Rifle Scopes Tariff effects on imported optics

Tariffs always get passed on to the consumer in the long run. Unless the costs to manufacture magically go down everything coming across the border unless it’s exempt is going to increase in price with new tarrifs.
Especially when the tariff is equal or greater than the actual margins...

Rifle Scopes Tariff effects on imported optics

Just curious if any of our vendors or reps have been in talks about potential price increases due to tarrifs. Would love to know what the likes of vortex, Armament, ZCO, NF , S&B , ect are planning to do in the short and long term.

I have discussed it, but as of right now as of this post nothing is confirmed yet. I'll say that if there is something you want and can get it, it is probably cheaper right now :(

Anyone Make An Extended Lever (not knob) For The Atlas Bipods?

The Atlas CAL Gen 2 comes standard with a podloc style handle, are you looking for something longer than that? IMO it’s plenty long.
Yes. Mine for some reason when you tighten it, it has a very short degree of travel before it locks up really tight, and at that point it's still not tight enough for my preference. The, when I want to loosen it, it's almost impossible.

Well, you do have to be a complete piece of shit to get fired from the federal goobermint. So there's that feather in her cap!

They offered an 8 months pay and benefits compensation for anyone that wanted to quit.
So yeah, pretty stoooopid to not take the offer. Of course her diversity in black hair culture degree doesn't have a bright outlook for employment in the job market.

No need to be embarrassed at all brother! We all learn something new everyday.

I wish I could like those M-brace's but the top of the rings are too thick to make room for the crossbolt. On my optics I use my left eye to see/view the turret position with my cheek still on the stock and the M-brace blocks my view.

Vortex RazorHD Gen III 6-36x56 vs NF ATACR 7-35x56

My perspective is from the consumer, not the seller. So take it for what it's worth.

To me this explains why the market share dropped on the Gen3 6-36. It was the cream of the crop when you could buy it at under 2k.

They are just another data point at sub 3k. At the current price you need to start finding features you like or dislike, brand loyalty, warranty, customer support, etc all plays into it. They are still competing, I don't find any fault with my Gen3 6-36 or gen2 4.5-27 for that matter. If they are side by side I do prefer the NF by a small margin.


Well it does matter when consumers want a price that's better than what a dealer gets it for which has happened hundreds of times to me personally. There's no way a dealer can stay in business by selling items to customer's for hundred's of dollars less than what they pay.

A little Loctite would have prevented that 🤣


I had to change a 18.4-38 inside dual in the middle of a plowed field in August or September, all because of sheered bolts on a plow point from the previous spring. I was mad, but it was ultimately my own doing. I looked for the sheered point that spring, but was off by about 20ft.

Look for unimounts that have the material removed (I scribbled in red). This will allow you to over hang it rearward to meet your PRS positional needs. I have the same issue with my long action rifle.

I want to know when and If any of these treasonous mfs are going to be locked up, better yet, hung by the neck!

Let me recommend a good book to read. Animal Farm. It's kinda like reading a parable but it's easy to relate to the current events. Almost Nostradamus type stuff.
All the right things are being said to satiate the people. Words do not fill the stomach but it keeps them at bay until hopelessness settles in.

All the world is a stage.

How about we discuss the regulations of a burdensome federal, state and local government making it cheaper to ship and import products versus making them here.

I have looked for American made products when I can, but for the sake of argument, we were buying cheap goods and living with the shortcomings, now we wanna complain about having to pay more for the same short comings.

There are options for every product, we just don't want to pay for it and we want to blame the manufacturer, when in fact it was us and government that created the problem to begin with.
