    Maven RS.5 4-24x50mm SFP Field Evaluation Q&A

    Most dudes think nothing of re-zeroing a rifle, and think it’s normal. They certainly don’t think of it as a scope failure.

    Trijicon 2.5-15x42mm Credo HX SFP Field Evaluation Q&A

    I’ve never had a scope slip using 20. 15-16 you are asking for slip. The only way I see a manufacturer recommendation that low, is because their tube is super thin. No other reason for it.

    Q&A for Minox ZP5 5-25x56mm THLR scope

    The more I look at the THLR reticle, the more I like it.

    Rifle scopes you'd love to see Form test

    Denial is a powerful thing. $$$ invested in something can cloud one’s judgement pretty easily.

    Vortex Razor HD LHT 4.5-22x50mm Q&A

    Did anyone really expect Vortex to come out and say that their scopes aren’t designed to not shift zero after a padded mat drop?

    Barnes VOR-TX Good or bad?

    Yes. Shoots great. The older pre Sierra ownership used Ruag brass, and now they use Norma brass. Availability is spotty though.

    Accuracy tanked.

    First thing I would do is clean it. Not that it needs it, or thats the problem, but it’s an easy step. If no change, then mount a known good scope on it.

    Nightforce 2.5-10x32 capped turret changed to zero stop suggestions

    I don’t think Nightforce is doing used scope work right now. I wanted a reticle swapped, and its a no go.

    Rifle scopes you'd love to see Form test

    The nxs compacts are what you are looking for. Too bad all of the reticles except mil-r, and moar are discontinued. An Np-1 reticle would be about perfect.

    Rifle scopes you'd love to see Form test

    If $2k+ scopes are pretty fragile, there is probably no hope for the lower priced stuff.

    Rifle scopes you'd love to see Form test

    That’s one of the most fragile scopes there is. A lot of them come fubar right out of the box. I have seen this firsthand, and it seems the newer the scope, the quicker it wil fail.

    Rifle scopes you'd love to see Form test

    Yep. At their lower weight, I’d expect them to do poor, but they really don’t have much bad feedback.

    Barnes bullets without "X" on base

    I just went through my barnes stash, and see what you mean about the revision. It’s next to the bar code. Only 2 boxes had the revision. 7/19, and 7/20. The bullets have no x. 110 ttsx 30 cal, and 6.5 127 Lrx.

    Barnes bullets without "X" on base

    Do you have a pic of the rev sticker. I’ve never seen a white sticker on a box of barnes. Even new 2021 bullets.

    Barnes bullets without "X" on base

    Lrx also do. I’ve never seen a Ttsx/Lrx without the x. Tsx on the other hand, have no X.

    Maven RS.5 4-24x50mm SFP Field Evaluation Q&A

    Yes. As long as sales are strong, why change things up.

    Maven RS.5 4-24x50mm SFP Field Evaluation Q&A

    I’m not saying they do this on purpose. It’s simply a “good enough” attitude. That’s why nothing ever changes with respect to reliability, and most likely won’t. Even after these tests.

    Maven RS.5 4-24x50mm SFP Field Evaluation Q&A

    I don’t think the company thinks it magically happens. I think that there are enough gullible people who believe scopes should hold zero, since that is their primary function. Companies know marketing is all you need to fool most people. This is a $1400 scope for goodness sake.

    Maven RS.5 4-24x50mm SFP Field Evaluation Q&A

    It’s amazing how fragile some scopes are.

    Barrett Fieldcraft 7mm-08 21” unfired

    When it comes to 6# guns, most people will just buy a tikka. CA has had their own issues, so that one is up in the air.
