Huskemaw.I know a guy who's sponsored by them and got to take a peek though his. Turrets are great, reticle is good, definitely needs a throw lever, especially in the cold. Seems great. Find me a bad scope for more than $1800.
I believe that for the folks that they selected for their shooting team, they gave them an opportunity to exit out of deal within 30 days of receiving the optic.Problem with them that I see so far, without ever even handling one, is that the only people I know with one are those on their shooting team. Which means the opinions of people with them are completely useless. And they have assembled quite the “shooting team” before most have even seen one. Sorry but I will never value the opinion of a sponsored shooter (not trying to offend, but whether you admit it or not, their opinion is skewed).
Would love to know the opinion of actual customers who’ve bought one and got some time behind it.
The company does seem to be out at matches and getting shooter wants and feedback (so I’ve heard), so that’s a good sign. Would be very curious to handle one and see what the hype is all about.
Ty sir for all the info. I'll look at black hound scopes. I had an athlon cronus and lived the reticle. Now i have nx8 4-32x50 and think the center dot is to big imo
Wow, don't believe everything you read on the internet folks.Buy the Blackhound version of this scope for half the price next time they have a 45% off or 55% off sale for around $900.00. Maybe next sale might be even cheaper. Trend was January 2023 45% off then May 55% off. Riton owns Blackhound and they are also known to sell for half price or less like their Riton X7 Conquer version of this scope for $649.99. Allade at Japan Optical JOL.
A reviewer had the Blackhound version and Apex Rival at the same time and swore they were identical scopes.
I'd personally feel really sick after knowing how insanely marked up they really are while the other brand labels of this same scope sells them for less than half the price.
The $1979.00 Riton X7 Conquer version ($649.99 last recent sale at Scopelist and EuroOptic) has already proven to be unreliable.
Yup the Japan JOL made Riton X7 Conquer 4-32x56 version (that brand's top of the line $1979.00 flagship) was indeed recently on sale for $649.99 at EuroOptic and Scopelist. They show out of stock and backorder ok.Wow, don't believe everything you read on the internet folks.
Go ahead and buy something for $650 then, go nuts. LOL
The reviewer isn't anonymous. He goes by Epic Arms formerly known as Affordable Optics and rifle reviews. He had both the Apex Rival and Blackhound 4-32x56 version at the same time and swore they were literally identical.You might want to do a little more research before trusting an anonymous reviewer.
You should order the Blackhound version next time it goes on half price sale and also buy the Apex Rival at the same time since it seems as though they have a money back guarantee and see for yourself if they're the same scope just for kicks that's what I'd do if I were in the market for a JOL made scope which I refuse to buy (not even the $649.99 Riton X7 Conquer version) due to reliability concerns and prefer LOW manufactured scopes. I'd rather buy more Chinese made Athlon Ares BTR Gen 2 4.5-27x50s for $565.49 from Walmart online instead of a JOL made scope at any price. I already own a Nightforce NX8 4-32x50 then bought my first Athlon Ares BTR 4.5-27x50 and after comparing the Athlon to the NX8, I bought two more Ares BTRs instead of another NF NX8 if that alone says anything and I paid way more than the current $565.49 for each of them.Ty sir for all the info.

The issue there is that dude is bought and paid for. His reviews aren’t 100% honest and he’s not shooter. He’s just trying to make money and get free shit. He has a pretty crappy name in Canada from the suppliers and dealers forThe reviewer isn't anonymous. He goes by Epic Arms formerly known as Affordable Optics and rifle reviews. He had both the Apex Rival and Blackhound 4-32x56 version at the same time and swore they were literally identical.
I'd sure like to see an actual non sponsored long term review of this scope by someone who bought it full price with his or her own money.I've got an Apex Rival and I really like it. Glass is as good or better than my Cronus gen 2.
The Reticle is simple and easy to use.
Throw Lever and sunshade included is great, I like to add those options.
Diopter is very easy to get dialed in.
eyebox is forgiving.
Couple little things for me I wish the indicator mark for turret was just a line instead of a triangle. would make turrets easier to read.
The second rev indicator starts to come up 0.5 mil early.
The clicks are good but not amazing could be more definitive, if you are going slow they are very good but if you crank on it fast is when they feel weird. I like click on the Cronus gen 2 better.
I believe most of my qualms would be rectified by 10 mil/rev turrets which they said they should be releasing later this year.
I'd sure like to see an actual non sponsored long term review of this scope by someone who bought it full price with his or her own money.
Ya that's about the best I can do and I did pay for it. I'm not into video editing. I'd say you won't be disappointed, personally I'd wait for the 10 Mil version which I will likely buy when it comes out.^ sounds like you just did
