• Lots of asks for refresh on the last one, but it turns out there has been very little movement on sales. Eurooptic is claiming 15% off on Vortex scopes, but it doesn't apply to their on sale Razor IIIs, so no real deal there.

    Year end sales where I checked were big nothingburgers besides what I had already posted in August.

    Any fixed power 10x deals for us plebs or is the SWFA SS 10x42 still the recommendation?

    parent root

    I don't hunt for things that aren't similar to the meta, so you might want to just hunt around

    parent root

    No Meopta deals or similar? Might just have to grab an Ares soon

    parent root

    Normal-ish pricing and EO stopped carrying the model we all liked.

  • Random subjective input: ive been really impressed with the Steiner t6xi and h6xi series and I'm surprised theyre overlooked so much

    Crispy

    Cdoes did an awesome review of one and made it apparent how good the glass is.

    +1 for the Steiner T6Xi series. I have the 5-30x56 with SCR2 reticle and it’s been fantastic.

    parent root

    I looked through a t6xi last month at my local range and was very impressed with it.

    parent root

    It’s pretty similar to atacr

    parent root

    Apologies for what may be an ignorant question, but is the reticle on the one posted useful? It looks really cluttered, but the farthest I’ve shot is only 600 so maybe that all gets useful the more you reach out?

    parent root

    The other reticle (SCR2) is even more busy.

    The bottom half of the reticle is basically gor elevation holds. The little half crosshair would be for ranging a target of known size. 

    I actually think its pretty clean, but I've never used the MSR2.

    I believe there's a whole video on it on YouTube and there's plenty of talk of either option on snipers hide

    Very interesting. I appreciate the response

    I can’t say enough good about my T6xi 5-30. Running it side by side with RGIII and I prefer the Steiner. The image seems brighter and the slightly lower base mag is great. The turret lock style is my only gripe.

  • Those Zeiss S5 prices are insane, i don’t remember seeing them that low except maybe a few times on GAFS. I paid $1800 for a S3 and it was a GAFS deal. The S3 and S5 are the clearest optics I’ve ever looked through

    parent

    Its crazy! I have 2 s5s and now im thinking I need another 2 haha. Was planning on getting an amp mk ii in the next few days but im thinking I might get another s5 with those prices and the amp can wait till summer.

  • Just want a razor gen 3 4-24 for less than 2500 like others have told me they’ve gotten.

    parent

    They’ll pop up as stock increases. Just everyone and their mom wants one right now.

    parent root

    Hopefully, still waiting on my PBB barrel which i don’t expect for probably around 4 months since i did order it right around christmas time so i’ve got time

    parent root

    If you’re interested I got one on tacswap for what I paid for it. It’s a pretty slick scope, bought 2 but had to cancel my new build.

    parent root

  • Any recommendations on any of these optics to go on a Ruger precision 22LR? Ideally, it will serve as starting point for me to get involved in some rimfire competitions.

  • I just recently purchased a vector continental from their website. They are doing bundle deals on them. Bought mine bundled with a cantilever mount for my AR, power lever, and red dot mounting kit for the cantilever all for $532. The scope comes with rings for a standard rifle already and if you bundle with the throw lever only it’s $508. Question though. How is the Athlon btr 2.5-15 compared to the etr 3-18? I see the 3-18 is discontinued and I was debating on picking one up later in 2026 for a 308 bolt gun possibly

    parent

  • How do the Athlons and PST II compare to the Match Pro ED? I can get it after cash back for like 575 so was leaning towards that for a Cheeto build

    parent

    What model? I have a 3-18 ETR and 3-18 continental (match pro cousin). For precision work I like the ETR better no question but for hunting I’d take the match pro/continental just for the lockable lower profile turrets and better low power reticle.

    parent root

    ETR or BTR II 4.5-27x, mulling over both. No hunting, just for learning some precision shooting on a 6.5 creed

    parent root

    If I was you I’d probably lean Athlon given I’ve heard the bigger ETR is better than its smaller 3-18 brother but don’t have experience with either of those.

    parent root

    Awesome, thank you!

  • Thanks for the refresh. I wish the LHT sale was as good at the higher magnifications.

    parent

    Dvor has the 4.5-22 lht ffp mrad for 1155, or the 3-15s a smidge over 1k

    parent root

  • Razor gen 3 4-24 moa is 1900 and the 4.5-22 lht ffp mrad is 1155 on dvor, sale just started

    parent

    still kicking myself for not grabbing the 4-24 MRAD on dvor a few weeks ago

  • The 5-25 PST vs 5-25 Venom, since they’re similar price… if illumination and turrets aren’t a big deal to you, is there any major difference?

    parent

    My understanding was the PST II had better glass, but I never did a review.

    parent root

    Athlon Ares ETR 4.5-30 vs Athlon Ares BTR GEN2 4.5-27? is the ETR worth $260 more for beginner to pair with Bergara B14 HMR?
