What is the current “hot” scopes in either 1” or 30mm tube that has nice glass? Looking for 4-14 minimum on the low power range, up to 6-20 on the higher side. Objective can be anything from a 40, 42, or 44. Price point up to $500 Thanks, Beave 😎 Tract hands down it's no competition I got banned on another web site for a debate that happened on this site. That's a first

We also have no details on what if any measures are taken at the factory to test function. Nightforce makes a big deal about factory testing.

What if your “tests” aren’t “bankable”? I applaud your effort and enthusiasm but I have more confidence in SWFA adjustments than your “tests.” Last edited by AKwolverine; 07/21/20.

No moderation here. He tried that on the Nosler forum which I moderate. He was wacked after one post. Total alcoholic vitriolic loser.

Larry started with another account. I think that one was kicked. He has been put in a corner several times, and had to beg Rick to let him back on. He was on a one-post a day limit or something for a long time too. He is really knowledgeable. He likely has done much of what people ask questions about. He is also very opinionated and is a complete fuuck about expressing it. Anti-social in the extreme. Take what he says as a knowledgeable opinion, and the way he says it with a grain of salt. I put him on ignore years ago, but I sometimes check and see whether he is adding to a discussion or just abusing people who don't agree with him. I belong on eroding granite, among the pines.

I just want to know where he ordered that 6x42 SWFA from. A broke clock is right twice a day... Seriously, Stick has a lot of experience and knows a lot about rifles, loads, twists, bullets, etc. I've sent him PM's in the past and he's been courteous and helpful with the answers. I think he likes to poke those who he perceives as full of hot air, saying more than they can actually back up. Now, whether that's the case or not, seems to me that's what he's addressing. He doesn't suffer fools kindly as they say. So, who's the fool? That's up to interpretation at least on his part as I perceive it. DF
