Haven't had a chance to test if it holds zero, but mounts just fine and has nice clear glass. Centered vertically true to a plumb line with the crosshairs which is always a plus!It's a great ruclips.net/user/postUgkxc4K63Fd5LglDMObu7-Bgapxp_ef0W8hE scope. There's no parallax adjustment or focus ring, so may be limited to 3-7x, have to see how it is on the range. Also be aware that the rings are "look through" so you can still use irons, but they are really tall if you only intend to use the optics. On a 22LR no biggie since I'm not shooting competitions or worried about a hard cheek press. Will boresight and range test, if all goes well, I'll leave it at that!
Hi Joe, Wasnt sure the best way to get in touch but new you would like to here maybe my disgust at this Hawke Touch scope and the excuse I got from customer service as to why it happened. Basically the side focus jammed after 2 yes 2 shots from my PCP and others appear to have had the same. Anyway thanks always for your reviews, Ian UK.
I have a Zeiss conquest V6 2-12 as my hunting scope, and a Vortex Diamondback tactical 6-24. I can tell you, the Zeiss is clear, can be used almost untils its black outside and makes identifying animals/birds at long ranges easy. I has no paralax adjustment, but for hunting it does not really matter. the Vortex only works for range work, the eyebox is not great and clarity is not much to brag about. but it works, and i can use it on my 22LR with 15 m paralax. The zeiss is a dedicated hunting scope, and frankly in sweden 99% of the shots are inside 100m. The zeiss was 4 times more expensive, atleast, then the vortex.No wheels or stuff to mess up, aim the scope on the thing u want dead and fire. And with the clarity identifying animal, male, age etc is easy.
@@stricklyreloading8494 Okay, I'm deciding between that and a Trijicon. Mainly, which ones have better glass, also I've heard that Triji likes to keep their production line out of China. Btw, have you heard anything about Zeiss v4's being made in China at all?
@@richpryor9650 these days, a scope being made in China isn’t necessarily a bad thing, depending on the model. I’ve heard really good things about the Ares ETR. TibersaurusRex channel did a great review on it. Not sure about any of the others you mentioned! Hope you give my channel a look!
Love my primary Arms glx scopes !! Glad they made the cut for this video! Got them on Black Friday for less than $500 each and that’s a steal of a deal! Wish we could have more scopes in stock, but guess I’ll have to wait until the world stops being weird!! Good job sir!!
Just when I have my mind made up I stumble across another one of your videos and then the wheels start turning again. I think I'll stick to my original pick, the Riton 7 Conquer 3-18x50 and for this reason only. I currently have a Riton 3 Conquer 3-15x44 and every time one of my buddies who has a $1200+ scope looks through mine they all say the same thing, "no way this is a $600 scope". Keep the videos coming, I enjoy your no bullshit approach.
I understand and appreciate your apprehension about sampling/ testing and evaluating the Extreme/ Elite price level scopes... They're all so good, but they cost the price of some people's cars, and that's a hard pill to swallow for many. Kahles, Schmidt & Bender, Vortex Razor Gen 3's, Zero Compromise, Tangent Theta, Steiner, Zeiss LRP, Leupold Mark Series, Apex Optics etc. Some of these are literally Grail Scopes to many.
Need a new scope for my 308. Considering the primary arms and the tract. I keep hearing about the glass on the tract but the glx is about 500$ cheaper with the same features. Any recommendation?
Nice video. I would have included in the list the Meopta Meostar series (I own the r1 3-12x56) and of course, the Meopta ZD series (I own the 4-16x44 and from my point of view is without any doubt an Alpha scope under 1200€)
Nice job as always... The one that stands out to me (and I own a couple of the ones you mentioned) that's not on your list is the Sightron SIII line. Really nice scopes, excellent quality and amazing glass. They come in a wide range of magnifications up to 50 power in both FFP and SFP and each model comes in a number of different reticle styles.
Another great video Joe. I own most of the scopes on this list. My two favorites are Leupold and Swarovski. My favorite scope not on this list is a Kahles. Thanks for the video!
Great video !!!! Thanks again Mr. Joe !!!! I really love my Meopta Optika6 3-18x56 ffp MRAD. They make everything in house , including their lenses. Great Company 🙂
I own 3 Meoptas and they are tough to beat. One FFP ZD and two SFP Meostar 4-16x44mm. The ZD is 3-12x50mm Tactic and is a 30mm tank made of actual steel. It's an older model designed specifically for 308 Win using a 168 grain Sierra boat-tail. And all of them excell in low light.
I got a Leupold Rifleman that I have had on a break barrel air rifle, my SAM7R ak variant and a .22lr and a 17hmr, It has been treated like a prostitute on the dirty boulevard for a decade now. It still holds zero and I put 10,000+ breakbarrel shots thru it befre someone told me that will destroy it . So I put it on my 22 or my 17 for 5000+ rounds and have a thousand + with it on my ak. It has performed admirably evn after my Malinois knocked them over and even off tables onto concrete . I can send it back and Leupold will refurbish and or replace it for life. I want to send it but it still works fine,it is invaluable to me and its like a 250 dollar optic.. 3-9x40. I wish I could afford a 1000 dollar optic. I will someday soon but i don't think it will give me the same value as my Leupold especially after the way it has been treated and put on a half dozen different rifles from break barrels to 7.62x.39 on an AK. It is on a PCP airgun now. It is the only scope that did not rattle apart from the break barrel air rifle an beast the umarex octane my 150$ Bushnell came apart from it. It might end up being the best scope of my life the way it refuses to die. Love the videos you make thanks
I wanted to tell you because of this video my second scope will be a zeiss!You say their one of the best,and my big sis is a professional photographer and says "zeiss has some of yhe best glass in the world!"Again thankyou for your video and your time and energy spent making these awesome videos!!Have a great day Joe!!
I was a long range precision firearms instructor for 45 yrs. The only scope I found better than the Nightforce is the IOR and no one better to deal with then Val!!! I used Unertl for 35 yrs they were top shelf as well, sadly they are long gone!! Y'all take care, Vern
I have 7 of the golden eagles. Yes 7. lol The only down fall IMO is they don't have a zero stop. Being SFP you can hold crazy small at very long ranges.
Thanks for the reviews Joe! I mean it. Question (sorry to ask again if was covered) ...on your list in this video, which would you buy hands down if you were given $1500? ...and if was your own $1500? Thanks again.
I once sat next to a Swarovski crystal sales rep on an international flight. Yes, she was hot AF too and spoke with an accent. Anyway she gave me a lesson on the pronunciation of Swarovski. “SWAR-OFF- SKI” is the best way to say it.
Hi Joe. If you were to have a choice between a Delta Stryker 4.5-30x56 and The Meopta Optika 6 5-30x56 which would you buy?. I appreciate you may not be able to answer this if you have not tested this Meopta. I would really like you to do a review on this scope also. Many thanks once again for you videos. I love them!. Kris (UK)
I haven't tested that Meopta . But I've seen it in person and shot a rifle with it . Very Impressive Scope !! But the Stryker is my favorite scope in that price range . It's just a perfect package in my eyes
MR CYXLOPS I M ON A FIXED IN COME ITS HARD TO GET THE SCOPE TO PUT ON MY 270 CAL IT HARD TO FIND ONE I CAN A FORD BUT SOME DAY I WILL I DREAM A BOUT THE ONE I WANT KEEP THE GOOD WORK UP I WATCH YOUR VEDIOS EVERY DAY AND NIGHT I AM LEARNING A ;OT FROM YOU
Hey! I have and extra Vortex I might be willing to sell. I upgraded my scope but it is still a great scope. I got a good deal on it and would be happy to give you a good deal on it.
Thank You, another Great informative video. I collect the Ruger MK II Boat PAddles Rifles, needing 2-scopes for these flat shooters. I will research your work. Excellent Timing...
I'm about to purchase the new FX impact 25 Cal I'm looking for a scope in the 550 range maybe 600 if the old lady let's me I plan on using this gun for long range shooting maybe you can help I love moa scope ffp as well 1/4 clicks pls dont make fun of me lol
Thankfully you have guided me to awesome scopes in the past that don’t cost this much. These high dollar scopes must be the shit cause a lot of guys will spend so more for their optics than they do their rifles. Someday maybe I will get to see what all the fuss is about. Thanks for the info about RITON Scopes. The X1 Conquer 6-24X50 is working superbly, and I got it for 179$ It hasn’t missed a beat brother. Great advise, and I am thankful. Take care and God bless.
Damn I've been trying to figure out which scope to put on a Christensen Arms 6.5prc. My budget was 800 to 1200. The Zeiss conquest is at the top of my list. I like to be different. The Tract and the Element scopes are both of great interest. I'm in no big hurry, because I've got a Arken scope on the rifle right now that I'm satisfied with.
I have the Leupold VX3i 4.5-14 LRP with CCH reticle. I've won three Rimfire matches with it. We shoot a 50-225yd match with targets every 25 yards between those distances. Targets are 1"to 4" diamonds. This scope repeats like a SWFA with a great ranging reticle, and better glass. Being able to read the mirage has been so easy, I'm not changing a thing. It's mounted to a custom CZ 452Varmint. Cheers Cyclops!
Anyone watching this, look at the Athlon Ares ETR. Amazing turrets and better glass than the Midas Tac. It is truly an amazing bang for your bucks scope
So I’m new to this page and thought I knew a lot about optics. Boy was I wrong. I’ve had a couple Vortex razors, Vipers, Nightforce and Leupold including my Mark 5 HD. I just bought the Leica amplus 6. Put it next to my razor and mark 5 hd. That Leica is in a whole different ball park. Glass is unbelievable. I thought the others were great until I put it next to the Leica. Also, it’s about 800 cheaper than the razor and mark 5. Wouldn’t have even looked if I hadn’t watched this video.
I'm looking for a scope in this price range. Clarity a low light are my biggest concerns. It will be put on a new mark 5 pro 6.5 rpm. Leica 6 has a new offering at 1400 with illuminated center dot. Anyone have any suggestions for a better scope at that price. Trying to keep the total package below 4k. Thanks
Holy shit , Joe brother you need an exorcist ... that is some freaky ass paranormal activity caught on video at 34 seconds. Better leave some good bourbon/holy water out by the stump . Would make a hell of a good piece offering. Damn thing might be a freak 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@CyclopsJoeVideos Well Son of a bitch... for some reason I thought I saw $500-$1500 at the beginning, not $750. Oh, well.... You're still a One-Eyed-SOB!!! 🤣
Joe, You are the funniest shooter on the planet. Honest and down to earth. At some point could you review what we brits call a peep hole sight (thought that may get your tackle tingling), I think you may call them ghost ring sights. Keith
@@CyclopsJoeVideos it was just thinking out loud. I love your channel. I trust your reviews and I love the attitude you have. The videos you make about the haters always crack me up. Keep up the good work
Good job Cyclops thinks your right on the money it's good to see something better than Ghetto scopes. like Grandpa used to say you get what you pay for.
@@CyclopsJoeVideos I’m really leaning towards Swarovski but i can get a lot more magnification options with other companies is Swarovski with it? Thinking z5 2.4 x12 50 what’s your opinion or the 3.5x18 44 also z5

Which one would be best for a hunting situation at 500 yards max here are my choices: Leupold vx5 HD Swarovski z3 Zeiss conquest v4 Vortex Razor HD LHT
Here's a totally Baddass scope line that i just mounted on my 338 Lapua Magnum, how about a review of Brownell's 5-25x56mm and the 3-18x50mm Match Performance Optic rifle scopes...we need to watch your review.
Obviously doesnt have any schmidt bender. Or steiner or nightforce or leuold gold ring in his collection. When i was only buying cheaper scopes i thought they were great. I have good inexpensive scopes on my.22 rimfires but all of my centerfires have expensive good quality scopes. Are they $1000 or $2000 better than the cheaper scoped. Probably not but they are BETTER.. most of my scopes have $200 camera filters on them to improve contrast and save the front lens from getting damaged or worn. I used to argue my cheap scopes were as good as the expensive ones. In that case i was wrong. Expensive they are but every shot i make costs about a dollar to reload and rifle wear . If i cant see it i cant shoot it
Which would be you use out of all these including all models you've tried since for an Ultralight non magnum hunting rifle build with 600 yard max shooting range and wanting a good low power with a wide field of view for fast accusation 50 yard shots?
Joe you have the best reveiws ,,,I would like for you to check out and reveiw the crimson trace line of scopes,,, I have a 6-24x56 and it is awsome,,,, you should try and get some or 1 for a reveiw,,, stay safe,,, thanks for what you do,,,, as for the ass wipes that give you bad reveiws and rag on your ass,,, well I guess they have never seen a sexy midgit before,,, lmao
I'm sorry... I'm sorry. I have nothing against this man personally...... but I hear his voice and instantly change the channel. I can't stand the terrible reviews. I also have noticed that the tech source are often wrong as well.
Have you ever checked out the crimson Trace line of rifle scopes cuz I have not seen anything from you on this. And if so what is your opinion on the overall quality tracking and durability
In my opinion unless you are a professional assassin getting paid $100,000 a hit, there is no reason to go up to an $8,000.00 scope. I would have a hard time spending over a thousand dollars on a scope.
So many videos I see all have the element nexus in it, I think that’s the one I’m gonna go with. Thanks for the videos man they help me make expensive decisions that I don’t regret later.
nice! thanks joe! i'm calmly taking my time looking for a nice scope for my ptr-91. i'm taking my time (well, cuz i HAVE to lol - cataract surgery), but that will give me time to also get one or two 50 round drums, lol! i like this video, cuz i'm just NOT going to spend $3k for a scope for this rifle. i'm sure i can find something in this price range or even a little cheaper. i really appreciate your vids man!
I really like your presentation about the scopes you test. I’m really interested in the new Steiner Predator 8 scopes. How much better are the 8s vs the 4s?
My head is twisting and the money is ready to fly away😂. I have been looking on Delta Opticals Javelin but … also US Optics wich you have here. I dont think I have the need of 30 times magnification. Hunting mostly but also the range and I need to see the reticle in low magnification Guess my head will keep spinning
Joe, you said you are not a fan of Nightforce. I was wondering why. I have never owned one, but it kind of seems like Nightforce should be my next purchase (until watching this video) even though it's definitely out of my price range. Love your work.
I have owned 2 and both weren't what I would have liked optically. The newer ones are much better for sure . But the two NXS models I owned I sold after a short time because I had better scopes that cost less
Yep, my buddy had a nightforce NXS and I had just purchased a new Weaver super slam euro scope. We took them out to compare them all the way until it was too dark to see. My Weaver super slam was optically much better than the nxs. I don't know if you've ever had any experience with the weaver super slam scopes, but just thought I'd mention it in case you had. The super slam I have is an absolute killer scope. I don't know if all of them were as good, but mine is without a doubt the best scope I've ever owned or looked through.
Haven't had a chance to test if it holds zero, but mounts just fine and has nice clear glass. Centered vertically true to a plumb line with the crosshairs which is always a plus!It's a great ruclips.net/user/postUgkxc4K63Fd5LglDMObu7-Bgapxp_ef0W8hE scope. There's no parallax adjustment or focus ring, so may be limited to 3-7x, have to see how it is on the range. Also be aware that the rings are "look through" so you can still use irons, but they are really tall if you only intend to use the optics. On a 22LR no biggie since I'm not shooting competitions or worried about a hard cheek press. Will boresight and range test, if all goes well, I'll leave it at that!
I have trusted your reviews ever since I found out that you like midgets. I know that you rely on good glass to find them little suckers.
Thanks
LMAO

It's mounted to a custom CZ 452Varmint. Cheers Cyclops!
Anyone watching this, look at the Athlon Ares ETR. Amazing turrets and better glass than the Midas Tac. It is truly an amazing bang for your bucks scope
Another great video Joe!I really liked the eotech vudu but it was too expensive for me,so I got the trijicon,I hope it will be good lol😬
Trijicon if course is a good scope, you should be very happy with that choice
So I’m new to this page and thought I knew a lot about optics. Boy was I wrong. I’ve had a couple Vortex razors, Vipers, Nightforce and Leupold including my Mark 5 HD. I just bought the Leica amplus 6. Put it next to my razor and mark 5 hd. That Leica is in a whole different ball park. Glass is unbelievable. I thought the others were great until I put it next to the Leica. Also, it’s about 800 cheaper than the razor and mark 5. Wouldn’t have even looked if I hadn’t watched this video.
I'm looking for a scope in this price range. Clarity a low light are my biggest concerns. It will be put on a new mark 5 pro 6.5 rpm. Leica 6 has a new offering at 1400 with illuminated center dot. Anyone have any suggestions for a better scope at that price. Trying to keep the total package below 4k. Thanks
Holy shit , Joe brother you need an exorcist ... that is some freaky ass paranormal activity caught on video at 34 seconds. Better leave some good bourbon/holy water out by the stump . Would make a hell of a good piece offering. Damn thing might be a freak 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This One-Eyed-Son-of-a-Bitch left out Arken (hey, you asked for it)..... At the bottom end of this price range, you couldn't ask for a better scope.
They are all below the $750 lowest price . They were for sure on my mid priced scopes
@@CyclopsJoeVideos
Well Son of a bitch... for some reason I thought I saw $500-$1500 at the beginning, not $750. Oh, well.... You're still a One-Eyed-SOB!!! 🤣
'premium' - 'top of the line'
Ever heard of Schmidt & Bender?
Khales? Steiner?
If you need a scope that you can trust your life with -> it's an S&B!
I have . And have owned all 3 . But those are ELITE brands . Not premium
@@CyclopsJoeVideos do you have a video on Elite scopes by chance?
Joe,
You are the funniest shooter on the planet. Honest and down to earth. At some point could you review what we brits call a peep hole sight (thought that may get your tackle tingling), I think you may call them ghost ring sights.
Keith
I was surprised that a Meopta Meopro scope wasn't in the list as Joe has reviewed them so favorably before.
I just haven't tested the new models is the ONLY reason
@@CyclopsJoeVideos it was just thinking out loud. I love your channel. I trust your reviews and I love the attitude you have. The videos you make about the haters always crack me up. Keep up the good work
3/4 of these scopes are all made in the same plants, just a brand ordering it from the same places in Asia
Sig tangos, trijicon accupowers, steiner gs3, and shepherd scopes.
Trijicon is currently updating all there scope line bargains to be had on older stock.
@@aynjeleyes yeah, Ive picked a couple up recently for about half price.
Good job Cyclops thinks your right on the money it's good to see something better than Ghetto scopes. like Grandpa used to say you get what you pay for.
So many choices how do I even choose 1200$ scope budget for tikka 300 win mag…
It’s tough for sure
@@CyclopsJoeVideos I’m really leaning towards Swarovski but i can get a lot more magnification options with other companies is Swarovski with it? Thinking z5 2.4 x12 50 what’s your opinion or the 3.5x18 44 also z5
Are you familiar with Hawke Optics ?
Ha!!! Are you familiar with screwed up the ass?
I am , I like their Vantage series of scopes. But that's about it .
Can you provide a list of scopes made in America?
Here ya go . Leupold assembled here …..US optics assembled here ….list complete
Great Video ...Kind Out Of My Price Range On Some... But You Never Know...But Thanks ...Just In Case...
I recently bought a new Athlon Midas Tac!! Fucken love it!! Super clear! Amazing tracking! And Zero stop!! The turrents are orgasmic....
These are not "premium" most of these are Chinese junk
Depends on your budget
$1500 doesn't even scratch the top end of optics
True
Підскажіть мені будь ласка . Зараз дуже багато оптичних прицілів. Мені потрібен приціл який буде тримати віддачу великих калібрів а ткож ппп пневматики . я з україни , і я поважаю вашу думку . Бадь ласка , підскажіть. Приціл за 300 долларів . Які приціли в us armi? Я прикордонник. В нашій країні іде війна. Россія агресор. Допоможіть будь ласка . Дякую.
Which one would be best for a hunting situation at 500 yards max here are my choices:
Leupold vx5 HD
Swarovski z3
Zeiss conquest v4
Vortex Razor HD LHT
I would pick them in the EXACT order you listed them
Here's a totally Baddass scope line that i just mounted on my 338 Lapua Magnum, how about a review of Brownell's 5-25x56mm and the 3-18x50mm Match Performance Optic rifle scopes...we need to watch your review.
I'm hoping to try them out soon
Obviously doesnt have any schmidt bender. Or steiner or nightforce or leuold gold ring in his collection. When i was only buying cheaper scopes i thought they were great. I have good inexpensive scopes on my.22 rimfires but all of my centerfires have expensive good quality scopes. Are they $1000 or $2000 better than the cheaper scoped. Probably not but they are BETTER.. most of my scopes have $200 camera filters on them to improve contrast and save the front lens from getting damaged or worn. I used to argue my cheap scopes were as good as the expensive ones. In that case i was wrong. Expensive they are but every shot i make costs about a dollar to reload and rifle wear . If i cant see it i cant shoot it
I have and have had all those brands . Including also Valdada and Swarovski / Kahles . This video was for scopes $750-1500 .
Which would be you use out of all these including all models you've tried since for an Ultralight non magnum hunting rifle build with 600 yard max shooting range and wanting a good low power with a wide field of view for fast accusation 50 yard shots?
Look at the Leupold 5hd
Joe you have the best reveiws ,,,I would like for you to check out and reveiw the crimson trace line of scopes,,, I have a 6-24x56 and it is awsome,,,, you should try and get some or 1 for a reveiw,,, stay safe,,, thanks for what you do,,,, as for the ass wipes that give you bad reveiws and rag on your ass,,, well I guess they have never seen a sexy midgit before,,, lmao
I reached out to them , but I never heard back
Well done Buba. Very informative. Thanks.
Excellent product very useful to traveling
I'm sorry... I'm sorry. I have nothing against this man personally...... but I hear his voice and instantly change the channel. I can't stand the terrible reviews. I also have noticed that the tech source are often wrong as well.
No offense taken at all man . Nobody's gonna be liked by everyone
I'm serious here, I'd love to see a review on cheap shit scopes from China, less than $100.
It would be hilarious 😂😆😂😆😂
Lol
Optika 6, vx5hd or zeiss v4 for deer hunting under 200yds. I cant decide.
Zeiss for me
Would you rather have the zeiss or swarovski for performance and durability for a long range hunting rifle and what magnefication
Swarovski 4-12
Have you ever checked out the crimson Trace line of rifle scopes cuz I have not seen anything from you on this. And if so what is your opinion on the overall quality tracking and durability
No I haven’t
Chubbed up myself several times.
In my opinion unless you are a professional assassin getting paid $100,000 a hit, there is no reason to go up to an $8,000.00 scope. I would have a hard time spending over a thousand dollars on a scope.
Yeah man it's just a mans budget and priority
Can u do a review on the Discovery 5x30x56 ffp
I no longer do Discovery scope reviews , their quality went downhill badddd
Thinking about a Meopta Meostar or Meopro 6.5x20x56
would like to see you do some reviews on some Meoptas in the future.
I hope tp
Love my USO TS20X and TS12X….Looking to add their FDN 17 or 25 to the collection. Joe have you tested or owned any of the USO’s Foundation scopes?
I owned an older foundation series scope and it was Awesome
New scope on the list for Father’s Day,! Need a new one.great video joe!
So many videos I see all have the element nexus in it, I think that’s the one I’m gonna go with. Thanks for the videos man they help me make expensive decisions that I don’t regret later.
nice! thanks joe! i'm calmly taking my time looking for a nice scope for my ptr-91. i'm taking my time (well, cuz i HAVE to lol - cataract surgery), but that will give me time to also get one or two 50 round drums, lol! i like this video, cuz i'm just NOT going to spend $3k for a scope for this rifle. i'm sure i can find something in this price range or even a little cheaper. i really appreciate your vids man!
Thanks Skip

I really like your presentation about the scopes you test. I’m really interested in the new Steiner Predator 8 scopes. How much better are the 8s vs the 4s?
I haven’t tested them but hope to real soon
Put you on the spot Joe, Delta or Nexus, , for 10m rats to 100m rabbits, (pcp).
thanks
Delta and don't look back
Can the black hound 6X24X50 handle the recoil of the 308 or 6.5CM?
Absolutely
BURRIS XTR III. Got mine for $1400!
Has anyone gone to swfa recently? The ss scopes are on back order and have been for a while. I hope they don’t forget about us...
It's like that for almost all scope companies
Can anybody go to some factory in Asia and put some specifications for a build and sell their own scope under a new name?
Pretty Much
Hello, can you do one for sightmark latitude second focal 10-40x60 ?
Thanks.
I'll look into it
Yep dam good optics...but I didn't see NCstar?!....Joke ;)
Lol
Only one lens in the ocular is schot glass
If I had only one choice it would be the new Tract Toric 4.5-30x56 👍
I am testing one now
My head is twisting and the money is ready to fly away😂. I have been looking on Delta Opticals Javelin but … also US Optics wich you have here. I dont think I have the need of 30 times magnification. Hunting mostly but also the range and I need to see the reticle in low magnification
Guess my head will keep spinning
Tract the vortex lht or a leupold vx5
Thank you sir
Will check them up
Joe, you said you are not a fan of Nightforce. I was wondering why. I have never owned one, but it kind of seems like Nightforce should be my next purchase (until watching this video) even though it's definitely out of my price range. Love your work.
I have owned 2 and both weren't what I would have liked optically. The newer ones are much better for sure . But the two NXS models I owned I sold after a short time because I had better scopes that cost less
Yep, my buddy had a nightforce NXS and I had just purchased a new Weaver super slam euro scope. We took them out to compare them all the way until it was too dark to see. My Weaver super slam was optically much better than the nxs. I don't know if you've ever had any experience with the weaver super slam scopes, but just thought I'd mention it in case you had. The super slam I have is an absolute killer scope. I don't know if all of them were as good, but mine is without a doubt the best scope I've ever owned or looked through.
Just my $.02.....Athlon Ares ETR 4.5x30x56 34mm
Yeah that's a nice scope
Nice videos...you got a new subscriber here ...🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️
Thanks for subscribing
Don’t sleep on the Meopta Optika series. Pretty good glass for the money
They are awesome
