Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Anyone want an SS hunting scope?

I'm worse at guiding than I am at setting up rifles/scopes.

Someone needs to buy one and connect the dots......hint.

Standing by for a report!

well lookie there, made in japan that does answer at least something.

Scott will be unavailable for the rest of the day as he conducts tests on his new scope. Thank you for the understanding.

Sorry boys the eye relief is as short as advertised. My last purchase was a Mini 14 that actually shoots good so I wanted to put a little more magnification on it. I figured this would be a great carbine scope and even if the eye relief was short, it would work on that rifle.

It barely works on my Mini 14 with 13.25 LOP. I don't think this is going to work on many rifles. You can see how far back I had to mount it.

I bet it would go great on a NULA 300 Weatherby mag I had my hands on.

The turrets have loud audible clicks. The glass looks good to me but I'm not a scope snob. The finish looks like a spray on bed liner.

I will probably take it out shooting tomorrow. I'm sure it will function flawlessly. It's a decent little package for $299 but it's achilles heel is the eye relief which is a pretty big flaw. It's going difficult to even mount on most rifles.

If you put it on your 338 Federal, you will shoot your eye out.

DakotaDeer will be along shortly to tell you your scope mounting skills suck.


Think how bad it will be if you wore glasses.........

Ha ha, noted!

Connect more than dots....

My skills do suck. I never claimed to be good, I just get lucky occasionally.

It was a joke scott. DD posted earlier that the reason people get scoped is because they don't know how to mount a scope. Luck trumps skill anyday, anyway!

Interesting posts, not to mention entertaining (both accidental and intended).

I think that I will try one on my little .257 AI. The old 2-7x32 Nikon that has been on there for about 20 years took a beating on my Coues deer hunt year before last. Despite the heroic efforts of Nikon's warranty techs, I am a little bit leery of it's overall health.

I had a guy today asking me for an AR scope recommendation,and he is not a he's not a tactical kind of guy.

I know buddy.

I get questions about AR hunting scopes quite a bit. For a lot of younger hunters, bot gun is not a default choice at all. I remember when varmint hunters discovered how accurate heavy barrel AR-15s can be. Then predator hunters realized that you can have very good accuracy without a very heavy barrel. Now, with all the intermediate AR-15 cartridges (not to mention 7.62x39 in an AK), ARs are here to stay when it comes to big game hunting as well. Just about anything that can be reasonably shot with a 30-30, can be shot just as well with 300Blackout, 6.8SPC, 6.5Grendel, 30AR, 7.62x39 etc.

Those AR's are getting more popular all the time. The flat brim hat wearing mall ninjas love to spray ammo at our range.

I've thought about building an ultralight AR for mountain hunting for no other reason than to do it....

I can get it no more than 7.5 pounds work scope....

The most accurate rifle I own is an AR-15, custom....
