    I have not actually. Do you have some experience with one? If so, how do you like the glass and illumination in daylight.

    Rifle Scopes Primary Arms Platinum 1-8x Scope feedback

    Fair point. Especially given it's Primary Arms FIRST product into the so called mid/high tier market. MrGunsandGear did a review on YouTube and was highlighting the true 1x visibility and glass quality so I was inntrigued a bit. The USO 8c which I had was a bit disappointing even at a $1700-$2k...

    Rifle Scopes USO ER-25 compared to other optics

    Hey guys. Was recently approached to trade my Nightforce Beast for a US Optics ER-25 w/ the H59 reticle. Now when considering trades I was only really looking for brands like S&B, Minox or Tangent Theta as I felt that those would be the only options which would be a step up from the Beast in...

    Rifle Scopes Glass Comparison S&B vs Kahles vs NF

    Thanks everyone for the excellent feedback. I agree that the quality of the glass does not make the shooter. That being said, my question really comes from a "pride of ownership" standpoint in wanting to own the best glass on the market. My first premium optic was the Vortex Razor Gen ll 3-18x...

    Rifle Scopes Glass Comparison S&B vs Kahles vs NF

    Thank for the reply. Great input. I am responding to this as well as the other comments. To your point on the gray color in Low Light, I certainly agree. I find that it goes away once you pull magnification back a bit to around 15x-18x. Aside from the glass and after looking at youtube videos of...

    Rifle Scopes scope recommendations for spr

    Razor Gen ll 1-6x is great. Looking out to 500-600 yards is clear. It is all very easy for hold-overs and the 1x/red is prefect for close quarter. SFP is reallt the downside but in reality with the large eye box you will really only be at 1x or 6x. Being anything in between doesnt add value.

    Rifle Scopes First vs second focal plane

    Second focal plane is good for 1-5,1-6x or or even 1-8 type scopes where you are really using it as a red dot at short distance and instance cranking to max power for anything longer range. In second focal, the subtensions only hold true at max power, so if you are at 4x within a 1-6x scope and...

    Agreed. If YOU can't see the difference you are better off and the Primary will suit you just fine.

    Rifle Scopes Kahles k624i MSR2 or S&B pmii 5-25 MSR ???

    I have looked through both side-by-side and feel the S&B has an edge over the Kahles in terms of optical clarity. The eyebox on the Kahles however is excellent. I all like their turrets. I would go S&B
