If you do all of your shooting at 50M and beyond that’s OK but for the closer shots inside of 50M you’ll need to dial the magnification down to keep the image somewhat in-focus and you will have some amount of…Read more

Unfortunately, good glass is usually contagious. Buy one really good scope for your favorite rifle and suddenly you’re not happy with all your other scopes on your other rifles and you start figuring out how to upgrade them. At least that’s how it…Read more

If you want lightweight, good glass, and the kicker, 10-15Y parallax, all in one package… that makes…Read more

Previously had a Bushnell 3-12 x 44 FFP G2DMR on it.

I’ve had NF & USO in the past on other rifles. Was satisfied with NF, didn’t care much for USO as they were big & clunky IMO but I do like their “made to order” system. May pick up a Nightforce BEAST in mil/mil to compare to my S&B 5-25s. Haven’t owned…Read more

Decided I strongly preferred quality over quantity so I sold off guns that had overlapping purposes and also sold those “back of the safe” guns that were purchased on a whim but never or rarely shot and slimmed down to only my favorites that I used frequently. I sold…Read more

The air rifle mode was the main reason I upgraded to the V3 but the V3 also has an…Read more
