    A little help with scope decisions

    10-12x really. 15-16x if you feel you need to PID for legal game. But only you can determine that with your eyes, especially with somewhat inferior glass. The new 3-18 range is a good cover everything but reticle at 3x usually not great. Give and take with this stuff.

    establishing a new turret "0", for a new cartridge

    Yes it would which is why you would adjust zero offset in ballistic engine.

    establishing a new turret "0", for a new cartridge

    Okay, so let's say you've zero'd your scope for the 308/175 right, so at 100 yards those bullets smack dead center of the target and your scope elevation and wind turrets are at zero. Now you decide to load some 155's and you change nothing about your scope, you leave it at the zero for 175's...

    Did Steiner just quietly build the MPO we have all been asking for? H6xi

    ILya said he's seen the reticle and talked to them about it, they say it is coming, but that doesn't mean it won't take longer or someone else killed the project. @Birddog6424 I know you have secret contacts at Steiner, any news on this becoming reality anytime soon?

    establishing a new turret "0", for a new cartridge

    When you say "have adjusted my turret to zero at 100y" do you mean that you sighted the scope in with a particular cartridge for 100 yards so that the center of the crosshair point of aim (POA) is aligned with your point of impact (POI)? Let's say the cartridge you zero'd is a 6.5 Creedmoor...

    A little help with scope decisions

    Glad to hear you're in remission and on the road to recovery, my family has had more than its share of cancer (dad, niece, grandmother, brother...) Tell us more about the intended use for these rifles? You just plinking steel with the national match for your own enjoyment or? How about the...

    Rifle Scopes Is a Viper PST Gen 3 coming???

    This is why it is important to have options, I am not suggesting they replace existing reticles, but would like to see the addition of something that is more crossover oriented for situations similar to what I mention, this is tricky for sure as you don't want something that ends up obscuring...

    Rifle Scopes Is a Viper PST Gen 3 coming???

    Thanks for sharing this Rob. "Made in the xxxx" doesn't necessarily mean everything is sourced there, that's part of the issue with a lot of products that offer up "Made in..." or "Assembled in..." they don't always tell the whole story and can be somewhat misleading.

    Rifle Scopes Is a Viper PST Gen 3 coming???

    Where do I begin. First, let me say what I like about this scope - great glass, good reticle, great illumination and great weight for the size. Now for the criticisms: 4.5x and somewhat narrow FOV is not ideal (for me), would have preferred 4-20 or 3.5-18 vs. 4.5-22 that said this is largely...

    Optical/functional differences between SFP and Dual FP?

    If anyone opened this thread hoping to get some good info on DFP reticles, they are in for quite the surprise. :oops::ROFLMAO:

    Rifle Scopes Is a Viper PST Gen 3 coming???

    I think ILya sets expectations accordingly in post #208 above. Of course no one really knew what these scopes would be, exactly what line they would be part of. Nothing wrong with this line (Viper HD) and as plenty of others have mentioned this is definitely more of a hunting oriented line...

    "Short" LPVO's...?

    Vortex made the AMG 1-10 “shorty” for this very purpose, unfortunately the only way to get one as a civvy is to pony up the big bucks and buy a DD in the process. https://www.eurooptic.com/Daniel-Defense-M4A1-RIII-556mm-NATO-145-P-W-Bbl-Rifle-with-Vortex-AMG-1-10x24-FF.aspx

    Rifle Scopes Is a Viper PST Gen 3 coming???

    Trees and BDC’s in SFP’s is just asking for problems. But the Fudds eat them up so they still make mfr’s lots of money.

    Rifle Scopes Is a Viper PST Gen 3 coming???

    Yep, the movement is slow towards a good crossover, more companies offering lighter FFP options but still no real crossover reticles to make them appealing. Remember how Premier Reticles got started, we need another company like this today to put out better crossover reticles. How about a...

    That is way too close to another acronym I get tired of seeing ;) But maybe that was your intent?
