Tract Toric 4-20 vs??

[skookum]

Buy with confidence. I bought one in MOA last spring after doing a lot of research and it's hard to beat for the price. I won't tell you the glass is on par with my Mark 5 like I have heard claimed but it is better than an NXS and definitely better than the Viper PST or the Huskemaws I have owned.
My biggest complaint is it does have limited elevation, about 60 MOA which on my 6.5 PRC will get me out passed 1200 yards. That being said, if Bushnell's upper tier scopes came in MOA I probably would have bought one. I just wasn't ready to make the switch to Mils.
I have put about 600 rounds through it on 2 different rifles and it has taken 3 deer this year.

I have several scopes from Leupold, Vortex, and Tract. I like them all and they all are slightly different. The Leupold are more compact, the Vortexes seem to give you a little more for the money and seem to have the best warrant, and the Tracts look to be more rugged and also give you your money's worth. If you don't already have a Tract, try to find some one who has one so you can look at it and get his opinion. I like all three. I don't have any high dollar scopes so I can't render an opinion on them, but you probably won't go wrong with any of them. Study their features and chose the one fits your criteria and hope for the best. Or do like why wife says; "Buy the most expensive one and you can't go wrong".

What about the new Vortex Razor LHT FFP 4.5-22? Capped windage locking elevation zero stop 21oz $1499MAP

I was going to recommend the same. For a 21oz scope, I was very impressed with the glass for my 300 wsm. I will be picking up another one soon.

Before I drop the money, what else should I be considering?

Arken....designed by a U.S. sniper....459.00...32 mil elevation 34 mm tube..I would have 10 of them if I lived South!

He wants a lighter scope. Those arken are pretty heavy.

The link you provided says the scope weighs 34 oz. I think some NightForces and Bushnell Elites might be in the same range. Possibly the Leupold Mk5's?

Looked at the mk5's…aren't they all SFP?

Nightforce SHV F1 is interesting…better? I think I didn't like the reticle. Max power too low….meh it is ok. The NX8 is close, but really out of reach.

I fear I can't even tell the difference from the PST GEN2's I love.

Bushnell's are close, but seem to be unobtainable right now…what gives?

4 ozs to save $ 800.00? Just thought I would put it out there...it's just equivalent to 2 shots of Rum....and the weight of Rum....I never noticed before!

The 21 oz razor lht 4.5-22x50 a few of us are recommending it quite a bit lighter though

He was saying under 32...but noted!

They are FFP except a 7-35x56 model.
Maybe you were thinking VX5?

Yep, I was…need to look again.

 

[nksmfamjp]

Night Force NX-8

Great optic, but a bit too much.

Is the Arken optically equal to the $1500 range scopes? I know it punches above it's price, but 300% higher?
