    Mildot Binos. Anyone?

    Re: Mildot Binos. Anyone? Hi Greyson I've had the 10x42R Tactical's at least a couple of years now, and can't remember the price (and I live in New Zealand so have to add shipping and local taxes). SUMR reticle is great too, crisp. Do a web search to find a diagram of the reticle. But...

    Rifle Scopes opinions on the Horus H37 reticle

    Re: opinions on the Horus H37 reticle Fantastic. I have the H37 in a USO SN3 TPAL 5-25 x58 on a .338LM AWSM. At 1600m I'm getting close to the bottom of the visible grid with 250gr scenars, so I start dropping the magnification to about 10. I expect I'll get another 300m before there's no...

    Steiner 10X42R vs Vortex Viper R/T 10x50

    Re: Steiner 10X42R vs Vortex Viper R/T 10x50 I've been using Steiner 10x42R with SUMR for a couple of years too, and they are great. I don't use them on a tripod though. Very clear images. I previously had 7x50 Steiners which were great too, but the 10x42R's are a lot more compact so I...

    Re: New Zealand? Sure are. I live in Wellington, and have run a few long range matches. You may like to check out www.gunslinger.net.nz for info. I shoot an AWSM in .338 using a USO SN3 TPal 5-25x58 - and I'm a Horus Vision fan. Anything you're particularly after?

    Rifle Scopes Question about Horus reticle

    Re: Question about Horus reticle I use a USO SN3 TPAL 5-25x58 with a Horus H37 retical in an Accuracy International 18moa sloped base, and works just fine. With the USO I can use the knobs or just the reticle (which is the norm for me). But as wirehand mentions, if you have one of the...

    Ashbury/Vectronix Tripod Question???

    Re: Ashbury/Vectronix Tripod Question??? I've got the Vectronix SST-3 mini tripod, think it's great, and these are what I see as some of the advantages: - non-magnetic for LRFs with compass (mine's currently Newcon 2500CI) - has spade 'feet', and stays in place on steep wet slopes - sized for...
