So, how's the horus vision scope. Did it perform as well as stated or did you get the leupold? Just wondering, as I am looking at getting one, the Raptor.

I have 3 8.5-26-50mm Predator scopes. 2 on 22-250's and the other over a 6mm Rem. they are excelent scopes for predator hunting, the reticle in them is in true moa with 1/8" cliks. hold over on targets to 800 yards is no problem and i have shot groups to 1000 yds with the 6mm.
I also have 2 of the 4-16-50mm falcon's. (last Years model), 1 on a Rem 700 300 Win mag, The other on a custom 700 .338 Edge built by Shawn Carlock. I have had great success with these scopes. had to replace bases on the edge as the original leupold bases would not handlethe recoil from the EDGE. now have steel Weaver style bases on it with Burris Signature insert rings. no problems now. I have just pulled the 4-16-50 from the Edge and replaced it with the new 5-20-50mm Falcon from Horus. have not had opportunity to shoot past 200 yds since the new scope mounting.
THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE HAD WITH ANY HORUS SCOPE IS WHEN MOUNTING ALL HAWK AND FALCON MODELS (I HAVE SOLD 6 HAWKS, & 2 FALCON'S BESIDES THE 3 I HAVE) WHEN LEVELING CROSSHAIRS TO A RIFLES ACTION THE RETICLES WILL NOT ALIGN USING CALDWELL'S LEVEL,LEVEL, LEVEL'S. THESE SCOPES HAVE BEEN MOUNTED ON CHRISTENSEN ARMS 300 RUM'S, BROWNING A-BOLT ACTIONS. WINCHESTER M-70'S 300 WIN MAG, 1HAWK ON WEATHERBY MARK 300 WTHRBY MAG, AND REM 700'S IN 300 WIN MAG. TO GET CROSSHAIRS LEVEL TO ACTION A PLUMB BOB SET ABOUT 25/40 YARDS FOR CRADLE HOLDING RIFLE IS WHAT WORK'S FOR ME. I MAKE SURE THE VERTICAL CROSSHAIR IS ON THE VERTICAL PLUMB BOB LINE. DOIN THIS I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM.
A LEVEL LEVEL JOB WILL HAVE CROSSHAIRS CANTED OFF TO THE LEFT FORM .5 TO A FULL BUBBLE OFF. CLIK ADJUSTMENT HAVE WORKED CORRECTLY AND TRACK ACCURATLY ANY ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SCOPES.I HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBLEM WITH ELEVATION OR WINDAGE ADJUSTMENTS, FOCUS, OR POWER RING AND /OR PARRELLAX ADJUSTMENTS ON ANY HORUS SCOPE THE I HAVE MOUNTED AND SOLD TO CUSTOMERS OR MOUNTED FOR MY OWN USE.
IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A LONG RANGE SCOPE I BELIEVE A HORUS WILL BE AS GOOD A VALUE AND AS GOOD AS QUALITY AS THERE IS AVAILABLE ON THE MARKET TODAY.
YOU MAKE YOUR CHOICE, SPEND YOUR MONEY AND LIVE WITH THE RESULTS. ..

GOOD LUCK

Thanks for the info on the HV. I saw these scopes at the Shot Show and thought they were a really unique reticle design that seemed to work.

I have a Horus Vision Predator on a Savage Model 12 .204. I popped a prarire dog at 580 yards with my chart and the reticle. I am by no means an accomplished rifle shooter. Works great for me.
