Nitrex scopes

[pcgobbler]

Anybody got one of these.  They're made by Weaver and Natchez has some at killer prices.  $500 scope for about $180 after the rebate.  Thinkin'  of trying one for the old muzzleloader.  Always had Leupold or Swarovskis but with the wife not working now times are a little tight.  Any input would be appreciated.

From my understanding they are made in Japan from of the same line as the weaver grand slam and I believe the bushnell 4200 so they are probably going to be close in the quality and the 4200 has a rep for being the top in its price range.  I have a 4200 with a couple thousand rounds on a smokeless muzzleloader and it has held up really well and never lost POI. I have looked through a nitrex and it was clear and bright. The EBX reticle is laser etched instead of a wire so thats a plus!

Have you looked into Meopta? They make lens for Swar and Zeiss.

Thanks for the input guys.  Thinkin of going with a 2.5-10x50.  After the rebate it's like $160.  For the ol' Savage smokepole it should do just fine.  Anyone know what the advantage of having glass etched instead of wires is?  Just curious.

Wire reticles can break where as etched want. They are just more reliable.  Heres some companies that use etched reticles.  I know there on the low end though  Zeiss, Schmidt & Bender, Swarovski PH in the TDS reticle and Barrett 50. cal scope, Nightforce, Leupold Mark 4, US OPTICS, Unertl.

These are good scopes that have had very good performance reports in different gun magazines. Sounds like a heck of a deal IMO.
