    KAHLES K624i - EYEBOX COMPARED TO PRESENT SCOPES

    One thing to keep in mind as a "general" rule, the shorter the erector (smaller magnification range) and the longer the focal length typically means more forgiving eyebox, DOF and parallax. I say this as a general rule because there are things you can do with an optical formula that can correct...

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

    The March 4.5-28x52 is in a different league vs. the 3-24x52 - meaning it is considerably better optically and with the new Shuriken turrets mechanically as well. Just because one scope from a manufacturer may struggle doesn't mean they all do. I think I explained some of the shortcomings of...

    Primary Arms Optics - Discovery 2025: PLx Compact Long Range Scopes Unveiled

    I have little doubt that PA has priced their scope according to what they believe the value of it should be. The bigger question is whether or not the market will sustain that price. I made a prediction early on in this thread that if PA prices this scope close to or above the current street...

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

    I’ve heard EO has had some great deals on the old turret models. The “old” turret wasn’t bad at all but the new Shuriken turrets are definitely a step above, maybe even two steps, they are that good. Optically they are the same scope and yes, they are very impressive from an optical...

    Rifle Scopes Alpha Class High Magnification 6-36/7-35 FFP Scope Review

    Beautiful, just the box is exciting :LOL: Seriously though, as you can see from my review, I feel the TT 7-35 is the best optical FFP scope available today. In a couple months I will be reviewing the TT 7-35 with a new version ZCO 8-40x56 and I'm trying to figure out how to get a hold of a...

    Rifle Scopes New for 2025, the Kahles K540i

    I think that's the biggest challenge with Kahles - CS and the possibility it may have to go back to Austria for repairs... Huge advantage for ZCO to be hear in the states and TT in the socialist country above us... quick turn around with any issues and excellent CS. IMO, other manufacturers who...

    Rifle Scopes New for 2025, the Kahles K540i

    Appreciate your input and comparisons R_A_W. That is what good wide FOV gets you, a lot of people don't realize how much of a difference the wider FOV is allowing you to stay on higher magnification yet still see more - it is a distinct advantage! Yep, you really have to see it and experience...

    Rifle Scopes ZCO 5-27 vs March 5-42

    Roger that. As Richard hints, there is a patent by Swarovski in the USA that limits certain wide angle eyepiece designs. The Japanese manufacture scopes seem to have gotten around this, potentially with a different design that doesn't infringe upon the patent; however, manufacturers from...

    Rifle Scopes ZCO 5-27 vs March 5-42

    Curious what you mean by ocular size? Are you talking about the wide angle eyepiece used in the Kahles K540i or is there something different you're referring to?

    Rifle Scopes ZCO 5-27 vs March 5-42

    That was my thought as well; however, maybe what NFShooter meant was the wide angle eyepiece?
