    Falcon Optics 10x42 Tactical- anyone ?

    Is anyone using the 10x42 Falcon Optics tactical scope ? Or maybe seen one ? Has anyone heard of Falcon Optics ?
    This looks like a take on the SS 10x42M, albeit w/o the Mil-Dots [ I kind of like the hash mark reticle though]. Just wondering if anyone has used these and can report on durability and/ or customer service.

    While I haven't used (or owned) one of these, I did come quite close to buying one. Before you buy one, really think twice about them.

    Yes they look good, however, I heard they clicks are not solid, and the repeatability is questionable. Moreover, their warrantee is only good through whomever you buy it. Manufacturer is in the UK. That alone should dissuade you. Go with a brand that back's their own product.

    I mentioned the scope at a training course I took recently. The instructor's review was less than positive (which bummed me since I had been looking and liked the scope). He actually mentioned that many of them do not make it through a 2 day course.

    There are many other options out there for better quality glass at an affordable price range. Here's two with the same knobs.

    Super Sniper series (SWFA SS 10x42 Tactical Riflescope.... $320)


    The Bushnell 10x40 Elite 3200 Rifle Scope comes to mind. ($220)



    Both are rated well. Both can be bought at http://www.swfa.com

    Whatever you choose, best of luck.
