the age old, less than $1000 scope thread

[shawnb]

Never had an issue dialing and returning to zero with leupolds. Ive used three different pst’s that would not do the same as the leupolds. I do not own the pst’s anymore.

I liked the idea of getting the VX2 with CDS and finding a load my rifle likes then ordering my free CDS from them.

I will say the same thing that I say everytime this comes up- if you are going to dial at all, get a SWFA SS, Nightforce, or Bushnell LRHS.

None of those scopes that you listed will track, adjust, and return to zero reliably. Not even for use at 400 yards.

Maybe you have said this but why the lrhs over others? What have you seen with your testing? I to am in the market for a scooe and i really just cant decide what to go for. The nightforce is nice but they are to heavy and way to expensive here.

Those three lines of scopes are just about the only ones that I/we do not see problems with. They simply work. All of them will be between 19-24oz, as that's just the price to pay for absolute reliability. There is no 14oz scopes made that dials and tracks correctly everytime.

Just buy my Huskemaw Blue Diamond scope 4-16x42 for $900!

What do you think about Huskemaw? Glass? Tracking? etc.... thanks

I think it has ended but bushnell was having a rebate on scopes. I used an optics planet coupon and the rebate and got a lrhs for $760

How about the bushnell DMR scopes? Are they constructed like the LRHS?

Have only seem a few a few of them. One seemed to have issues with RTZ sometimes, but I didn't fire enough rounds to really see.

The DMR/HDMR/XRS/ERS series of Elite Tactical scopes are excellent.

May I ask what business you're associated with (if not a name, then what do you do?) that you run hundreds of thousands of rounds a year? Thanks for your input!

Have you tested any of the Tract Toric scopes?

 

[Rthur]

Something from Bushnell, Vortex or Athlon.
Several reviews available on these by competent men on Sinpershide.com.

I have not. Not much interest in an MOA based scope with those I shoot and work with, and therefore no one has bought any.

form, for a hunting scope what would you pick between the LRHS and Nightforce SHV line. I have expanded my budget a little and am trying to narrow it down still. I plan on using both turrets and reticle. Rifle will be a custom 6.5saum

The LRHS. Mils and reticle.

Any thoughts on the Burris Tactical line of scopes?

Have seen several issues myself, and have heard from dudes that I can trust to know what they are doing have also relayed issues with them.


Would not chose one.
