I think you'll be very happy with it. There's a huge price gap in the market between the SS 3-9 and other FFP mil/mil scopes that I recently considered. I just wasn't comfortable with IOR (which has some scopes in between price-wise). I think it says a lot about the SS 3-9 that you have to spend 3-4X as much to get a scope that surpasses it. And even then, there are some trade-offs, like doubling the weight. ]]> Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:28:26 +0000 http://www.opticstalk.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=20237&PID=256890#256890 Rifle Scopes : Redfield scopes on SWFA web site http://www.opticstalk.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=20450&PID=256889#256889 Author: HOLLOWPOINT

I don't think any lenses are made in the USA period. 
 
What a bummer! Really Sad

Thanks in advance

I can't accurately answer this question without looking at the scopes side by side and I do not have them in front of me.  If my recollection is correct, the reticle on the Elite 6500 appeared a bit bigger and bolder than in the Elite 4200 at the same magnification.  The way the reticle appears is a combination of the actual dimensions, field of view, eye relief, etc, so it is somewhat subjective.

There was never any mention of former President Bush ever being there. It doesn't suprize me that there was no mention, or that he was there.Salute]]> Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:03:48 +0000 http://www.opticstalk.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=20198&PID=256882#256882 Almost Anything Goes : Happy Birthday, David! http://www.opticstalk.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=20441&PID=256881#256881 Author: BeltFed

When my friend had his tank (M5A1 Stuart) we reloaded for it. The most expensive component was the powder (M6 cannon powder). Since he had a machine shop and made his own projectiles, the only real cost was the steel and brass stock. He had a military crimper that crimped everything from 20mm to 90mm, we called it the Lee loader for cannons. The main gun was a 37mm and it was a blast to shoot, although I don't think we would try skeet since we couldn't find any canister rounds.
