[@MrSoonermadman]

I can never afford your recommended scopes, you always dog the vortex scopes I have but you always put a big ass smile on my face when I watch your videos! Keep it up Joe!! You are the man!!

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

Thanks Man . I try and do Scopes in all price points

[@briansupermag3918]

Joe, i was just on the phone with Val and he asked me why I purchased a different brand scope instead of his. I told him the truth, it's exactly what you showed on film. After you adjusted your zero stop and put the turrets back on and you went back to zero you where showing on the steadily lines that you were on the SECOND revolution. It does not go back to ZERO on the scope, which basically makes looking at the turret useless. You can be on a true first revolution but the stadia lines will show 3rd revolution. I told Val that I would buy a few of his scopes if this ever got fixed. I hope someday it gets fixed. No need for the turrest to ever go up. U can have a revolution pin pop out telling what revolution you are on. Or just make it that after you set your zero stop allow the turret to go back to the zero stadia line for a true zero. Ah la NF.... Joe great job and absolutely love your content. You make me laugh just about every time. Someday I'd love to meet you and share a couple beers. Great job Joe

[@williamwilson2624]

I appreciate you finally sharing the back story for the purple punisher. Cool scope and great review, Joe!

I have this scope on my savage 110 timberline. Absolutely love it. Thanks for the review. I knew mine rocked and will never subject it to this kind of torture it’s good to know it’s tuff enough to do its stuff. Glenn

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

It's 1000% a BADASS !!!! My new favorite long rang3 scope

Thanks buddy I’ll check out that scope that you sent me the video of thanks again talk soon del

[@e.l.robbins5614]

100% honest review. With the 600 and 700 dollar off the 2300.00 price you notified us about 2 times last year; my Valdada g2 mini collection advance from two to 4. A new one on Black Friday and a new one at the new years sale. I got 4 bad ass rifles with 4 bad ass scopes on them now Joe. I’m a rotten mfr and I’m ruined for all others. If you can get a Valdada g2 mini for 1600-1700 $; get one you deserve it.

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

Absolutely!!!

[@tq7884]

He had mentioned it in the run down …. hornady black

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

Hornady Black 223

[@scousewillo62]

Sweet ass scope and very impressive shooting. To get that accuracy while smashing the scope up between shots and titty twisting the turrets is insane. A little out of my price bracket but I can appreciate the quality and craftmanship that goes into a top tier scope. I have a couple of Mamba Ultra lite 3-10x40 scopes on my air rifles and for the price ( Circa $200) they offer great optical quality and the SCB2 reticule is very useful for hunting. Fantastic vid as usual and if you recommend a scope than I take not as you don't talk bull crap.

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

That scope needs to be seen to truly be appreciated

[@stevenxindaris1477]

Great review. You can send me that rifle for my birthday 😁

[@BruceCoggins]

Based on your highly rigorous, scientific testing and analysis, it would appear this is a very high quality scope. I mean, let's be real here...I'm not too sure how many other scopes would hold up to being beat off with a purple anal probe and still hold zero. Bullseye every shot...pretty bad ass if you ask me. Nice work.
