I sure want one. Their reputation for service is approaching legendary.

Their reputation for service is approaching legendary. This. I've never heard anyone say a bad thing about their scopes, rings or mounts. Personally, I have no experience with them but everyone who does raves about them. I doubt you'd be disappointed with anything from them. Added bonus, they're a Texas company. What kind of optic are you looking at?

I bought a Leupold from them, so I can only speak to their excellent customer service. I had a question for Skylar, and the office sent him a text while he was a gun show. He called me back from the gun show that day, answered my questions, and made some good suggestions.

I have had a couple of them over the years and they were solid scopes. I bought them used, used them, then sold them for what I paid when I upgraded. Look around on the snipershide and AR15.com for used ones.

Give Vortex a look too. I'm very pleased with mine.

I have the 3-9, 3-15 and 1-6. They are stellar. Can't beat them for the money.

I compete in long range practical matches, and I use an SS 5-20 x50 HD. It has had it's turrets punished, and it still keeps working like a champ. I can see .264 bullet holes, in white paper at 300 yards. Damn good scopes!
I will be buying another 5-20 x 50 for a future rifle build.

I just picked up an SS 1-6 today, and I've looked though plenty 5-20s as well as borrowed a 3-15 and borrowed a 3-9. All of them were great, and they are pretty close to Dallas as well. ![[Linked Image]](http://i.imgur.com/heQPnzU.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i.imgur.com/7fU9o5v.jpg) Here is my review on the 3-15x42. It's FFP and mil/mil. Best into long range scope on the market IMO. Sorry about the sound,

One thing that's cool about the 1-6 is you can set it up yourself for capped or uncapped turrets. I leave the caps on mine for hunting but target shooting it's a little handier to leave at least the elevation cap off. There's a little ring you can screw on to protect the threads if you leave it uncapped. Here's a pic of mine on top of my Larue PredatAR 5.56. It sits in an LT104 mount.  And here's the 3-9 in Seekins rings on a Talley base on my Remington 5R .300 win mag. I'm actually going to trade this one back in on another 3-15 at some point for this rifle.

Thanks, I took it out to TDSA today and shot it out to 200 yards. W/ that JEC break on it, I was able to rapid fire on steel pretty easily. I really like the 1 and 6x reticle.

Yall have got to quit showing the 1-6X. I've been drooling over them since they were introduced.

There's no doubt it's the best low power reticle. In my opinion of course

It's time to quit talking about it. I don't know what the Black Friday sale is on all of them but the 3-15 is 20% off today. That's saving $140!
