The Eraticator

Excellent! Probably the best scope for the money that I own! Great glass, excellent resolution, extremely bright, tracks perfect. The dot works great illuminated or black and has superfine X-hairs. The dot covers ~3/8" at 100yds and would be a great varmint reticle if I ever get a chance at em!  It's a big scope but it has a lot to offer, give Jon at The Optic Zone a call at 1-877-564-0286 for a great price and free ground shipping. Here's a great review on the Eraticator.

Thanks Quick,
I did some searching on the site and found your link to the Rimfire review.  Looks like this is a pretty good deal.  I know you have one of the Simmons ATV scopes.  How does the Mueller compare to the ATV?  I am building up a Savage in 223 thay may eventually be rechambered to 22-250 and was looking for a higher power scope than the ATV 4.5-14.

The ATV is a nice scope but not near the scope the Eraticator is, the Mueller is an ATV on steroids and then some!

I just put my Eraticator on my 25 06 and it looks great !!!
Took it to my brothers house to show him and he was very impressed.
At first when he looked through it out a window at a barn he stated that the cross hairs were to thin and he could not see very well. I told him to look again and I reached up and turned the rectical on and all he could say was "WOW THATS GREAT" it wes almost dark out. I have not sighted this rifle in yet but so far am very impressed.
My brother is a leupold fan, so he said lets compare he brought out 2 luepolds and a redfield widefield and we looked through all four optics sited on a painting across the room. Both of us were astonished that we could not tell any difference in these optics except that both the leupolds and the Eraticator were better than the redfield. I have no regrets for buying this scope. Will site in next week. Robert
