This is not right, if your Impact is 3" above the center of your reticle at 100 yards that is going to be 0.8 mils, however at 500 yards 0.8 mils is 14.4 inches. If your offset is 3" at 100 yards and that is parallel with your reticle, then at every distance it should be 3" higher than your...

According to the post from Shamus the orders with Vortex were prepay orders and were not shipped until they were paid for.

Are you turning the illumination off between uses?

Hang a plumb line on your wall and shine a flashlight backwards through the scope, this will project the reticle on the wall and you can line it up with the plumb line (you may need to adjust the diopter and magnification to see the reticle). When the reticle is lined up set your bubble level.

Vortex Strike Eagle 5-25x56 and Vortex Venom 5-25x56 come in at $800 and $500 retail, both have a zero stop and 34 mm tube and 15 yard parallax.

Looking at the specs the Strike Eagle has a wider field of view and more internal elevation adjustment. The Venom does not have locking turrets like the Strike Eagle either.

Out of curiosity have you tried cleaning the numbers with something like a push pin? The numbers on the turret are laser engraved and because of that are recessed into the turret, you may just have a buildup of dirt in the numbers making them hard to read.

I have read through his procedures, however my point is that the rifle system lost zero and that should be the takeaway because even going to the lengths he does it cannot eliminate the variables. I have seen mounts shift on rails, it can happen but that is not accounted for in his test except...

So all of this for a guy who drop tested a rifle, and the rifle did not shoot to the same point of impact as it did before the drop. Form's testing procedure should be looked at as testing a rifle system as it does not isolate any single variable (scope included) and thus you cannot condemn any...

They are different sizes, one is a 2 mm for the throw lever while the other is a 2.5 mm for the turrets. They are labeled at the base of the teardrop so you can reference that if you need to know which one you have.

That is a pretty presumptive response considering you don't know what the optics look like in the new Vortex. If it has as good of optical quality at $3000 vs the ZCO or Tangent I think that would be a pretty good deal.

I think you were looking at the MOA reticle when you listed the center dot size, the MRAD version is 0.03 on the center dot https://vortexoptics.com/media/.renditions/wysiwyg/VTX_RZR-63602_EBR-7D_MRAD_RS_I_RI_ST.jpg

To test that theory, simply get comfortable on the rifle and find out what direction you need to move your head to see a full sight picture. This will save you from having to go out and buy different rings/mount to test that theory.

When I help folks mount their scopes I have them get set up on the rifle where they feel most comfortable while keeping their eyes closed, once they are set up then I have them open their eye. If they are not seeing full sight picture through the scope where they are comfortable while the scope...

I have a J Allen I am willing to part with, sending a PM
