    Any Feedback on Swarovski DS2 5-25?

    It has 2 real operating limitations: 1. Distance: It gives ballistic corrections out to around 1100 yds, so that is the furthest you can possibly shoot with it. It also doesn't give Coriolis corrections, so you have to just hold high or low depending on which direction you're facing for longer...

    Rifle Scopes What’s the plus of having a bigger tube?

    KAHLES K624i - EYEBOX COMPARED TO PRESENT SCOPES

    A Small Rant about AR mounts ahead of April Fools Day
