Trijicon®, Inc. Goes Long-Range with TARS™ High-Performance RifleScope

But to say you can't use that principal with an FFP scope is misguided IMO.

I didn't say it man, you did!!! you said you still prefer SFP for varmints. I take that as smaller targets than like deer or elk.

My origional post was in referance to a FFP scope and only 15X being used for long range. Then you copied me and read into it what you wanted to preach about.

See ya

Yes, I said I prefer SFP for varmints. But I don't think this scope has that intended use. and varmints are usually 2-3 inches back to belly. Compare that with elk which may measure from 24-30 inches. Now compare the above examples to the reticle thickness. Again, a night and day difference! Not comparable IMO nor should they require similar equipment.

Sorry I misunderstood your comments. I will stop step away from the pulpit.

But they do require similar equipment Scott. Especially if the gopher is 400 yards and the elk is at 1200. This is what I mean. You said you like the target growing in size and reticle not, for varmints. I said I like the same thing for long range elk.

I repeat what can this Trijicon tactical scope do that my Weaver Tactical can't ? Mine $750 as opposed to $ 4,000 bucks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Get a military contract

Nice come back.

Iron Worker,
If that model Weaver has glass as good as an IOR then it is steal of a buy for $750, especially if it's FFP mil/mil. I had an IOR and it had some of the best glass I've looked through. If it only wouldn't have fallen apart every trip to the range. The Weaver I have now is pretty decent.

 

[Iron Worker]

I had the IOR 2.5x10x42 it was great but I wanted more power. The weaver is mounted on my AR-15 flat top and is Bad to the Bone !

@Bravo 4,

Was your IOR a first gen? What type of rifle did you have it on? Just curious, I have an IOR first gen "Flea" scope 3-18x42 and with my 6.5 swede I have put well over 2k rounds down range and I have never personally had a problem. That being said, I know that the first and second gen scope DID have some problems. I have heard over and over again that by gen 3 those problems were nearly all gone, and now with gen 4+ they are rock solid.

Love the glass in my IOR!

I think mine was a Generation 3 or 4 I had zero problems with it. But didn't like the 1/2 MOA clicks. Thinking back the IOR glass might be a little bit better then my Weaver . Even if I was a millionaire I wouldn't buy that $4,000 dollar Trijicon. Price on a NSX nearly gags me.

GEN 2, 3-18 FFP mil/mil, 12.5lb .338 Edge w/brake
I heard on lesser rifles D) they would hold up. On larger cal rifles, especially with brakes, they went down quite regularly. Like I've said before- the greatest scope that never was.

 

[diriel]

Heh, just a wee bit of a 338 Edge ... That would certainly weed out any pesky bugs!

Can't think offhand what the 1/2 clicks IOR would have been, but I am pretty sure the 35mm tube 3-18's were all 1/4 or CM click values. Anyhow glad to hear your like the Weaver, some nice prices on those. **** tempting!

And you would be correct, an angle of 0.1 milliradians is an angle which subtends an arc whose length is 1 centimeter at a distance of 100 meters.
Like I said mil/mil.

 

[diriel]

Iron was saying his IOR was 1/2 per click and he had problems with zero. I was trying to think which models had the 1/2" is all. I should have been more clear my bad

Gary

 

[Bravo 4]

Nope, my bad! After rereading I see my error.

No no I meant I had zero problems with the scope,meaning no problems at all. What I didn't much care for is one click on the scope meant 1/2 in at 100 yds . It was a SFP Mil/MOA scope. My Weaver is a FFP MIL/MIL scope.

 

[diriel]

Ahhh Whoops Yes I avoid 1/2" clicks. My original "Flea" scope is the Mil / 1/4" and I have long since decided my next scope will be Mil / Mil or Moa / Moa... and FFP as I am lazy and do not care to do the extra conversions.

Have a good one!
