It would appear the acorn didn't fall too far from the tree. https://www.bushnell.com/Products/Spotting-Scopes/Elite-Tactical/LMSS-8-40x60/?sku=780840 --W/reticle https://www.bushnell.com/Products/Spotting-Scopes/Elite-Tactical/LMSS-8-40x60/?sku=780840 --w/o...

The Bushnell version was 8-40 and could be had w/o reticle. The Cronus is 1.2" longer which is no big whoop, but I still do not understand the same old 30mm ER. You're giving up FOV & who needs 30mm ER anyway if you do not require corrective lens? 37.14 oz for the LMSS Vs. 46.6 is substantial...

Title: Never bought from the Samplelist Gleaned from a 'sample list' search I ran across this thread. They say curiousity killed the cat, yet this stuck out as a mite odd. If never a previous purchase how did you ascertain typical SWFA fashion?

Wonderful! Thanks for reminding me that in reaching for the brass ring, through sweat, labour, disappointment & heartache finally at long last I've scaled the peak of remedial. Me mum would be proud of 'er lad.. Do you have anything to add concerning the aforementioned 2.5-17.5x56 or are you...

For starters I ain't ya bro. This/that is me way of goofin' about ...[insert smiley face here >________].

That's all you youse got, gonna run w/caps lock, poorly structured sentences und cheesy JPG? Trey, trey chic at recess for prepubescent drama queens longing for high school and their first bra . At least none ever accused youse of being one of the sharper knives in the drawer. No expectation...

What I find novel is tailoring/scaling the reticle to one round/boolit/load. I find the Leatherwood ART especially quaint. You do not wish to learn 'more' though if you should perhaps a Google machine from Santa is in your future. 'He's back'. Were I you I'd refrain from playin' me hunches...

QF takes a novel approach. Regardless of, "High quality Germany glass" I didn't notice any FOV figures.

I've been snooping around Sightron catalogues & notice that the new 27008 ED SV 10-50x60 is claimed to be 0.4" shorter though 0.9oz heavier than the non-ED version 27000/27001. Do you feel that increase is directly proportional to the ED glass? I'm not sure where the 0.4" where taken off or if...

Larger glass, all other things being equal, will resolve more than smaller diameter at penalty you mentioned of weight. Everything is a compromise und as the colloquials say, "There ain't no free lunch". ED glass is primarily employed to reduce chromatic aberration which is much more...

That's right no shite. Goodbye sayonara adios take a hike hit the bricks & don't let that screen door catch ya arse on the way out. After a few short years the S-Tac 2.5-17.5X56 is 86'd terminated put out to pasture vamoose as the wind drop the curtain no call again FIN! I suspected the no...

"Give us a call". What kinda sales pitch is that Douggie? I can hear it now ... ring...ring... CL, what's it gonna take to put youse in the clean low mileage unmounted demo of ya dreams that youse prob'ly thought ya could nevah afford?

That reticle would appeal to more than ye auld #4. A 4.5-24X56 would also fit the bill a mite better for the long ranger. For me w/#4 Sightron could've could have used a 1" tube w/less adjustment. Not that I'm complaining I'm just sayin' for short-mid range that would've been fine & dandy...

I love the German #4 reticle, so I'm sure I'll be a happy camper. Plus, the big claim to fame of ED is reduction of chromatic aberration. This time of year that's easy to check. At times it's hard to quantify a better view, but CA is easy to judge. Going hand in hand if CA is suppressed then the...
