Deciding on buying a scope for deer hunting this year and I have a lot of great options around $500. But my question is, what is the difference in glass? Most companies have glass made all over the world like Vortex and Burris in the Philippines, Riton and Trijicon made in Japan and China. So...

Hello, I have a Ruger M77 Mark II VLE model that is the same as the rifle shown here;https://www.gunsamerica.com/959974564/RUGER-M77VLE-MKII-LAW-ENFORCMENT-308-CAL-26-BULL-BARREL-BLACK-LAMINATE-NEW.htm I am getting a Vortex Diamondback Tactical 6x24x50 30mm tube that will be replacing the...

Good grief, if there was ever a useless feature on a scope it's a locking turret. I have that feature on a couple of Vortex Razor HD Gen 2 scopes but it's fluff and nothing else. They're great scopes but I could care less about a "feature" that has no real-world benefit. I've dragged scoped...

Hello, everyone! I am a new member here (already posted to the new member thread to introduce myself), but I just wanted to post to get anyone's experiences with specific brands of scopes. I started my AR build with Vortex Sparc AR Red Dot and Vortex Mini 3X Magnifier. Initially, I actually...

Got a good price on a DPMS panther bull LR-308. Looking for an optic. Shooting at medium range, (say 600 m max) paper, not competition. Planning to shoot inexpensive ammo. 1. Price less than $900 or there abouts, looking for mil-dot, MRAD or BDC type reticles 2. Looking at the Trijicon...

I've never intentionally tried jamming bullets into the lands when handloading for rifles but an excellent load development thread by @Nature Boy got me thinking about trying it. I seem to remember he had a tack driver of a load with .020" jam so today I tried .005" and .010" jam using a...

I'm planning on moving to Alaska sometime this summer, hopefully long-term. I've been looking at rifles & such and have settled on a 35 Whelen built on a mauser action. I'm not asking for input on cartridge choice or whatever. I know you can only stop a grizzly with a 50 BMG or, if that...

To give a brief introduction, I am looking to buy a scope for a savage .308, and am planning to shoot at long ranges. Ideally, I'm looking at scopes with max ranges of 16-20. My question is, which company offers better glass, and which have you had better experiences with? Another question I...

anyone have any leads on any new scopes from vortex optics? was planning on getting a viper hs 4-16x44 v-plex but looks like that line of scopes is being discontinued and cant find the v-plex version. heard rumor of new hunting line coming from them in 2016 but no details. if anyone can shed...

Installed a Vortex Viper PST 2.5-10x on my Tikka T3 using a DNZ one-piece. Sadly, the scope is low enough that the brass binds on the windage knob. I have an adjustable height cheek piece so I was probably going to put it a bit higher with a picatinny rail and 30mm rings. Question, which Pic...
