I've read plenty of different "web" opinions about them, any firsthand info on the 3-25X56 TDRM-DI retical model?

Thanks for any info provided, aluminum tube model is what I'm trying to find out about.
That sure is a lot of scope...I dunno what you plan to do with it.
I can't spend more on a scope than I spent on my first car..
"To have really lived, you must have almost died. To those who have fought for it, freedom has a flavor the protected will never know."
Are those people still in business? Plenty of people have run these scopes through the mill and found them wanting
" U.S. Government Contract Overruns...." these people do NOT make scopes for the U.S. Government .
Using a bunch of mall-ninja sounding terms in your advertising does not equate to a quality optic -
There are so many good optics out there at reasonable prices, why would you consider mounting an over-priced Chinese knock-off of a Nightforce on your rifle?

Which leaves the question, why do so many people want to be counter snipers?

Well, yeah. That's how you counter the sniper. It also has a special optical coating to make burlap stand out, making ghillie suites more visible......does it trace the trajectory of a snipers bullet back to where it was fired from...............

What was the moive where a sniper shoots and his bullet goes through the scope of the sniper shooting at him.....musta been a Counter Sniper
Oh wait was that the same movie which showed a whole cartridge leaving the barrel and whizzing toward its target

John...You ask questions on an internet forum....you get the replies that you get.
All one has to do is read their advertising while not smoking crack to realize that they are blowing smoke...
Do you REALLY believe they are supplying "untraceable optics to the U.S. Government?"
To turn this thread into something productive, why not talk about sensible options for optics to bolt onto your rifle

No way! I wouldn't give you a dollar for a whole truck load of em. Well I'm lying because I could resell them and go buy plenty of what I want and still have money left over,
But seriosly, for that money I could buy a Knight Force Scope and a nice rifle.
I like Nikon and Leupold scopes. They will do anything these old tired eyes are capable of and for half or less money. Also, that reticle is WAY Too noisy for me.
But this is only my limited opinion and different strokes for different folks. Don't let me Pee on your parade or spoil your dream.

Carlos Hathcock did it once. He aimed at his opposing sniper foe's scope and shot him in the eye through the scope. Now that's my idea of a "Counter Sniper!" But he did it with his regular scope which memory fails me of at the moment, but it wasn't one of these overpriced things.Someone please explain to me what a "Counter Sniper" scope is and what it can do a regular "Sniper" scope doesn't.....does it trace the trajectory of a snipers bullet back to where it was fired from...............

Thanks for the help.
I'm trying to establish a value for the scope. Midway wants $692.00 for it. It was in a small collection I recently purchased, and have no use for anything like it.
I am just trying to establish a real world value for it.
In the end John, it's worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it....there are plenty of tactical sniper wannabes on a "I work at McDonalds" budget that would likely jump on it like a chicken on a June bug...Get what you can for it...

One of out long-time F-class competitors has one of these CounterSniper scopes; I don't remember which one or if he still has it. Last time I checked he had a Nightforce on the rifle he was using at the time, but he does have multiple match rifles.
When I did notice that it was a Counter Sniper scope and after I finished laughing and collected myself, I asked him how he liked it and he said it was fine. Then I asked him how much he paid for it and it was a LOT less than the prices at the website above. This was some years ago, but I notice that the web site still has the advertising copy of years ago, with the highest density of typos, grammar faux pas, made up words and irrelevant statements ever seen in one ad.
Next time I see him, I will ask him if he still has the Counter Sniper scope and the exact model.
He shot HER cause the sunlight reflected from her scope giving away her position.
Ummmmmm...no...the NVA sniper shot through the scope was a guy, the HER (Apache) was another incident...

Darn....need to re-read.....it's be a few years......thanks for correcting me.
I'm so operator, I have a counter-counter-counter sniper scope...
jeezus.. put a 16x Weaver varmint on it and shoot the damm rifle...
If you put them end to end you'll just get a scope, all the counters just cancel out.
I would stick it on ebay and make sure to include counter, sniper, tactical, and long range in the title. Let the Mall Ninjas bid it up.
