    Rifle Scopes What are some good scope rings?

    I'd get the Vortex branded Seekins. Good stuff, IMO.

    Rifle Scopes Spuhr Mounts 18% off today

    Same. This is after my 'in stock' DMR2-i ordered Thanksgiving went to 'late Jan' days after placing the order, then 'magically' showed up just before Xmas. 14-24 days = who knows, but at least in this case I have another mount to use in the meantime, so I'll wait and take the decent price...

    Rifle Scopes Happy New Years Hiders! Time for Change

    This seems to happen a lot more nowadays versus before SH moved to Scout. and seeing 'signs of life' in various threads RE: specific scopes, for a lot of people, will stick in their heads longer than looking through banner ads of 'unknown vendors', etc. Visibility/marketing and once getting...

    Rifle Scopes Scope Decision: Minox vs S&B

    ^ this. The best glass and turrets with a reticle that doesn't do it for you isn't of much use. Have heard enough about the Minox from people running them (of course, S&B as well) that I'm not worried about reliability (they're on my list at the moment possibly for both 1-8 and 5-25) that I'd...

    Rifle Scopes 1-8x FFP options

    Follow the link already provided + google. Somewhere or another I had found some discussion where it sounded like Trijicon acknowledged the problem but hasn't fixed it. YMMV if you care or not. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebLVQgB_QBM No firsthand experience but the thread on it made it...

    Rifle Scopes 1-8x FFP options

    I'll be using the rifle in question in 3 gun occasionally - I run a VX6 multi-gun (they keep changing the name on their VX6 lineup, but it's a daylight bright dot + SPR reticle) on my primary 5.56/.223 3gun rifle currently. The .308 gas rifle in question is currently running a DMR2 3.5-21 and I...

    Rifle Scopes Best QD base for a precision bolt rifle?

    Those terms may be mutually exclusive from one another. ;) Define your usage first - no one gripes about Spuhr mounts, but $$, moreso if not going to use the ability to mount something else to the Spuhr (e.g. angle indicator, RMR, ..). I'm not entirely sure if you're looking for the base the...

    Rifle Scopes 1-8x FFP options

    Thanks - added to the list along with the HiLux Ilya mentioned. Family emergency had me traveling, so a fair delay since the original post and this response, but I appreciate the comments and additions. Perhaps it'll turn up in someone's search in the future and save them some time. :) For...

    Rifle Scopes *JUST RELEASED* Nightforce NX8 FFP 1-8x24mm 30mm Tube & ATACR F1 1-8x24mm 34mm Tube Models

    Thanks - capped windage and lock-at-zero elevation? If so, yeah - I'm in for that. :)

    Rifle Scopes 1-8x FFP options

    There seems to be a dearth of these, although it's nice NF has just announced two options. And ok - maybe not a dearth as I write them all down, but - still looking. :D Not intending to debate the merits of exactly when FFP becomes useful (e.g. I'd agree zero value in a 1-4, debatable in 1-6 as...

    Rifle Scopes *JUST RELEASED* Nightforce NX8 FFP 1-8x24mm 30mm Tube & ATACR F1 1-8x24mm 34mm Tube Models

    This is good info as I've been considering the Minox, now also considering the NX8 and ATACR. Can someone explain the 'other' turrets not-yet-available on the NF? Exposed but locking/what's the lock mechanism?

    Rifle Scopes *JUST RELEASED* Nightforce NX8 FFP 1-8x24mm 30mm Tube & ATACR F1 1-8x24mm 34mm Tube Models

    Interested- I'm assuming MSRP or are any hide vendors offering anything off? Are they shipping at this point, or if not - when? Not sure at all between the NX8 and ATACR. Like the weight of the NX8, but not sure on the .2mil turrets vs .1 on the ATACR, and like the ATACR reticle slightly more...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Tact Elite ERS 3.5-21 issue/question

    Check the internal zero first. Possible but I doubt you stripped the splines. It's possible the top cap is loose or the internal Allen screws. And yes, the ERS will stop the turret from turning at both ends of movement.

    Rifle Scopes New Vortex Razor Gen? 1-?

    It's all down to intended use, I guess..including more than a bit of hope that sooner or later someone will make the right reticle compromises that it works out for me. I do a fair amount of 3gun so need close to 1x on the low end, while soon enough I'm at 2 semis needing glass, including a.308...

    Rifle Scopes New Vortex Razor Gen? 1-?

    Only thing of interest to me there is bringing back the reticle spotter eyepieces, as had written Vortex off when they'd canceled them. Lighter 1-6 is 'good,' but it's not lighter AND 1-8 FFP, so another yawn here. Little interest in their low-end/China lineup.

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell DMR2 Compared to others?

    Have a DMR-ii illuminated coming, eventually, once OP gets them in stock. Didn't realize the thicker reticle for illuminated comment, but will be comparing it to my ERS once it eventually shows up. Have compared my ERS to PSTs and Razors previously so will be interesting to see how it compares...

    Rifle Scopes First long range scope purchase.Would like help choosing..

    New or used 3.5-21 Bushnell ERS, used DMR or new DMR-ii, Burris XTR, XRS, US Optics used..you're in a nice enough price range to have a good set of options below or at $2K. If possible, take a look at all of the various reticles and decide on dial vs hold preferences, see if any of the...

    Rifle Scopes So what scopes are you grabbing this Black Friday?

    You may have gotten the better deal. I'm in the 'shipping in 1-8 days' state, while I've got a brand new rifle waiting for it's X-mas present. :D The last time I saw the '1-8 days' from Optics Planet, I think it showed up a few weeks later, so - fingers crossed. Either way, thanks for the...

    Rifle Scopes 2 rifles sharing 1 scope??

    Do-able but a PITA - I'll usually buy a used or semi-cheap 'temporary' optic if I don't have a spare versus swapping optics. Once an optic is set up on a rifle, I prefer to leave it there unless it's really a 'once-in-a-blue-moon' shooter, which I try not to have. Having said that, there are...
