So far, the only hold over reticle I've seen that I liked are in the Burris FFIIs. Small unobtrusive hashmarks. For the rapidZ800, it is going on varmint gun. usually midday on whistle pigs. My concern is where yours is, Dub. It may be doing some coyote work in lower light... I'm hoping the...
Who knows LOL! Things get spread around so fast on the internet and there are no fact checkers standing by to be sure no erroneous information gets out. I think it was Abraham Lincoln that said, "You can't believe everything you read on the internet." :wink:

Cmon on, Charlie!!! The #4 is one of my favorites! I have one sitting on top of my 338WM and love it. I have another on its way for my 375Ruger. I wish I had done more of my scopes with a #4.
Dub... I left southern CA when I was 18 (1993) and moved to AZ. After 6 years of baking, I managed to experience a cranial-rectal inversion and moved back to CA for four years. I finally overcame my cranial rectosis and moved to CA North (OR)... after dealing with tree hugging liberals for 5...
May want to do a bit more digging. Last I heard the rumor run around was a couple months back and turns out it was from an article from several years before. I don't know if this the same thing going around or if there have been new developments.
Also last time the Soros thing came up, I think...
Thanks Scotty. If I had just done only the slightest bit of research first, I would have seen that I can have Zeiss swap out turrets for me as well. The gun the conquest is going on is primarily a little critter getter. Between the RapidZ800 and the calculator on zeiss' site, I should be in good...
And Vince, I thank you. I'm an equal opportunity gun owner and although I'm mainly a shotgun feind, I have 2 ARs (one strictly for hunting & paper punching) that I love. It drives me nuts when the sporting clays types or bolt gun folks scoff at the AR and have the "let em take em away" mindset...
I have only one vortex and it is a crossfire (previous generation). I've done my fair share playing in the entry level optic segment and I have to say the crossfire has been a pleasant surprise, especially given the pricing available on em if a little searching is done. Hope the CF2 works well...
I certainly don't mean to turn this into a Leupold bashing fest, but to give a bit of history for me, as some can attest to, I am a tightwad. There are some that probably refuse to believe I even bought the Zeiss. But about 6-8 years ago, I owned nothing but crap scopes. I really didn't know any...
I saw Leupold mentioned a few times here. There is a reason the almighty "L" wasn't in the listed options.... I can't stand them! As far as I'm concerned, Leupold is waaaay overpriced at nearly every price point except for the upper tier stuff. Sure, their warranty and service is spectacular...
As it sets right now, I contacted Doug at CLNY to see what he can do for me on a Conquest with either a Rapid Z 1000 or 800 reticle. If that doesn't pan out, I am stuck with what to do for a second choice. I'm still on the fence with Vortex and Minox has performed well for me thus far but has a...
I'm starting to settle in on some scopes I wouldn't mind seeing on my varmint AR. I'm now trying to decide which route to go. Essentially, I want some thing with a low power of 3-5 and goes up to 14+. A 40mm bell minimum, but a 50 would be better. Some manner of long range reticle and a first...
I'm sort of in the same boat. For those in moderate to high population areas, check local forums. I recently found and joined a local forum based in the Boise area. I tend to scour it waiting for tips to be posted. Wed night someone posted that sportsman's had 22 bullets as well as 22lr ammo. I...
You might be right! But I'm not limited to ARs. I also shoot a T/C Encore for little whistle pigs and recently put together a bull barreled varmint AR to compliment my carbine. So far, it seems to be shooting as well as the T/C. I guess when I'm shooting at one of those little critters, I want...
