Falcon Scopes

[coolluke01]

I'm in the never ending search for a scope. I have read everything I can find (including the scope sticky) and have come up with a list of must haves.

FFP. This is a must as I would like to range at all power levels.

Mil dot/line. I prefer dot + .05 hash.

Mil turrets. I can't imagine trying to deal with Mil and MOA.

And of course I don't want to spend any money! lol

I will be shooting .223 AR 15 at 500 yards at paper and steel. But I also want to be able to hunt prairie dogs. I would like to at least try 1000 yards and work on that some.

I would like name brands (who wouldn't) but I will never be spending $1000+ on a scope.

Millet had some that looked interesting but didn't have a FFP that I could find.

I just ran across Falcon. Anyone have any experience with these?
Specifically the 5.5-25X50FFP http://www.falconoptics.com/5.5-25x50FFP.php

This is the first cheap scope I've found that meets all my needs.

Turret stops would be nice but I don't think I'll have any need for that.

I will also say that I would like to buy enough scope for a future .308 gun I plan on owning. That future gun will most likely fit this scope better than the current AR 15.

Ive heard some people have problems with them but a lot of people seem to be happy.

If you can extend your budget a little there are several nice FFP scopes around 700 bucks from Weaver, SWAF-SS and I think Vortex.

I was just looking at vortex. I can't find any that are mil/mil. Most everything has MOA turrets.

How do capped turrets work? Can they be adjusted by hand after you remove the cap? I'm always loosing caps.

You probably arent looking at their tactical models. Look at the Viper PSTs.

They come in mil and moa

I see them now. But at $950 for the FFP, that kinda out of range for what I wan't to spend.

Anyone with personal experience with the Falcon Scopes?
