wgj3 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Pretty solid for the money, but better glass 1-4 can be had for just a little more cash... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not just about the "X's", gotta be able to see clearly through the glass for X's to matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inertia Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 In the lower price range check out Burris RT6 very good 3gun reticle for newer shooters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter1998 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Steiner 1-4 is a great scope for the money. Reticle is easy to use and clarity is well above most scopes in this price range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verla Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Save up and get a Vortex Razor GEN II-E 1-6X with the JM reticle and a JP offset one piece mount- very solid. If you continue to shoot 3 gun you will be glad you bought the Razor and the mount. A 3 gun rifle takes a beating on quite a few stages under all weather conditions.

Malcolm31 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 verla has provided some solid advice. I would recommend the same. It might take a little bit longer to save up the cash, but it is worth it. My Razor 1-6x is the best optic I have ever owned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooter545 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 All in for the Razor. I have four of them. They are about as good as it gets given the price. Almost bought a Swaro yesterday but decided to just buy more Ammo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpeltier Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I recently put a Vortex strike eagle 1-8 on my hunting rifle for a Caribou hunt in Alaska. I have been shooting 3-gun for many years and wanted to try an alternative to the high dollar glass I have been using in 3-gun but similar in power and reticle. That strike eagle was on the rifle in an ATV gun mount unprotected driving and bouncing and banging around the trails for miles and miles. I never realized how rough trails could be or how wet they could be. I kept wondering if after all this abuse the darned thing would still hold zero or work at all. After we found a Bull to my liking, my son and I stalked him until we got about 220 yds away and he got up and started trotting off. I saw my opportunity and took aim. Ive been shooting long enough to call my shots and I knew it was a good one, verified a second later by the "WHACK" the bullet made. Perfect shot, standing unsupported, from 220 yds with a scope that just took some of the worst punishment you can dish out. I just wish the reticle was a little brighter in daylight. On a beginners 3-gun rifle it will be just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
