    Rifle Scopes Is this set up correct?

    I'm about to place my order for an SS 3-9x42 and I just want to double check with you guys who know a bit more about set ups to see if everything is in order and will work. Scope: http://swfa.com/SWFA-SS-3-9x42-Tactical-Riflescope-P41044.aspx and then the mount is...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA SS 3-9x42 vs. IOR 2.5-10x42

    So after looking around now for a while and talking to Chris at SWFA, I've been recommended and told that the SS 3-9x42 is pretty much the "best" sub-$1000 scope for an AR/SPR type rifle. I've read enough reviews here and in other places to suggest that while it may not be "the best", it's...

    Rifle Scopes EOTech or Aimpoint?

    Re: EOTech or Aimpoint? I have an EOTech XPS2-2 and I love it. About 2,700 rounds down range using the optic and so far not a single problem. I've tested a friends older model Aimpoint and I personally prefer the 65MOA reticle with the 1MOA dots of the EOTech over the 2MOA single dot...

    Re: Noob needs help with his first scope. Doing so now, steve123, thanks again for the help. On another note, is there any general consensus on Trijicon Accupoints? The more that I'm looking at them and reading, the more that I'm liking and considering them over other options.

    Re: Noob needs help with his first scope. Oh boy, lots of responses to answer to. @head2h2o: I'm liking the look of the conquest, too, but as I said I'm still quite new and unfamiliar with the more detailed specifics of scopes. Could you educate me on their inability to adjust internally and...
