Falcon S10i Review - Close & Long Range LPVO

Make way for the new champion! I've taken the older Falcon S8i LPVO out in the rain, mud, and cold for years, and at distances from 10 yards to 600 yards. The S8i can do it all. Now we have the S10i, a 1-10x24mm LPVO that pairs a simple illuminated red dot with a precision Christmas-tree reticle. This is now my top-rated do-all rifle scope. I'll be able to deal with everything from charging hogs to long-range game.

Love your scope reviews brother, some of the best in the business!!

[@SocialRegressive]

Thanks a lot, man! This is a great time to be a shooter. So many awesome products.

[@TheHide]

@@SocialRegressive Totally agree my friend!!

[@jonboyhst6448]

@@SocialRegressive Love youir work, I am having a hard time seeing my drops on the Zero Tech Vengeance 1-6 and the FOV is not that good, do you think the Falcon S10i 1-10 is a better scope or will be better for me? Thank you sir for all your great work!

[@Off-target-xy6bx]

Looks like a good option 👍👍

[@antinormality]

Let’s GOOOOO!!!!

[@SocialRegressive]

It's-a me! Mario!

[@BLACKRIFLEREVIEWS]

Give A Bear Creek Arsenal a try side charging 20" barrel a try.

[@SocialRegressive]

I've heard good reports. I'd like to try one sometime.

[@Timanator]

There are alot better choices than a bb gun scope?

[@robertlangford1749]

No parallax is a dealbreaker for a centerfire rifle would probably work on a 22 rimfire

[@williedunn-rj6nq]

Parallax is over rated. It’s not a big of a deal as you think

[@jcjustice3786]

👍👍👍

[@captmoa]

Can't find the scope for sale.

[@GTMGunTotinMinnesotan]

I just couldn't bring myself to use to sunshade haha.

[@jcnikoley]

A daylight visible red dot 1-10 for $400 is a great deal. SFP is a big disappointment. The reticle is a bit too busy for 1-10x. I’d definitely consider it anyway. Now, if someone can do a red dot with 1-(6-10) with a basic ffp mil dot reticle for

[@mobilegamersunite]

Monstrum has FFP scopes with great magnification ranges for around $230. Parallax adjustable and all. Mine is a bit on the dimm side of illumination, I can't complain tho for the price 😅

[@squatman86]

How does the glass/image quality compare to a Vortex Strike Eagle 1-8x24 please?

[@SocialRegressive]

I haven't tried that model, but the bigger strike eagle I looked through was stunning.

[@Guy-ib5ev]

G'day mate, Liked your video & am in the market for an all-rounder 223 scope. How would you compare this scope to a Zerotech Vengeance 1-6x24 & Vector Optics Constantine 1-8x24? Thanks.

[@SocialRegressive]

Howdy from Oklahoma! I've tested the ZeroTech alongside the Falcon. Both are excellent scopes, and I would be happy to take either out hunting dangerous game. They're both reliable, bright, sharp, and a decent weight for the features they provide. I have a Vector scope, and tends to produce internal reflections in certain lighting scenarios. I think the best way to choose between the Falcon and ZeroTech is to predict your most likely uses. If you think your targets are likely to be farther away and you need to dial, choose the Falcon. Otherwise, the ZeroTech may be a better choice for you.

[@Guy-ib5ev]

@@SocialRegressive Cheers, I appreciate the advice 👍

[@jackwicker]

Very curious as to how this optic would compare to the Primary Arms SLX 1-10 and the Swampfox Arrowhead 1-10, especially considering that this uses a 24mm objective and the other two use a 28mm objective.

[@jimyeats]

Athlons 1-10 would be a good comparison too.

[@semiauto556]

I have a 1-6 lpvo and when I'm shooting close range with both eye's open I get double vision. Is that normal? And how can I correct it if it's not normal?

[@mobilegamersunite]

Are you focusing on the scope when you get the double vision? Look past it... maybe get an offset iron sights for close range?

[@semiauto556]

@mobilegamersunite I'm not quite sure if I'm focusing too much on the scope or not. With that said I will pay special to that to see if I notice if I am or not. And will try to pay special attention on looking past the scope. Thank you man I appreciate you're input.

[@mobilegamersunite]

@@semiauto556 actually I just realized that's happen to be before. It was an issue with eye relief and how I was positioning my head crooked behind the scope. With a LPVO it can be tricky because at high magnification (14x and up) the 'eye relief' range on the scope changes...when you zoom in you typically have to get your eye closer to the scope, and the scope image gets more finicky. Check your form with eye relief in mind and good luck 👍

[@semiauto556]

@mobilegamersunite thank you man I really appreciate it!

[@MasterReptile25]

That reticle is great but SFP is a deal breaker for me, would like to see this reticle in a 2-12

[@SocialRegressive]

You would probably love the Athlon Helos 2-12x42mm FFP. I reviewed one a while back, and it rocks.

[@MasterReptile25]

@SocialRegressive I did see that and I also loved it.

[@kennygates1756]

Any experience with ARKIN EP 5 ? Need something for P-Dogs

[@SocialRegressive]

After testing the SH4, I'm no longer interested in Arken scopes. I hear lots of good things about the EP5, though. My preferred alternative would be the Bushnell Match Pro.

[@kennygates1756]

@@SocialRegressive I turn turrets 90% of the time and broke to many Bushnell's and with their poor customer service, I won't buy anymore. I'll stay with Athlon, Leupold, SWFA, Sightron, and Vortex (Razor line only). Thanks for the response and keep up the good work.

[@joelclark2130]

No parallax, no good.😢 You can never tell how far that deer is gonna come out. Or the amount of Parallax needed for shooting steel targets.
