Rifle Scopes Anyone running a Revic yet?

[MarinePMI]

I was wondering if anyone was running a Revic scope yet, and could describe the optical quality of it. Is it on par with a Razor Gen II?

I saw Frank's short video on it, but recall that there were a few changes since then, so he hadn't done a detailed review on it.

Been eyeballing it and the ZCO scopes, and it got me curious.

Appreciate any info you guys might be able to offer up...

I've seen at least one revic posted on facebook that wasn't a review setup.

I had the opportunity to look through one during the Harrisburg NRA show. Glass was awesome, but unfortunately was not able to compare against other scopes. The ballistic and app calculations were impressive as was the price for all of the features. Not sure it was my cup of tea, but I believe it will be useful for some.

I have one, very very nice optic exceptional costumer service, simple to use. Ballistics are on and match my Kestral. When you order one let them know your a lefty (if aplies) and they'll move the battery to the right for ya. Only complaint is 20 MOA base won't get to 100yds with it on a 308 150 grain @ 2830fps...so I ordered a Spuhr with 20.6 so it should be good

Sorry 1000yds ......

Sorry 1000yds ......

Curious...How much elevation does yours have left after a 100 yd zero and a 20 moa base?

I have 32.5 MOA left

It's a really nice scope I do like it a lot and it functions as a scope should so as long as your keeping data if the battery dies you'll be ok

I have one as of yesterday. Just mounted it last night and played with settings and uploaded a profile. Will shoot it and test when weather gets better in PA. Impressed so far with quality and their APP.

Ok, thanks. Trying to reconcile why just 32.5 left.

It specs out at 85 MOA total elevation. So on a 0 MOA flat rail, you ought to have 42 ish (1/2 of the total adj range) left. On a 20 MOA rail that ought to put you with 62.5 left to use for elevation. 8 MOA is the largest bore alignment disparity ive seen in my rifles to obtain a 100 yd zero. Ready to learn here...did the last optic on the gun have a similar elevation issue like this? Does the/your Revic have 85 MOA total elevation available in it...or is that a placeholder marketing spec? Thanks.

No sir I've actually never had this issue with any other scope not even back when I ran the old Mark 4 moons ago the scope does have the 85 total MOA of travel but it takes 53 of them to get it zeroed at a 100 yds I did call them and ask him if I had missed something or done something wrong and as nice as The gentleman was he really didn't have an answer other than zeroing at a farther distance. I don't know why I don't have enough travel my scope height is 2.3 and I haven't done anything different with this setup so I really don't know like I said earlier I'm just going to add a mount that has MOA built in

My scope actually has 88.2 MOA travel I just recounted it

Hmmm, I just did a very quick 100 yard sight in because of the weather on mine. Running Hornady 6.5 CM 140 ELDM'S @ 2,700 FPS on a 20 rail and I get approx. 50 MOA of elevation left?

That is good to know, thank you, I will put it on a different rifle and see if I get different results also I have not messed with the zero stop yet so I will experiment with it to see if there's something going on in there I wouldn't think but who knows I pulled it straight out of the box and put it on and zeroed it

 

[Jeffd]

Welcome. After running several ballistic calculations, I have decided to add a 20 MOA scope base to the 20 MOA rail as I don't want to be at the top of the travel shooting long distance.

I'm thinking this scope in Mil and with a tree reticle for holdover stages would be awesome at UKD matches like Steel Safari. My thought process is it would eliminate a step of referencing dope and allow more time to re-find targets once you are in position. Does that make sense?
