    Rifle Scopes Lightweight short range hunting optic?

    Okay, what can compete with it in its size category?

    Scope dope

    Speed drop doesn't work* with my gun, so yes, I use the tables. *It's accurate for the span between 150-350 yards, roughly, so pretty niche.

    Rifle Scopes Is there a market for a good MPVO

    I would really like a company like Nightforce to have dropped that Eotech shortboi in 2-3 to 12x. Throw an FC-DMX in it. That said, go ahead and make the obj. 50-55mm. Gather ALL the light. Tube size can be crazy if you go with an integrated mount with ACOG footprint. 20-22oz without mount is...

    Vortex 2025?

    The all black Gen 3 Razor 1-10 is kindof cool.

    Proportionate scope rings

    I don't see why it wouldn't.

    Proportionate scope rings

    Certainly the tests are backyard, but they seem to mirror reality well enough.

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    Safran/O1 has had a lot of pressure put on them to sort this. I am confident it isn't getting back burnered. So much so that I bought my original TAD back, now that I have a pas29b for the interim, and do appreciate some of what TAD brought to the table.

    Proportionate scope rings

    When trends emerge, it's hard not to take note, however.

    Proportionate scope rings

    I buy stuff that the military has tested and found satisfactory for the type (size/weight) optic I am using it for. Nightforce, Reptilia, Geissele, etc. I then go based off of preferences (height, weight, attachment method, etc) and pick from that pile. You can debate the merit of each mount...

    Scope dope

    Turrets are capped on my NX8s, why dial? I like to dial for elevation, hold for wind. Just habits from when I shot bolt guns with higher magnification scopes. Also, no, I don't think it would make sense to most people. I solve problems differently, so I do what works for me unless it's got a...

    Scope dope

    100%, what worries me is when I see "3.2 mils" That "2" is going to reflexively cause me to dial 3 mils and 2 clicks, because "2" and "2". That's what I am trying to get away from is the hind brain dicking things up.

    Scope dope

    Yes, but the charging handle ate it. I did add mils for hold off, though. I agree that clicks are juvenile, but my nx8 has 0.2 mil adjustments, and of course each mil is marked. My brain works better dialing something fast in a hurry when it sees "12 clicks" and just spins the knob 2 mils ("big...

    Nice! I just did this tonight, actually:

    Leveling scopes…tools?

    I take my cell phone out of the case, use the level app to true my Badger DL to 0.0*, then I mount the mount to the DL, torqued correctly, and check true on the TL, then I mount the scope in the mount, on the DL, and true it to 0.0* just like the DL (really you can true to whatever value you...

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    After using my PAS29b some more, I've come to a few conclusions: -The "Normal programmed modes" are pretty darn good. The only one I mess with is Arctic, I will up the gain to -2 to -4. I don't think Safran made a bad call removing this feature though honestly. It's of minimal use when the...

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    Safran says it's normal. I asked them what causes it in the lower brightness settings. I believe it's likely that the PAS29B uses a PWM system to manage brightness, in which case this would be typical. The screen cap feature is pretty cool. Screen cap reviewed indoors and photographed.

    I'll ask about the flicker.

    Which Oil Do You Use to Wet Mount Scopes

    Lol! My main goal is just for the clamping surfaces to seat properly when torqued. Most any lubricant will suffice.
