| Has anyone seen the Osprey scopes advertised in SG? They look deceptively like the SWFA Super snipers. Anyone try them? Are they worth the price? |
I've got an Osprey 6-24X50IRF scope on my new AR-10 SPR .308. It's side-wheel focus with a rangefinding reticle. The scope is clear and bright and the red/green illumination isn't overpowering in low light. Osprey turrets have some initial slack but the 1/8" "clicks" are well-defined and accurate. If you do buy an Osprey be sure to properly align the turret cap set screws and tighten using blue Loctite. Osprey turret problems reported in other forums are likely caused by improperly installed set screws. The Osprey easily handled 150 break-in rounds last weekend and returned to zero following two full spins of both turrets. Next week we're heading to the 100 - 300 yard range to fire some measured groups. I'll post an update afterwards...
