Still for sale at my local stores maby he could get one before there gone. had some of mine for probably 20 years.

Probably couldn't get one from there unless your local hardware store ships. Where they at?

This thread just gets weirder and weirder.

Back to topic though - anybody had any experience with the Sig scopes? I've found a decent deal on some and am curious as to their performance.

Sigs have had mixed reviews over pricing and where they are built. Like Vortex, some lines
come out of China. There is or was to be built a Sig optics plant in Oregon. On another note,
look up Trijicon and Sightron. If your really feeling foggy, Kahles, March, and Schmidt and Bender.

I would love a Kahles, or a NF. Or even a Revic, was able to use one a couple years back and it was nice. All of those are a bit far out of my current budget though. Found a Leupold VX-5HD from the local Sportsman's with the impact reticle I think I might go for.

I guess if I went off of experience I'd not get another Leupold. Had one that a turret broke. Sent it back and took almost 4 months for them to fix and return. I had to pay postage to them and was not reimbursed. This was in 1983, pistol scope on a TC Contender. Not more than 200 rounds through it when it broke.

But, I would probably buy another if they made one that fit my uses and budget.

OTOH I have a cheap Tasco that has been on several rifles over the past 30+ years and still works great. Right now it is on a .54 muzzleloader.

I like doing a lot of research when I am looking for a scope. That's why all the information on optics sources.

My engineering career was in high power lasers so optics were where I spent a lot of time. Modern machinery and materials processing has made the ability to produce really good optics available to just about anyone who wants to start up a business. IMHO, this is why China and the Philippines can produce some good glass.

[Rifleman#1]

well there you go from the expert buy a TASCO if it goes bad throw it away get another one used Bushnell Simmons Tasco they all work so this whole thing was for nothing!

[Rifleman#1]

Can’t go wrong with the Leupold VX line. Remember, the VX3 & VX5 are optically identical. Just offer 3:1 or 5:1 zoom. I believe them to be among the best HUNTING scopes. Every Leupold I’ve ever looked through was very nice....some were very, VERY nice!! I would LOVE to get into one of their Mark line.. Mark5 maybe. Just out of of price range, LOL! If you can swing the VX5, I say go for it! You won’t be disappointed.

[Rifleman#1]

amen to that cant go wrong there have one on my 1917 eddystone

Never made a suggestion, at all.

The Riton scopes look decent. However, I believe there are other options with as good to better quality, better features at around the same price point. They are owned by servicemen, which is cool.... Frankly I don’t really care as far as choosing a scope. Their scopes are STILL made in China like most in this price range. Although they make a point a point to stick in China OR JAPAN, “depending on price”.... What people don’t understand is this means the price it cost THEM! So I’m other words, ALL their scopes are made in China. Which is fine with me.....just not too fond of making a big deal about it being “Veteran owned”. But I guess if that is a big selling point to some, go for it!

I was a big fan of Nikon many years ago. They still make a halfway “decent” scope, but their better scopes are just WAY overpriced! Like the Monarch 7 for instance. Another issue is there is no way of keeping track of where it was made, and there have been some questions of their Warranty. Remember, NikonUSA doesn’t even MENTION their rifle scopes! Nikon is a CAMERA company which happens to sell rifle scopes. But if you happen to find one you like at a good price, have at it.

[charlie b]

Many Nikon's were good, but, as far as I can tell Nikon does not manufacture or support their rifle scopes anymore. A few folks who have claimed to try to get warranty work done have said that the company will not repair the scopes. Nikon offers them credit for any other Nikon merchandise. If anyone has any other current experience with them then please share it.

[Dave Hoback]

Exactly! Happened to WBM just last week!

So if you have a Nikon & something happens to it, you’re SOL! But hey.... you get a nice VOUCHER for something else THEY sell. Maybe a camera....or a nice lens? LOL, no thanks.

[Rifleman#1]

you all suck. no wonder its always you 4 giving input and nobody else regularly have to find a problem with what everyone says. piss up a rope. I figured it out finally your meager little life offers you nothing so you have to show how big (little men) you are on this web sight. great life guys hope your enjoying yourself. make a suggestion all of you find a problem with it **** off.

[trolson90]

Gentlemen, I truly appreciate the info and all the fact checking. It helped me narrow it down. Though if I thought I was going to find this much drama in a gun forum I would have just asked the question to my mom’s bingo club. At least then I’d have the pleasure of laughing in front of them haha.
Long story short, I ran down the local Scheels to do the swap since they make the Vortex warranty process so easy. They only had one Leupold VX5 and it had the Boone and Crocket reticle which I didn’t want. So I ended up with a NF SHV 4-14x50. I think I’m going to be pretty happy with this one. A little heavier than I would have liked but a few extra ounces on that Ultralite 28 Nosler will probably be helpful. It’s more of a truck gun than a pack gun anyway. That’s what the 6.5PRC is for. Again, I appreciate the help. And I’ll be praying for some of you. Just a little prayer at least.

[PhilC]

Think you will be very happy with the NF even if a tad heavier than desired. :thumb:
