    Rifle Scopes quick zoom scope accessory

    Re: quick zoom scope accessory I believe MGM's Switchview is the big name in throw levers. There is a cheaper made design I believe sold by Brownells or Midway. A number of members have commented on a Plastic/synthetic? twist tie I believe called Breakaway or something to that effect. Nicer...

    Rifle Scopes AR flip up rear sight

    Re: AR flip up rear sight I'd go with Troy. I own the standard and tritium models, as well as the HK style fronts. Ive found open box/ mostly new as low as 75-80 each. They are as solid and reliable as I've come across. It's a backup sight in the end, meant to survive the fail of your...

    Rifle Scopes Ah, There's my Reticle- Astigmatism: HD Glasses

    Re: Ah, There's my Reticle- Astigmatism Thats interesting you have been able to correct that much further with contacts. I understand that lenses correct astigmatic issues like Keratoconus better than glasses can. What was your vision before contacts? I'd like to pick up contacts as well...

    Bushnell Fusion Tripod Adapter

    Re: Bushnell Fusion Tripod Adapter Here's some pics of the tripod adapter that came in. I don't think I'm a fan of the buckle, it does hold it down but the Velcro seems like a better idea to me. And attached to my crappy tripod- Haven't decided yet whether or not its going back...

    Rifle Scopes Ah, There's my Reticle- Astigmatism: HD Glasses

    Re: Ah, There's my Reticle- Astigmatism Im telling you. Its a night and day difference. I cant believe how much I was missing. I think after time passes you get used to it; I did for years. HD glass is out by Zeiss and a good handful of lens companies. You pay a premium for it... I have...

    Rifle Scopes Ah, There's my Reticle- Astigmatism: HD Glasses

    So, aging eyes suck. I've had a set of corrective lenses for some time without having my eyes rechecked. I knew before going in that I've developed some degree of astigmatism as it effects my view through Eotechs. Although obnoxious, I've just barreled through, haven't checked my vision in over...

    Rifle Scopes Smaller Objective Bushnell LRS 2.5-16x42mm

    Re: Smaller Objective Bushnell LRS 2.5-16x42mm I saw that they renamed the elite tactical line. They stand for the following, LRS- long range riflescope ERS- extended range riflescope XRS- Extreme range riflescope I've spoke with Bushnell, unfortunately they do not have a 1/10 mil option in...

    Rifle Scopes Noob Scope Questions/Help

    Re: Noob Scope Questions/Help If you're worried about low end magnification you might want to consider Bushnell's HDMR 3.5-21. It's First Focal Plane, has matching reticles and comes in a variety of reticles that are mil based. It's well reviewed, has a great magnification range and falls...

    Rifle Scopes Smaller Objective Bushnell LRS 2.5-16x42mm

    Re: Smaller Objective Bushnell LRS 2.5-16x42mm I have this scope and am quite happy with it. It is made in Japan, but not to the same standards as the HDMR. +'s -Glass is pretty good (definitely for price (~550) -Design is robust and exudes a sense of durability -Parallax adjustment down to...

    Rifle Scopes Sharp Focus at correct parallax?

    Re: Sharp Focus at correct parallax? I would say you're working against yourself. Unless you are switching on and off glasses/contacts, the diopter on the eye piece should be left alone (that will make spherical corrections for visual acuity and is used to focus the reticle). I may be...

    Rifle Scopes Glass comparison

    Re: Glass comparison I can't comment on the Weaver or Vortex but I own both Bushnell's Elite Tactical and Sightron's SIII. They are both nice scopes and both are clear. Sightron has the edge as far as resolution and contrast. The low variable Bushnell's are plenty bright and I don't mean to...

    Rifle Scopes needing an upgrade

    Re: needing an upgrade Take a look at 3-9x40 conquest in that range for a nice duplex type reticle. Glass and eye relief is very nice, new 399 or better, used ~325. Great, very simple scope. If need be less, Bushnell made a 2-7x32 elite which I own which is nice as well. Glass is not the...

    Bushnell Fusion Tripod Adapter

    Re: Bushnell Fusion Tripod Adapter I must say, it looks like a nice, well thought out product or the money. Maybe it's the stitching and color, but reminds me of Magpul's sling. I like the idea, the band looks a bit thin... Maybe that makes it more versatile but I would pay for the additional...

    Bushnell Fusion Tripod Adapter

    Re: Bushnell Fusion Tripod Adapter Edit: didnt see you already posted the pic. Must not have refreshed my screen. Thanks for putting it up (That would be great, id appreciate to see pics with it set up. The velcro sounds like it would take up slack better than using a buckle. I may have to...

    Bushnell Fusion Tripod Adapter

    So, I've been planning on picking this up for a while and now it will be coming this Tuesday. I had an interesting conversaton with Bushnell not too long after I purchased mine. I voiced my discontent with the model not having a built in adapter for a tripod and they responded saying they hadn't...

    12x50 Fusion 1600ARC Range Finder Binocular

    Re: 12x50 Fusion 1600ARC Range Finder Binocular I saw the video for those. They look very nice, i would assume their release will drive down street prices of the original fusion line. Any idea if they're using the glass from the Elite binoculars in the new model? As i understand, that's the...
