    Since the topic of scopes came up earlier

    Anyone interested in a couple scopes I have for sale? First is a vortex crossfire II 4-12 (AO) with rings for $180 and the other is a Bushnell trophy 6-18x50 with aero spr mount for $200. The vortex is brand new and will come with the box and Ive had the busnell for a while but it was one my 6.5 grendel that I sold but will come with the box too. I'll get pictures tonight when I get home.

    Pics of the bushnell at least

    A few audio upgrades, tinted windows, remote start because it f'n hot in Texas! 6in Fabtech DB lift, 17x9 Fuel Trophy wheels, 315/70/17 Duratracs,BAMF 80in sliders w/kickout, Prinsu cab rack w/30in Heretic light bar, custom bedside decals, custom hi-lift jack brackets, US Offroad front bumper w/winch, bed rack with RTT, CB, Short wave base station, Ultra gauge, color matched grille surround, an ungodly amount of recover gear, ARB fridge, hood struts, RotoPax, traction pads.
    So how do you like the scope? I have a precision rifle that I'm trying to figure out what optic to but on it. I'd like to shoot between 200-1000 yards and want the flexibility on the optic to do the same. I hate having to change scopes out!

    It’s a great scope in my eyes, really like it, great adjustability and easy to look through

    Cant beat vortex warranty and all depends on how much you want to spend on an optic. If youre looking to get into the long range game and dont want to spend $500+ on glass then either one of those scopes would work. The Bushnell would definitely help you see out to 1000 yards a lot more than a 12 power scope. I would use the crossfire II for 5-700 yards anymore than that and you'll have trouble seeing. If you havent shot past 500 most ranges require that you qualify with the RO before going any farther. If you have land then it's even more important to practice within 500 before going further out. Everyone wants to get into LR shooting but it's not something you do over night. It take a lot of practice and discipline and the right equipment to get those long shots.

    tldr; Either is great for getting into LR shooting. Vortex - great warranty, this scope is good for 500-700 yards max. Bushnell - Great for longer distances not so much close up. Oh and dont shoot out to 1000 yards if you are just starting out because you need to practice.

    Thanks for the tips. Give me first shot at the scopes. I'll doing some research when I get off work.

    You got it brother! I'll give you 24 hours to decide. If someone is interested in that time I'll have them wait until tomorrow after that it'll be first come first serve.

    For all I know the high powered air rifle got you giddy.

    That being said. I have seen that dudes air rifle setup in many a promo photo for Hill People Gear.
    Never knew the sight on it was so damn expensive.
    Wonder what the rifle costs.

    Edit: Holy bat balls batman!!

    Personally, I’d look into at least the pst2 in mil/mil. Similar but better.

    You’d be able to shoot 25y- to as far as your cartridge can handle.

    I’ve had a lot of good scopes. Actually have one. They are cheap and have good features.

    I’m swapping parts to different projects tonight. Finishing a Noveske SPR (special purpose rifle) and the lower for a hunting rifle.

    Out of curiousity, is it cool for guns or parts to be posted for sale on here :spy:
