    Rifle Scopes To Much Additional Elevation?

    It's more an issue with the erector spring itself than the turrets. Any spring, even if made of unobtainium and goes through a proprietary manufacturing process can still fatigue under constant load. Just consult a metallurgist for an honest answer to that, not a scope manufacturer. Sorry if...

    Rifle Scopes To Much Additional Elevation?

    Do you REALLY feel you need 26+ mil of elevation adjustment on a 308 ? Secondly, do you REALLY feel you need to keep your erector spring completely flattened in the bottom of your tube and limit its life ? If you've answered yes to either of these I doubt there is anything anyone on this site...

    Rifle Scopes S&B total travel question

    Most of mine are on 30 MOA rails but one is on a 20 and I'm getting 20.6 mil with that set up. I only need 18.7 to get a 208 to a mile so I'm fine with that. Obtaining a 100 yd zero will be no issue at all.

    Rifle Scopes S&B total travel question

    I have seen as much as 34 MRAD of total internal travel in some 5-25s but most typically have between 30-32. On a flat rail you should get somewhere around 13-14 of travel, several factors being dependent of course. In my experience I have not seen a deviation of adjustment on the extreme...

    Thanks Eric, I didn't see any specs on which base he was referring to.

    Rifle Scopes S&B Ultra Short

    Total mounting area on the optic is 127.7mm or 5.03". Protrusion on bottom for spring cover is the same dimension as other PMII's. In the photo above I had it mounted in a set of Seekins lows and had a few thousandth's between the scope and rail.

    Rifle Scopes AI Mount S&B 5-25

    Your only issue will be if the 5-25 you acquire has the new style spring cover. The new style cover is easily identified as having a beveled edge around its perimeter and protrudes slightly from the bottom of the tube about 0.7mm. Old style, no issues at all.

    Rifle Scopes S&B Windage question

    Your adjustment should move point of impact, not point of aim. There is a corresponding arrow by the R and L indicating proper direction of adjustment. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me.

    Rifle Scopes Help! SB PM II question

    Your scope should have well over 120 MOA of internal travel. It sounds as if your knob needs reset properly. Call me at the service center if you have any questions. I'll be more than happy to help you out.

    Rifle Scopes S&B Ultra Short

    Actually, the 5-20 has compromised nothing optically in comparison to the 3-20. Personally, I believe the 3-20 lacks a few qualities that the 5-25 has although it is a great scope. Compromises have to be made when designing an optic with a short focal length and/or a scope with a very broad...

    Rifle Scopes S&B Ultra Short

    Initially it will be available with the Tremor 2 but the H2CMR will be directly behind it as an offering. And of course the H59 will be offered as well. So far that's all I've heard of as those are the most requested reticles currently.

    Rifle Scopes S&B Ultra Short

    It is anything but humongous, coming in at 30 cm (11.79") it is quite compact. I was actually thinking it looked a little odd on a 26" barreled bolt gun.

    Rifle Scopes S&B Ultra Short

    MSRP was announced at SHOT as $3499 and I've been told production models are to be illuminated and also have the new low profile double turn locking MTC elevation.

    Rifle Scopes Schmidt and Bender H37 Info?

    It is for ultra long range but also consider it has been around for quite a few years now. I have had a couple issues with coverage on smaller targets at greater distances but only when holding no wind, which isn't that often. I have recently pulled the 37 and replaced it with a 59. A couple of...

    Dots are .06 mil, main stadia is .07, windage stadia left and right of center are .05 and vertical tick marks on those lines are .04. The smaller dots at the .5 mil marks in the grid are .028 mil. Subtensions listed are for the 5-25 PMII.

    Rifle Scopes Field of view is offset at extreme ends of elevation adjustment... Normal?

    Scopes with a limited amount of internal travel require less cant on the base. For example if a scope only has 50 MOA total internal travel and was mounted on a 20 MOA rail nearly all of its downward travel has been used to compensate for this. At this point the erector is nearly bottomed out...

    Rifle Scopes Field of view is offset at extreme ends of elevation adjustment... Normal?

    In regards to Ballistics post. No, actually your statement is incorrect. The text in the diagram is correct. The image enters the erector system inverted at the first focal plane, or the first point of convergence which requires your erector to move up to raise your point of impact. By raising...

    Rifle Scopes S&B Ultra Short

    Actually everything is on schedule for a late summer release on these. The one shown in the video has a single turn locking elevation where the new one will have a double turn but only a couple mm's taller than what you see in the video. Also, the illumination will be in an area that will not...
