I have been in the market for a Mil/Mil scope for a couple months now( Finishing my first custom built rifle). I have been pouring over posts trying to settle on a one to buy. I have been leaning towards a Falcon Menace in 4x14. I have looked at the SS 3x9 but it is out of my price range. Does anyone have first hand knowledge of the Falcon or any other Mil/Mil in this range. This is my first post so please be easy on me.

Me personally I'd save another month or however long it takes to get the SS3-9, its that good. If your a member of snipershide they occationally run specials on there for members and you can get a little off the top.

This will be going on a 6.5 Creedmoor and I would like to reach out to 1000yrd. I wasn't' sure how doable that would be with a 3x9 and no parallax.

SVT,
Have you had a chance to look through a Falcon. How would you rate the glass against other scope lines. I love the SS 3x9, but I am also going to be using this to shoot prairie dogs and think the higher power would be better for the small targets at long range. |

If you're in Ft. Worth, you're plenty close enough to go over to the SWFA store. They'll let ya look through what they have and also be able to make suggestions. I have a Falcon Menace and like it a lot. I've heard durability and the 5 year warranty combine for folks being unhappy when the warranty runs out. To me if you put back 7 bucks a month for 5 years you can replace it with a new one if it breaks after 5 years. I've put about 250 rounds of .30-06 through my bolt gun the Falcon rides on. I've got it zero'd at 200 yards, and don't do a lot of playing with the knobs. I've had no issues at all with mine. |

If God didn't want me to play with it, he'd of made my arms shorter.
