EOTech 552.XR308 Holographic Sights/ Military Red Dot Sight

Standardized by the DEA, ATF, and FBI SWAT, the Model 552 is by far the most popular HWS model. This NV compatible, AA battery model is the sight of choice by military units like Stryker Brigade, 10th Mountain, and 3rd Infantry. It is battle proven to withstand the abuse that any harsh environment, high powered weapon platform, or military mission can dish out.

Vortex scopes

Getting reacquainted w/ rifles so I’m out of the loop when it comes to optics, could use some input here. Unfortunately my budget isn’t unlimited, so I’m trying to find a decent scope at a middle of the road price (around $500). I’m only calling that middle of the road because some of the others that have been recommended start creeping into the $1k range. Based on what I want to do I was to look for something with more than 3-9 magnification (once I get confortable again I want to practice more 400, 500, 600 yds, etc.). With that said–any comments/feedback on the following? Keep in mind this won’t be the first and last, but I would like something fair to serve its purpose until I can upgrade (if I even need to). Nikon Monarch 4-16×50 — http://www.opticsplanet.net/nikon-mo…flescopes.html Vortex Viper 6.5-20×44 — http://www.opticsplanet.net/vortex-r…pr-m-05fp.html Leupold VX II 6-18×40 — http://www.opticsplanet.net/leupold-…fle-scope.html Bushnell Elite 4-16×40 — http://www.opticsplanet.net/bushnell…-424164sf.html I also saw a few Burris and Weaver, any word there? Any feedback is appreciated, and TIA.

If you want a Leupold that will hang with those you will need to step up to the VX-3. I would highly recommend looking at the Sightron SII / SII bigsky / SIII and also the Zeiss Conquests. This is what I have read about Weaver (take it FWIW): Weaver had a change in ownership and quality dropped. I believe they are back to being owned by the original company and are being made by the same Japanese manufacturer as before (LOW, same people who make the elites). I am not sure exactly which Weaver models are the good ones. The ones made in Japan by LOW are the good ones. lipadj46 is offline lipadj46 View Public Profile Find More Posts by lipadj46 Old May 20, 2009, 07:45 PM #3 BetterOnTwo Member Join Date: January 13, 2009 Location: Reston, VA Posts: 15 Thanks for the input, I’m looking around now. Just off hand–anyone have any experience w/ factory refurbished scopes? Only reason I ask–I see one that’s at one hell of a price if it’s actually been refurbished to factory spec.

Buy it the Viper has been the best $500 I have ever spent on glass, better , much better than my Leupold VX III in the same magnification, brighter and cheaper, and with options that put you well over $1000 from Leupold! Their customer service is second to none from my experience, not that I have ever had any problems, but they are quick with answers and seem willing to ‘make it right’ whatever it may be. __________________ _____________________________________________________________________ Sturm Ruger-Bolt & High End Single Shot Rifles: Remington-Shotguns: Smith & Wesson-DA Revolvers: Sturm Ruger-SA Revolvers: Marlin/NEF/H&R-Best BANG for your Buck!!

If you are saving a few hundred bucks then fine but some of the refurbs are 10-20% off and just not worth it without the full warranty. lipadj46 is offline lipadj46 View Public Profile Find More Posts by lipadj46 Old May 20, 2009, 10:29 PM #6 sholling Senior Member Join Date: May 18, 1999 Location: A small town in the of the Peoples Republic of Kalifornia Posts: 4,057 The Bushnell 4200, Monarch, and the Viper are all going to be close optically with maybe a slight nod to the 4200 over the Monarch. Vortex has the best reputation for customer Service of the 3, and Nikon the worst of the 3. Nikon specifically limits their refurbished warranty down from the normal lifetime to 90 days and record serial numbers for that reason. To the best of my knowledge Bushnell doesn’t do that but I’d double check anyway. __________________ NRA Life Member Old age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill sholling is offline sholling View Public Profile Find More Posts by sholling Old May 20, 2009, 11:34 PM #7 Dallas Jack Senior Member Join Date: February 25, 2005 Location: Dallas Posts: 317 Don’t know anything about the Vortex. I think the Nikon and Bushnell are fine scopes. I think you are leaving off the best bang for the buck scope. The Weaver Grand Slam is well under $500.00 and is as clear and tracks as good as Nikon or Bushnell. I don’t know how they would compare to the Vortex Viper though. I currently have one Nikon Monarch and four Weavers. I like them all but the price would put the Weavers ahead of the Nikon. I also have heard good things about the Sightron line. And of course the Zeiss Conquest gets good reviews. Good luck in your purchase.

Generally if optics aren’t made here, Germany or austria I tend to steer clear…. Bushnell’s Elite scopes (formerly Bausch and Lomb), Weaver K, T, & V series, and Grand Slam, and Vortex’s Viper are made in Japan by one of the best scope manufacturers in the business. Lesser Vortexes and Bushnells are made elsewhere. All but the cheapest Nikons and the Burris’ Fullfield line are made at an excellent plant in the Philippines. These are all good scopes. For what it’s worth Vortex has been taking the birding binocular world by storm and their Viper binocular has serious bang for a $500 set of glasses. Their $900 Razor plays in the same neighborhood as some of the German and Austrian works of art. They are based in the US but source their manufacturing just like almost everybody else. __________________ NRA Life Member Old age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill Last edited by sholling; May 21, 2009 at 01:22 AM. sholling is offline sholling View Public Profile Find More Posts by sholling Old May 21, 2009, 01:35 AM #10 lt dan Senior Member Join Date: March 4, 2008 Location: south africa Posts: 244 i just attended NAMPO it is the largest agricultural show in the southern hemisphere. talked to the people that imports the vortex. they say it is made in the Philippines. these guys are also the importers of swarovski. i compared the two and the Vortex doesnt do bad at all __________________ “Hunting has two brothers , Shot Placement and Penetration”: old African saying

EOTech 552.XR308 Holographic Sights/ Military Red Dot Sight

Standardized by the DEA, ATF, and FBI SWAT, the Model 552 is by far the most popular HWS model. This NV compatible, AA battery model is the sight of choice by military units like Stryker Brigade, 10th Mountain, and 3rd Infantry. It is battle proven to withstand the abuse that any harsh environment, high powered weapon platform, or military mission can dish out.

• AA battery Model (supports Lithium or Alkaline)

• Ballistic drop compensated reticle for .308 caliber

* Muzzle loading cannon – NOT, as it is an antique design, unless it has some special features allowing breech loading.
* Explosive grenade – is a DD
* Molotov cocktail – is a DD
* M-79 or M-203 40mm grenade launcher – is a DD
* Smooth bore 37mm projectile launcher – not a DD. Not even a title 1 firearm. This item falls under the “not a weapon” (signaling device) exception, I believe. Generally a large bore device for which no anti-personnel ammo has ever been made will NOT be a DD. This used to be true of the 37mm guns. However, according to ATF, some folks have started making anti-personnel rounds for these guns, and ATF has ruled that possession of a 37mm launcher and a bean bag or rubber shot or similar round is possession of a DD, and at that point the launcher needs to be registered. Put another way, before you make or buy anti-personnel rounds for your 37mm launcher, register it as a DD. The rounds themselves, not being explosive, incendiary or poison gas, are not regulated in themselves either. It is just the two together. See ATF Ruling 95-3.
* 40mm grenade for an M-79 or M-203 – a DD.
* Non-explosive 40mm practice ammo – not a DD. Commercial making of it would require a type 10 FFL though, as although the ammo is not itself classified as a DD, making ammo for a DD requires the FFL.
* Non-sporting 12 gauge shotgun – is a DD, because it has a bore over 1/2″, and is not exempted unless it meets the “sporting use” test. Check out the case Gilbert Equipment Co., Inc., v. Higgins, 709 F. Supp. 1071 (D. Ala. 1989) for how the sporting use test has been re-interpreted from what it meant when the law was enacted to having ATF be arbiters of what is “sport”.
* Flame Thrower – not a DD, nor even a firearm. Unregulated as to possession, under federal law. Great way to clear snow off the driveway.
* Japanese Knee Mortar – A DD. Even though there is no available ammo for it, explosive or otherwise, and hasn’t been since 1945, because anti-personnel ammo was made for it in the past, it is a weapon. As it has a bore over 1/2″ and isn’t sporting, it is a DD.
