Doesn't feel right posting in this thread with all these other super nice optics but here's what I've got. I suppose it fits though since it meets the $1k minimum. EOTech Vudu 5-25 with MD3 reticle mounted in Seekins rings on an Aero Precision 6.5 Creedmoor.

Every cloud has a silver lining (except for the mushroom shaped ones… which have a lining of Iridium and Strontium 90)

The EOTech Vudu line is just as worthy to be featured in this thread as any of the others. They are quality optics worthy of consideration and respect. While EOTech as a whole is fairly new to the rifle scope market, the introductory models are very well made with excellent quality glass and great overall performance. I definitely wasn’t hinting that it’s not a nice optic or taking anything away from it. Great glass for the money and really has a lot going for it. I guess I was just saying it’s not as proven as others at this point and others in this thread have much higher price tags. Steiner Militarys, Schmidts, ATACRs, REAP-IRS, etc. |

Nevertheless, I think the Minox ZP5 w/ MR5 would still be a very nice addition.

Why don't more companies make mid-power 3-12 or 3-15 power scopes? Like you I am a huge fan of Horus reticles (the H59 being my preference), but the Minox MR4 reticle isn't a bad option, it's just too bad they don't put it in the 3-15. Even the MR10+ (which I have im my ZP8) would be a better reticle than the MR5 in the 3-15 (IMO). I feel like they really missed the mark on reticle options with the 3-15, if it had better options I probably would have skipped the ZP8 for my .308 gas gun; I am not as into the 1-8X thing as I had though I would be.

Originally Posted By Blackfoot_7: I appreciate the heads up. Not in the market for a new optic right now though. Wish I could, but I've got a pot of disposable funds in reserve for something I'm anticipating come around Shot 2019 time. I think the 3x - 18x (everything in between) occupy a great focal range that is the Medium Power Variable Optic (MPVO) space, and agree that the world would be better served with more options available. Looking forward to seeing what pics you throw up on the wall. Back to photos... Vudu 3.5-18 H59 reticle. Functionally and optically I can only say good things so far. Like I've already said, I'd love locking turrets. Aesthetically the scalloping and old school looking tall and skinny turrets aren't my cup of tea; I have to assume the simple turret design helps keep the cost down so they can focus on good optics and great build quality. The push button illumination is something I was skeptical about, but have come to like.

Just personal experience/opinion but if you're shooting with holds 10X-12X is sufficient out to 1000 meters for silhouette; even with 300 WINMAG if you're shooting with holds on an H59 you'll have to back the power out at 1000-1200m. I have never "needed" more than 20X for practical shooting, even beyond 1500 meters. If you want to shoot itty-bitty bench-rest groups then maybe the higher magnification is needed. Back to photos...

Attached File Attached File I also like Atacr’s. This was a 4-16 H59 in a NF mount. The rifle has a Mega set, 6.5 CM barrel I cut, SD-E, JP lightweight BCG, JP SCS, etc. The scope was sold and turned into a NF SHV F1 and a NX8. I ended up selling the barrel out of the rifle, as soon as I get some free time I’m going to pull the 6 SLR barrel off my bolt gun, rechamber it to 6 Creed, and put it in this rifle. Here’s one of the replacement scopes, a NF SHV F1 in a NF mount on a .224 Valkyrie I built on a Bartlein blank. I’m posting this from a deer stand with my younger son, he’s trying to kill a deer with it on youth day. Attached File |

The QC barrel feature on the new ones is definitely a level up when it comes to simple barrel swaps. I feel like a gunsmith when I do it the old fashioned way, though. Pic thread:

New NX8, just mounted it up. This may be the cheapest rifle in this thread, my rifle/optic cost ratio is a little off! It’s just temporary until I get the new rifle built. Attached File |
