Favorite Scopes

[EZ-E]

Personally I've been a Vortex fan for over a decade. I have 9 magnified optics & 2 red dots & spotting scope from them. Ive got 2 Crossfires, 3 Diamondback Tacticals & 4 Strike Eagles... 1 is 5x25 FFP. You can't beat their unconditional warranty. I also have 2 Athons (Argos & Talos) & a Leupold MK3.

I will admit working in a gunshop that sells Vortex & being able to use their dealer program that earns you VORTEX BUCKS to get optics for free is pretty cool. This was last year's haul.

Anything vortex does it for me.

 

[Mike_from_Texas]

Nightforce, Maven and to a much lesser extent Leupold.

Almost anything but Vortex.

Although I may be biased as I used to sell them for several years, check out Konus.

Lifetime no questions asked warranty, good. Customer service Have been in the optics for decades before they ever come out with a rifle scope. I almost entirely switched to them, except for a couple of rifles that needed a period scope like an old Weaver or Redfield.

+1 for Maven Optics
I have a customized RS.4 sitting on a SPUHR cantilever ring set - 6mm ARC rifle.
Great Scope/Rings combo.

All my rifles wear either Nightforce or Meopta

I am still in search of glass for the rifle I have coming. I found an Athlon Cronus BTR 4.5-29x56 in used but excellent condition (so says the post) for $900 shipped. Is that a good starting point?

I am going to try out a Vortex Strike Eagle at some point to see if I like it or not. Hopefully that will work and do the job for me.

I own an Athlon Cronus BTR, and if that is a gen 2, it’s an excellent deal.
The Cronus is their top of the line, and is built by LOW. It is almost as good as glass as I have ever seen. It is better than the Vortex razor gen 2 in my opinion.
Strike Eagles are junk, spend a little more for something better, even if it’s just a Viper PST.

$900 for a Cronus BTR is a good deal.

There are several brands that are pretty much identical, all produced by LOW in Japan. They all retail new in the $1500 - $2000 range.
They all will do great job, but they are not in the same league as the top tier optics.

It seems to have a couple scuff marks on it but the glass is supposed to be in flawless shape. I think I’ll grab it and check it out.

I have always had great luck with my Nikons as well. Never fogging or any issues.

I just saw Arken is having one hell of a 4th of July sale, and they released a new 7-35 EP5, fyi.

I just bought the Athlon Cronus BTR. Hopefully I made the right decision. I have to figure out what mounts for it now.
I'll still take a look at the Arken deal though. Thanks.

For variable magnification, I like Vortex (especially Razor line) or Primary Arms.
RDS - Aimpoint, Holosun ACSS from Primary Arms, Sig
Prism - ACOG or Primary Arms
And Trijicon Bright & Tough suppressor night sights for pistols.

 

[alexng30]

General Purpose AR - TA110 ACOG (I need to throw an RMR up top on it)

For red dots I’m a huge fan of the Sig Romeo 4T Pro (and 8T pro). I think that they are genuine Aimpoint killers and their excellent NV performance has them even stepping over the Eotech crowd imo.

Vintage scope- I'm a sucker for the old Tasco's, LOL or old Leupold

Ever since Leupold went woke a couple years ago, I'm pretty much done with those.
