    Rifle Scopes 1-4X magnification design

    Re: 1-4X magnification design Axio, your observation is consistent with my general explanation, you have slightly higher magnification at very short ranges than at infinity/long ranges. I cannot comment on whether your scope is supposed to do what it's doing though, that would be a question...

    Rifle Scopes 1-4X magnification design

    Re: 1-4X magnification design Axio, let me try to give you a general explanation for what you are observing. Closer objects seem to be magnified more than objects that are further away with a ~1x optic. This due to the fact that, in simple terms, when looking through the scope, you are...

    Rifle Scopes Zero problem / PH zero stop issue?

    Re: Zero problem / PH zero stop issue? KeithR41, I'm not sure I understand your problem correctly, but if you're trying to "adjust" the zero stop so the turret stops at some other setting, forget it, that's not how the turrets are designed, it is a very simple design that you can't fuck up...

    Re: Parallax questions Parallax free distance will change with atmospheric conditions because the air between the target and the scope acts as a "lens" that changes its properties with changing temperature, pressure, humidity etc. Also, temperature changes to the scope itself can change the...

    Rifle Scopes Aiming using the Reticle ... Is it this easy?

    Re: Aiming using the Reticle ... Is it this easy? Yes it is this easy, that's why every scope should have its reticle and adjustment in the same units. Try not to think in "clicks" but rather in MOA all the way, your reticle isn't graduated in clicks either.
