New toy, T-minus 9days... .416 Barrett
No idea which scope I plan on getting - but, there she is... ...also, if you have ammo that might be interested in sharing, selling or telling me how I get it - I am all ears... well, eyes - being a forum and all... Last edited by plaingod2; 02-11-2009 at 12:09 AM.. |

I got a great scope on Ebay - too many people are worried about a nic or scratch on a scope housing, and too many Ebay sellers don't understand the importance of the "sizzle" that a good pic can offer. I got a B&L Elite 4000 6-24x40 for $193 shipped - pic had some nics and scratches, but a little spray paint covered that but quick. The glass is spectacular, and for what I paid I couldn't be happier. That isn't to say that you should jump on a scope on Ebay, but don't be overly-risk averse as you'll pass up a lot of great deals. |

Yes sir, B&C A5. Waiting for parts to come in was a freaking nightmare.

Keep an accurate round count on that scope so you know how many rounds it took to go down.

LOL, I have high hopes on this 3rd gen. Would've gotten the NF but I don't like the rotating eyepiece.

I hope they get it right.
It would be a kick-arse scope if they could get them to stay together.

It should hold to the .308. If it dies, Monarch X will be my next option.

You want that scope to sit down close to the barrel.

Most last 40-100 rounds before dying. If you make it past 500 rounds without problems, it's a good one and will probably last a long time.

I lost faith on the FFP, I'm gonna upgrade or should I say downgrade to the SFP Illuminated.

Yup - waiting on the new ones to come in. They account for the high-cheekrest position as well.
The ones in the pic are surplus non-name units I had lying around. Had a chance to shoot her today with what was installed and figured WTH. |

I wonder if the NF's FFP version also encounter these problems. I'm done with FFPs, I also had another FFP scope from another company that broke down from a .223 rifle, but that one lasted 1.5k~2k+ rds.

It's the design and construction. The high end scopes with FFP don't seem to have any more problems than the high end scopes with SFP. The 3-18x42 IOR was just a problem child from the start. What was your other FFP that died?

My other FFP scope was a Chinese brand Vector Optics. My Meopta and Bushnell are SFPs and have been solid so far. I gotta say though that the Meopta's glass is as good as the IORs. -

THAT is probably why the FFP models are so unreliable. A proper FFP scope will be designed that way from the start, not adapted. The Chinese scope, well, it's a chinese scope...

Gotta pay to play. Seekins makes a DBM for 223 as well. Don't know what it runs, but it may be an option for you.
