UPDATE:
Got one on the way! Will mount it up and give a full review as soon as we "wring it out" :wink:
Its here!
Omg now I can plainly see what everyone is raving about; Rugged built , Great Reticule, Snappy turets with nice loud audible clicks. And Optically the eye relief, edge to edge crispness , and overall clarity is very Leupold Vx3ish.
How they build these down at this price point, is a mystery. I have a Vortex Viper PST ($900)in here on a customers rifle, that is NICE; and in A quick comparision last evening, And the Vortex is better but only by a whisker; you need to look darn close to see anything, If the Vortex is 5% better optically, that's a streach, that's all you could give it. How the LoneStar will hold up after a thousand twists on the turrets is anyone's guess? From what I see here if the Vortex was same price I would buy it, but it is most certainly NOT $600 better
Optically it just isn't there IMHO :? If your looking at getting into a FFP scope to go long out past 500 yds,Look no father, grab one of these asap!
They have a transferable ,unconditional lifetime warranty! This is exactly what the good Doctor ordered!
Anyway we trued up a set of 30mm; 'Grand Slam'rings yesterday; and mounted up the LoneStar scope onto the Tikka 6.5x55 to go loooooong. Sweet set up, I thought it makes a very sharp, clean installation!
Here it is/
