    Rifle Scopes March 1.5-15x42 inquiry

    My Mitutoyo is the CD-S6"CT Absolute Solar Digimatic. That's what it says on the paper. I bought it from Amazon 9 years ago. It was $150 at the time, which was years before the runaway bidenflation. So it's probably worth a grtand now. Or nothing because there are other ones. Anyway, I...

    Rifle Scopes March 1.5-15x42 inquiry

    Right. But to be clear, my Mitutoyo did not cost a grand. It's been several years now, but I think it was a few hundred dollars.

    I can't get anything past you. Well done. And very funny.

    Rifle Scopes March 1.5-15x42 inquiry

    That is indeed very strange. I believe March states that its engineering tolerances are within 0.00mm and +0.05mm. So for a 34mm tube, you would see between 34.00mm and 34.05. I measured my March-X 10-60X56HM with a 34mm tube and it was between 34.01mm and 34.03 up and down the tube. I did...

    Rifle Scopes March 1.5-15x42 inquiry

    I have the March 1.5-15X42 SFP; I do not have, nor have I ever tested the new DFP model. I tested the FFP one time, and sent it to another tester. My understanding is that the optical system (the lenses) is the same between the SFP and the DFP/FFP versions. I mounted my 1.5-15X42 on an AR-10...

    Rifle Scopes March 1.5-15x42 inquiry

    Yeah, the weight went up by a whole ounce and a bit. From 29.8 to 31.04. The shuriken knobs do look tall on that scope, because it is so short. We are used to somewhat different proportions, I guess.

    Crap, now I'm envious. Looking forward to some reviews.

    Rifle Scopes March 1.5-15x42 inquiry

    Just a quick note on the fast lever, or throw lever, as you call it. I have been using one on my competition rifle for years. This is the bestest design lever I have seen. Let me explain why. - It is made of polymer (plastic) whereas others are made of aluminum (aluminium) or other metal...

    Rifle Scopes Diopter adjustment help

    No. I don't understand that you're not confirming or infirming my answer to you first main question. You asked if it was normal, and I hazzared a guess about why it would be normal and you ignored it.

    I don't understand.

    Rifle Scopes Diopter adjustment help

    No. It means you're probably a younger person with great eyes that adjust easily. To refine the diopter setting, you might want to take VERY QUICK peeks at the reticle and will probably be very happy with the diopter set at or near 0. The diopter setting has nothing to do with parallax or...

    Rifle Scopes Diopter adjustment help

    What is important is to not have anything in the background that your eye will focus on. So putting a sheet of paper in several inches in front of you scope or aiming at a blank wall will do the trick. Aiming at the sky is another, but if there are clouds, that could be an issue. You want the...

    Kowa TE-80XW

    Yeah, that's not how it works. Anyway, I was playing with my new Smartphone adapter on my Kowa 883 and took these two pictures. The first one is with the TE-80XW 35X and the second one is with the TE-11WZ 25-60X eyepiece set at 35X (as best I could.) Notice the size of the circles. The day...

    If it was made in Canada, then it would aluminium, not aluminum.

    Best spotting scope for over 1 mile

    The larger the objective, the greater the resolution. 115mm quite a bit bigger than 95mm so no surprise that it wins the IQ challenge over the 95, or perhaps even anything else. $7000, 8 pounds and 18 inches long make up the price you pay for that.

    Best spotting scope for over 1 mile

    I completely agree with that, which is why I was a little envious of the coaches who had such optics during my coaching days. The price is steep on those Highlanders, but it is what it is. I find the 883 to be about as good as it gets for viewing from position and being able to detect every...

    Best spotting scope for over 1 mile

    The Kowa Highlander Fluorite model is definitely the top, but at 14 pounds and 17inches by 9 1/2 inches, it's kinda big looking through it in position. I have seen some team coaches using them.

    March 4.5 28 and SB 320 owners I need advice

    I have not used an S&B 320, but I have used a March 4.5-28X52 with the FML-PDK reticle. The reticle is very visible at 4.5X, where the main bars of the reticle stand out, and the tree aspect is more like a chevron at that magnification. You can see that here...

    March 4.5 28 and SB 320 owners I need advice

    I'm not sure I understand your question about the bottom end of magnification being usable. The March-FX 4.5-28X52 HM runs from 4.5X to 28X and it's all usable. The FOV at 4.5X is almost 30 feet at 100 yards, which is huge for that magnification. I'm sure is smaller than the FOV of the S&B...

    March 5-40x56 vs sightron 5-40x56

    I am not familiar with the Sightron 5-40X56, but I am well acquainted with the March-FX 5-40X56. So, I had to look at the specs of the Sightron SVIII 5-40X56 ID IR ZERO, which I think is the one to which you are referring. Well, you said you wanted a big dialer, and that Sightron is certainly...
