    Wearing eyeglasses/safety glasses while shooting

    They mention Abbe number being high. That may very well be Trivex or equivalent. Good find.

    I won't be home until this weekend.

    Wearing eyeglasses/safety glasses while shooting

    Just so you know, soft contacts may have CA as bad as polycarbs.

    Wearing eyeglasses/safety glasses while shooting

    Yes, of course. I'm 70 years old and I've been wearing glasses for almost 60 years. I've had progressive bifocals for over 20 years. I ordered a pair of progressively bifocals with my exact prescription in Trivex and when they came in, I retired my still new polycarbonate prescription...

    Wearing eyeglasses/safety glasses while shooting

    Sorry to be so late coming back here. I'm traveling this week and life gets in the way. All I'm talking about is greatly reducing the CA that is created by polycarbonate lenses. When looking through a riflescope, you are using your far vision; a riflescope is an afocal device. The "diopter"...

    Wearing eyeglasses/safety glasses while shooting

    I hate wearing glasses when I shoot with a riflescope. After paying multi kilobucks for top-of-the-line optics, even the most expensive fancy coated polycarbonate eyeglasses make the picture coming out of the eyepiece look dull. Therefore, I usually shoot without my glasses. This is NOT an ideal...

    Rifle Scopes March 5-42 Gen 2 PRS Edition

    The 4.5-28X52 has an AOV of 25°. The 5-42X56 has an AOV of 26°. They both have Super ED glass, but the objective lens diameter is different. Larger diameter will have greater resolution. The 5-42X56 Gen 2 has a reworked optical formula that preserves the IQ at greater elevation and windage...

    Rifle Scopes School me on Magnification between brands. March PRS

    If you got bored reading it, you will be positively asleep listening to me explain it. Oh wait, this could be a great way to fall asleep without drugs. I could package this and sell it...

    Rifle Scopes School me on Magnification between brands. March PRS

    Please don't beat yourself up on this. Let me tell you a story. A few years ago, March introduced the March-X 8-80X56 HM Majesta. The original 8-80X56 has an AOV of 20°, which is pretty much the standard in eyepieces. The regular eyepieces range for about 18 to about 22-23°. In F-Class...

    March bendy spotter

    The gimbal used to move the tracking scope around is actually quite an ingenious design. I have several tripod heads, some with knobs to twist, others with a pistol grip to move the scope on the ballhead, and a few simple ballheads. They work fine, for what they are, and if that's all you want...

    Rifle Scopes School me on Magnification between brands. March PRS

    I'll just point out that the ZCO has a published AOV of 23° at max and the March-FX PRS has an AOV of 26° at max. That's a difference of 13% linear or closer to 28% since we view and shoot in two dimensions. You're seeing quite a bit more with the March than with the ZCO and that has a...

    Spotting scope question.

    I'm not sure that's correct; larger objectives do nit have a wider field of view. FOV is a function if the eyepiece. I'm not very familiar with Swarovski spotters as I prefer Kowas for their better glass, so I went to the Swaro website. The STS model comes in 65mm and 80mm, as was stated...

    Rifle Scopes What scopes have all these features?

    Since the OP is in Canada, he might want to check with Doug at MarchScopes.ca and look at the March-FX 4.5-28X52 HM with the Shuriken turrets and the the PDKi reticle. Doug has it listed at CDN$5,200. He's in Alberta.

    Is the March FX 4.5-28x52 my new ZCO?

    If I may. The nomenclature for the March scopes is like this: The X in -X or -FX means that the thickness of the tube is 4mm, very strong. The -F means that it's First Focal Plane (or Dual Focal plane for the 1-10X24, and the 1.5-15X42.) If there is no F it's SFP, or fixed magnification The...
