Thread: Buyers Remorse

What about scopes....

vortex viper HS great build but less than average optics
vortex PST 4-16 couldnt see rabbits at 16x power I could see with my 8x binos
Bushnell Elite 4.5-30 dissapointing past 20x
Clearidge 4.5-22 better than the Bushnell...
Sighton S-Tac 4-20 should have known better at US $350
Meopta HTR 6.5-20 Well Meopta sure know how to f..k up one of the best scopes out there!
Zeiss Conquest HD5 5-25 HD yeah right...optics on par with the old MC but tunnel view, dumb zero stop, 5 oz heavier

The only one I'm happy with so far is my Conquest MC 6.5-20 with the No 20 reticle. But I have a second one with No 43 reticle that does not focus as sharply! and sent a third one back that also didnt focus properly and had a foreign object inside it!.

Probably going to regret the Nikon X1000 I have just ordered as well...when will I lean...never as you just have to take a punt because you cant trust anyone of the manufacturers to deliver what they promise and its almost impossible to actually go into a gunshop in NZ and try before you buy with optics.
