    Rifle Scopes Vortex Viper HS LR optics.......need some input

    Re: Vortex Viper HS LR optics.......need some input I recently purchased the 2.4-10x44 HS and its a fine scope. I have only two discrepancies I'm not sure I can live with for my needs, one is that the BDC reticle is too thin for woods hunting, in my opinion. And second is that the...

    Lens filter for Spotting Scope

    Re: Lens filter for Spotting Scope tipper, you might have to spell out for me "Clear safety glasses or complain!" means, I'm not getting it. You say that filters are not good with coatings, why do my Maui Jim sunglasses make long term viewing (through the scope) much easier on my eyes? They...

    Lens filter for Spotting Scope

    Anyone here tried a camera lens filter for their spotter? I have a Pentax 80mm and put a B + W linear polarized filter (82mm) on it. I'm not sure if I got a dud, filters aren't for high magnification or what, but I could not focus nearly as sharp as without it. It was apparent the moment I...

    Rifle Scopes NightForce 2.5-10x, anything better in this price?

    Re: NightForce 2.5-10x, anything better in this price? sweet17, Are there circumstances that would require you to take advantage of the holdover (velocity reticle) at lower powers; the longer distances necessary to make a holdover would negate the use of of lower powers in the first place...

    Rifle Scopes Kahles Helia K 3-12X50

    Re: Kahles Helia K 3-12X50 The K312 is a fantastic scope in my opinion. I probably only have 16 hours behind it, but glass is superb, bright and resolves beautifully. Field of view is amazing. Tracking is to the T, be mindful it is 1/8moa, but you can zero you POI. Side focus has 50yd...

    Best spotting scope for around a $1000???

    Re: Best spotting scope for around a $1000??? Being that you're in Florida, your chances of a cool day are slim. These fellas are correct about resolution with mirage. I have the 10mm XW fixed eyepiece on the angled version of the Pentax PF-80ED (52x). I can, on a perfect day acquire a good...

    Rifle Scopes PF-80ED Spotting Scope w/ 20-60x Eyepiece Compare

    Re: PF-80ED Spotting Scope w/ 20-60x Eyepiece Compare I personally dont't think the MSC Zoom is that bad at all. I have the 10mm fixed which relates to 52x, and although the 10mm fixed has a wider field of view, the clarity difference is negligable, in my opinion. OregonShooter, which are...

    Rifle Scopes Scope suggestion.

    Re: Scope suggestion. No experience with the SS HD, but had a ERGO 3.2-17x58 and the glass was superb. The field of view left a little to be desired, but the image was crisp and on par with my Kahles and IORs.
