Nitrex scopes

Anyone using one?
What do you think of it?

Haven't used one, but they are made by Weaver. Natchez was having a closeout on them, might be able to get into one for a good deal.

I got one in the 2-10x50. I love it. It looks the same physically as the Weaver Super Slam. For the price it is an awesome buy. You can get them from Natchez at a reduced price plus the rebate. The turrets are really cool too. They are a lockable exposed turret. Pull it up/out to make your adjustments press it back down/in to lock that adjustment in place. A really neat feature.

I ordered one of these from Natchez Thursday.

Picked out the 6-20x50 tr1 for $199, minus the $50 rebate for a total price of $149!

Finding information on these has been pretty tough but most everything I've read is positive. The only negatives I've read so far is the relatively short eye relief and only 30 moa of internal travel. The glass quality is supposed to be very good but the limited travel will restrict this scope to 500 yards and under.

This scope will replace a simmons 4-12x50 prosport so it should be a nice upgrade. I figure for $150 I can take a chance. The alternative was going to be a $99 Vortex Crossfire from swfa.

I will post some feedback after I take it out.

My Nitrex TR1 6-20x50 came in yesterday. Initial impressions are positive. The scope is large. Eye relief seems pretty good. The cross hairs are very fine. The turret clicks are good, no mushy feeling. It will be a couple of weeks before I get to the range. Here are a couple of photos.

I looked all over for a photo of the turrets but couldnt find one. Here's my contribution :)

I'll try to remember to bring a camera to the range and grab a couple shots through the scope.
