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
These are not "premium" most of these are Chinese junk
So many choices how do I even choose 1200$ scope budget for tikka 300 win mag…
Your a guy that tells it the way it even if you're a one eyed fat basturd from Texas lol
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 https://www.youtube.com/post/Ugkxc4K63Fd5LglDMObu7-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 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?
'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!
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 dont know if there is a scope that does it all like short mid and long range all in one scope. But I would like to get some info.
Ummm WHAT THE FUCK just came out of that stump during the intro? How did you do that? Seriously cool!
Excellent product very useful to traveling
How about Sightron fixed scopes?
This One Eyed Sum Bitch didn’t mention Meopta!
Optika 6, vx5hd or zeiss v4 for deer hunting under 200yds. I cant decide.
Don’t sleep on the Meopta Optika series. Pretty good glass for the money
Only one lens in the ocular is schot glass
What are your thoughts on the Zeiss Conquest MC 4.5-14×50?
Like your videos good information..
Please mention Meopta Optika 6 next time.Thank you
Swaro z6 or Leica amplus 6?
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.
Hey Joe if you had to choose between the Zeiss 5 in a 2×10 or Swarovski z3 in 3×10 which would you recommend . Here in Ohio we don’t shoot much passed 130yds. Real sorry bout your loss ole bud
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?
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
Would you rather have the zeiss or swarovski for performance and durability for a long range hunting rifle and what magnefication
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?
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
Have you reviewed any Trijicon credos or Tenmiles yet?
thanks
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
Wow !
What about the Arken that you have raved about??
I have never looked through a Zeiss, maybe I will have to look into these
Have you done a review on the vortex venom?
Meopta ???
Thanks for your reviews and videos. Great stuff and much appreciated.. I'm glad you included the Nightforce SHV. Even though they may not have as crystal clear glass as some of these newer scopes. They also don't have as much adjustment as my NXS's, but they track incredibly well. For the money, I have not been disappointed. I'm thinking about buying a Zeiss V4 6-24×50 and doing a little comparing myself.
Well done Buba. Very informative. Thanks.
I love your vids, but why the hell would you not be a NF fan boy? I can’t find any issues out of my older and newer NF.. could it be the cost?
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 3-18×50 and for this reason only. I currently have a Riton 3 Conquer 3-15×44 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.
Can anybody go to some factory in Asia and put some specifications for a build and sell their own scope under a new name?
Hug that big doggie
You missed Leica.
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!
I still think the 500 dollar arken could hang with all of them.
