  1. Which of these is the least worthless junk scope ?

    We used to DREAM of living in a culvert. Would have been like a palace to us!

  2. I need a little inside help folks.

    The first and obvious question is - what kind of use are you going to put the scope to, and what kind of magnification are you looking for? And what kind of gun (particularly caliber) are you going to mount it on? I know. That's three questions.

  3. For those who own night vision...

    Depends what you mean by "night vision", and what you intend to use it for. Since you're speaking about dual tubes, I presume you're at least initially thinking about PVS-14 based devices.

    Pistol Mounted Optics Discussion Thread

  5. I thought I had astigmatism.

    Yeah, I am due up for eye tests. And I know I'm gonna need to fill a prescription. I'm thinking of getting a special pair for shooting that corrects my right eye with a focus right on my front post, so if anyone has a recommendation for anyone in the Cherokee Co. area, I'd be grateful for it.

  6. I thought I had astigmatism.

    Whether high price/quality or low price/quality, the higher the intensity of the dot/reticle, the worse it'll be if you have astigmatism. That doesn't mean you shouldn't buy good glass, it just means you should try and keep the brightness dialed down as low as you can, while still being able to...

  7. Recommendations for a Spotting Scope - Out to about 400 yds

    I know this one will get somewhat spirited - because I'm on a budget - but what's the best bang for buck on a spotting scope that needs to be 'good' out to about 400 yards if I'm on an $800 budget? I'm shooting targets, not game, so I'm not awfully bothered about weight, and given the...

  8. Best optic for Henry x .357

    I'm gonna go 'Fudd' on this one and say - at least consider an 'improved' iron peep sight like the ones that Rangerpoint make. https://rangerpointstore.com/marlin-henry-rifle-peep-sights I put an optic on my Big Boy X and realized I'd have to put a riser on the stock or find a really...

  9. Need help!

    I'm gonna get some flak for this, but take a look at the Vortex Crossfire II 2-7x32 SFP V-PLEX MOA Rimfire Rifle Scope (MPN CF2-31001R). It's (as it says in the name) a light-duty model, and it's got an MSRP of about $180. I have a number of Vortex optics and haven't been disappointed. There...

  10. Need help!

    Thinking about this, you have some other options. The red dot plus a magnifier is one. That's the nearest solution to your current one, but as I said, you're talking about 2 devices, and you have to decide on what magnification you want, because as far as I know, there are no inexpensive...

  11. Need help!

    The normal way to experience a magnified red dot is with a separate magnifier (and they tend to be fixed magnification too), so if you're not liking the 3MOA dot, you'll want to get a new red dot, then pick up an appropriate magnification magnifier. At your max anticipated range of 150ft...

  12. My eyes aren't what they once were I'm sure I'm not the only one.

    If your optical prescription includes astigmatism, red dots will never be the same. If you want that kind of experience, a prism sight might work better for you. With tube optics, and depending on the strength of the prescription, you should be able to get some improvement in focus and reduced...

  13. AR-style Weapon Sight Choices

    I have a Vortex Spitfire 3x Prism (Gen II) scope on my AR15 300BLK. I have the same except 5x (Gen II) that will be going on a new AR build I'll be working on soon. Very satisfied with both.

  14. AR-style Weapon Sight Choices

    Answer depends almost entirely upon what you intend to use the weapon for, your anticipated typical range and other aspects of its configuration. Assuming a carbine length for 25-200 yard mil-LARP use, I think many responders will say a cowitnessed red dot or an LVPO. And always offer "Tacos"...

  15. What good is an optic without shake awake?

    I can't find a picture of one, but back in the 70's in the UK I played with similar thing. It was a hexagonal lucite tube with a square section of 'fiber optic' set inside it along the tube's axis. The lower half of the tube was mirrored (hey, you catch as much light as you can in the rainy UK)...

    What mount?

  17. What mount?

    One thing on sourcing. Find the rings you want (OpticsPlanet is usually a good reference point) Copy the UPC Do a search for that UPC on http://www.wikiarms.com and http://gun.deals to check prices Then paste the UPC straight into the browser and visit other links that are clearly retailers...

    Old mystery optic

    Looks like a Weaver K2.5 Rimfire. You can still get refurbished versions, and like all those old Weaver scopes, they're built like tanks. https://www.vintagegunscopes.com/vgs-remanufactured/vgs-remanufactured-weaver-k10-63dr3-klf4p-hr74y-h366z

  19. What good is an optic without shake awake?

    Sounds like SOMEONE needs a prism scope.

  20. Optic on EDC or no?

    Depends what kind of 'red dot' you mean. For tube assemblies, you have Ultradot (http://ultradotusa.com) which last time I checked were made in Japan. They also make a reflex sight, but it looks like it's for a pic rail. I have two of their tube sights on my bullseye pistols, and the build...
