Yeah like 2 or 3 really cool Counter Sniper military over run scopes (actual value $12,000.00)......

Most upper tier 1-4 scopes go for around a grand, some for a good chunk more, Eds 1-6 is unique, the glass and eye box are excellent , it's a true 1x at the low end and it comes with one of the most useable and easy to grasp reticles on the market.

I made this scope for the American Warfighter and as Americans we still tend to think in inches, feet and yards. I think the attempt to globalize the Americans to the Metric Mind has failed.

Actually it was. I've been working on this CRS project for several decades. My main SHTF rifle is a FAL, A long time ago when I bought this rifle there were no good SOLID scope mounts avalible for the FAL. SO I had one made that uses the QD scope rings from the Steyr SSG 69 sniper rifle. That mount was welded to my Fal upper reciever. It works great. This was my main test bed for the development of the CRS. I also modified a old leatherwood FAL scope mount so a ACOG could bolt directly to the scope mount. These were put into production by DSA and are still available from them for the FAL.

FYI
I will be at the Costa Mesa Ca gun show this weekend. I will have the 1-4 and 1-6 CRSs for sale.

Shot Show was very interesting. Several new 1-6 FFP Horseshoe reticle scope were shown. What's the saying imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

I would like to make a comment on this scope. Ed was nice enough to send me a demo to test out and I love it. Now, I am not anyone special or anything like that, but I was an Army sniper and have been in combat having to cope with multiple optics on multiple rifles. I have been searching high and low for a good "overall" optic that I can multi-task with. Mil dots are nice, very nice to have in a hide sight as a dedicated sniper system, but when hell breaks loose it is nice to have something that you don't have to grab a slide rule or start doing the worm method in your head to range targets on the fly in the middle of a patrol with. That is what Ed's reticle is built for. In something like this I do NOT want to be spinning target turrets and reading and comparing mils to target size. I want to engage the target and kill it.

I do own the 1-4X and while the reticle for me was right on the money I did have issues with the T lock and it keeping its zero, but the 1-6X is such a huge improvement over the 1-4X mechanically. It is built well and is a solid piece of kit. I was able to take my rifle out with this scope mounted, get it zeroed and run it through its paces. I did multiple quick engagement drills from different distances to include "I'm up, he sees me, I'm down" drills, or fire team rushes, and the optic was great, very quick to engage targets with, crystal clear, and with a generous eye box.

All of my drills were conducted in full gear (body armor, helmet, full combat load of ammunition, etc.) on varying terrain ranging from rocky areas, hills, trees, and depressions. The reticle was at no time any kind of hindrance, and actually led my eye nicely to the center mass position. I was able to quickly and accurately figure range using the reticle as well. Using something like this not only takes knowledge and familiarity of the provided marks, but also a healthy dose of common sense. Once you are used to it the range estimation comes fast and natural. The reticle was easy to see in bright sunlight and picked up on target very fast as said before.

I also had the chance to use this scope at night. I was unable to run it with NOD's as I just ran out of time, but I was able, while hunting on my property in Texas to quickly and accurately illuminate a fox with my surefire, range the animal, and dispatch it quickly with a single shot through the neck. The shot was about 75 yards and illuminated reticles on 6X was used. I wish I had had a switch view on it as it does take a bit more of thought power and dexterity than what I would like to change power, but with the addition of a switch view that should be easily done.

My one regret with this scope was the fact that I had to send it back to Ed when I was done. I do plan on purchasing one with a higher and cantilever bobro mount as the one that was provided was a little low for me and didn't quite take it out far enough unless I mounted it out far. Luckily my rail on my rifle extends the entire length of the rifle with no gap. Ed, this is definitely a keeper. Thank you for letting me try it out.

Based on the reviews, I'm going to just save up for the 1-6 X24. Had intended to jump on the 1-4 X 24 but it really sounds like the newer 1-6 is the way to go. Ya, it's a $1K+ pop but it's a damn nice piece of kit.

Ed, I went on active duty in the US Army Infantry in 1973 and all our known distance ranges then were in Meters. Our maps had 1 kilometer grid squares. I understand that most civilian ranges are still measured in yards, but the Military has switched to Meters as their preferred unit of measurement. I think your answer was kind of snarky considering these facts. I own a 1-4x24 CRS and am happy with it. But to jump on someone with a real question in this manner, makes me question if I should get another GRSC scope.

The only thing at this point holding me back from the. We 1-6 is the two year limited warranty. There are other scopes around this price point that are great quality and offer a lifetime warranty. Any thoughts on this?
