Beegreenstrings Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 I mounted the cheaper version of Vortex's 6-24x50 on mine. The Crossfire with the illuminated mil-dot. It's fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent LR scopes are about a grand. I have a low end one on my 308. My precision AR will have decent. Good gets in the 2k range. There are scopes out there in the 3k+ range.

kawi kid Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Also, I have in my possession, a 30mm vortex crossfire that I'll let go to the highest bidder. A certain mod may or may not try to hunt you down to get it back though.I already warned him that it would be painted pink when he got it.I don't trust either of you to even pick out the right color pink to match my hello kitty theme. Ill paint it myself. And its not for sale!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walther_gsp Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 If it didn't cost a $1000 then it is a shit scope an not worth mention around these parts.Hardly. Heaven forbid we mention a decent, affordable scope that costs more than $100. Sorry, but your tasco's, and lower cost bushnells, simmons and the like are shit scopes.

speedytriple Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 yeah cause a $300 17hmr that shoots to 200 yrds needs top end glass? get a nice nikon or the like for 150 or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walther_gsp Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 yeah cause a $300 17hmr that shoots to 200 yrds needs top end glass? get a nice nikon or the like for 150 or soFYI the "nice" nikon's are over a grand. The usable ones are still in the $400 territory. Does it need top end glass, certainly not. I'm using a budget scope and shooting out to 1200 yards with ease on my 308. I've outshot guys with more money in their scope than I had in my rifle, scope, rings, bipod, and suppressor. That said, why buy an accurate rifle and then handicap yourself with shit glass. Buying a slightly more expensive scope and you are getting better quality glass, better reticles, adjustments that actually track properly, better eye relief, and will hold zero better.
