WTH....Sorry to hear that...Do you get tweakers in your area following the UPS guys stop to stop?


Anything is possible.  I live on a cul-de-sac at the end of an island so there are a couple of bottlenecks to ingress/egress which really lowers the crime rate.  One of the reasons I live where I do.  Anything suspicious tends to stick out.

Any mounting system can loosen up.  Mount it securely, but check the mount screws/bolts after a range session...  :tup:
If it was easy, everybody would be doing it.

When Bernie Madoff did it, it's called a "Ponzi Scheme"
When Government does it, it's called "Social Security"

I love the scope. Optics are great and the RF is quick and accurate. It is a bit odd looking on a wood stock bolt gun, but its the performance a guy is after. I could Cerekote the whole set up :dunno:.
All in all, it was a great deal!

Yeah, it figures.  I knew I should have bought one. lol

I think one sitting atop something like a 223 bolt gun would make for a great little coyote setup.  Minimal recoil to give the mounting system fits.  Thanks for the reply.  Keeps us updated on how it does after more use.

It was earmarked for a Remington 700 in .308, but once mounted I had more of a chin weld than a cheek weld.  The integral mount is taller than it looks.  If you had a stock with a very high comb it might work.  Second choice was the LR-260.  Height is just right.  Close eyes, settle into the rifle, open eyes, and reticle is right there.  Been too busy hunting to sight it in (will go on Saturday) but the rangefinder is quick and accurate.

Found one for $399 + $9.95 shipping. Google and shop around boys. Cabelas is expensive.
I couldn't care less about what anybody says..............

ELKBURGER or fly-by, I understand this is nearly a year old thread but I was curious how these scopes have worked out for you now that you've got nearly a year of use with them.  Are you still using them or did they not work out so well after having them a few months???

Still have it, but haven't used it yet.  It was set aside for an 18" .308 AR build that was recently finished.

Just a question, no need to jump on me.  I always thought having electronics on your weapon was illegal in our state?  I remember a guy a while back had a flashlight on his bow and got in trouble.  Just a question not insinuating anything.

No, unless it is a laser, pointer style. Range-finder style are currently okay:

I'm kind of wishing I would have bought one of these things when they were $250 because I think it be handy little scope on my Sav. Bmag 17 WSM for shooting sage rats and or other little critters.

It is an awesome scope. I mounted mine on my M77 243. The only issue was the mounting.... I had to get an adapter for the ruger mount. It put the scope abit taller than I liked, and the adapter would not tighten adequately, therefore it wouldn't hold zero. Great scope for a rail platform rifle.
