks impressive.

 

[rhsc]

Yeah, if you're the sort of person who's impressed by the quality of the box a scope comes in, then Quigley-Ford might give you a case of envy...

.

Jeez, the jokes about this scope practically write themselves.

 

[Aftermath]

I wonder how the QF scopes compare to these:

DRS 6-24×50 | Shepherd Scopes

DRS (Dual Reticle System) 6-24x50

shepherdscopes.com

To be completely honest, I once owned a Shepherd dual reticle scope. At that time, it was the best scope I owned. It was an inch per hundred yard rig and I loved it. I had it laying in the back seat of a car with some other miscellaneous crap and some fucker broke the side glass to steal most of that shit.

 

[Desert Raven]

Perhaps I missed it, but did they display their sponsored shooter's (the-one-and-only Buddly) "soccer ball groups"?

@koshkin this report was gold. Thanks for reminding me of that epic thread. Much appreciated!

 

[tangloppen]

Wtf.
Getting SPi/x20.org vibes on this.

 

[Mike_in_FL]

Instead of THAT orange sheet of paper, they've should've just had a bench with 275 on it. Then the orange paper taped to the bar could say "don't even ask about buying one of our scopes if you can't bench this, pussy."

There was probably nobody at the booth because they had an emergency pour? See any mixers in the parking lot?

 

[mojavejim]

Such a rugged scope it comes in an armored box. What kinda eye relief does it have to go on a bow? Will it work with a 30" draw

 

[6.5SH]

Based on the banner in the booth they are the shooting world equivalent of the crap items kids have to sell for school fundraising drives.

I own a Shepherd rimfire model, used one year for our 12oz soda can shoot out to 400yds.
Interesting reticle, and a lot of fun to screw around with.
I just slapped it on a new CZ 457 Varmint Precision, and after a 50yd zero, got several hits at 150 and 250yds, so it does work, just not very precise.

Hey, at least it’s pretty customizable,

 

[gopherslayer]

Damn! They look like a Tasco and a Simmons produced crotch fruit at a Rave.

 

[Dobermann]

And no-one stole any of the scopes, either. Discerning bunch at the NRA show.

 

[SmolPP]

Should I sell my Nightforce now or not?

 

[Huskydriver]

Should I sell my Nightforce now or not?

Well yea... simply because it's a NF....

Hey guys!

The new Quigley FORD scope

Quigley Ford scopes have recently received their patent on a new scope. Can you believe they have come out with a new scope that is both first and second focal plane. To me this seemed impossible. I have been reviewing Q/F scopes for many years in different publications. I received one of these...

Well it was Houston, where there is no shortage of road work going on.

 

[SmolPP]

But it's one of the new anodized models...
Crap.
I guess I'd better start pouring concrete, pick up bow hunting, and get my bench press up.

So... "Razor Killer" thread then?

No no no no. There was a thread in the PX last week that said the IOR was the “Razor killer” lol

Only if you are using 80lb limbs on the bow.

I’m sure some of us have 80lb limbs…oh, you mean on the bow?
