    Rifle Scopes vortex crossfire

    Re: vortex crossfire 20 incher: forgot to mention, you should see about 19 moa down from your 100 yard zero to a 200 yard zero, and another 11 moa to go to 250 yards. Now, @ 100 yards a 40gr 22LR bullet leaving muzzle @ 1250 fps is abt 3 moa down, so, say, 5 moa from the scope horizontal...

    Rifle Scopes Cheep Binos??

    Re: Cheep Binos?? I got the Leupold Yosemite 6x30 for my boy's first hunt this year. I find them astonishingly good for the money - totally worth buying: their lowlight capability is only a few minutes behind much more expensive models, very compact, good center clarity, decent clarity on the...

    Rifle Scopes Help me decide.

    Re: Help me decide. Cookie - that's a tough one. Imho the SS is definitely better glass and more robust. But, clearly, the flexibility of an 8-32 is really attractive. Some people are a bit too ready to bash Mueller - I think they are a good company that provides value at the price point they...

    Rifle Scopes New Weaver 3-10x40 mil/mil vs Super Sniper

    Re: New Weaver 3-10x40 mil/mil vs Super Sniper The closest SS model to the Weaver 3-10x40 (I assume that's what you are talking about?) is the 3-9x42SS, which is an FFP scope. The Weaver is only 56 moa, and it is risky to use with 20 moa bases, as you might run out of adjustment (this arrived...

    Rifle Scopes Help me out!

    Re: Help me out! Slow and Steady: my bad. The 4200 6x24 only has 48 moa, and, you are right, it is possible that it will not work with your dad's mount. In fact, it has happened to some. I would not be too comfortable buying it if it was going on a 20 moa base:( I guess this is one reason you...

    Rifle Scopes help - proper parallax adjustment

    Re: help - proper parallax adjustment The reticle remains clear. For a given distance, you eliminate the parallax by (1) ballparking it using the graduations on the ring if any, then by (2) adjusting it so that the reticle does not appear to move with respect to the target when you move your...

    Rifle Scopes Hawke optics scope I saw today

    Re: Hawke optics scope I saw today Hawke binos have excellent glass and good mechanicals (somewhat similar to the Zen Ray line, I believe from the same factory), way beyond their price, and not very far from alpha glass, despite being about 1/5th the price. Their only significant drawbacks...

    Rifle Scopes Help me out!

    Re: Help me out! Slow and Steady: the 4200 line has good glass and very decent mechanicals. The warranty is good for the first buyer but not transferable. The Falcon Menace has many instances of failure, both for the glass and the mechanicals, does not have as good glass as the 4200, and does...
