    Rifle Scopes Recommend a FFP for NRL22 Rifle matches

    Have you tried the zero stop shim kit on the Argos BTR? It gets close, but not precise like one of our true precision zero stop scopes. If you need a set of shims, shoot me an email at [email protected] and I will send you a set.

    Rifle Scopes Midway USA Sale Athlon Midas BTR 4.5-27x 30mm tube $339 free shipping

    The Midas TAC and ARES ETR both have more resistance than the Midas BTR. I agree, resistance on the Midas BTR made it a bench rest scope (also, second focal is a plus in that instance) IMO.

    Rifle Scopes Buying my first higher end scope.

    Correct on both statements. The Ares ETR does have the better ED Glass vs the Ares BTR with HD Glass. Essentially, the Ares ETR will have a sharper image, due to the ED glass better eliminating chromatic aberration.

    Take a look at the Ares ETR. You'll see them shipping out in July. MAP price is $1,199. ED Glass and a really nice MIL reticle design with a floating .2 MIL dot.

    Na They pass box tests in QC and in my experience on my firearms. Every scope i mount on my firearms get a box test and a tall target test. If it doesn't pass, we would be happy to check it out and correct it for you

    Love the response. Hilarious! I wasn't referring to the drone though. I meant the mirror system that attaches to your scopes objective, in response to the sextant. I too greatly admire Brian litz and all of AB's work and appreciate the video and their problem solving

    I suppose that depends on your intended purpose and shooting style preferences. The reticles are valid at 15x on both models. So if you plan on relying on the reticle, and you don't shoot over 15x, maybe the 2.5-15x is the winner for you. I use 15x on a 6-24x50 Helos BTR for 1,000 yard shots...

    The interior of the Midas BTR turret doesn't quite work out with the Washer kit. The Washer kit is intended for the Argos BTR and the Talos BTR. The new Midas TAC (FFP) does have an actual precision zero stop system. It's definitely worth a look!

    Spotting scopes

    Yes, our Ares spotter does have a lock ring to allow the scope to rotate on its base. If you toss it on a window mount, you'd still be able to use the angled lens from a vehicle by rotating the scope. I know we have used the Cronus to spot splash at 1 mile, and it did excellent. I haven't tried...
