Got my Osprey 10 - 40x50 mm Long Range Tactical Scope The darn thing was only $129 bucks so I figured let's give it a try. Let me just say for starters the thing is HUGE, and I weighed it and it's 2 pounds a 2 5/8 ounces with the rings. However, it seems very well built and sturdy, the glass is made in Japan, and I was messing around with it just looking around in the neighborhood and it's extremely clear. Once I get the XCR I'll give it a good shake down, but from my reading, the Osprey's are all rated up to 50 caliber. Hell I'll probably put it on the FAL, and put the 3 - 9x30 on the XCR because the FAL already weighs a fricken ton. http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/cb.aspx?a=453841

Mounts do come with it, like I said, it's one heavy mother, but at $129 I don't think you can go wrong. I've owned a Leupold scope, they're about 10 times more expensive, and I don't see the value in the difference.... :ok:

Re: Got my Osprey 10 - 40x50 mm Long Range Tactical Scope CR2032 is the same battery that powers the bios on your pc motherboard. They are available at Wally World for about $2. That is one big scope!

Re: Got my Osprey 10 - 40x50 mm Long Range Tactical Scope I am sorry, but I find it amusing that one would put a $129 piece of glass on a rifle meant to protect their life. Maybe if you want your kid to have something to shoot squirrels with, but is this going on a real gun? Hell, nevermind. I guess it's better than nothing. I should shut up now. :)
