Paul-the new guy Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Picked one up over the holidays from optics planet (thanks to JT for the 12% discount code). Finally got it mounted and had a chance to work with it for some close range drills. On the plus side the dot was bright and the part of the recticle I needed for shooting at short range was clean and uncluttered. It was very sharp and I didn't notice a lot of distortion even near the edges. On the minus side the head position was more critical than the 1-6 vortex razor I have used. The glass was good but in opinion not quite as good as the vortex (maybe the vortex glass was 5% better if I had to put a number on it. Maybe if someone has a resolution test target they could get empirical data). It seems to be lighter than the vortex but I neglected to weight it before I mounted it, so who knows? For me the real proof will be when I get a chance to stretch it out and see how it does. Now I just need to fire up the machine tools and cut myself a throw lever for it.. MGM has a throw lever that will work, Call them and they can tell you which one it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropsitos Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I know this is an old thread, but how are people feeling about this scope these days? I've got an opportunity to maybe pick a new one up for $500, and I have a couple year old Burris MTAC 1-4 i'd be upgrading from. I'm thinking it's a no brainer at that price and what I'm moving up from. thoughts? thanks Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrispies Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) $500? Hell, hook me up, LOL! Just take note that there's a "bargain" cmore 1-10x that is NOT the one we're talking about in this thread.

ropsitos Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) its a gift card thing, and all the cards were free to me. I am looking at the normally 1400 scope at like optics planet, and 2k at cmore Edited March 29, 2017 by ropsitos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrispies Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 Jarett posted a 50% off code on his Facebook at the beginning of the year. Not sure if it's good anymore though. Might want to verify if its still good and that your optics planet price is better. Sounds like it is with the gift cards but if its close enough you might want to save your gift cards for something else. If you do go through optics planet drop tischauser a PM for a discount code.

ropsitos Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 according to the cmore website,(putting it in my cart and attempting to check out) it still appears to be good. I'll have to call them though because I have 3 gift cards and there isn't a way to input them all. So hopefully the don't suddenly recognize the website is in error or something like that. If it doesn't work, then I'll be getting something else from them that doesn't cost me anything. I don't have the money to pay retail on that scope, even at double discounted optics planet prices.

toeheadAR Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 That would be a good deal of it works out. I like the reticle but not the weight. I'm trying sell my Burris 1-5x for something lighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troupe Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I have one that I sighted in and used it in one match. I would sell mine since I gave up on 3 Gun. I think the C-More has the best reticle going. I had the Vortex, but liked the C-More better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ropsitos Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 So I found out that Cmore gift cards are, in fact, not really gift cards in the traditional sense. They are more like discount code coupons and they cannot be combined with each other, nor can they be used with other codes/offers. Says it right on the back, which I only noticed after I was about to scratch off the code and call and order. I still called and verified, and no dice. So no Cmore 1-6 for me. I will probably pick up 2 slide rides and 2 bases. Purchased that way because I have 3 discount cards which have to be used on separate orders which does also mean I'll have to pay shipping 3 times. Kind of a bummer but I'll end up with 2 railways for $125 out of pocket, so it's still a good deal and I can make use of them. Just have to decide if its worth paying a little more for the Alum body ones and choose my dot sizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJan Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 (edited) It's all over the Facebook: code Rudyc3 will get this scope direct from CMore for $800 plus shipping. Maybe it wasn't worth it at $1400 when the vortex could be had at that price (or less). Is it now a no brainier at $800? Is it the best available at that price range? Will vortex and CMore be releasing a 1-8 soon? Edited August 9, 2017 by SJan English is hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amccallister Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Ugh... I wish I could have got mine for $800. I'm still using this scope, and I still like it after a couple of years. For that price I'm considering buying a 3rd one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took it up state this weekend and had no problems hitting steel out to 400yds. The glass is clear and the reticle is right on with Federal 55gr bulk ammo.

I guess if the reticle is much better than the vx6, then that would be the difference. But there's no way for me to see it, no videos online or anything. Does it seem bright? That's one of the vx6 weak points is the fire dot not so bright Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercs Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I've gone another route, and will be picking up a Lucid L7 at less than half the price. Less weight, similar reticle, greater field of view Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toeheadAR Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I don't think the L7 doesn't have a BDC reticle. I just got a VX6 with CMR2 reticle and Aero mount for $640 on eBay so that was hard to pas up. I like the weight, only con is brightness. The C-more is my favorite reticle and daylight bright, from what I understand, just a bit heavier. However most people are content with Vortex so most aren't worried about weight.

The C-more is my favorite reticle and daylight bright, from what I understand, just a bit heavier. However most people are content with Vortex so most aren't worried about weight.The L7 is MOA/MOA. BDC isn't going to be accurate across a variety of rounds anyways. I'd rather just have a MOA reticle with MOA adjustments and know my holdovers. Also it's mega bright blue reticle stands out in the blazing sun. Weight is around 20oz, so heavier than Vx6 but lighter than the razor and the C-More. I love the weight on those Vx6s for sure! Other than that, I still have some testing to do with this one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonytheTiger Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Just got a C3. I can't believe these scopes aren't more popular. At $815 shipped from C-more these are easily the best value on the market. I've never owned a Razor but in my limited experience with them I'd say the C3 is a direct competitor. I like the C3 reticle way better but thats a personal thing. The lighter weight vs the Razor is noticeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
