I’ve seen scope failures from every scope maker. Zeiss, Swarovski, Leupold, Trijicon, Huskama, Nikon… Everyone. A Rifle Scope is a precision instrument mounted on something that recoils and gets knocked around. Every scope, no matter what, will eventually fail. That’s just a fact. Death and Taxes. So just because someone on the internet bitches and …
All the new scopes and Binos I’ve been seeing from Weaver has really been impressing me. Their quality for the prices they are offered at Retail… Very impressive. ATK has done very well to make Weaver a serious optics brand again. Kudos! I can say that Weaver has a couple good scopes and a Bino …
I was asked about options for Illuminated scopes. There are a lot of them out there… Burris, Leupold, Vortex. And they are all just fine. The Vortex Crossfire Illuminated with a MilDot, can be had for only 200 bucks. But it’s not my favorite by any means. The one I really like is the Trijicon …
I am going to be making a video of a rifle that is wearing a Counter Sniper scope. Long story on this gun… that I’ll get into later… but I just want to talk about this scope. I’ve had some questions about it in the past and another one recently. So this is forcing me …
The Barrett M82A1′s rail has a built in 20MOA can’t built in. This was known. The Nikon M223 Mount has a 20MOA cant built in. This was NOT known. (It’s not on the packaging anywhere, but it is on the website) As it turns out, 40MOA of incline doesn’t work. Unless you want to be …
Some time ago on the old MadOgre.com site, I made this list. Time to update it a little, and repost it. Prices may be a little off. If I was to do just a Top Ten, it would be full of optics that never dipped below a grand. So what I’ve done is to take …
I was looking at my rifles… and I noticed something that got me thinking. All my rifles tend have scopes that are variable powered, but they are always left on the same power setting. I never adjust the magnification power. All the midrange scopes are all on the highest setting, the high powered scopes are …
Nikon has a great scope for a .223 rifle, such as your AR-15. They call it the “M-223″. It’s slick and easy to use. It’s actually one of my favorite optics for any longer barreled AR build (Think Crusader Templar) or Varminter configuration. What does Nikon have for AR-10/SR-25/Broadsword? Nothing so much… Right now for …
