    Rifle Scopes 2.5-20x50 NX8 or 4-16x42 ATACR for 18” DMR

    I feel the same. I am befuddled as to why NF doesn't put that elevation turret on all their scopes. It does everything the other versions do in addition to offering the zero lock that the others don't.

    Rifle Scopes 2.5-20x50 NX8 or 4-16x42 ATACR for 18” DMR

    Just to confirm, 99.9% of what I post is just my opinion. It's worth exactly what you paid for it so consume accordingly. I am not an optometrist, ophthalmologist nor an optics engineer. Your mileage may vary. No animals were harmed in the typing of this opinion. God bless America Epstein...

    Rifle Scopes 2.5-20x50 NX8 or 4-16x42 ATACR for 18” DMR

    That is going to fetch a very subjective answer. I believe it is easy to see against medium to light backgrounds. Lower magnifications would be very problematic for me to reliably resolve the dot itself even if illuminated. Nobody mentioned it anywhere in this part of the discussion but a...

    Rifle Scopes 2.5-20x50 NX8 or 4-16x42 ATACR for 18” DMR

    I'm not 100% sure on tracking with your question. The center dot on the Mil CF2 is going to stay slaved to the image size on the FFP version just like the rest of the reticle elements. Your ability to see it is going to be directly related to the chosen magnification as well as the contrast of...

    It kinda is. . . . . but that is exactly why they can get the great performance and forgiving characteristics out of it. It's not big just to be big. The Dark Lord of Optics/ @koshkin has been on a few podcasts discussing the optical design limits and what is typically penalized when...

    Rifle Scopes 2.5-20x50 NX8 or 4-16x42 ATACR for 18” DMR

    I guess this is where intended usage has to be considered. There are many instances where the user would not want to forfeit the FOV, larger exit pupil and brightness of the lower range. That's kinda my point. It is sub-optimal on the high end and neutered on the low end. You are getting a...

    Rifle Scopes 2.5-20x50 NX8 or 4-16x42 ATACR for 18” DMR

    Which 4-16 ATACR are you referring to? The 42mm objective version is a totally different animal compared to the 50mm version. NX8 is a tad physically smaller but at the cost of an unforgiving exit pupil, more critical eye relief envelope and definitely a much shallower depth of focus when...

    Trump is back…the “Now What” thread

    Exactly what I was bitching about in his 1st term when the useless taints refused to fund the wall. Dumb motherfuckers with a financial dog in that fight. The wall would have been a one time expenditure while the half a $trillion is RECURRING every F'ing year. This is the type of subterfuge...

    Joe Biden Has Cancer

    This is my question as well. Short of an astronaut that's mid mission, the POTUS would likely be the most closely monitored person in the world by medical doctors. HTF did that just sneak up? I guess it likely didn't. The lying cunts were keeping it buried. They just needed him to stay...

    Bankruptcy R700 woes

    Sounds like the hard bolt manipulation = front stock bolt thing is resolved. Bottom DBM. That is a Rem OEM POS. Def not any iteration of the old HS Precision. The OEM bottom metal is so thin and crappy that most shops would refuse to coat them during a rebuild because they were so thin and...

    XM7 worries from the field.

    All good my friend and while the thread has taken legs on a few tangents, that is all part of the debate and schizophrenia of Sniper'sHide. :) To sum up my thoughts on the new Sig rifles...... Yes, Sig is simply delivering on what the MIC wants. They competed against other companies based...

    XM7 worries from the field.

    It will happen but only in the form of an occupation / aid force after they sit patiently for a collapse that they or someone else precipitated. They don't have to invade us to kill us. They simply kick the correct domino over for 90% of the country will eat itself and dissolve into...

    XM7 worries from the field.

    Jared was a friend and a total stud that carried more than his load. He sure did mentor a lot of younger (and older) dudes without knowing it. I've got his pic and KIA announcement on my shop wall to keep his contributions and heart alive.
