The Mk4 does not have a reticle focus. I used to have a Bushnell Excursion you're talking about, but sold it. I did like that the crosshair could be focused, but didn't like the peripheral distortion or that I'd have to refocus the crosshair when changing power. That's why I absolutely loved my...

As far as I'm able to ascertain, I have my account set up to send me email notification when receiving a reply to a thread I've authored or am participating in. So far, I haven't received any notifications. Is there some other setting I may need to change for it to happen?

The King, another question, since you have this same model, at what power do you begin to see image bending when dialing down from max power (if any at all)? Or, does the image remain steady all the way out to the edges when moving your eye around (or, conversely, when panning the scope), all...

Yeah, except this seems like more than a fine tune. That, plus the distortion and crosshair out of focus at lower powers make me think this isn't the way it is supposed to be, i.e. "spec". In fact, what's really upsetting is that there were no such discrepancies when I first got it. The focus...

Thank you for the replies. What's happening with mine is that if I focus at high power (40X), the image and crosshair (yes, a folded light path spotting scope) are both focused with no parallax. Say a target mils to 5 mils. I leave the focus set and zoom out to lowest power (12X). The image...

Is a quality variable power spotting scope expected to maintain a certain focus throughout the zoom range, or is there usually some refocus necessary when changing to a different power?

Pretty normal if you're up there in age. The lens loses elasticity as we get older. I hate it when I have to use my left eye for the spotting scope and all I see is a blurry image, and then back to the scope with my now-blurry right eye. It sure doesn't help in reading mirage! I really wish I...

Ooh, ooh, pick me! Pick me! Because 30-06 was a Palma cartridge when the article was written (not too long ago to us old farts)? Rules and Tips for Palma Rifle Shooting in the USA.

Just got mine (Yay!). Looks great, but different than my old one. Does anyone know when the 1750 model was changed from the old knuckle-busting, fingernail ripping latch, non-folding handle, non-reinforced padlock holes model of yesteryear like my old one?

There are probably $180 scopes retailed at $2000 so people think they "must be good", but you'll never find a $2000 scope priced at $180.

For reference, was the range 100 meters as the targets say? And what size are the squares? Thanks.

The long range and Palma matches mentioned DO use precision bolt rifles.

I assume this only refers to sprays then, right?

What lube are you guys using that requires drying before sizing?
