Nightforce 2.5-10 4Xmm obj, rangefinding, illuminated reticle. (can't remember model or price)
<100rds 7.62x51
Tango Uniform the scope shook itself apart on my Rem 700 LTR.
CHEAP ASS GLASS because it died a nasty death at a young age, BAD ASS GLASS because it was bright clear, sharp and had a great rangefinding reticle with 10" circles. haven't used the replacement much, but it's also bright, clear and sharp.
Nightforce replaced the optic. first time they replaced it, it didn't have a rangefinding reticle. sent the first replacement back and got one wth a mil dot reticle.
their CS was good, but took a while to get a proper replacement from them.
i have TWO other Nightforce Compact 4x optics (discontinued models) that cost under $200 each and haven't mounted them on anyhting yet. still NIB. shoulda bought more!!!
Leupold 2.5X Scout Scope
$250ish

bad ass glass, if it's what you need
Compact ACOG 2x $700
AMBER reticle SUCKS in the desert.
glass is clear.

Sightron SII 4-16x42
purchased used, can't remember the price.
can't remember the round count, but it's on a .22 bolt gun
BAD ASS GLASS
Weaver K4 (American made, steel tube)
ancient glass, still works well.
price- i think one was free and one was $30
no click adjustments... you just get to fiddle with the knobs, so it's zero it and leave it.
BAD ASS GLASS for the age and price, not so hot compared to modern lens coatings, click adjustments and other modern features.
multiple Varming Kong kills using one.
Unertl 2" 20x
@ 26" OAL it may be skinny, but it''s l-o-n-g!
EXTERNAL adjustments
price was CHEAP for what it is.
still works, just doens't get used much.
needs special bases only found on vintage target or varmint rifles.
Tasco 4-16x40 Varmint/Target
came my way as part of a trade, no way to determine my cost.
sat in a box for ten years, with a coat of rattlecan flat black on it from the DPO.
needed an optic for a new rifle, cleaned he paint off, got flip up sunshades and it works.
unknown round count. was on an AR previously, now on a Volquartsen.
will get replaced when i can afford a suitable replacement.
Springfield 3-9x56
made by Hakko, same house that makes Nighforce.
came mounted on an M1a, transfered to a HK91 but a shorter scope would work better.
reticle is cluttered
objective is HUGE.
works, but i'm not terribly impressed. would not have bought it if it dodn';t come mounted on a M1A that i got a good deal on.
Simmons 22 Mag 4x
CHEAP ASS GLASS purchased at WM about 17 years ago.
lasted thru a year or two of heavy use on a 10/22 before it shook itself apart.
got dumped in the trash after that.
20.000rds of bulk pack .22 (back when it was $8.88 a brick)
optic worked reasonably well for the low price and being run on a 10/22 before buffers were commonly available.
doesn't matter if it's cheap junk or hich end, they can all die, even if not abused. the difference was that one company warranted their discontinued product.
