    Hensoldt 3,5-26x56 vs PMII

    With your budget, you should be looking at Tangent Theta if you want the best of the best. I recall Ilya saying the Hensoldt 3.5-26 wasn't good.

    Gunsmithing What exactly am I trying to clean from my barrel?

    It depends on the game you play. For PRS, you're better off starting the day with a fouled barrel vs a clean one that progressively fouls throughout the day. I'm going to start using lock eeze in my barrels after cleaning to see if the first cold bore shot is consistent with successive shots...

    Mine line up correctly. I haven't heard of that issue before.

    Those are some good deals. Any word on what the replacement will be?

    Rifle Scopes Zeiss S5 vs the Zero Comp optics quality

    I have the MSR 2 in my Steiner. Its very good. As for non tree reticles, I was really liking the P5FL in the Schmidts. But now that Schmidt has gone insane with their pricing again, im no longer interested. Comparing the features and reticle though, I see the Schmidt as a downgrade from the S5.

    Reticle are a personal preference for sure. And just because you like it on paper, doesnt mean you'll like it in real life. For me, the Zeiss mil reticle is the best one I've used or seen so far.

    The zeiss flip up caps come with a holder for an allen key. Although I'm thinking it would be better to buy a scope chap with material for a patch, and put a spare Allen key under the patch. About the zeiss caps... No matter how tight you make the ocular scope cap, it will still rotate under...

    Rifle Scopes Zeiss S5 vs the Zero Comp optics quality

    I haven't tested that yet. Ill update you once I do. I have a 3" sunshade for it, I can try it out with it on and off and see what difference it makes.

    Rifle Scopes Zeiss S5 vs the Zero Comp optics quality

    The more I use them the more I like them. The numbers and markings are easier to read vs the low/wide type turrets.

    Rifle Scopes Zeiss S5 vs the Zero Comp optics quality

    Yeah I like it. I have a Steiner M7 4-28 and Minox ZP5 5-25 to compare to. The only odd thing about the Zeiss is the elevation turret has a muted sound and feel. The windage turret is great. I haven't heard anyone else complain about this, so I think it's a one-off problem. I plan on sending it...

    Rifle Scopes Zeiss LRP S5 turret question

    I was hoping I just needed to spread the grease around. Ill update this post once I get the scope back from zeiss.

    Rifle Scopes Zeiss LRP S5 turret question

    Yeah I thought i read something to that effect in the manual, but I wasn't sure. The windage turret is probably the best turret I've ever felt. I'm going to keep using the Zeiss for a couple weeks and see if the elevation turret improves.

    Rifle Scopes Zeiss LRP S5 turret question

    It's got those screws like most other euro scopes. Will i mess anything up by taking the turret off? Some mfgs advise against it.
