This month's award goes out to the Burris Xtreme 6-24, for its thoughtful combination of Fine Plex reticle (no pesky dots to get in the way) and 1-MOA elevation turrets:

If they offer it, there must be some demand for it (which baffles me).

If anyone from SWFA reads this: does this scope sell well?

One moa clicks and a fine plex sounds like a hundred yard .22 scope to me.

It says "tactical" right there on that yellow thing over the scope.

No hatred here, just amusement...and, hopefully, a little "light gathering."

RC, if you could afford and would bother to invest in any decent optics, like, uhmm, a Hensoldt, you would appreciate the difference a really good scope can make. :-)

another really interesting feature, at least of the one I looked at, has the illumination turn on/off knob located on the tip end of the AO knob. It was almost impossible to turn the ao whichout turning on/off the illumination. The glass was't that bad though.

Again, Y'all ain't right!    But funny as all get out!!!



Stickbow46 go wash your mouth out! BSA! An Hensoldt should not be used in the same sentence.
