    Rifle Scopes 3 gun, is daylight bright illume a big advantage???

    I like having the daylight bright dot/reticle for 3 gun, but it will really depend on your particular matches as well as ranges and environments. The 'hoser' targets inside of 20-25 yards are still IMO easier and quicker with a dot, moreso if your choice of match includes headshots or in some...

    Rifle Scopes Scope leveling wedge

    Can't speak to the Razor, but had the same issue on my Spuhr w/DMR2 - the illumination portion of the turret hangs down below the bottom flat on the scope. There's just enough room to fiddle it in, but it also depends on the mount and how far forward. I think I used the Arisaka as the Spuhr...

    Desert Tech MDR

    What was the problem with your ZP8? Running a dmr2 on my MDR currently but just picked up a ZP8 as well. For those asking about cases... Pretty sure the LaRue case is made by Explorer. Search on Amazon for Explorer MOJO for a very similar case at 1/3-1/4 the cost of the LaRue. (Have one for...

    Rifle Scopes Assistance deciding between three different scopes

    Which reticle in the 6-24? I'd go with the DMR personally as it has 'good enough' glass, sold reticle and is near bulletproof. I believe the DMR is an overall notch above the 6-24. Was intrigued by a handful of IORs but dissuaded by reticle choices and Hide threads so YMMV there.

    Rifle Scopes 1x6 Scope Advice

    Might also consider a vx6 leupold, possibly with a firedot reticle if daylight bright is desired. I've run a vx6 Firedot spr in 3gun for a few years now pretty happily, although haven't checked their reticle options lately. Also agree on the Razor being a popular and solid choice, although a...

    Rifle Scopes Minox ZP8 discontinued?

    Got a solid deal on a used ZP8 but wanted to give kudos to CS Tactical who gave some good feedback on some options I was considering and wasn't based solely on highest price. They also had a very good hide price, best I'd seen. Will do business in future.

    Rifle Scopes Best place to Buy?

    Had a good experience with Mile High, and got good info from Liberty Optics previously. Contacted CS Tactical recently and while I wound up finding a used option I couldn't pass up, Mike gave solid advice including where option A wasn't simply the most expensive. Would/will do business with again.

    Rifle Scopes Aero Precision mounts for precision rifle?

    I liked the idea of the ultralight Aero but had one slip a new optic, torqued and loc-tited on a .308, before becoming aware of the vertical split ring issues. Not sure what my standby replacement becomes.. It was a Spuhr for that rifle but not sure that will become my ($$$) standby or not.

    Rifle Scopes Best place to Buy?

    You did. I got a good deal but mine took over a month from 'in stock.' Exactly. I also waited 2 months on a Spuhr from OP, although again, at a decent price. If in doubt or need something by a given time, I'd call, as they've admitted their website stock tracking is far from being up to...

    Rifle Scopes Multi-Caliber System and Scope Choice

    Personally, I'd go about it from the standpoint of irrespective of which caliber will be used for the specific rifle, what are the min and max ranges and types/sizes of targets you're expecting to shoot at? That should give a good basis for range, while the larger calibers (your winmag and...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex AMG Anodized Finish

    Haven't yet owned an AMG, but why not use a scope wrap if it's a concern? Personally, I figure rifles and optics are meant to be used, and don't worry about normal wear and tear, but also would prefer gear doesn't look like it's been through a war after a range outing or a few matches, so maybe...

    Rifle Scopes Another Vortex down

    I suspect you're right. At various competitions, training events, etc. there are a handful but pretty small # running S&B, Mk8 Leupold, etc., and a fair number of Razors and PSTs. Some friends I've had to slowly convince over time to 'step up,' which meant from going from random low-price...

    Rifle Scopes Minox ZP8 discontinued?

    Thanks - have dealt with B&H before, generally happily but that 'discontinued' bit got me going.

    This scope has been on my short list for a while but saw B&H showing as discontinued. Can anyone in the know confirm or deny?
