The Viper PST Gen2 has been redesigned. Very few people have their hands on one since they only recently shipped pre-orders. You cannot compare a PST to a HST yet alone a PST Gen2. The PST Gen2 is also 3x the price of a Hawke Sidewinder so that's not even a fair comparison. I had the PST...

You might want to rethink this idea unless you have $1-2K+ laying around. I wouldn't go cheap on rangefinder binoculars. Plus almost all of them are large size binoculars to have the rangefinder feature in them. You're better off using a dedicated pair of binoculars and a carry a compact...

A .25 Cricket is a long bullpup. It looks funny with a Bulldog stock. They no longer make the extended Skeleton stock so my pick would be the current Extended stock they have for the .25.

On a long bench rest rifle, the length and weight of this scope shouldn't be an issue. On anything else, it's a tad long and on the heavy side. I also find it confusing after reading the specs. The reticle is MIL however the turrets is MOA? It probably won't matter if you print out your...

On the affordable airgun spectrum (sub $1K), there's already a lot of choices available. If you want something custom, it may cost you double the cost to go the custom route compared to an off the shelf airgun. Machinist and gunsmiths hobbies are expensive. If you're lucky to know a few, they...


Depending on the scope manufacturer, some can't even properly align the reticle without cant. It would be really annoying if the bubble level inside the scope isn't perfectly aligned to the reticle. To check the bubble level on a traditionally installed anti-cant device on the scope tube...

I don't think your comparison is fair as both scopes are vastly different in price and functionality. The Frontier is significantly higher in price and is a 2nd focal plane scope. Assuming that you're looking at the TMX reticle. The one thing that has put me off in owning another Hawke scope...

If holding zero is the only thing that matters to you then cranking down on $20 rings and it will fit the bill on an airgun. Starting out, I purchased cheap ebay and UTG rings. They looked decent at first glance but it's different when you're able to compare them side-by-side to quality...

If you already use a 4" sunshade, why do you need an ARD? Are you shooting in the direction of a sunrise or sunset? This is an airgun and not a sniper rifle. I don't think you need to camouflage the glare of your shooting position in the field of combat. In my opinion an ARD is unnecessary...


I don't agree with this opinion. Yes, there's a point of diminishing returns that holds true on a lot of things including rings and etc but you can't compare a $20 set of rings to say a pair of NightForce Ultralite rings for example. Will the $20 do the job? Of course but the quality...

To get the most of your thread, you probably want to specify which airgun and scope you are using. Money might not be a concern based on your intro but it still should be a factor. Spuhr mounts are badass looking but you have to be realistic with your choices. You're probably not taking your...
