    Vortex Razor LHT

    That moves the whole image with the reticle. Where the reticle is IN the image (i.e. where the POA is) does not change. All eyepieces exhibit this effect to some degree. ILya

    Rifle Scopes Revisiting drop testing

    That's a very succinct appeal to sanity. The simple truth is that we all have different opinions on who bears the burden of proof and how much effort we are willing to make toward proving it. I am not particularly invested in putting any more time and effort into proving that drop tests the...

    Rifle Scopes Revisiting drop testing

    A while back someone sent their Tract scope to the Rosklide crew for this testing (if memory serves me right). They claimed that it failed, so it went back to Tract. Somehow, it got around to me which is how I ended up spending more time on this silliness than I ever wanted in the first place...

    Vortex Razor LHT

    Wet mounting, when done correctly, decreases the probability of issues. To be fair, I do not grease the screws. I have not found that to make any difference. I put some grease onto the three datum surfaces of the stanag clamp. How much of the zero shifting is due to dry mounting is...

    Night Vision N-Vision Clip On Thermal ?

    The "bust" people will be forever unhappy. Most people just want a good image and a well engineered device. They'll be happy. ILya

    Night Vision The Official: Steiner C35 Thermal Clip-on Review and User Thread!

    This would position the center of the screen toward the edge of the center of the day scope image, but it will not impact that aiming point. ILya

    Night Vision N-Vision Clip On Thermal ?

    FLIR latest core is very good. I see it get a lot of use on the other side of the fence and the image quality looks to be a big step up from their previous generation. ILya

    Vortex Razor LHT

    I have been out of the loop with this for a bit, so I have not looked at that silly nonsense for a little while. I suspect that which scopes pass the alleged test and which do not mostly comes down to the preferences of the people doing the testing. The one observation I'll make is that with a...

    Thermal clip-on for 4x ACOG: VooDoo-M, N-Vision Halo-C, Excelitas Dragon C12-XR, or something else?

    Beyond 100 yards. That's a pretty good combination. I would not be worried about Voodoo's image quality. I know them a little bit through my dayjob and they are VERY good at getting good image quality out of whatever core they get. ILya

    Thermal clip-on for 4x ACOG: VooDoo-M, N-Vision Halo-C, Excelitas Dragon C12-XR, or something else?

    They made an old antiquated design that is not competitive with the latest from other companies. Good image quality, but there is more than that to a commercially successful product. They would either have to make a serious investment into the next generation or stop. ILya

    Tariff effects on imported optics

    Yes, but it has not fully settled yet. Some brands bumped their prices up. Some kept them low and used the opportunity to gain market share. Some just ride the tariff variations and maintain consistent margins rather than play games around it. ILya

    Thermal clip-on for 4x ACOG: VooDoo-M, N-Vision Halo-C, Excelitas Dragon C12-XR, or something else?

    DRS and FLIR make cores in the US. Seek/Raytheon do as well. Dalsa makes cores in Canada. Lynred makes them in France, but they can likely adapt to making sensors in France and cores in the US if they want. Ilya
