    Rifle Scopes FYI - Athlon Ares ETR 1-10x28!

    PA has said pricing will be consistent with current GLx prices. So the $699-$799 range, perhaps slightly more.

    Rifle Scopes Japan Optics LTD any good? Their scopes are being blown out

    I wouldn't be surprised to find that the Geissele 1-6x26 is made at JOL as well. The .2 MRAD adjustments are consistent. As for the new CT Philippines lineup, is there any word on whether they are using Scopro or Kenko? If I had to wager I'd say Kenko since I see some similarity to Sightron...

    Rifle Scopes Japan Optics LTD any good? Their scopes are being blown out

    The throw levers are actually pretty good in my opinion...I like how low profile they are. It would have been nice if they included them with the scopes or if they'd come out with a 2nd Gen that integrates them. The 1-6x TMD reticle worked reasonably well for a FFP scope, but I do prefer the...

    Rifle Scopes Japan Optics LTD any good? Their scopes are being blown out

    I didn't care for the Sightmark Pinnacle LPVO. The build quality and glass are typical LOW/excellent, but the FOV was way too narrow at 1x. I really wanted to like it, but I just couldn't. Also, its illumination is nowhere near daylight bright if that matters to you. I returned the one I...

    Rifle Scopes Japan Optics LTD any good? Their scopes are being blown out

    I bought one of each and I actually like the 1-5x a bit better due to the brighter reticle and slightly wider FOV on 1x. But I still very much like the 1-8x as well. The 1-8x has much better turrets. To my eyes the ED glass is the same in each. Right now, the 1-5x for $350 is the best value...

    Rifle Scopes SHOT Show 2021 Rumor Mill and What's Coming

    Found this posted on Arfcom. A new 1-10x24 from Primary Arms. Made in Japan (I'm assuming JOL)...

    6mm ARC Short stroking

    Yours is not the first time I've seen this reported with Odin's Tunable Gas Block that is included with their barrels.

    1-8 Brownells MPO

    https://www.bereli.com/riton-x7-tactix-1-8-28/ They had a 10% off coupon last week (Riton10) too, but that expired last week. $599 is still a good price. Same vendor is selling it on Amazon for $699...the extra must be to pay Bezos his cut.

    1-8 Brownells MPO

    That's surprising to hear. Maybe I got lucky, but my example that I just received from Midway two weeks ago doesn't really exhibit any more distortion than I see with some of my other LPVOs. I find the Burris RT-6 has considerably more 1x distortion. On the Burris, I even sent it in to them to...

    1-8 Brownells MPO

    Interesting, what were your issues? My experience with the CT 5 Series 1-8x28 has been generally positive for the current closeout price.

    Adjustable BCG vs Adjustable Gas Block

    I have the Rubber City and the 2A Armament adjustable BCGs. The Rubber City is functional but a pain to adjust when you have to remove it each time. The 2A is a joy. I prefer it to the Bootleg since it has a wider range of adjustment: https://www.2a-arms.com/category-s/200.htm

    1-8 Brownells MPO

    I don't have the Riton but their website says the X7 Tactic has ED glass. You can get that Riton for $599 right now.

    Rifle Scopes Which 3-x scope for SPR - MPO, ETR, LRHS, PSTII, Optika6, other?

    I have the 3-12x LRTSi on an 223 Wylde SPR build as well. It's really about perfect in that role. The only reason I didn't suggest that he track down a used one is that he is eventually going to re-barrel to 6mm ARC. A 3-15x or 3-18x will serve him better down the road.

    Rifle Scopes Which 3-x scope for SPR - MPO, ETR, LRHS, PSTII, Optika6, other?

    I'd put it optically well ahead of the Bushnell LRHS/LRTS and my Gen 1 Tango 6. I think it compares very favorably to my XRS2 and Cronus BTR. I also have a Pinnacle 5-30x and the 3-18x is better optically.

    Rifle Scopes Which 3-x scope for SPR - MPO, ETR, LRHS, PSTII, Optika6, other?

    PSTs have always been made in the Philippines.

    Rifle Scopes Which 3-x scope for SPR - MPO, ETR, LRHS, PSTII, Optika6, other?

    I've said it before, don't forget the Sightmark Pinnacle 3-18x44. Made in Japan by LOW. I now have two of them. I wouldn't own any other Sightmark outside of the Pinnacle line (excluding the TMD 1-6x...FOV is too narrow on that one). The 3-18x is $799 right now...

    Thoughts on Magpul PRS Lite?

    It's not a horrible stock, but something about it looks and feels rather cheap to me. I think the spacers are part of the problem. I didn't like the stock butt pad so I installed the available extended pad which is a bit more comfortable. But again, it makes it look even more cheap. No QD...

    Thoughts on Magpul PRS Lite?

    Interested. I have a 18" Grendel Middy with a carbine receiver extension that has a Strike Fixed Modular Stock that I've never really been pleased with. A Gen 3 PRS is just too heavy for the build and nothing else has interested me. Except that it's not designed for A2 receiver extensions...

    1-8 Brownells MPO

    As noted by SageRatSafaris, it has been well established that the Brownells' MPO line is made by JOL and not LOW. The new 1-8x shares design features with other JOL LPVO designs so that is consistent with Brownells other MPO scopes. As for street prices, Brownells really doesn't do them with...

    USO TS-20X VS Ares ETR

    The XRSII blows away the DMR2. I think you'll be very happy with it.
