    I Spy New Baby Razor G3 4-24

    I have had quite a few Strykers, including the 3.5-21x44. There is nothing questionable about their quality. It is a very nicely made LOW product. ILya

    Rifle Scopes Reticles: thru scope pics! ZCO, TT, NF, S&B, Minox, Horus, Steiner, Kahles, March, Vortex, and More!

    It is substantially the same. I assumed you saw the video I did on the Gen1 a long time ago since you specifically asked about Gen2. ILya

    Kahles vz ZCO

    The reason I have not commented is that this was a long voluminous conversation that did not look like something I should spend time to read through carefully. I do not fully understand what was the genesis of the original disagreement any more than I understand where it went afterwards...

    New Schmidt Bender?

    This really is very interesting. I went and looked again at that patent and at the patents that appear to have been stacked on top of it more recently. The 2020 patent was abandoned. 2016, 2014, 2011 and 2010 patents are now showing and adjusted expiration date of June, 2026...

    Leica Geovid Pro 10x42 AB+

    I do not think you will find better image quality in an LRF binoculars, at least not that I am aware of. With non-LRF binos, the very top end ones will be a little better: Noctivid, NL Pure, Victory HT. ILya

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark 4HD

    I have one with illuminated TMR and it has given me zero issues. I like both the 2.5-10x42 and 4.5-18x52 Mark 4HDs I have. ILya

    Rifle Scopes March 5-42 Gen 2 PRS Edition

    I've been trying to convince the powers that be to add some "no electronics" or "no binoculars" stages to NRL Hunter, just to mess with people.

    Is the March FX 4.5-28x52 my new ZCO?

    I am glad they took care of you. They are good people. Their products sometimes march (pun intended) to the beat of a different drum, though they work well for me. However, it is always nice to know that the company behind the product is made up of good people. ILya

    New Schmidt Bender?

    If I remember correctly, there are several patents stacked to the original, so I would not get my hopes up too much. Unless there is another court case or Swaro chooses to not pursue it, there should not be any canges from a legal standpoint for quite a long time. ILya

    New Schmidt Bender?

    I do not really have any insight on the efficacy of the specific numbers on the website. Typos on websites are very common. ILya

    New Schmidt Bender?

    Keep in mind that the scopes that tunnel on low power do not seem to be impacted by the patent.

    New Schmidt Bender?

    3.6 - 0.6 degrees is the US spec FOV. 4.2 - 0.7 degrees is Euro spec FOV. Between the CMII and PMII the difference is mostly in the reticle and turret selection. MIlitary oriented reticles like MSR2, etc are on the PMII side of things. Competition oriented ones like TR2ID and GR2ID are in...

    Parallax and focus not same on Razor G3

    Chances are that the eyepiece is not adjusted correctly. ILya

    Is the March FX 4.5-28x52 my new ZCO?

    I know people at March pretty well. There is no way they forgot a scope cap. Still, they will do the right thing for the customer. Ilya

    New Burris XTR PS

    I think it more or less the same optical system as XTR3i, except with a HUD. ILya

    I Spy New Baby Razor G3 4-24

    It is not in the mail (that I know of). I do not have a specific date on when it will be here, but it should not be too long. Either way, regardless of when I receive it, I will not be able to share any of my impressions until they officially announce it. That's sort of a rule, sometimes...

    I Spy New Baby Razor G3 4-24

    In this case, never means exactly that: never. Not in my lifetime. Not in yours. Not in my kids'. These are not the design constraints that will ever change for conventional optomechanical scopes. A run of the mil consumer will never be able to have a clean enough environment to do that...

    I Spy New Baby Razor G3 4-24

    Marking the scope would work, although there is a tolerance there too that needs to be observed and measured. ILya
