    I Spy New Baby Razor G3 4-24

    They made reticles in small batches and kept a few around here and there. Also, USO's older designs were very forgiving in terms of the reticle feature tolerance. Modern scopes are not. ILya

    Electronic ones. I already have that in the Element HYPR-7. Eventually, that (or similar) technology will propagate through the scope world. With conventional glass etched reticles, there will never be a high quality riflescope that offers a user swappable reticle. ILya

    I Spy New Baby Razor G3 4-24

    Reticle cells are made in batches. If you only need to make one, it will cost well into four digits due to setup, etc. There are a few places in China that will do it for less, but they are limited in terms of feature size and they are not very consistent in terms of line thicknesses, edge...

    Ditto in New Mexico. At this altitude, anything metal with black surface becomes frying pan hot really fast. ILya

    From what I understand, it is not the same design, but I will know with more certainty when it gets here. ILya

    I Spy New Baby Razor G3 4-24

    I think there is value in consistency of the markings, so my preference is for 0.2mrad based tree reticles that are not excessively busy. The two centerfire rifles I use the most both have Gen3 XR. My rimfire bolt gun trainer that I shoot more than any other rifle I own has RG3 with EBR-7D on...

    Zeiss SFL 12x50 BInoculars

    My go to general purpose binocular for a couple of years now has been the 10x50 Razor UHD. This new 12x50 SFL has almost as wide of FOV. It is harder to handhold steadily, but given how much I glass off of the tripod, it might be worth giving it a shot, especially when out looking for...

    Zeiss SFL 12x50 BInoculars

    Zeiss dropped the 12x50 SFL binos today. I have been messing with them for about a month or so. Here are my impressions. ILya

    Primary Arms Optics - Discovery 2025: PLx Compact Long Range Scopes Unveiled

    Pretty much. Except there isn’t a single YouTuber abusing anything in a remotely standardized or scientific way. Nightforce waqs absolutely instrumental in getting LOW to learn how to build robust scopes when they were just starting. That differentiation is long gone. They build nice scoeps...

    SOLD FS: Tract Toric ELR 4-25x50 mrad

    I am done with my review of the Tract Toric 4-25x50 and now it is just collecting dust in my safe. It might as well go to someone who would be using it. I think there are faint ring marks from the Era-tac mount, but aside from that it is in excellent condition. $1100 shipped within CONUS. SOLD

    I think you are missing my point. Machined tubes are not anything special. Neither is the rest of the claims. How much you hear about these things only depends on how shameless the marketing people at each company are.

    Primary Arms Optics - Discovery 2025: PLx Compact Long Range Scopes Unveiled

    I do not know of any decent scope company using extruded tubes. I’ve visited a bunch of them and they all machine them out of billet. Wall thickness argument is the same kind of nonsense. I think we had a long thread about it a year or two ago. Most riflescope marketing people have a hard...

    Primary Arms Optics - Discovery 2025: PLx Compact Long Range Scopes Unveiled

    Almost the entirety of riflescope marketing and advertising by all companies is certifiably illiterate bullshit aimed at obfuscating anything that might actually offer information.

    FOV seemed better corrected in the PLxC. Eyebox seemed to be very forgiving. There was no tunneling. ILya
