Horus warranty length (brevity?)

[west_texas308]

First post. Great site!

Considering Raptor for my Remington 700 varmint 5R. Understand warranty to be limited to one year...kinda skimpy IMHO for an $800+ scope.

Your input appreciated.

Re: Horus warranty length (brevity?)

Since you are new, you should run a search on HORUS and WARRANTY or similar terms. There is a ton of information already on the forums re: Horus scopes, reviews, issues, etc. They have been covered at length. The reviews are pretty mixed, but in short, the Horus reticles are great...the scopes aren't the best considering the price tag. Worse yet, when problems do arise with the scopes, the service is less than great.

Try the Google-based forum search and you should get a ton of useful info:

Wait till june. Get a vortex viper PST. For around the same price point, you can get an illuminated FFP scope. its not a USO but a great choice with lifetime no-BS warranty.

Depending on your budget - get a Nightforce if you can .... they are a mid-priced GREAT optic. Ask Alex to assist you: http://www.eurooptic.com/ (don't forget about his used page - some good deals as well ...)

If your goal is to find the cheapest way to get into a Horus reticle, then a Horus scope is the way to go.

If your goal is to get the best scope you can for $800, but are less concerned with the reticle, then there are much better options.

Thanks all. Reticle is 1st priority so I'll take Odball's advice and check out the Vortex.

Which reticle is 1st priority? The Viper is not available with a Horus reticle.

You are correct 19scout77. Got my hopes up for a minute.
Shot Rock River 308 with a Falcon yesterday. Wow! Could hit steels at 200, 300, 400, 500, and 650 without touching a turret.

I'm ready!

You can do that with any mil reticle with 5 mils of marks or more.
