    Best Optics for .243 in Northwoods for Deer

    Another good reason for a little more magnification 9,12,16 power would be making the .243 your varmint gun too. I have shot 55 gr projectiles out of my .243's for a long time. 3900+ fps, and they get the job done once deer season is over. A lot of Black Friday sales coming up, check out some...

    Best Optics for .243 in Northwoods for Deer

    If you're looking at a good entry-level optic that won't break the bank, I think the Riton Optics 1 Primal 4-12X50 will fit all your needs. I have done a lot of timber hunting, and having the 50mm obj is a great advantage for low-light situations. I have this scope on a .308 Win, and I couldn't...

    What's the Difference in Glass

    I agree with most of the comments. You don't ALWAYS get what you pay for when it comes to name-brand products. You pay a premium for their name and reputation on your optic. You have to decide if it's worth it or not. The cheapest isn't always the best, but having a company that stands behind...

    What's the Difference in Glass

    There is some great information and, best of all, non-biased and straight shooting. Price is the big factor in lens coatings and where the product is made. I added a Riton Optics 3 Primal 3-18X50 to my .300 WinMag rifle, and at under $600 (got it on sale), I am very pleased. It has a lot of the...

    Ruger 10/22 heavybarrel and Riton 1 Primal 4-12X50

    So thankful I have 2 of these 10/22's. My son and I had many a timed competition dropping steel targets at varying distances. I had both barrels threaded for more quiet fun. I recently topped one with a Riton Optics 1 Primal 4-12X50 scope. For sub-$300 I am impressed with the brightness and...

    Arken SH4 or ???? For rimfire build

    I jumped on the Riton bandwagon. I know there's a number of guys who have their products and are pleased. They just had a big 40% off sale on their 2022 riflescopes. I took advantage of it and scooped up a few mounts. Any questions give them a call, they are quick to respond and doing what it...

    Meopta Optika 10x42 HD

    I do some freelance work for Meopta and I can assure you from my own experiences that you will not be disappointed by the Meopta Optika6 HD bino. I have been using a pair off and on for a year now and zero issues. From being strapped to a tractor while plowing/planting to hiking/4-wheeling while...

    22lr scope suggestions.

    OHI, I have never had an issue with Nikon's PROSTAFF Target EFR reticle disappearing while squirrel hunting in wooded areas. I zero for 75 yards so my adjustment is about 1.5 high at 50 and 3.5 low at 100. This holdover/under is easy with this scope. I shoot suppressed supersonics too.

    Looking For Help With Info On This Vintage Nikon Pistol Scope

    No reason to send it in unless something is wrong with it. Mine is older than yours and I just didn't use it anymore which is why I gave it to a buddy. If something goes wrong Nikon will take care of you. They stand behind what they make which helps with brand loyalty. Get out to the range and...

    Looking For Help With Info On This Vintage Nikon Pistol Scope

    Honestly, it doesn't really matter what year it was made, if it fogs up or goes down, Nikon will take care of it. I shot the doe at 80 yards and my buddy used the handcannon .308, to take that buck at just under 200. It was a nice poke and I was backing him up. With the recoil, it is hard to...

    Looking For Help With Info On This Vintage Nikon Pistol Scope

    I had that same scope on a Ruger Super Redhawk 44mag back in the mid 80's I believe. Found it last year and gave it to a buddy who was looking for a scope for his Ruger MK II. It is a nice scope, Nikoplex reticle parallax corrected for 100 yards. I took 2 Management doe in E. Oregon with mine. I...

    Need a cheap scope for my kid’s first deer rifle.

    I put a PROSTAFF 4-12 BDC on my Father In-Law's .308 and he went from averaging 1 deer per box of shell's to not missing a deer or expending more then one shot the last 5 years, 12:12 in fact including 2 nice KS buck's. Definitely worth it and knowing it's Nikon's glass and reputation standing...

    Nikon P-223 scope mounting issue

    It should fit without shims or anything extra. I would just tighted the rail screws down as much as you can get them. It's sized for a picatinny rail so unless there's an issue with your rail it should work just fine. Post a pic if you can't get it to work so we can see if there's something you...

    Nikon scopes these days?

    Another option from Nikon is their new BLACK X1000 scope. 30mm tube and comes with either a MARD/MOA turret/reticle. I have been dialing ths scope for a while and it has true clicks and no trouble returning to zero. Mine have the illuminated reticle option too. All for under $650.
