If you can find a cmore on sale I highly recommended it. Only 1-6 but glass is as good as a razor but a firedot style reticle 

 

 

Not for me, sorry

I guess it depends what you want for it.

I got rid of my Strike Eagle because I couldn’t get on with the horseshoe reticle tbh

I have a PST2 1-6 with the VMR reticle, if that’s of any interest?

I have no idea what that is, do you have a link?

What are you wanting to replace it with?

Something similar looking (LPVO), but probably 1-8 or 1-10, must have a target reticle though, not a circle dot.

I’m in no rush to sell this, as I need to find another LPVO to replace it, but I’d like £1100 in my pocket for it.

Currently retailing at £1600, mine is immaculate, original box, manual and reticle manual included. Obviously comes with Vortex lifetime no quibble guarantee.

I’m away from the rifle at the moment but can obviously get any pictures required, if anybody shows serious interest.

It happens frequently when I’m there with my club, the most frustrating thing for me is failing part way through the day, and wasting 5-10 rounds wondering what’s going on.

Whilst I’m moaning, the 600yd electronics at Century are so much more complicated than they need to be, with poorly thought out GUI that’s has some impossible  to see selections in bright daylight.

There, I feel better now 🤣

isnt that a victor optics ?

Yes, the value end of Vector Optics, Victoptics 

Under trial with a view to purchase 

A few more pics 

This is the warranty replacement I received from Vortex UK, using Vortex’s cast iron, no questions warranty.

’scope is immaculate, only had 200 rounds through my .22lr since replacement from Vortex, always covered with soft scope cover when not in use.

I’d like £450 for it please, currently cheapest place new I can find it is £599 from Optics Warehouse

I’m replacing it with a Razor as I can’t get on with the horseshoe reticle. Razor has more traditional cross-hairs.

Please contact me for any further info

*advertised in a few other places as well as here

Sending you a PM

Well, it is good service but there's often tails of Vortex scopes needing to be repaired so I wonder if  'make them cheap and repair as required' is the business plan?

I agree, it may well be. But they are budget/medium priced scopes for the most part, so a no question repair/replace policy suits me.

I’d like a NF or S&B but can’t afford them 🤷🏻‍♂️

Brand new scope arrived from Vortex Optics U.K. this morning, amazing service

Last update on this, scope went back to Vortex on Wednesday morning.

They received it at 12:30 yesterday, by 14:30 I had an email confirming it was faulty and a new scope would be in the post today.

What awesome service, you  can’t ask for better I don’t think.

Is this a case of them having got too big for their boots and now not wanting the ongoing responsibility that is being translated as "aggravation" when it should actually be "customer service" and on the back of the customers and their trade that has got them to where they are in business.

No, exactly what others have said, the potential of leaving themselves open to prosecution for supplying licensable items off licence

The RFD I know well stated a few weeks ago that Wildcat won’t send out any parts at all, licensable or not, any more. RFD sales only, as Wildcat don’t want the potential aggravation.

This is the exact use case ill be using for mine as well! Hopefully can find a decent deal on one of them 

 

I’d have no issues buying a used, the warranty really is superb. As long as you don’t deliberately damage, and it’s performance affecting, they’ll repair or replace.

The LE I sold the other day to my local RFD for a very tidy sum. I think somebody really wanted it

I haven’t used the 56 Diamond back, but I do have the FFP  4-16x44 on my .223 Tikka Tac. Certainly out to 600yds at Bisley it’s superb, and with the no questions warranty I don’t think you can buy better.

I have a slightly left field suggestion rather than an AR layout. Have you thought of a PCC layout?

if so you won’t go far wrong with a Grand Power Taranis 22 (Stribog TR22 if you check the GP a website).

It’s purpose built .22lr training version of their 9mm PPC Stribog and is available in the UK in 12”and 15” barreled versions. I have a 12” (non folder) version and it’s the closest thing you will get to a B&T APC9 or an H&K MP5 that works in .22lr. 
 

I use mine for  mini rifle and 3gun and it’s plenty accurate enough out 100 and with SK Semi auto ammo is boringly (according to others) accurate and 100% cycling…. The pic is with the OEM stock I now have a Magpul Zhukov stock with a +1/2” cheek riser that gives me 100% reliable cheek weld. 
 

What more do you want. 

That is superb

Essex is currently 2-3 weeks, my buddy in North Yorks got his done same day at the Northern Shooting Show yesterday 😂

I’m going to revive this thread. I’ve deliberately not used the scope/rifle combination for a couple of weeks, I’ll be using it tonight at 50yds.

At the moment, I’m disillusioned with the scope, so I’m after some possible alternatives, any ideas?

I’ll be setting a budget of up to £1500 absolute max but would love to spend a lot less, I’d like a 30mm tube, between 8x and 10x max mag, variable but doesn’t have to start at 1x.

It must be LPVO/short dot style

Reticle must be a cross hair style, would prefer holdovers, and would like first focal plane as well.

Any ideas?

If you want something a bit different, the .22lr Vector is right up there

Mine has been modified a little
