    Rifle Scopes CZ 455 Scope Base/Rail Recommendations

    I have DIP and EGW on various rifles. Love them both. For the CZ I like the Triggersbyscar rails: https://triggersbyscar.godaddysites.com/?olsPage=products

    Howa 1500 in the Oryx Chassis

    I have a Howa 1500 SA .223 (*24" Heavy Barrel) in a MDT HS3 chassis. I wanted the SA 1500 rather than the Mini since the SA has a longer and thicker barrel . The 1/9 is fine since this rifle is intended for shootin' prairie dogs. I just picked up the XRS II for this rifle but I don't have it...

    This. Of my two Mini Action Grendels, my #6 heavy contour in an MDT BRN-1 chassis has an 4.5-18 LRHSi.

    Got my XRS2 (Illum) and likewise my scope appears new. The box is pristine as well. I'm very satisfied and may get in on the DMR II Pro as well...

    Which reticle do you have on that 5-30x on the .223 AI?

    Rifle Scopes DMR II Pro 3.5-21x50mm

    Got my XRSII (illum) today. I haven't been able to do a direct comparison but out of the box it seems on par with my Cronus BTR. I can't for the life of me find anything that indicates that this is a refurb...no markings on the box, it was fully sealed, and the scope itself appears new. If I...

    Rifle Scopes New Scopes from Brownells?

    That's because it's a "Pre-Order". My point was that they had a 10% coupon on the day I made my post....bringing the Pre-Order price to $900 shipped.

    Rifle Scopes Ares ETR 4.5-30x56 vs Sightmark Pinnacle 5-30x50

    Thanks to everyone who replied. I'm not usually too concerned with resale value since I tend to keep my scopes long term and re-purpose them as I buy/build new rifles. The eyebox is a concern however. Was that the refurb Pinnacle? I've seen them that low but they only come with a 90-day...

    Rifle Scopes Kudos to Vortex

    I had a similar experience with a PST Gen 2 1-6x a few weeks ago. Illumination dial was wonky and I expected to receive the repaired scope. Instead I got a brand new scope that, to my eyes, has better glass with less distortion than the one I sent in. I was very impressed.

    Thanks. I went ahead and ordered the XRS II illuminated G3.

    Rifle Scopes GA Precision: Bushnell Elite Tac. Scope w/ Kestrel Deal

    Spife, did you get the H59 or G3? I also can't decide if the illuminated XRS2 model would be a detriment.

    Rifle Scopes Ares ETR 4.5-30x56 vs Sightmark Pinnacle 5-30x50

    Any thoughts now that these are the same price? The Pinnacle appears to be closely following the LOW reference design and the ETR looks GTG as well. I'm inclined to the Japanese Pinnacle but the ETR reviews have me questioning that.

    Rifle Scopes Ordered a Ares BTR 4.5-27 for $549

    I'm torn over this or the PST Gen 2 5-25x for $699 ($760 with tax/shipping). I need something for a prairie dog .223 bolt action. Wondering if the PST Gen 2 is worth $200-$250 more than the Ares BTR.

    Rifle Scopes Tango6 4-24x50mm with Levelplex Thoughts

    Sig looks to be discontinuing the T6 4-24x and they are eliminating the graphite colored versions of everything. The Tango 4 is getting a update, at least the turrets are being redesigned. https://cloud.3dissue.com/184198/184677/215529/2019SIGSAUERCATALOG/index.html They have some closeouts on...

    Rifle Scopes Rimfire Scope Help

    I should clarify that they didn't change the reticle. I sent in the scope with the Accu-Range reticle and they changed the parallax for $25. It was overall still less expensive that a comparable Leupold Rimfire scope at the time.

    Rifle Scopes Rimfire Scope Help

    I'm not seeing the PA ACSS-22LR scopes listed. I see the reticle, but not the 6x or 1-6x scopes. Also note that Leupold will change the parallax on both Leupold and Redfield branded scopes. Two years ago I had Leupold change the parallax on a 2-7x Redfield Revolution with the Accu-Range reticle...

    Rifle Scopes 3 gun ar optic

    Another option is the Bushnell Elite Tactical SMRS 1-6.5x, specifically model ET1626 (SFP; BTR-2 reticle, Mil/Mil, T-Lok turrets). It's made by Low in Japan (like the Razor HD) and was introduced at Shot Show 2017. Bushnell has discontinued this version this year (it seems they have moved away...

    Rifle Scopes Long range hunting scope question/ rant

    The Sig Sauer Whiskey 5 3-15x44 with MOA Milling Hunter reticle is a possibility. Looks like the only negative is the fact that the entire reticle is lit...and maybe the weight.

    I actually appreciate it...it really highlights the profit margins on these things.
