You nailed it again Joe. I wish Tract would get some i dot reticles in their damn scopes. I would probably buy nothing else. Give me a floating dot Tract. Come on man.
I have a GPO Spectra 2-12x44i scope and some of the Passion ED binos in 8x32. Both are surprisingly impressive optically, as well as fit and finish. On par with more expensive brands, but cost less.
Great review Joe, I have seen all your hunting scopes recoomanadations and this is the best one so far! I wish you could include the regular price ranges they come in because the viewers need to look them up individually and get disappointed when they see the price tags on some.I think the Arken LH4 is also great for the price and it is FFP unlike others?
Talk about a timely video. I'm going to order a scope today. Between the Leupold VX-3HD 3.5 - 10 x 50 and the Meopta Optika5 2-10x42 PA Scope which would you choose? Buying one of these today.
I got this exact Meopta. Its awesome for the price. Maybe the Leupold has better glass quality, but here in Europe this Leupold is around double the price.
I bought a cheap 4 x 12 Sig Buckmaster for plinking. I was pleased at the glass quality for a 110.00 scope. Clear and bright as my leupold. I bought another to torture on a 30/06 held zero for 50 shots, tracks true and and returns to zero from 400 yards back to 100 Next its going to a 7 rem mag.
I know this may not be popular, but I found the Vortex Diamondback HP 4-16 to be a great buy at about $200 +/- (MSRP about $400). Very clear, good eye relief and good magnification range. Haven't had it long, so I can't speak to it's long term quality, but for now, it's a great buy.
Lookin for a scope for my muzzleloader and 308. Used just for hunting at close range and low light. Lookin for like a 1x. Or a 2x at most. Best low light lass quality. Like a 6 or 8x at top end at most. Thanks for any help
Excellent video Joe ! I just don’t think you can beat the Steiner predator range for the money. And even when you move up in price point how much are you really gaining for the extra money. I was impressed enough with mine that it made me sell my Swarovski z5, which is almost twice the price. Pick one up guys, you won’t regret it.
Have you gotten your hands on the Element Helix HDLR 2-16x50?? Seems like a solid ass scope for the price($580) and features. If you have I think a head to head video against the Viper HD 3-15x44 would be a solid comparison. Can get those on OpticsPlanet for $600 right now
Very good informative video. Thank you Joe! .....hey i figured out how to get rid of that toe-nail fungi..😆😁 You take an cut those nails back as far as possible.."you may have to hire somebody out to do that" and dip them toes down in a bucket of creasote..and that stuff will burn that chit right outta there! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 ...a bucket of paint thinner might do in a pinch. Good luck!😁 ...oh and screw YT,BB the Googler and all the rest too...we gotta big bucket of creasote waiting for them whenever they're ready.
Joe, i know a scope is a scope and honestly if you wouldnt mind spreading your wings a bit i would love to see you review a few crossbow scopes if possible. Most arent near the ballpark of some of the rifle scopes out there in terms of variable power and such but some ive seen are coming from good names. Hell even your best friends at vortex make one😂
All agreeable choices, for fine all American riflemen, everywhere. Hell Joe, Those are fine choices, no matter what country the rifleman hails from. I’m off to my last 200y shoot of the year. ☹️ Let’s go see how bad I can fuck that up.
You nailed it again Joe. I wish Tract would get some i dot reticles in their damn scopes. I would probably buy nothing else. Give me a floating dot Tract. Come on man.
I bought a Zeiss Conquest earlier this year on your recommendation. Bad ass scope. Thanks Joe !
More than welcome
Darn, Zeiss better give him some kick backs, these videos takes a lot to make LOL
Nice I have zeiss swaro and meopta really good scopes to choose from
Always love your top 10 videos. I think I may try the GPO series for my next scope. Thanks again for a great video, Joe!!
I have a GPO Spectra 2-12x44i scope and some of the Passion ED binos in 8x32. Both are surprisingly impressive optically, as well as fit and finish. On par with more expensive brands, but cost less.
You should! GPO kicks ass
Super solid suggestions. Lots of great thought into this list.
Thanks Buddy
Mornin Joe!
Good stuff brother!
Thanks 👍
Good stuff! Heard anything about SWFA lately? They’ve been teasing big things in 2024 since last year!
Big news coming SOOOOON
I’m from Czech Republic and all the hunters are using meopta scopes they are great
I love that brand
Thanks Joe
Great video Joe! This is the kind of videos that have made you famous!
Glad you liked it!
Looks like you’re almost Texas skinny Joe. Good on ya.
Almost!

Leupold 🙌 US made and lifetime warranty 👏
The Leupold VX-3HD 3.5 - 10 x 50 is on its way.
Both scopes are winners. Can't go wrong with either.
Me the Meopta !! But I hope guys keep chiming in
I got this exact Meopta. Its awesome for the price. Maybe the Leupold has better glass quality, but here in Europe this Leupold is around double the price.
Great video Joe! Might try that GPO! that will make me a good squirrel scope!
You should!
Thank you 👏👏👏

I have that scope on my S&W MP 15-22. I agree It is surprisingly nice for a $100 scope
Good deal man

That’s a SUPER good buy

That’s Steiner is a Beast
I’ve always been a fan of Leupold and they have a great warranty. What is Meopta’s warranty?
Lifetime no question asked
Great information 😊👍
Thanks for liking

No sorry , haven’t tried one
Good review and post!
Glad you enjoyed it
Some great choices. My old Zeiss is better than my newer scopes.
Great stuff ... can you do something similar for Rim Fire scopes
agreed! I am wanting to try a tract rimfire scope. I wish there was more information out there.
Great idea
You didn’t mention the Arken scopes what is up you keep saying how good they are
🐕 💩
They are , but I didn’t wanna look like a sellout man . Lotta affiliates just jam one brand down viewers throats
@ thanks for your reply and do they make it in second focal pllane
Arken do not make a second focal plane scope unfortunately.
Joe which would you choose for hunting Gpo spectra 2.5-10x44 or swfa 2.5x10x32? I'm looking for a 10x option, which is better.
GPO is brighter but not by much . But the SWFA Is incredibly light and almost as bright

Hey Joe can you do one of these for light weight mountain hunters
Thanks Joe !!
You bet!
Good morning Joe, Nice shirt!!!!!!!
Hey, thanks!
Good video and informative.
Thank you!
If I ever go hunting I will certainly look at getting a Tract
Tract scopes are awesome
Thank you Joe.
Any time
Morning Joe!☕️
It seems like Meopta is slowing retreating from the US market. Love the product, though.
Meopta scopes are some of the best scopes made for the money bar none.
Meopta rocks
👍 Joe joe !
That Steiner looks damn good
It is
Joe, i know a scope is a scope and honestly if you wouldnt mind spreading your wings a bit i would love to see you review a few crossbow scopes if possible. Most arent near the ballpark of some of the rifle scopes out there in terms of variable power and such but some ive seen are coming from good names. Hell even your best friends at vortex make one😂
My crossbow has a SWFA 6x on it
@CyclopsJoeVideos using HHA for range?
Have you done a top 10 American made scopes under $1000?
American made ? That would be Leupold and …………..Meopta
Thats it?
Price tags?
They change so fast I just don’t list them
👍
For the money bushnell do a great job for the money I’m not rich I just hunt Burris is good too
OMG JOE Vortex? lol
Lol
Joe I was hoping Arken would be on this list
They are on my $300 video
All agreeable choices, for fine all American riflemen, everywhere.
Hell Joe,
Those are fine choices, no matter what country the rifleman hails from.
I’m off to my last 200y shoot of the year. ☹️
Let’s go see how bad I can fuck that up.
Go get em
