Hawke Vantage vs Burris Droptine… which one is better in your opinion?
I’m looking at scopes for a couple of rifles and it helps having YOU do some of the research and sharing your experience.
any Nikon
Hey Cyclops which Hawke scope would you recommend on a 243 for deer
Loo pold
👍👍🏿👍🏻
Every scope I own is on this list . Joe knows his scopes.
no mention of first/second focal plane of scopes. sup with that?
The worst internal network
What do you think about a scope for a 300 rum sir?
My son has 2 Leupold's. I have a OLD Nikon on my 1970's era Ruger .308, but absolutely love the new Burris Droptine 3-9 I just put on my also 1970's era Ruger in .243. Thanks for the vid, your opinion I value greatly.
Great video. I didn't want to scope my 30-30 Rossi R95 lever gun but my eyes need me to. These scopes are some good options. I'm also looking hard at the Burris Fullfield 2 in 2-8×35 and it has a small illuminated cross and I was quoted $190 for it.
You must be from usa. In canada you cant find many scopes for under 300
That vortex Crossfire is a hot turd.
So many choices now. I see a lot of guys using hawk but know nothing about them. I’m not sure UsA pricing but I’m also curious why none of the zerotech are in here? You did say the thrive 2.5-15 is a great hunting scope. It’s only like $200 usd in Aus.
Can you do a review of some of Osprey’s long eye relief scopes? I’ve seen on paper and on their website that a lot of their scopes have a 4.7 to 7.8 inch eye relief!! I think a lot of new and amateur shooters would really find that attractive!
What reticle do you recommend for shooting 6.5cm out to 500 yds w some graduations built in for reference? Ty
Good stuff Ty
Hi Joe, this is a question about which scopes are best for someone with vision loss.
I recently looked at several scopes and narrowed it down to three, but i woke up blind in my left eye one morning and won't get my sight back in that eye.
I am a right handed shooter and still have use of my dominant right eye.
My question is, should I put a halt on getting a new scope, or should I go ahead with buying one?
I guess the real question is, will a great quality scope in the 3-20 x 42 mm to 50 mm help improve how I see targets & game through my one good eye?
Thanks bc_archer
Public service announcement: The Nikon buckmaster ll scope that can still be found on ebay etc…kicks the snot out of the Chinese made sig "buckmaster" …your welcome, no charge for the information.
I ended up getting the buckmasters 30mm 4-16×44.
I took the Leupold freedom 3-9×50 scope and out them side by side same power 4 x and 9x
My buddy looked through both and said the clearer scope was the sig.
Thanks for the help, saved some money and got a nice scope.
Which one would you throw on a long range muzzle loader?
Great video.
What would you recommend for shotgun? I'm looking for LPVO 1-4 or 1-6 for my Benelli M2. Don't care about brand, I just want to make sure it can take 12GA recoil.
We shoot competitions (slug) from 25-100m, due to the stupid low in my country 3gun and practical shooting is banned. So multi-target and such is all we have left 😡
Anything you would recommend? Vortex (not a big fan of vortex), Vector Optics, Leupold etc. I've heard good things about Firefield Rapid Strike 1-6×24, would you have any experience with that brand?
I have a question the vector optics orion 4-16-44 max ffp what’s your opinion on it it’s $229 I’m liking what I’m seeing on it how about you and thanks for answering me back talk soon del
I have a question what about the vector optics scopes they have a zero stop etched glass light weight and in that price range
this is the vid i have been looking for !!!!!!!! THANK YOU !!!!!
How do you feel about the Blackhound?
Big fan of your channel! Question, which scope would you put on this. Ruger 10/22. With a Kidd barrel, BX trigger, and Boyd stock.. Hunting and bench rest shooting, normally a 100 yards or less. I'm not a marksman, but do like accuracy. Looking for exposed reticle adjustment for trying different ammo and reticle with drop points. Would be nice if it was light weight as well, but would like something in the $500 or less, but I know I'm asking for a lot in that range. Watched so many videos and read reviews until my head is spinning. What do oil thing? And I'll by it from Optic Force 🙂
I just picked up two Vortex Strike Eagle 4x24x50mm scopes with 30mm tubes and exposed turrets for $250.00 a piece from Midway USA. Great scopes for the money.
I just got an sig buck master for my muzzle loader! $100. Clear as my Burris.
Hey Joe, you own any browning t-bolts?
is one this scope will hold for my 300 win magnum rifle?
Hey Joe,
Surprised the Leica Amplus 6 didn’t make it. Also, have you had a chance to look at the newer Tract Toric hunter 2.5-15X44? I really trust your opinions and am looking at possibly picking one up for my new 300 WM Elk Rifle. Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Does GPO compare to meopta? My Zeiss conquest is still my favorite scope and I have Leupold vx3i's and a freedom on a 350. Thanks great video.
Any thoughts about the Sightron SI?
THoughts on a 1-6 Venom on a 6.5CM? Hunting 50 to 300yrds
I hate my Vortex Crossfire II. Clouds up in low light.
I really appreciate you doing this and not only pushing brands you have relationships with. That is a rare thing.
I recently got a Vortex Diamondback HP 4-16 x 42. It has adjustable parallax, capped turrets, and (most surprisingly) HD glass. It lists for $480 but I paid $195. I think it might belong on your list!
I was impressed by my Vortex Wilderness 4-16×44 on my Bergara B-14 HMR Wilderness. Granted, I got it for a steal at an Air Force exchange.
I've got the 4x,12 it does not track and the windage spring is so tight it sucks.Getting a refund and buying another Zeiss scope.
Joe, how about suggesting Arken come out with a SFP scope with a 2X being the low end?
You are the best and the most honest scope guy reviewing on YouTube
hey, im wondering… can u test hikmicro vs pulsar? .. greetz
Daumen runter Kanalsperre 💩💩💩💩💩💩👎👎👎👎 dann eben Kommentar 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎YouTube Scheiße Waffen 💩💩💩😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
Joe what do you (or anyone else) know about the Nikko Stirling Diamond 3-12 x 62. They are $250-$300, illuminated, and obviously have a large objective that could be helpful in lowlight conditions. I held one at my local gun shop the other day. Didn't seem like a bad scope. I read the diamond series is manufactured in Japan. Wondering if you or anyone else knows anything about them.
Where did the ghost Hitler rant go. I went to watch it again, because I have to watch them 2-3 times, because my laughter detracts my viewing. When I tried to watch it again it was gone.
