    Would you buy this scope?

    Are both those the exposed turret design? If so, are the numbers going to be small/difficult to read for more distinguished gentlemen(old dudes)?

    Low light comparison of 17 scopes

    I’ve done a lot of low light comparisons and came to the same conclusion that the majority of scopes (even down the 32mm obj) have good enough light gathering that being able to see the reticle and aim is the limiting factor. Something weird I have notice on more than one occasion is that SFP...

    Rifle scopes you'd love to see Form test

    VX6 Gen2 with Mil Turrets and a TMR Firedot would be a sweet scope, but unfortunately will never happen. FFP would be nice but even less likely to happen.

    Would you buy this scope?

    I'm guessing it's either a 2.5-15 or 3-15 model that's had the magnification limited for some practical reason.

    Would you buy this scope?

    Really curious to see what this scope ends up being. 3-14 is a very odd magnification range.

    Any info on Apex Optics?

    Optical sample variation seems to be a common complaint with scops made by the manufacturer Apex uses (JOL). Some people report amazing glass and others terrible from the same model. I think I've only seen one scope made by JOL and it was horrible, no where near the price that model was...

    Have you ever unintentionally dialed your scope on a hunt or otherwise?

    Never elevation but multiple times with windage. My issue is I never dial for wind so always just assume it's not been moved, I try to check frequently that it's zeroed but have been bitten multiple times in competitions. I know only use (where possible) capped windage scopes, or atleast...

    Would you buy this scope?

    If we are making predictions. It'll be a LOW made scope through another company, maybe a Bushnell LRHS2 but I've heard Bushy is very difficult to work with and has a lot of issues with CS so it's probably more likely to be Trijicon. I'm guessing it won't be a 3-12 unless it's from Bushy, if...

    Would you buy this scope?

    If it’s in NZ and you want to sell it/lease it/lend it, let me know. I’ve been looking out for one for a while.

    SWFA website updated; More to come in 2024

    I've used a huge variety of cargo/mail companies. By far the best ones I've ever used are Royal mail (UK) and DHL. DHL is ridiculously fast and their tracking is great, Royal mail is often dirt cheap and while international tracking isn't always the best they are also very quick. FedEx is...

    Would you buy this scope?

    If it's not cerakoted Rokslide green or MAGA red then I'm not interested.

    Would you buy this scope?

    I was just pointing out they exist. I don't dial for windage, my preference is 100% capped, I can live with locking but exposed is just a liability.

    Would you buy this scope?

    They do exist, only let's you dial a certain amount in each direction. Zero stop isn't really the right name for it, more like a revolution limiter.

    Tall enough tripod

    Any of the full size RRS tripods will be tall enough. The Leofoto non-LS 364 series tripods are all pretty tall also.

    Vortex Viper 2.5-10x44 vs Nightforce SHV 3-10x42

    I've never seen that 2.5-10x44, but I'd heard that the glass was generally not very well regarded. The 2.5-10x32 however was meant to be the best in the PST G1 range. I've got one of these and think the glass is pretty darn good.
