    EoTech Vudu 3-9x is in the House !

    As it exists today in SFP flavor I think the lever gun application is ideal for something like this... as a crossover type of scope for a bolt action I'm not convinced, I think most would still prefer the longer more traditional scopes. If Eotech does come out with a FFP mil version it could...

    EoTech Vudu 3-9x is in the House !

    I love the concept of this scope, not so sure about the execution due to the extremely short design. Love the idea of the ACOG compatibility. Would like to hear your thoughts on how forgiving the scope is to get behind, any strange things going on optically (is 3x really distorted/fisheye...

    Rifle Scopes Alpha Class High Magnification 6-36/7-35 FFP Scope Review

    So I've been thinking about this a bit more - the issue of taking video or images through a riflescope using some type of camera system. I think I've come up with a new disclaimer I will put in my reviews, let me know what you think: For a number of years now I have discouraged shooters from...

    44mm vs 56mm

    It depends on what magnification. Some scopes have what's called a field stop that limit exit pupil at lower magnifications, manufactures will do this to overcome some optical limitations (limited DOF, stray light, etc.) due to other design criteria (like shorter focal length scopes). But...

    Rifle Scopes Which Crossover Scope would you choose?

    One of the biggest differentiators between an MPVO and a crossover scope is that the MPVO should be (ought to be) a natural progression from the LPVO, meaning it is the next step up from LPVO in magnification, size and weight without being overly so. In other words, an MPVO would be in the...

    Rifle Scopes Alpha Class High Magnification 6-36/7-35 FFP Scope Review

    Every manufacturer makes improvements over time to the same model, well maybe not "every" manufacturer, but most who care about their product line. Some will put out Gen 2, Gen 3, etc. but most will make incremental updates over time to the optical formula to improve upon performance without...

    Rifle Scopes New for 2025, the Kahles K540i

    It absolutely can help! I think you answered your own question :) Think of it this way - you have scope A and scope B. Scope A has a 22° AFOV and at 20x you can see 9.4 mils from center to edge and then you have Scope B which has 26° AFOV and you can see 13.7 mils from center to edge -...

    Rifle Scopes Alpha Class High Magnification 6-36/7-35 FFP Scope Review

    A rifle scope is its own optical system that is specifically designed for the human eye to be behind the scope. A camera with a lens is calibrated to present an image in perfect alignment with the focal plane of the camera (where the digital sensor resides), if you put another optic that is not...

    Rifle Scopes Alpha Class High Magnification 6-36/7-35 FFP Scope Review

    This is exactly why I frown upon through the scope imagery, you are expecting or hoping that the stars aligned for each scope with everything else being equal (but was everything else equal?). Was everything exactly the same and was there perfect alignment of the camera and lens behind the...

    Rifle Scopes Alpha Class High Magnification 6-36/7-35 FFP Scope Review

    ZCO did not have any spare 8-40's last year when I did my review, but I am getting an 8-40 soon to compare to TT 7-35. I'd also trying to source a Kahles K540i as well and maybe even a March 5-42 G2... that's my goal for this year. @Covertnoob5 has had both (TT and ZCO) so he might be...

    Area419 - The ULTIMATE TEST - 2025 Big Boy Precision Optic Shootout

    I think what Area419 and the other reviews on the Hide have shown is that at this level - the scopes are pretty phenomenal with nuances that might persuade one shooter to choose one over the other but nothing major that would cause one to cast aside a particular scope unless the nuance was a...

    Area419 - The ULTIMATE TEST - 2025 Big Boy Precision Optic Shootout

    Very interesting and Kudo's to Area 419 for taking on such a challenge, as those of us who've done these types of reviews before - it ain't easy! Also, @flyer1a you did mention several times in your video that you don't think anyone has done a review quite like this, yet ILya has, Covertnoob...

    SAI 10 1-10

    Blurry is relative but yes, this is the tradeoff of the LPVO design and why many are moving to MPVO designs. The LPVO simply isn't designed for "precision" work and ends up having too many compromises especially at the higher magnifications and distance (most are preset parallax between 100-150...

    SAI 10 1-10

    Adjust your diopter at 1x, make sure your scope exactly matches 1x with both eyes open. If you try to do diopter like a normal LR scope you will have all kinds of frustrations. An LPVO is first and foremost designed for 1x use and that is where your diopter should be set, if you find it is...

    SAI 10 1-10

    Not if you set the diopter correctly on an LPVO - very different process from setting diopter on a long range scope.

    SAI 10 1-10

    Thorb, Your experience with both pretty much mimics my experience with both. I have been talking about the flare/halation issue with ATI's optics for a while (not just SAI but also with TT, I conjecture it has to do with their multi-coating but I have no concrete evidence to this as of yet...
