    Just popping in to say I appreciate the ZUMA reference.

    Rifle Scopes New Minox 5x25x56 LR

    It’s by design, exactly. It’s not a defect, they’re doing what they were designed to do. People can decide whether they like it or don’t, but it’s a feature of the scope. Personally it doesn’t bother me in the least.

    Rifle Scopes Minox ZP5 not holding parallax adjustment

    Are you pretty sure that it’s not heat mirage coming off your barrel after 10 shots? Can you adjust the blurriness out with the parallax knob?

    Rifle Scopes Which 35 mm rings to use.

    All the rings being discussed here are very high quality “fancy rings”. The M10s are uniquely user-friendly.

    Get the ARC M10s, the others are just rings.

    Rifle Scopes Scope Purchase HELP!! MINOX / ZCO / TT

    I don’t own a TT or ZCO, but the Minox works great for me. I love almost everything about it. You can get them for quite a bit less than $2850 if you shop around or find a used one. I think ZCO is a big step up with a bigger jump in price... unless you’re paying list for the Minox, in which case...

    Rifle Scopes Minox ZP5 turrets not aligned

    This thread prompted me to finally run a tall target test with my ZP5. It passed with flying colors to 20 mils/36” at 50 yards. The turrets feel great and line up everywhere throughout the full range of travel. I guess my only complaint is that there’s a tiny bit of play at each stop, as...

    Rifle Scopes Minox ZP5 turrets not aligned

    My ZP5 has a slight stiff spot in the parallax knob, right about at the spot where parallax is perfect for 100 yards. I don’t know if it’s a design feature or a glitch, but I find it useful for setting parallax to 100 yards quickly without staring down the tube.

    Bergara B-14 Hunter

    The Hunter is the same action as the HMR but with a thin barrel.

    Then it’s past time to switch to mils. This is a sign from the Lord.

    Monolithic bullets and accuracy

    The 120 TTSX and TSX have both been very accurate and forgiving for me, maybe they’re worth a try. Have you tried Ramshot Hunter? I’ve seen great velocities and accuracy from it. It sure is frustrating when you have a good shooting rifle that won’t shoot the bullets you have to use. Still...

    Monolithic bullets and accuracy

    OP- have you done a deep barrel clean? In my experience the copper bullets shoot best when they’re launched from a freshly-cleaned barrel, or at least one that hasn’t been shooting a wide variety of bullets in it. Seems like different projectiles foul the barrel in different ways. Deep clean...

    Ruger RPR vs Hawkeye Long Range Target (6.5PRC)

    I think the Hawkeye action in general, and older models specifically, just isn’t a popular choice for competition. That certainly doesn’t mean it can’t be used for it. Ruger seems to have the accuracy thing figured out now. The LRT would be a perfectly fine choice to try out in a PRS comp. The...

    Rifle Scopes OPTICS NOT MADE IN CHINA.

    I got some crap from a family member when I bought my first new Accord in 2009: “Why didn’t you buy an American car?” I got a kick out of showing him that my Hondas were built in Ohio, while his Impala was built in Mexico. Still have that 2009, going strong at 164k miles with just scheduled...

    Rifle Scopes Kahles V Minox V NF

    I haven’t dragged my ZP5 through the mud, but it’s been flawless for the few months I’ve owned it. I spin the turrets constantly.

    Rifle Scopes Advice sought: ATACR vs IOR vs Valdada vs Mark 5

    You won’t be disappointed with a ZP5. The overall package is every bit the equal of the ATACR 5-25 and better than pretty much anything in that price range. The NF *might* have a slight edge in the turret feel department, but the ZP5 beats it as far as eyebox/easy to get behind plus FOV and...
