DLO Reviews: Leica PRS 5-30x56 with L-Ballistic Reticle

I am re-visiting the Leica PRS 5-30x56 scope, but this time with the L-Ballistic reticle that is more to my liking. Optically and mechanically, this is a nice scope. I need to do a little more shooting with it before it goes back, but so far so good.
In this video, we mostly look through the scope at the reticle features.
Here is a link to the exact model in this video:

And here is a link to the one with the PRB reticle that I mention early in the video:

Here is a quick look through the Delta Stryker HD 1-6x24 scope. At current prices, this scope punches way above its weight class.

Most of my video footage on this scope, unfortunately went down the drain when my computer was destroyed, but I found this "through the scope" video clip on one of the backup memory cards.
Generally, this scope and the Vortex Razor Gen 3 1-10x24 were discussed during a livecast earlier this month:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2ViTDM5ypM
After a few days behind the pay wall, I will make the video public.

DLO: Membership Announcement
This video is the rather long winded introduction to DLO Channel memberships that I am rolling out.
I start with a brief re-hash of who I am and what I do, but most of this is about my problem with advertising and affiliate revenue.
In a nutshell: I am looking to set this up so that I am only responsible to my audience, not to advertisers.

DLO Live! Ep. 3 If I Could Have Only One....
Once a year or so, I go through this scenario of what I would choose if I could only have one gun, with one optics setup. Or one gun of each type. Or one gun of each type while still staying married. I figured this might be a good discussion topic for a livecast. I am travelling Wednesday and Thursday of this week, so let's do this on Tuesday night.

DLO Live! Ep.2 Vortex Razor Gen3 1-10x24 and S&B PMII Dual CC 1-8x24 with open Q&A
Since my pre-recorded video was on the computer that Lenovo is still trying to salvage a few pieces out of, I want to publish my take on the Vortex Razor Gen3 1-10x24 and S&B PMII Dual CC 1-8x24. I think these two are as close as it gets to being "LPVO royalty", although there are definitely other scopes that belong in the same category.
I'll spend 20 minutes or so going over my impressions after which, I will open things up for a Q&A pertaining to these two scopes or anything else that comes up.

DLO Reviews: USO FDN17x 3.2-17x50 First Look
I am kicking off a test of the new FDN 17x 3.2-17x50 scope with the JVCR reticle from US Optics.
This is a first look with my initial impressions of the scopes. Stay tuned for follow-ups as I spend more time with this design.
Here is the exact model I am lookign at: https://alnk.to/bE9U0tk
Note: I miscalculated the apparent FOV of the FDN17x. It should be around 15.5 degrees, so right around the same as the new March eyepiece.
Another note: black scope does not stand out all that well in front of a black t-shirt. Lesson learned.
I start off with a few minutes of background info.
Discussion of the features and controls starts at around 8:30
Optics discussion starts at 17:35

DLO Reviews: EOTechVudu 5-25x50 with MD3 reticle
This is mostly my take on the MD3 reticle (which I happen to like a lot) and some extra commentary on the scope itself.
I start out with some general thoughts.
My take on the reticle starts at around 55 seconds.
At around 6:50 you get some final thoughts on the scope itself.

DLO Reviews: SwampFox Arrowhead 1-10x24 SFP Scope
Here is a brief "through the scope" look at the SwampFox Arrowhead 1-10x24 SFP riflescope. If you are looking for the most flexibility with an LPVO under $800 or so, I think this is the best option out there right now of all I have seen.
