A buddy of mine is in a golf tourney today but may make it up there with me tomorrow as well! Can't wait to meet ya! Mike Ed, My wife and I truly enjoyed talking with you today! You really opened my eyes on just how the reticle works. I can honestly say that actually being able to handle it and truly see how it works in action (albeit no rounds down range...Denver Police might have a problem with that  ) really does do it justice! I was VERY impressed at the ease of use. Simple, solid, not overly HUGE as some scopes can be.
The drill you had me go through keeping both eyes open and scanning the convention center for targets really is that simple. The bullet drop compensator portion is a breeze to see and makes it SOO much easier than other scopes I have seen. Another nice feature is from one to about 1.5x the eyebox is just about right. It is NOT a holographic image and people must understand that but for a Combat Rifle Scope....man it was fun! Hopefully I can get back up there with some buddies tomorrow! Thanks again for all the personal attention and giving us the rundown and philosophy of use!!! Cheers, Mike :) |

I get a lot of calls from people who would like to know how the impact points of other caliber rifles match up to my M4-62 BDC reticle. I only have 5.56 and 7.62mm rifles with 16 and 18 inch barrels.
Any input from shooters using other caliber rifles would be much appreciated. Thanks Ed Verdugo grscinc.com |

Ok, this is question is not to cause trouble, so please don't take it that way, but how does this scope compare to the SWFA SS HD 1-6? Thanks!

I have no experience with the GRSC, and no one has any experience with the SS 1-6 since it doesn't exist yet, but it sounds to me like the optics should be comparable. Obviously they have different reticles.

I have heard that both scopes are made by the same Japanese scope manufacture, if that is true the quality of scopes will probably be close. The price is close. The Norden Performance warranty is two years . Also upon inspection when you receive your CRS if your not satisfied you may return it for a refund. I don't know what the SFWA warranty is. Both scopes have ffp reticle. The big difference seems to be the reticle although they both seem to be intended for a similar purpose. I think some one who is looking at these two scopes or other scope should first evaluate their needs and pick a scope that best fills those needs. If you have not seen the videos on the NP web site I suggest you take a look at them. I may help you better understand the NP 1-6 CRS. FYI I will be at the Ventura Ca. gun show this weekend with the 1-4 and 1-6 CRS for demo and sale. Thanks Ed Verdugo grscinc.com |

I've been working on a new project. I'm trying to put together a scoped Zombie Apocalypse rifle. I'm referring to this as a Battle Carbine. I feel that a 7.62x51 Rifle with a 16 inch barrel and the 1-6 CRS would best fill this role. I've been able to get together with a group of guys to evaluate the following Battle Carbines.
FNFAL LMT MWS Rock River Elite Operator SIG 716 LWRC REPR FD Defence .308 (this rifle has a 17" barrel) Over the next couple of months I will be getting out with the guys and these rifles to put together some new videos and pictures of shot groups at different distances. At the end of my project I will give a evaluation of these Battle Carbines. Hope this goes well. I have already posted some shot group pictures of the FN FAL and LMT MWS. Here's some pictures with the SIG 716. Thanks, ED Verdugo grscinc.com

Made a quick trip to AZ on Friday to do some T&E on the LWRC REPR and the FD Defense 308. Was able to shoot from 100 to 574 yds. WE would have liked to have done more shooting but I ran out of daylight.
Hopefully we will be able to do a lot more shooting in the near future and then I will write up an evaluation for these rifles. " target="_blank">

Here are a couple pictures of the new FD- Deffence .308 that was used for the shoot in Arizona. In the near future I hope to test the 1-6 CRS on this and the other four Battle Carbines I mentioned in the previous post.
More to come, Ed Verdugo grscinc.com

STA I have been real busy these last couple of weeks and have not been able to get out to the range. So far I have only been out with the F&D one time but I was very impressed with the rifle. Hope to post more on this soon. FYI I will be at the Ventura gun show this weekend at the Ventura fairgrounds in Ca. I will have the 1-6 CRS on hand for demo and for sale. The 1-4 CRS's are sold out and have been discontinued. Hope to see some of you guys there. Thanks Ed Verdugo grscinc.com |

Thanks Ed. Does it matter that there is a gap from the knob to the lever? By the way, I was shooting balloons on a line at 130yds up a steep hill with my 1-6x24 GRSC CRS. I have never had any formal "scope" training and I was able to zero and maintain 1/2 inch groups @ 100yrds. This scope is incredible! Everyone wanted to shoot and after 10secs of explaining the sight picture they were dead on!

The gap does not affect anything in a negative way. I think the lever is to tall as it can snag on your LBE gear. I have heard MGM is now making that unit with a shorter lever. I think that would be better in the field. I like the looks of your rifle. Provided it is reliable and accurate it looks like a good set up for a .308 rifle. Ed Verdugo grscinc.com |

Lots of talk on the internet about low powered scopes with lack of daytime bright illuminated reticles. Here is a video demo of the 1-6 CRS at 1x with the the illumination on and off. Targets are black on a black background. GRSC/Norden Performance video demo 5 Thanks Ed Verdugo grscinc.com |

I got out to the range a couple of times last week with the Sig 716. I have been very impressed with the performance of this rifle when used with the 1-6 CRS. It has been 100% reliable and with good ammo it will consistently group right about 1moa at 100 yds. Here are some pictures of the groups I shot.
FYI I will be at the Ventura Calif gun show this weekend and I will have the 1-6 CRS for demo and for sale. I will also have a LWRC 16" sprial fluted barrel REPR and a LMT 16" CL barreled .308 MWS for sale. Hope to see some of you there. Ed Verdugo grscinc.com |

Been using your 1-4 for a while now and it's been working out great!
Thanks Ed. If I go on another deployment to afghanistan I'll bring this. 
The 1-6 looks great. |
