Was not aware I needed a reason, or reasons, to leave. Not doing much of anything at my age, a lot more theory than application. But it seems clear to me by responses to some of my posts that my views are not in line with those here. When I post something and a reply to that post is along the...
Tried search function to no avail. Tried to email [email protected] and it bounced. Is it possible to delete an account and/or all posts associated with that account.
You guys are killing me. Called Cameralandny. Got an Ares with a Christmastree in MRAD and the Talos with a Christmastree in MRAD. So now I will have to take the Athlon off my TAC A1, put the Ares on it, take the Nikon 223 off y CTR and put the Athlon on it, put the Nikon on my Keltec RFB...
I am guilty of reading the entire thread, not just a post. This is a quotation from the first page by birddog6424: 'happen to have a nice real world analogy from this past weekend. The Dog Valley match this weekend presented us with a 700 target shaded by a tree, early morning sunlight behind...
Some random thoughts about DOF and pop. As a rule the DOF gets smaller as magnification gets higher. As you change the parallax you change where the focal point in the depth of field is. Things in focus will be sharp and pop while things out of focus will be blurry and fade into the back...
I would tend to use a camera resolution chart. Easy to find a file online you can download for free and print out. The first thing I look at is how well the "cross" made up of multiple lines in the upper left hand corner shows up. The 'cross' is composed of black lines that start out thick...
A big DOF can help in picking up targets but a shallow DOF means if the target is in the DOF it will pop better. Most photographers want what is called a fast lens because it has a shallow DOF which allows them to get the subject/target in focus to make it pop. Of course this takes time which...
Currently I am using a 4X Trueglow pirated from one of my airsoft toys on my CZ 455 Varmint Evolution. My main act is using a Tikka TAC A1 in CM, but I seldom get a chance to shoot over 300 yards. So the .22 or .17HMR is what I intend to train with. Right now I am looking at this Bushnell in...
Good points. First thing I would note is that we all know the term color blind but don't always have a good handle on what it means. Not to mention that there is really no standard for how we view not only color but other factors as well. In another life I was a serious photographer and...
I am still trying to get up to speed on optics and have seen a few what I call low end scopes that seem to have reticles for specific rounds with specific loads. It kinda worries me that none of the high end scopes I know have this feature. On the other hand I get how it might be helpful to...
That is a good question I don' really know the answer to. The offhand targets are the NRA standard silhouettes in matches. Shooting my TAC A1 I will go up to 34X with the Athlon for paper but that is off a tripod. If the truth be known I don't really have much recent offhand experience with...
The whole point of using a rimfire .22 to train with is to put as many rounds down range as possible so one is not all you need. But my OP was about scopes and which ones had the largest eye box. Not sure how a second rate over priced buttstock would help.
