There are a few Chineses LVPOs that are 1-12, there are also some 2-12x24 designs also so maybe it is just a standard offering by an OEM. For the most part Chinese OEMs won't do a optical redesign like that unless you are ordering 5000 scopes, and somehow I doubt that's the cases here. Or maybe...

I bet designed in house really means it was choosen from a catalogue and they specified the knurrling pattern and reticle. If they did actually design these specs in house, who they hell are they designing this scope for? A 24mm objective lens on a 12x scope is beyond stupid. I wonder if it...

Not sure I like these reticles TBH. I get all they've done is add a tree to their existing reticle but it doesn't make any sense to me if they were able to start from scratch. The Mil Quad reticle is great for low magnification visibility but not too thick on higher mag, but being a fixed...

Do you know what fixed models first? I'm guessing 6x and 10x? And the 10x being a replacement of the non-HD model?

The zero stop is built into the zero lock button on the the turret. So you can't just leave it off/disengaged like you can other turrets.

I don't even know what a CPAP machine is. It is some weird obese American thing?

I've got a lot of rounds from behind my T1x, I got one very early on and while I'm happy with my purchase (I shoot all Tikkas) if I were to do it again I'd probably got CZ. The CZ457 is probably the safer option for reliability and accuracy, has all the accessories you need, and prefit barrels...

http://new.deltaoptical.eu/product/riflescopes/3-5-21x44-ffp/ Has the reticle pictures and subtensions. It shows the main stadia lines as being .035mil thick. With the small amount of time I played with it the reticle seems ok for visibility at 3.5x, it wasn't not visible like so scopes are...

Is the standard butt pad adjustable in height like you have it, or is that the target butt?

Anvil is the best head. It doesn't flop around when trying to adjust (like a ball head does) but has a lot more movement than a level head. I also find that level heads can be a bit of a pain to fine tune where as the anvil clamp is great for fine tuning, the locking lever makes is really quick...

The lack of any additional hashes within the first Mil and no numbers on the reticle is what kills it for me. Maybe with practice it gets better, but trying to do hold overs with no regetence numbers is hard work.

There is a VX5hd 3-15x56 model with Mil turrets and Firedot reticle. There used to be a Firedot TMR retcile in the VX6 (non-HD) and there is a Firedot TMR reticle in some models of the Mark3HD. A Firedot TMR 2-12x42 would be a nice hunting scope.

If this scope is for PRS and you are at all fussy with reticles, I'd be prioritizing which reticle you like the best. Going for a used PM2 I'd imagine most are the p4f which isn't great IMO. I don't much like Deltas tree reticles but between my Stryker and PM2 the Delta is the better PRS scope...

What are your initial thoughts? I got to play with one for a bit recently, my assumptions I made about the reticle seem to be correct. It's was somewhat usable on 3.5x bit could be better, and the cross in the tree are a bit naff. The lack of numbers at every Mil mark made it seem more busy...

They list the bullets used, FPS, zero distance and zero off set. Using the info from that table and the bullets they have in JBM, I've worked out the average (across 14 different loads). 100y: 0 200y: 0.44mil 300y: 1.24mil 400y: 2.24mil 500y: 3.41mil 600y: 4.84mil I'd imagine that is pretty...
