    Rifle Scopes Scope recommendation

    For a minute I was about to run in and tell my wife I'd found what I want for my 50th birthday on Monday. Then you guys burst my bubble. :)

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Defender Caps for Athlon Cronus

    My Vortex Defender caps fit perfectly fine on my Cronus. O-56 for the objective (on the Cronus sunshade) and E-10 for the eyepiece. They've been on there for a few months and are still solid. I've noticed on other optics that the Defender caps do tend to get loose over time, even on Vortex...

    MDT Oryx Chassis

    I see now that Savage SA is now listed as an option. It's fantastic that MDT/Oryx is listening to its customer base. I've been very happy with my BRN-1/Howa Mini Grendel and just received an HS3 today for my Howa 1500 SA .223. I wonder if the Oryx has a way to attach a pic rail to the stock...

    Rifle Scopes Lvpo in lowlight conditions

    Which SMRS version is that? Bushnell has made so many versions...capped vs uncapped turrets, BTR-1 vs BTR-2 reticle (and now QC BCD), FFP vs SFP. I have the ET1626 and love the SFP BTR-2 reticle.

    Rifle Scopes Nikon FX1000 vs. Sig Sauer Tango4

    I had an FX-1000 4-16x that was returned due to turret issues. Very nice glass though and the zero stop is a better design. I had a Tango 4 3-12x that gave me problems and had to be sent in for warranty work twice. That said, Sig has been awesome too deal with and is making it right in a big...

    Rifle Scopes Best low-power AR scope

    This^. They are easily found new around $280 if you search by UPC Code: 000381004727. Midway also has refurb models for $269.99. It's a decent starter LPVO that easily outclasses the Strike Eagle or PA or other Optisan options. The build quality seems as good if not better than the Gen II PST...

    Rifle Scopes Need help identifying this mount...

    Interesting. Looks like a one piece version of Hawkins Precision or Steiner T-series rings.

    Rifle Scopes Riton?

    I've thought they looked like overpriced versions of Bushnell's AR Optics line. For example, the 2-7x32 models appear to have similar construction and the same BDC reticle: https://www.ritonoptics.com/product/rt-s-mod-3-gen2-2-7x32/...

    Rifle Scopes SightMark Citadel 5-30x56 LR2 Riflescope SM13040LR2: a running review

    The Pinnacle is definitely a LOW optic. The Citadel is made in China.

    Rifle Scopes SightMark Citadel 5-30x56 LR2 Riflescope SM13040LR2: a running review

    The last few Sightmarks have looked pretty decent, especially the Pinnacle series. This Citadel looks to me like it's from the Hi-Lux/Leatherwood assembly line and also bears a striking resemblance to the new Primary Arms 3-18 series.

    Rifle Scopes LPVO with best 1x performance?

    What were your impressions of the Bushnell SMRS? I was about to get the P4Xi but the found that I could get at an SMRS II 1-6.5x for about $120 more than the P4Xi's street price.

    Rifle Scopes Supposedly NIB Scope (Cronus BTR) with signs of prior use...Would you send it back?

    Yeah, I'm fine about it this morning. I'm going to give the scope a once over in the daylight this afternoon and if all seems fine I'll keep it. Otherwise I'll just ask for a straight exchange. This makes sense and I appreciate your feedback. The "signs" I posted weren't complaints as some...

    Rifle Scopes Supposedly NIB Scope (Cronus BTR) with signs of prior use...Would you send it back?

    Nobody said anything about the scope being junk...not sure where you get that. It's in fact a quite nice bit of kit.

    Rifle Scopes Supposedly NIB Scope (Cronus BTR) with signs of prior use...Would you send it back?

    EDIT: Actually, let me address this. I've ordered in my life probably three dozen scopes, with half of those having parallax adjustment. This is the first time I've had one arrive where the adjustment was not set to an identifiable value. Now that may not be dispositive of the condition, but my...

    Rifle Scopes Supposedly NIB Scope (Cronus BTR) with signs of prior use...Would you send it back?

    There is no serial number on the box. I'm not sure if Athlon puts one on the box itself.

    Rifle Scopes Supposedly NIB Scope (Cronus BTR) with signs of prior use...Would you send it back?

    I tend to spot even the most minor imperfection; drives my wife crazy but it serves me well in my profession. This was a bit surprising but I'm inclined to agree with you and just deal with it. It was a bit more crusty than fingerprints...looked a bit like snot to be honest. :) I purchased...

    I already know how to knit. God bless you.

    Rifle Scopes Supposedly NIB Scope (Cronus BTR) with signs of prior use...Would you send it back?

    I ordered a new Cronus BTR and it arrived today. Upon opening it, indications are that this is either a customer return or had been opened as a store demo. Signs of prior use include: the parallax adjustment was not set to a marked value but was set between 50 and 70; the diopter adjustment...
