Rifle Scopes FFP with mil/mil adj, and a mil-dot reticle

[Creature]

What are my options for this setup? I know of Falcon Optics but am unsure if they would hold up on a larger caliber rifle(.338 LM).

My budget is around $1700 max and am looking for a variable power optic in the 5.5-22x50/56 to 8.5-25x50 range. Any ideas?

FFP in that magnification range and price point, the only one I can think of is Leupold.

Liberty Optics has the IOR 3-18x 4th gen "Snipers Hide" edition for around $1500

Thanks for the info guys. Does the Leupold com with mil/mil adjustments?

Anyone know if the Falcons are sturdy enough to hold up to prolonged use on a .338LM or .50?

I would call SWFA ,Scott @ Liberty optics or Doug @ Cameraland( hide sponsors) you are very close to the price of the Vortex Razor 5-20.It would make an ideal 338 scope.

No, they do not. Have a look at the SS 3-9. FFP, Mil/Mil, Mildot, $600.

Creature,

Although I have a SH Edition 3-18 IOR, and I like it very much, I second the thought on the new Vortex Razor. It certainly looks hell for stout, and IOR's have had trouble on heavy kickers in the past. And the $ difference is really not that much more.

Best bet is call Scott @ Liberty Optics. He sells both, and can give you first hand advise, and first class service.

Not enough scope to utilize the 338's capabilities.

Well I've been looking at the Razor and it looks like a real good scope. Kind of skeptical with it being new and all but it looks real stout.

I need to get a few things sold before i can afford it, like my AKUSA custom Russian AK-103 package in the EE(hint hint).

So has anyone mounted one of those Falcon Menace scopes on a .50 or .338? How are those scopes? I thought about buying one of those to use for a while until I could buy something nicer.

I belive Falcon states that the largest caliber their scopes can stand up to is a 338LM. But I think someone here had mounted it to a 50, but I forgot what the outcome was.

I don't think they make a 5.5-22x50 FFP scope do they?

I'm looking a lot harder at the Vortex Razor, it really seems to be the way to go being a FFP scope with Mil everything.

Re: FFP with mil/mil adj, and a mil-dot reticle

I aaas in the same spot your in a couple of months ago. I needed a scope for my 338 Norma mag. I started with a budget around 1400. I thought I would get the ior snipers hide 3-18 but was scarred off by the history (this was before the 4th gen). I then could not find anything in my price range. I look at nightforce but I wanted ffp. I then uppedthe budget to get the vortex razor because it had all the features I wanted. Once I realized how much the razor was going to cost with the rings I decide to up the budget again. Few hundred more Nd got a premier 5-25 and could not be happier.
I always figure I am going to spend about twice as much as I plan to. I guess that is why I work for the government.
