    I'd like to see 18" 22" and 24" barrel length options in most of the fine calibers already mentioned.

    Suppressors SilencerCo Omega First Round Failure - What went wrong?

    My brothers omega is still going strong, glad sico is taking care of the can. 10 month wait and a failure on the first shot has got to be disappointing though. all the anticipation and pop goes the can.. sucks. paying return shipping also sucks, when it clearly is a manufacturing issue...

    Rifle Scopes Exciting scopes coming from Bushnell the ERS & XRS Gen II

    No mention of an ers 2, just the xrs 2. If they are on track to drop the xrs2 in September, they will probably spend the next three months filling orders. Highly unlikely an ers 2 will show up this year, if it's even in the works,

    Rifle Scopes Burris XTRii vs $30 Tasco

    I bought my scope online, Never looked through one before hand. I still havent seen a xtr2 in the wild, it's been over a year and I visit the local cabelas and other gun shops quite frequently. I put forward my experience not to bash Burris or say all xtr2 glass is bad. If you could look through...

    Rifle Scopes Burris XTRii vs $30 Tasco

    I noticed this issue at 100 yards originally, the 50 yard photo was taken in my backyard when I got home and decided to see if my $30 dollar Tasco was any better just for laughs. I read all the threads on the xtr2 and almost every thread in the rifle optics section back when the site was still...

    Rifle Scopes Burris XTRii vs $30 Tasco

    . If I do that with my xtr2 but to the far left of the eye box the chromatic aberrations go away and the image does improve a little. My dad has a 3x9x50 1" tube Burris I see just fine through and I actually like that scope. I'd be happy to send you the xtr2 birddog.

    Rifle Scopes Burris XTRii vs $30 Tasco

    Well I spent some time with a white wall, parallax at infinity and whispered sweet nothings to the diopter and got that baby as crisp as i could. Went outside and there was a little improvement but still no bueno. The longer you look, the worse the image got.(30sec-1min) its as if the scope will...

    Rifle Scopes Burris XTRii vs $30 Tasco

    Thanks for the thoughtful response birddog. Im going to follow the steps to a T again and hope for the best. I really dont want to waste my time or burris' sending the scope back and for them to tell me all is well. Im certainly not trying to bash burris or say their scopes suck. I just want to...

    Thank you guy for the responses, I appreciate it. birddog, it was your steadfast defense and praise of the xtr2 that nudged me in its direction. :) I think my 30 year old eyes are not the ones with an issue.

    Rifle Scopes Burris XTRii vs $30 Tasco

    Diopter was set according to the hide instructions, parallax was set at the range at 100 yards and at 50 yards in the photo which is the distance it was taken at. Previous range outings I blamed the poor clarity on mirage, but yesterday with no shots fired and in the shade I couldn't even pull...

    Hi guys, got myself a burris xtr2 4-20 scr, mounted on a sako tr22. i took it out for the 3rd time today since ownership, and each time I have not been able to get a clear picture or focus no matter which dial settings I adjust (I followed the diopter sticky from the hide as well). Its been...
