    DNT is gonna let us do a reticle

    Same with me. One gets used to it.

    DNT is gonna let us do a reticle

    The top shooters have shot so much that wind holds have become more intuitive than much of the rest of the shooters. Back when I was at the top of my game by practicing twice a week I began to know where to aim in one respect and in the other respect I still used the .2's because that's what I...

    Looking for recommendations for long range air rifle

    Thanks for the heads up. The only thing I've bought from him are Altaros slugs which he had put on sale at buy 3 get 1 free. I buy my AGT's from Derrick at Tenacious Air, then pay a little more for his tuning services, even if the gun is brand new. My V3 does 1.1" fairly consistently at 100Y...

    DNT is gonna let us do a reticle

    Looking seeable on 3x but the circle at .75 mil thick might be pushing it a bit because it intrudes a little for a windage hold at 2 mil below the center dot. After looking at it .5 mil thick and 5.5 mil wide would probably be better?? Also maybe make the circle quadrants even/the same, and...

    DNT is gonna let us do a reticle

    That's getting close. Are the side bars just off the 5 mil hashes .1 mil thick, edit, they look more like .4 mil thick?

    DNT is gonna let us do a reticle

    @blksno. yes, "I can tomorrow...but I think a better question is to just ask what reticles are usable at 3x...what features do you like to have usable at 3x and design accordingly. Personally, I don't think there is 1 answer for both options. What you're asking for is 6.7 PowerStroke in an...

    Looking for recommendations for long range air rifle

    No just sometimes. Generally it's not easy to get any more than 1100+ fps with airguns and most shoot well using slugs in the 850 - 1000 fps range. BC's vary quite a bit just like they do in firearms world. For example; A high G1 BC for a heavy per caliber pellet is .06 so it's much less than...

    I personally don't have any plans to buy one but they can produce a lot of power.

    Looking for recommendations for long range air rifle

    I forgot to mention the G1 BC of those 60 grainers which is .245. That means even though these are starting off a bit slow they retain down range velocity and energy well. They also blow in the wind less than lower BC slugs. A 40gr 22rf bullet has a typical G1 BC of .16-ish so .245 for the...

    Rifle Scopes New Athlon MPVO options for 2025

    Yep. Try as I may....I asked for a Jap instead of Chin but I think these IPVO/MPVO scopes are so niche that they fear low sales. I do however applaud them for bringing out the Helos G2 2-12 which was quite a departure back then. I think Athlon put most of their efforts into their NV and Thermal...

    Looking for recommendations for long range air rifle

    AGT is coming out with a Vulcan 3 HP, not sure but it might be out?? I have a tuned V3 in 25 cal. Sends 60gr Altaros slugs at 862fps or 99 fpe. The HP version should get you about another 100 fps more. This is .250" barrel. There are some .257's that other companies make with more power to...

    Rifle Scopes New Athlon MPVO options for 2025

    Let's just say the G1 Ares BTR was a somewhat decent first try. I had the G1 2.5-25, I found the IQ not bad at all. It's the turrets action which moved too easily that bothered me. I didn't buy a G2 version 2.5-15 nor got to fiddle with one, so High Hopes for the G3?! I'd guess that with more...

    Rifle Scopes New Athlon MPVO options for 2025

    I've mentioned that to them before. I was hoping for a Cronus G3 in 2-12, well a 2.2-13.2 would suit me better, and with a similar reticle to the 2-12 DMR modified a bit. The G3, I'm surprised they went so much thicker, which is pretty brave considering they started designing the G3 back when...

    Back?, which one exactly are you referring to?

    Rifle Scopes New Athlon MPVO options for 2025

    I haven't been keeping up with what all is new at Athlon but I saw these this morning and thought I'd mention them. It's the .06 mil reticle thickness and the G3 upgrades that interests me. I had the G1 MT 4-16 which is a stand out of priceperquality and sold it right away because it was hard...

    Rifle Scopes LPVO Comparison: March Shorty 1-10x vs Kahles K18i-2 1-8x

    I'm envisioning; #1 that the TT 7-35 could be voted on to have the best IQ of any FFP at 35x! #2 but how nice would it have been at 40x, or 45x, or higher. Or to my point how much magnification would it still pull off that stellar IQ. Would I like one, heck yeah I would!!!! If my XRP cryto takes...

    Rifle Scopes LPVO Comparison: March Shorty 1-10x vs Kahles K18i-2 1-8x

    Please don't take my comments as attacking March. I still own two of them which I like for various reasons. But nothing is perfect, right?! I'm not lying or making bold claims, instead I'm telling exactly what I saw. Like I mentioned, and admitted, to me the HM 10-60's I looked through have...

    Rifle Scopes LPVO Comparison: March Shorty 1-10x vs Kahles K18i-2 1-8x

    Yes but because it's only 8x-10x it's not bad. One time when shooting somewhat into the sun it was hard to concentrate on the white painted steel against a black cinder background at 1143Y. It was noticeably more pleasant shooting at the same steel using my Athlon Helos 2-12. Both scopes lacking...

    DNT is gonna let us do a reticle

    Lets say FFP at 3x, if stalking through the woods with visibility between 25Y to 75Y, and one needed to make a snap shot on a deer, how large of a COD could we get away with? If large enough it would be less likely to obscure when zoomed in if left at say .1 mil wide but was lit daylight bright...
