    Rifle Scopes Nikon Black FX1000

    Typically in situations where a company is exiting a market entirely, said company will contract to a third-party for warranty repairs (if they don't keep some minimum capability in-house) and also keep some inventory for warranty replacement for a period of time. My understanding is that if...

    Rifle Scopes Nikon Black FX1000

    Not saying that Nikon has a great warranty, but you are only partially correct on the illumination part. Nikon scopes have lifetime for optical components, 7 years for non-optical components, and 1 year on electronics. https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/nikon-warranty-update.6961085/...

    Rifle Scopes The Arken Optics Thread (merged)

    Holy moly, I like it! But I'm afraid that might spook game if you want to dial in the field. :)

    Rifle Scopes To use or not to use glasses while shooting with optics

    ANSI Z71 ain't a thing. Either you are being flippant or you don't know WTF you are talking about. Nobody is over complicating safety by suggesting proper protective equipment. Personally, anyone who doesn't use proper equipment is foolish...I don't give a shit how big their shooting dick is...

    Rifle Scopes To use or not to use glasses while shooting with optics

    This isn't just about Clay's shooting. If that is how you read my reply then you aren't reading closely enough. Notice I said "brass" too. Brass can shatter CR-39 lenses and impact from the side. And tint advantages apply for all types of shooting.

    Rifle Scopes To use or not to use glasses while shooting with optics

    There are risks and disadvantages to using standard prescription glasses: First, standard prescription glasses are typically not going to provide Z87.1 levels of protection. They certainly are not typically going to provide sufficient wrap around protection. The greatest risk in wearing...

    Rifle Scopes Coyote AR Scope

    Another good recommendation. The non-illuminated E1 is what I call a "bright, light and tight" reasonably priced hunting scope...for the $150 they can be had it's a great budget option with a nice etched reticle. I have a non-illuminated 30mm tube E1 on a 16" 6.5 Grendel AR upper used for...

    Rifle Scopes New Vortex Diamondback Tactical FFP Scope. Who has one? Who can order one?

    The original regular Diamondbacks, Diamondback HP (discontinued line), and the Diamondback Tactical models with 1" tubes are made in the Philippines. As you've discovered, the 30mm Diamondback Tacticals are PRC scopes.

    Rifle Scopes Coyote AR Scope

    I have a 3-12x LRTSi on an SPR...nice scope but it's not "very light". It's 28oz.

    Rifle Scopes Coyote AR Scope

    This is what's on my dedicated coyote AR. Midway has them on sale now for $389.99: https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1009581380 I also like the 3-9x Trijicons for a hunting AR. EDIT: I also use an offset Burris Fastfire for shots on critters that pop out in close. I don't like an LPVO for this...

    Rifle Scopes Best Leupold long range scope for 30/06 on a budget

    I really had no idea Leupold had this. I would love to add the zero stop to my VX-R Patrol if compatible. I see they offer a standard mil. version...looks like I'm calling Leupold tomorrow.

    Rifle Scopes Best $400 dollar scope Cabellas Covenant 7 small review.

    Look, I don't want to be a pill, but if you go into a transaction knowing the terms and then want to commit fraud later because you don't like those terms, well that ain't just "kind of dishonest". Besides, I'd wager a guess that the boxes are serialized along with the corresponding scope. Now...

    Rifle Scopes Nikon FX1000 for $379

    I too debated the Arken 6-24x (and it's being offered on eBay so I could have use my gift card). However, for this build the $200 difference wasn't justifiable and I wasn't interested in waiting until the estimated early/middle of February to take delivery.

    Rifle Scopes To use or not to use glasses while shooting with optics

    My eyes started really going bad in 2003 so I finally got glasses (swore I'd never wear contacts) because I started dropping birds in Trap league. I started using prescription sunglasses during the day and prescription glasses at night, but they weren't shooting appropriate. A few years ago I...

    Rifle Scopes Scope mount, on Amazon, for precision trainer

    I have several of the Warne x-skel mounts on ARs, including on my primary 3-gun rifle. They are excellent mounts. That said, the ring height is 1.435", which is meant for an MSR. It may be too high for your rifle.

    Rifle Scopes Dumping of scopes...

    This happens seemingly every year around this time and in the Spring. Some years are better than others, but I don't find this year particularly unusual.
