I know there has been some mention of the Clearidge Scopes from The Optic Zine, but has anyone tried one. If so, whats the verdict?

Rupe

I'll let you know when mine gets here. I'm looking forward to the mil-dot reticle.

Tigger - What power did you get ? Thanks.

Rupe

I ordered the Ultra XP in 6 to 20 power with Mil-Dot reticle. Product #3620

Now I just need to decide which gun/barrel to put it on.


As a side note, I discussed the idea of a high power long eye relief scope in the future. John said he has received quite a few e-mails on the subject and is considering the possibility. Cool eh?! Might be a good idea to contact John and express some intrest.

Hey Tigger - Its been a while. How is the Clearidge scope ?

Rupe

It's here. I was in Arizona for 12 days and just got back. I'll have it out and looked over by the weekend.

Hey Tigger - Any initial report on the Clearidge scope ?

Rupe

Sorry for the delay.

I just spent about 20 minutes out on the front porch with the CR scope, a new Burris 3 to 12, and a Nikon Monarch in 5.5 to 16.5. I have had the Nikon for about 5 years and used it for a comparison to make sure my tired eyes were seeing clearly. The ball field fence is about 300 yards away and across the highway is a RR sign around 400 yards. Up close at 100 yards is the scoccer net.

I'm impressed with the CR scope. Fit and finish are great. Very clear and bright thru all power settings. The RR sign image was sharp as you could see the little ding in the corner where someone hit it. The AO and power rings adjust smothly. The turrets adjust with a crisp click. The occular bell has a nice ring of rubber around it. That might come in handy if I use it on a barel that has some recoil and I creep up to close. I like the Mil Dot. The Burris has lines for the BP whice work good but I would prefer dots. I have a few other scopes with fine cross hairs and a small dot that I like so I should feel right at home with the Mil Dot on the CR scope.

The plan is to put this scope on a 204 barrel so when I get a few rounds down the tube I'll make another report

What was the price range of this Clearidge Scope. This sounds like one I might have to have...

Thanks...

308 - Check out http://www.TheOpticZone.com . The Clearidge that Tigger is referring to runs $350 including shipping. The Clearidge scopes have been getting good press. One is on my list.

John the owner of theopticzone worked with me on the price a little sun shade and shipping were free. Give John a call he's a good guy. Maybe put a little bug in his ear about offering a few pistol scopes.
