The older and more experienced I get, the more basic bitch my scopes are--top quality, basic features. I think that's where the best value for the money is.

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

I’m right there with ya

[@miheadhurts]

I bought the Zeiss v4 3-12 x 56 based on your recommendation. It's a great scope, no regrets.

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

That’s a BADASSSS

[@doomsdaypreppersofsouthcar9301]

Been looking at it myself...what are you comparing it too?

[@jordannorton1795]

Been binge watching a ton of your videos man. Awesome stuff (and hilarious.) But do you have any experience with or thoughts on the Athlon Ares ETR series? I double checked but didn’t see a review for one on your channel. Really leaning towards the 3-18x50 for my first AR-10.

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

Thanks for that !!

[@JoefromSoCal]

Good advice. This pertains to most things in life.

[@tommykawasaki9676]

👍 Solid advice.

[@williamwilson2624]

Good tip!

[@dennisholle1005]

Thanks Joe.

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

You are very welcome

[@josephkelleghan8260]

Agreed, only caveat I have to this is if you're going to get a scope with exposed elevation turrets, for the love of God make sure it has a zero stop.

[@Dwayne7834]

Good information 👍🇺🇸

[@lakkchina]

I agree. Those high end scopes are out of sense with prices!

[@Sagittariustoo]

Short but to the point, Joe. 👍

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

[@charlesmckinley29]

The more knobs and buttons there are the more you need to remember to have set correctly. Forget to change your elevation or paralax at distance and you are going to have a bad day.

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

Yep

[@raystephens2078]

Joe, thanks for your advice on the Leupold VX-3HD 4.5x14x40 side focus w/ wind duplex. I absolutely love the optic. Buy once, cry once. 😂👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

Good stuff

[@rudyvazquez8230]

🙏🏼

[@nicholas1740]

This is excellent advice, Joe! Especially to newcomers. I'd much rather have turrets that track correctly and decent glass, than all the other bells and whistles that don't mean squat. Without accurate turrets or good glass, you've just got a very ugly paper weight. 😂

[@B-ROB803]

If you had $700 to spend on the best image/ low light gathering scope, what would you pick. Leaning toward the Leupold VX3-HD

[@Drivapete]

Glad you asked, me too!

You sold me on the Leica Amplus 6. I actually sold my Swarovski X5i because the Leica was better and about 1/3 the price. Big time sleeper of an optic. I’m running 2 of them now and recommend to everybody at the range I work at in southeastern WI.

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

That glass is INCREDIBLE

[@llllkkkk8444]

@@CyclopsJoeVideosit really is. The best hunting scope I’ve ever looked through. Including Swarovski, Zeiss, Leupold VX6, SB and any of the Vortex including the Razors. Custom turrets are also an option for the Leica as well.

[@danriva5290]

Is the Blackhound 5-25 worth the extra money over the Arken EP-5?

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

Not to me it’s not

[@jcjustice3786]

👍👋

[@wncrcandoffroad3919]

Joe, do you have a video on budget FFP scopes? I tried a discoveryopt and while it's accurate on a 17hmr/wsm the eye relief is absolutely piss poor.

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

I don’t man . But great video idea 💡

[@jp8351]

I'm not sure if allowed but a quick technical question for someone with way more experience than me 😁. It's something regarding scope height that i don't find an answer to. How do you calculate the scope height with adjustable mounts? As you scope body is no longer inline with the barrel you can't use the simple calculation method i think. Is there a point on the scope that needs to be used? Does it have a pivot point? any insight is welcome.

Honestly, I've never used illuminated reticle once on any of my scopes. 😮🤔

[@llllkkkk8444]

Only time I did was for black bear or precision shooting on some of the darker targets. Black bear was pretty helpful. I wouldn’t say absolutely necessary, but was a big help.

[@chrislang5659]

Good advice. i do not like all the battery powered scopes, adds weight. and bulk.
