    Rifle Scopes overheard an interesting comment at range today

    Re: overheard an interesting comment at range today Everyone has a different oppinion because everyone has different eyes. If you are 20 years old you can see a target at 300 yards with iron sights. I'm 66, have astigmatism and can't see squat at 100 yards without a good scope. So, what is...

    Rifle Scopes Minox ZA-5

    Re: Minox ZA-5 I have the 4-20 and it is great glass for the money. I like the minoplex reticle because it is a little thicker than the plex I have on my Swarovski and I have a bit of astigmatism that blurs the thinner reticle. So, the Minoplex shows up better for me than the plex. Mine...

    Rifle Scopes Objective size

    Re: Objective size T2CH - the tube size has nothing to do with light gathering. Tube size translates to erector movement and the larger tubes generally have more elevation and windage but not more light gathering. The light gathering has to do with the objective size but not the tube.

    Re: 30mm to 1" ring inserts?? I have a Savage .308 FCP-K and I put a rail on it so I could move scopes on and off. I use the Aadmount 20 moa base on it. Jon makes those in 30 mm but I whined a lot and he produced some inserts for a 1" scope. I have no idea if that is a product yet, but...

    Rifle Scopes Scope Leveling/Feeler v. Level with Plumb/Results

    Re: Scope Leveling/Feeler v. Level with Plumb/Results I'm confused. Above was stated: "Mr Haaken said it: scopes can be off 1-3 degrees from vertical." Does that mean you can expect the top turret to be tilted from the reticle by as much as 3 degrees? Does that also mean that when you...

    Rifle Scopes Eye glasses and scopes

    My eyes are getting worse and my astigmatism is making everything look double. So, when I look through a great scope lose detail. I have looked at a number of shooting glass vendors but I have more questions than I do answers. I usually use a bifocal with the distance vision on top and the...

    Rifle Scopes Great CS from Jon Aadland

    I have a mount from AADLAND on my SCAR and it is absolutely bullet-proof. Jon Aadland guarantees his products and I got a chance to see how good the customer service is. In addition to my SCAR mount I purchased a set of his medium rings. I am one of those guys who is very careful about...
