Thread: Vixen scopes (and similar price range)

I bought a V III with the illuminated dot from Scopeuout… and promptly sent it straight back.

The fine wire supplying power to the dot was supposed to run over the top of the duplex reticle, but it was cockeyed so the lower vertical post was wonky. As soon as I looked through the scope straight out of the box I knew it was wrong. The retailer asked me to send it straight back to Steve’s Wholesale and they were very good and refunded me having checked the other scopes in their stock, which all did the same thing…. There was no way I was going to be able to look at that reticle and see anything other than a wonky post.

The non-illuminated version that I used as a reference prior to my purchase seemed fine. Good glass for the money. I ended up buying a secondhand Trijicon with an illuminated dot and haven’t looked back.
