ELR Optic (800-2200 yards) Opinions

[steve123]

Unfortunately there is a reason you don't see these on any ELR guns anymore. They were a tracking nightmare

Uh oh, I didn't know that.

I love my March Genesis 4-40x52. High Master glass is superb and partially because the scope is always optically centered since this scope is external adjust.

Superior IQ to my S&B PM2 5-25 by a good margin.

I have a Genesis 6-60x on one of my .338 rifles and had a Schmidt & Bender 12-50x in an Ivy mount on the other. I much prefer the Genesis over the S&B. I have never had any tracking problems that people talk about with it.

I did just take the S&B off of that rifle and put a US Optics SN-9 on it.

Someone mentioned fugly scopes, here you go.

Good to know, thanks.

I had a friend that owned a 80mm USO SN-9. He mounted it on his 375CT(at the time a wildcat formed from 408) and he could only shoot to a mile with the combo because the scope stopped on the top of the barrel by then.

It needed a higher PIC rail which he couldn't find back 17 years ago so he sold it.

A fun one in scope history!

I had custom rails made by Farrells. They would make them any height I wanted. I haven't run into clearance problems, if I take the sun shade and lens cap off it gives a little more room.

Buy once and only cry once!

This is the biggest lie in competitive shooting. “Buy once and only cry once” turns into “bought another and now time to cry another”

I really like the AMR reticle for ELR type stuff, but it's only available in Khales scopes.
