Crimson Trace 3 series

I just got mine in and its a big scope, All my other scopes are 30mm tube, The 34 mm tube looks big,,,

I got my scope mounts ordered but looks like Tuesday before I get them, 34mm scope mounts wow,

I bought this scope to mount on my new AGT Vixen , I my be rethinking that, Heavy scope on a light gun,

Oh what was the question, Reticle thick? Reticle looks ok to me, but my eyes are not the best.... And its just hard for me to look through a scope not mounted on a gun, Back to the bad eyes, I will be testing the scope against my Viper and Athens scopes ,,

I'm in the same boat. Thinking about purchasing the same scope but 35oz is pretty hefty. I've read that the turrets seem to be the biggest issue with these scopes as they move with little effort and aren't very audible. Wish they offered them in locking turrets instead.

OK I would say the reticle is about the same as the athlon, I really can not tell any difference, The Turrents will move but not by them self's,

They are tight,,,Little to tight to my liking , They have a nice click feel, I do not know about sound my ears are as old as I am.

Please do a review of it when you get yours!! It's currently in my shopping cart but I'm already having buyers remorse even without the purchase yet lol

I received mine yesterday and I’m about to do a comparison between it and the Arken SH-4 Gen2. The picture makes it look quite larger than the Arken because the CT is closer to the camera. I won’t be mounted anytime soon, I forgot I had loaned my 34mm alignment and lapping kit to someone and will probably just order another one. 

Depends on exactly which scopes you are trying to compare to, like which Athlon?

When I am curious about this, I pull up the reticle on the company’s website to find out. (This is important to me too.) 

I pulled up the MIL reticle for the Crimson 3 and its says it is 0.05 MIL. Some of the Athlons I’ve used are at 0.03 or 0.04 MIL, as well as a Vortex I looked at. That being said it “could be” thicker than some others you have tried.

Never loan out tools that you ACTUALLY expect to get back.

Wow the Arken is not a small scope and looks like a baby compared with the CT 

THats why I like to order from Midway great customer service, I put my scope away in the top of my closet until my rings get here Tuesday.

I ordered my rings the same time I ordered the scope off A. Prime , Go figure, Midway had some fast shipping, They did charge me tax.

oh well its all good.

Are you on the same state they operate? If that is the case that's why you are charged sales tax.

Is this a trick question?

No no trick question, just letting @airgunmike56 how online business operate, if you buy from out of a state you don't pay taxes, but if your address in on the same state where the online business is operating then you will pay sales taxes... it also depend on the business, some businesses don't charge you the taxes but they will need to add that amount on the products because they need to report it.

Maybe that's explain why the shipment was so fast, for me (FL) it's taking a few days, my experience was the other way, my rings are here and I ordered those from Amazon the day after I ordered my scope, but the scope will arrives next Tuesday.

I've been learning a lot about this while opening my online store

That scope suffers from acromegaly 

The manufacturers of today are fashioning optics of titanic proportions, which I don't find appealing at all, but please make no mind of my personal contemplation, gents.
