New Clear Ridge XP5 Scope

[subcalshooter]

Well I've been wanting to try one of these for quite some time, so I finally took the plunge and ordered one for my upcoming 40 cal build. From what I've read, they get great reviews and are supposed to be alot of bang for the buck.. First impressions are good and seems like a quality built product. Turrets are crisp and distinct and the sight picture is super sharp, bright and clear. I don't know of anyone running one of these exact scopes on an SML so I think I'm treading into new waters. We will see how it does soon enough and see how it stacks up against the Weavers and Vortex I have.
The one picture is the Clear Ridge next to a Weaver Super Slam Euro 4-20x50, as you can see, it packs more power than the Weaver, but it's much more compact. The Weaver will be going on my upcoming 45 cal build. It'll be cool to compare them side by side in all types of conditions once they are mounted up.

Nice what did it run?

I like the compactness of it compared to the SSE. Please let us know how it does on the .40 in 2017

It seems nice.... I'll be up in 17 and you can shoot it personally.

Clicks seem mushy? Been a while since I had my hands on one but that was the only thing I didn't like about the one I mounted on a guys gun. Need to drive up and take a look at that new toy.

I don't think so, clicks are easy to feel, have to try it for yourself.

Glad to hear there's another one out there and ur happy with it. They seem to be pretty nice for the price range. It's definitely got better glass than my Vortex IMO from comparing them 2 so far, it's pretty tight between it and the Weaver SSE, need to get them on a gun and out in the elements to get a good comparison.

They're not worthy. They wear WCE's. Good nuff...
Gonna send Lamont to PA to get dialed in this spring.. Fred may go up for sale or get a makeover.
