JSAR Scope
- Thread starter Redick
- Start date
I've not handled or looked through one but kinda keeping an eye on it.
The only other scopes I know of with those dimensionsare one by Athlon and one by Bushnell, both are in $800-900 range.
I'm always intrigued by the mystery surrounding origin of scopes. Whether factory, country, or whatever name gets painted on the side, it would be really interesting to KNOW which scopes come from where.
Hoping Motorhead does a nice assessment for their use as a field target scope (range by focus) at some point and shares the results.

Well,
That said I did spend 10-15 minuets looking threw them both last week while at JSAR.
MOA reticle on both FFP & SFP that is for a "Hunter" class shooter not ideal IMO being somewhat too busy. If Clicking tho should be just fine.
I'm old school as a Hunter class shooter and vastly like Mil's better for shooting holdover. Less busy reticle has you making less mistakes.
Another thing noticed was the Side Focus ( Parallax ) only utilized @ 1/3 of the wheels rotation 10-55 yards which would make distance separation even with a bigger wheel pretty jumbled up. ** This current scope is a fine optic for the money, but Field Target use clearly was not the intended use by design.
It WAS discussed that if FT optics are really wanted, The JSAR crew can specify some design parameters from the manufacturer and a purpose built scope may very well be something in the future.
JMO ....

I looked through one, early version not for sale. It looked good, but was not sure if it would be the same as final production. I ordered one along with my Raptor, but may hold off on getting the scope.
I was told by JSAR that it is a MIL reticle, With 1/10 M-O-A turrets. The reticle pictures appear to be MIL as the major divisions, though I prefer 1 MOA major stadia divisions.
If it really is a MIL reticle, than I would prefer that they use MIL turrets (not MOA), at least for the FFP version.
If it really is an MOA reticle, then I would prefer 1/4 MOA turrets, rather than the 1/10 M-O-A turrets that are shown.
