you simply can't make something that bright and not have the fuzziness factor play a role on the lines.

Never looked through a S&B Short Dot have you?

are you really trying to compare a short dot reticle and magification (as well as illumination) to a razor? its like comparing apples to oranges.

on that note, yes i have looked through one. a buddy has one. i really don't see what you are getting at besides the fact that it has nice glass.

I was just addressing your post above where you said "you simply can't make something that bright and not have the fuzziness factor play a role on the lines."

The daylight visible dot is clear and sharp in that scope.

The Razor is an excellent quality scope. If it had the dot quality of a Short Dot I would dump both my S&B Short Dots tomorrow.

right but its a dot. thats a completely different issue. fuzziness is a lot harder to see on a dot than on a complete reticle with graduations.

well ill have my pst in a day or so. ill let you know the preliminary report

[daddygat]

Had my AR at the Gunsmith for a month to get some work on a scope problem, well needless to say after being told it would be ready in 2 weeks , I gave him an additional two weeks to see what he could do for me.

One month to the day from when I dropped it off, went in to see where we were and he had not looked at it at all.

So back to the drawing board.

I came across a Colt 3x21 with the bullet drop compensator. What caught my eye in the ad was the reference to the fact that it was made in Japan.

Japanese optics can be good if I was looking for a camera, but this is a different rodeo.

Can anyone give me first hand feedback on this particular scope, saw it advertised on the GUNSAMERICA site for about $400.00

QUESTIONS:

Is that a reasonable price?

Does the Made in Japan reference cause any reason for concern for this type item?

Does Colt farm out mfg on this item overseas?? Or is this possibly some Gray market knock off.

Anyone on the site with this current set up on their AR would be really a good source of first hand feedback, pros V. con of their experience with the scope.

Will not be using for any thing beyond 200 yards.

Thanks In Advance

japan pretty much makes the best scopes, with a few exceptions. that doesn't mean they don't make bad ones too though

Not so sure I buy into that.
