    Rifle Scopes Vortex Razor HD GenII: Leaving Turrret Caps Off all the time?

    I really like most everything about the scope except I like to dial in my dope most of the time. Can a person just leave the turret caps off all of the time? What does this do to the water resistance ability of the scope? Can I use these nearly as easy as uncapped turrets? What are the cons...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST 1-4x24 Reticle Shifted.

    Well, I must concur that the customer service is good and quick. They received my scope mid-day a week ago Friday and it was back in my hands Wednesday. The post by Sierra770 makes my stomach turn. I hope my scope does not take a second dump. I'm willing to put up with one malf., but if it...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST 1-4x24 Reticle Shifted.

    Thanks for all of the replies. Even though I have a range in my backyard, you are correct, it takes time and money to re-zero an optic. Not to mention the psychologic effect of now shaking your trust in the optic. I guess it's the age old dilema.... Buy once, cry once or try to save some...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST 1-4x24 Reticle Shifted.

    Well, bad news. I have the scope on an Aug and have put several hundred rounds through it. I do a lot of dialing in elevation dope because I shoot plates at 100, 200, 300 and 400 yds. Up til now, I loved the scope. It tracked well and allowed effortless hits on 6" plates out to 400. After...

    Rifle Scopes Red Dots and Parallax

    From what I've read, red dots have little to "no?" parallax. Assuming that they have a small amount, how would the amount of parallax change as distance from the eye increased? In other words, assuming some parallax exists, in order to minimize it, should the red dot be as close the eye as...

    Rifle Scopes Bad Eyesight: FFP or SFP ???

    I need to hear from somone who knows for sure if the reticle is smaller at lower magnifications with the FFP scopes (My intuition leads me to believe that this should be the case). I am thinking that whenever I shoot over 100 yds, I always have my optics maxed out anyways, so perhaps for me it...

    Rifle Scopes Bad Eyesight: FFP or SFP ???

    So, in your opinion, do the PST scopes I'm considering have thick or thin reticle's? Thanks.

    Rifle Scopes Bad Eyesight: FFP or SFP ???

    I can’t decide between Vortex Viper PST 2.5-10x32 FFP or the 2.5-10x44 SFP. I really want the FFP, but I’m in my 50’s and my vision is getting bad, bifocals etc. My concern is that if I get the FFP, when I use the optic on 2.5x, especially with illumination at night, will I be able to see the...
