The Official 1-4X Scope Thread

[MCTRV]

I got in on the SWFA 1-6X HD group buy . Really like the reticle & its not that heavy for being built like a tank. Take your time & get what you want or you will have regrets.

Is this group buy still on?

I think it was a pre release deal, which has long since passed.

Check out samplelist.com though they sell demo models at very competitive pricing, it's owned by swfa

I was able to pick up a Trijicon 1-4 (TR24R) for a reasonable price. I am very happy with it.

Anyone try this?

How distracting is the fisheye effect at 1x? Seems like a great purchase for the money... just worried that I'll be disappointed by the glass. Let us know what you think after a range session!

Any opinions on Leupold VX-6 multigun? I have an Eotech Exps 3-0. I like 65 moa circle on Eotech. I like being able to do some rudimentary ranging with SPR reticle. People are complaining about 2.5 mil reticle on SPR, but the manual seems like it can still be used as BDC for 5.56. Not sure what zero they are using in manual. Maybe 2.5 mils not precise enough for for head shots, but I would think it's good enough for body shots. SPR meant as fast reticle.

Opinions?

Also, is it worth paying the extra $$$ for VX-6 over VX-R Patrol?

I probably won't get Vortex Razor HD2 because I want some ranging ability. I shoot practical carbine matches and want to be able to shoot out to 600 yards, if necessary. Don't shoot 3 gun yet. Probably won't get SWFA SS because of weight and want day light capable dot at 1x.

I have heard good things about Bushnell 1-6 too, but SPR reticle seems to balance quickness with some ranging and BDC ability.

Thoughts? And where can I hold one before buying?

VORTEX 1-4 PST MOA

Ordered this through Amazon this last Sunday as used @399 (supposedly used) -w- free shipping from camera land, inc.. This was delivered on Tuesday. This optic actually is new IMO -w- everything intact (may have been a display). With the Vortex unconditional, any problems, no worry.

So not sure where I read the post on this buy but I started reading on this thread; thanks to whomever posted the heads up. Saved 100 plus the free shipping; Happy Happy Happy.

I certainly hope your grammar is better than his. Sounds like college is really paying off for him. :what:

I have the Nikon P223 3x32 and I love it. It is a great short to mid range scope. It is bright and easy to acquire my targets.

I'm about to order the Viper PST very soon so I can play.

I've heard this from a lot of happily satisfied owners.

How is it from 5 feet out to say 25 yards? Can you find the target quickly enough? Any parallax?

 

[TEN-X]

I am surprised no one mentions the Weaver Tactical 1-5X, ( not the Chinese Kaspa). The glass is Japanese. This is a first focal plane scope with an illum. reticle, (red & green). It lists for about $1000, but Midway has them for $669. The clarity of this scope is comparable to my $1400 IOR Valdata 1.5-8X. I have had this scope for about a year and the only issue is the reticle is not very visable in bright sunlight, but you can see it fine in black without the light. I wish they would have lit it red only, with more power settings. I used this scope in a three gun match at Acaemi in NC and everyone that looked through it was impressed.

I think the Leupold VX Hog is the route I'm going to go for my 6.8 deer rifle. It gets great reviews everywhere I look, but I'm concerned about the thickness of the cross hairs. Has anyone use one of these? If so what are your thoughts?

Hmmm...this thread is relevant to my interests.

I'm looking for a "compromise" optic that will be good for precision out to, say 300 yards and also be functional for 3 gun use. I'm looking at....

MRAD
TR24-3G (used)
Viper PST
Leupold VX-R Patrol FireDot (used)
SWFA 1-4
Leupold Mk 4 1.5-5 M2 SPR

Now, the Trij, SWFA, and Leupys are above my budget $500-ish, so I might offer trades to balance it out.

Thoughts?

Primary arms 1-6X it's pretty nice for what you pay. I like mine.

I've got one and I really like it. So far all is good. The only thing is is that the 1X is not a true 1X like through an Aimpoint. With both eyes open it's a little bit magnified and disorienting.

Look at the Burris MTAC 1-4x24 ($399 or less)( or the 1.5-6x40 same reticle and price). The BDC dots are spot on with cheap Walmart 55g Fed .223 out to at least 500 yards. I consistently get first round hit at 300y in 3-gun with no problem. Either you like the reticle or you don't. I like it because it doubles as a red dot at close range, enough so I took my Dueck offset irons off completely.

Did anyone else take advantage of the SWFA Tax Day Sale? I ended up getting a SWFA SS 1x6 for $799. I believe the 1x4 version was $650.
