    i'm very interested in this as well. I've had a scope thats needed warranty work/replacement for years now, but have gotten nowhere with any of the dealers.

    Okay, I'll take two.
    I never met a gun I did not like!

    Yup! I'll take one Mil/mil 2.5 to 10 I forget which focal plane for magnification but the reticle stays the same.

    This thread is for fixed power scopes not variable. no need to worry about focal planes

    I have to agree with you.
    If you are looking for reliability and accuracy, stay away from Falcon scopes providing that I do not abuse my gears at all.

    Had two FMs.
    1 1/2 - 5 on my service rifle. Liked it, did well with it. Then during the walkback zeroing opportunity prior to the Nationals, something came loose inside. Couldn't see through it. This was just prior to the commencement of a national competition. Fortunately I had another upper with a Leupold 1 1/2-5 on it, although its zero was not as refined.
    The second FM was a 4 1/2 - 14 that I used for Precision. I noticed erratic performance during the Nationals, toward the end of the precision matches. Entire ocular assembly was loose, wobbling on the main tube.
    Both failed during major competitions.
    The manufacturer was no help. Would replace the scopes, but could not ship direct because of export issues. No dealer was actively carrying the line and importing them. The business that I bought the scopes from no longer carried them.
    I thought that the 1 1/2-5 was an excellent service rifle optic. I know a couple of other shooters who used them. Both of theirs failed.
    It is my opinion that the scopes are not dependable. Even if there was prompt dealer support, a defective scope during a major competition is unacceptable.
    I suppose for casual use, one would be OK, if the risk of failure didn't matter.
