    shooting problems that opperator error

    Is this a flinch you've developed from unfamiliarity with a larger caliber or situational problem. Do you have the same response shooting alone or a different rifle? I assume that shooting with your experienced friend you are familiar with your respiratory pause and that is not part of the...

    Expensive bubble level Unecessary

    I drape a cellphone charger over a branch ~ 50 yards. Always have one laying around... Turn magnification up and steady with cord. It's easy to eyeball crosshairs to it. I use a digital angle cube on the rifle, set ring bubble level, adjust reticle to plumb. Works well and fast

    Rifle Scopes Bad Eyesight: FFP or SFP ???

    You might find this helpful... I started a thread awhile back that discusses astigmatisms. There is a test included in the thread. I know first hand how difficult it can be to pick up your reticle. It's possible that over time this has developed. It will effect your ability to view your...

    Rifle Scopes Bad Eyesight: FFP or SFP ???

    The mil reticle in Trijicons Accupoint is very bold. If that's what you're looking for it could be worth considering. Very good glass. Actually, the most common complaint I've heard from others is that the reticle is too thick for their liking. It's a nice scope with positive adjustments and...

    New 75x Eyepiece: Dedicated for Digiscoping

    Indeed, thank you. Not arguing, I just wanted to dismiss any suspicion that either the spotter or eyepiece were subpar and explain that issues with the photographs are from other variables (myself included). It really is an outstanding combination. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    New 75x Eyepiece: Dedicated for Digiscoping

    This has not been properly set up for digiscoping. There is no distortion I'm aware of created by this eyepiece (well, no more than any other physical limitation from this type of setup). Removing the eyepiece all together and attaching a SLR to the body is would be ideal if its for more serious...

    How to Make & Where to Buy 'Big Eyes' : Double Spotting Scope

    Well no, I dont think its necessary or practical to use all the time. I dont have any intentions to replace my scope or permanently modify it. I was thinking of it more as an addition. I'm curious how its worked out for those who've already tried this. Its a little awkward regardless of setup...

    How to Make & Where to Buy 'Big Eyes' : Double Spotting Scope

    This is the setup that got me thinking, I mounted a second smaller spotter where the binos are now. It's may not be ideal or work with the 82mm but it got me excited. I'd like to give it a shot if possible. I just bought a couple new eyepieces for my current spotter... If possible I'd...

    How to Make & Where to Buy 'Big Eyes' : Double Spotting Scope

    I've been looking into this and have stumbled across some really unique projects others have built. I'm aware that SWFA has the Swarovski version but 5k is a bit steeper than I'm prepared for. I've seen people refer to the setup in general as 'Big Eyes', if its SWFA trademark I'll reword it if...

    New 75x Eyepiece: Dedicated for Digiscoping

    So I recently took possession of two new eyepieces for my spotting scope. The first is a variable 25-75x MC 2 and second is a wide view 75x digiscoping eyepiece. Upon receipt I immediately noticed a much larger size and weight than the two I already own. Until now, I've had a 25x fixed MC 1...

    Rifle Scopes Kahles scope offset when mounted on ADM Recon

    How close are you viewing? Try looking through it lefty... Does it appear on other side? Does moving your head closer make make it worse and tilting across stock improve picture? Or, Any windage not brought back to center? Last, try holding your phone/camera directly behind it... Center...

    New Tripod Adapter: Digiscoping and Bi Optic Mounting

    I would say so, its very inexpensive for what you get. Not only do you have the abilility to set a variety of different arrangement but you can swivel any optic sideways and use the tracks for minute adjustment. Its a nice addition/alternative to unlocking you tripods handle. I feel its money...

    New Tripod Adapter: Digiscoping and Bi Optic Mounting

    Yes, that's it ^^ and also where I bought it from. I believe that is the price I paid as well, the sale price (nowhere near the incredibly inflated list price) It's completely universal, nothing proprietary it just attaches on the bottom with standard threads. You can mount to anything that...

    New Tripod Adapter: Digiscoping and Bi Optic Mounting

    I received this yesterday. It's a spotting scope adapter by Nikon. It's designed for digiscoping but I was hoping to get additional use out of it as it seams quite versatile. I will still buy a dedicated one since Nikon build them to fit their cameras to their line of spotting scopes...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns What do you guys use to sharpen your knives??

    My knives are maintained between a Tormek grinder, WorkSharp belt sander (for convex edges) and a several water stones for Japanese style blades. I progress from 1,000-16,000 grit between Norton and Shapton Pro stones. In addition to sharpening free hand I keep a few tools around for assistance...

    My New Bench: Rock BR and Stable Table

    Joe, It's tricky to describe the issue. The top of the table is actually fairly steady and resistant to movement. When sitting on the chair the you weight distributes fairly well to the already 60 pounds of table, 15+ of rest and 10+ of gun. Even without sitting, the top is fairly sturdy...

    My New Bench: Rock BR and Stable Table

    Yeah, that doesn't all come with me. I wanted to try utilizing the top in different ways to keep things out of the bag/off the ground while making things more accessible. The Stable table has made home in my yard where it will have plenty of use. I'm fortunate in that I can do a bit of shooting...

    Rifle Scopes Opinion wanted: "Cheaper 8-32 scope" needed.

    I think you and your friends will be very pleased. Which models and reticles did you get? One thing to be prepared for... The parallax adjustment is going to be incredibly stiff. Theyre meant to be. It can be quite a surprise if your not expecting it. It will Never move accidently and you wont...
