Going from G3 1-10 to HD5 2-10?

I have one in SFP and have shipped quite a few rifles with the std FFP model in Mils.

It is one of the best scopes I have seen for what we do. What we don't do with them is run n gun type stuff so I can't offer first hand experience with that.

I can say that the FOV is excellent but we have never tried to use these from 10-400 without readjusting the parallax. In fact the adjustable parallax was one of the original draws for use because it is so important for us at the closer ranges. The eyebox, image brightness and resolution for a given X is one of the best we've seen. Capped wind, locking Elev, Nice Illum with timeout and the small footprint are the schnitz.

I can also say that the glass quality and design allows us to resolve things better at 10x than some of the other scopes can do at 14x or more. I may be wrong but I would guess that a scope with lower magnification would offer more of a "deep field" focus than the higher X scopes with all other things being equal.

Maybe get @koshkin or one of the other optics nerds ( I mean that in a very respectful way) to chime in?
I have not yet tested the 2-10x Mark5HD. I pinged John a couple of weeks ago, but I have not received a reply yet.

Generally, if my math is right, it should have enough depth of field on 2x to use it up close and personal without needing to do anything with parallax.

The basic idea with a scope like this is that you should be able to set the parallax to some moderate distance (around 100 meters or so) and then use the optic without needing to touch the parallax for the bulk of what you do.

However, when getting ready for some sort of a fairly specific scenario like an ultra precise shot at close range where you might choose to use higher magnification or for longer range use on 10x, side focus is very helpful.

With all that, even wonderfully optimized 2x does not replace good quality 1x or non-magnifying optic if you are going to do a lot of CQB. If I were running a 2-10x30 scope, I would likely have an offset or piggybacked red dot set up. To be fair, I also have those set up with LPVOs, but that's more of a redundancy play.

Prayer Request Thread

Prayers will go out tonight. Just went trough that with my brother last year - advanced prostate cancer. He was 67, 3 years younger than me. We didn't live in the same time zone so I had to fly to see him, already hospitalized, I could not believe what I saw. Didn't recognize him. I could tell he was in a lot of pain so I talked to the head nurse and insisted she upped the morphine dose until he could sleep. Died in sleeping (in peace) 7 days later. Always make sure that when the time comes there's heavy sedation around....
I have done end of life for 4 family members,and one good friend , IV drugs is the only way to go. Prayers
