    is there a 4-16 scope that is comparable to the Strike Eagle?

    Right now you can find far superior scopes in the approximately $700-$800 range: The Crimson Trace Series 5/Series 3 and Bushnell DMR II closeouts at Midway are a good example. Personally, I really like the Sightmark Pinnacle 3-18x44. It's made by LOW in Japan and can be had for $799 directly...

    Suggestions for new optic

    The CT Series 3 1-5x24 FFP is also on sale for $349.48: https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1020619158?pid=571999 I'm considering it for a budget 16" 300 Blackout build that I was going to put a Burris RT-6 on. I've had the RT-6 for awhile and it has never been mounted on a rifle. I'm considering...

    Suggestions for new optic

    I just ordered one of these Crimson Trace Series 5 1-8x28 scopes: https://www.midwayusa.com/product/102061946?pid=587565 I have no idea if CT is exiting the market or closing out pending updates to their designs, but these prices are very good for a Japanese 1-8x with 34mm tube.

    Did that Pinnacle 3-18x review ever happen?

    I have a couple of PST Gen 2 5-25x scopes on PD rifles. EO has a good deal on the EBR-2C models: MOA version $749.99: https://www.eurooptic.com/Vortex-Viper-PST-5-25x50-EBR-2C-MOA-PST-5255.aspx MRAD version at $699.99: https://www.eurooptic.com/Vortex-Viper-PST-5-25x50-EBR-2C-MRAD-PST-5258.aspx

    Rifle Scopes How much more to remove the cheap?

    This is really how a $100-$200 hunting scope is intended to be used. I have a Cabela's special Burris E1 with 30mm tube that I got for $150 and it's perfectly serviceable if you don't expect to spin turrets and hunt within the MPBR of the cartridge.

    Rifle Scopes Best low to mid-priced FFP Scope for 22 rifle

    I have a Pinnacle 5-30x (paid $799) and a 3-18x (ended up paying about $450) that I bought new. I just ordered a second NIB 3-18x for $799. Highly underrated scopes since people associate the brand with PRC junk. But the Pinnacle is a steal for a LOW-made optic if you look hard enough. Minimum...

    Night Vision Buyer Beware, Night Vison Inc. and USPS! ###UPDATE###

    Was the package sent to you signature required? If not, then your beef is not with the USPS. They are fully authorized to release a package without signature if the shipper has not paid for signature service. Now if a signature was required, you need to report the fraud or theft, as the case...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell XRS2 and DMR2 for a steal on Midway

    I have a Cronus BTR and an XTR2. I prefer the glass in the XTR2 to that in the Cronus, and I paid more for the Cronus. And having an LRTS and LRHS, I think you must be thinking about a different optic.

    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST Gen 1 vs ........

    A few quick options in that price range (if you want to buy new): 1. For about $100 more you can get a Gen 2 Sig Tango 4 4-16x44 with a Dev-L MRAD reticle (Model # SOT46114 ). It's optically superior to a Gen 1 PST, has a proper zero stop (as opposed to shims in the PST), and the tree reticle...

    Which light weight 308 barrel should I get, BSF carbon fiber or Faxon pencil?

    For a real world battle or hunting rifle, a pencil barrel is not going to open up so much as to be inaccurate for the purpose. My AR10 was built to be a hunting rifle so I chose a 20" Faxon pencil barrel. Never had any accuracy issues in that role. That said, a Faxon Gunner would be my choice...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell XRS2 and DMR2 for a steal on Midway

    The only time I've ever seen XRS2 and DMR2 prices this low was when Bushnell had their direct sale back in June 2019. I picked up a Illuminated G3 XRS2 for $1257.99 shipped. If I had a present need for anything else at Midway I'd be all over this.

    Rifle Scopes Vector Optics 34mm Continental 5-30x56mm FFP with VCT-20 Reticle

    I never said that the Chinese can't make good stuff, they certainly are capable of doing so when motivated by a company that insists that they step up the QA game (e.g. Athlon). The issue for me was that it appeared that you might be shilling for a product out of left field and that was quite...

    Rifle Scopes Vector Optics 34mm Continental 5-30x56mm FFP with VCT-20 Reticle

    Although I know that Chinese optics of late can be very good, I really am suspicious about your post. I'll save the debate on whether we should be supporting the PLA through our scope purchases for another day, but I must ask if you have any direct or indirect connection with either Vector or...
