    New MPVO - Zero Tech 1.5-12x36 FFP Vegence HD

    Someone in the comments of this video says that Primary Arms is also coming out with a 1.5-12. Unfortunately if they do it'll likely have an ACSS type reticle. Again the video isn't worth watching, although there is some unintended comedic value.

    New MPVO - Zero Tech 1.5-12x36 FFP Vegence HD

    You cant say I didn't warn you about the video! My expectation these days is that there will be something major wrong with it. If it weighs less than 25oz I'll be shocked.

    Rifle Scopes Reticle size vs zoom range ffp

    You are correct, but that's because NF changes some of the reticle thickness depending on which scope the reticle is put into. For the OP: On the other hand the EBR-7c reticle isn't adjusted to suit different magnification, so will look the same in all Vortex scopes.

    New MPVO - Zero Tech 1.5-12x36 FFP Vegence HD

    Interesting, will be excited to see what other companies bring to the table. If it's a JOL design I'm guessing we will see a lot of different flavours of this scope in no time. Heres hoping company's are paying attention to the reticles in these scopes.

    New MPVO - Zero Tech 1.5-12x36 FFP Vegence HD

    A mate sent me this video (don't bother watching it is a complete waste of 8mins) that suggests a new MVPO is going to be released soon. Zero Tech isn't a brand that pops up very often, I believe they are quite popular in Australia though. The video is terrible and contains no useful...

    Rifle Scopes Reticle size vs zoom range ffp

    Yes it will look the same.

    Rifle Scopes Reticle size vs zoom range ffp

    Short answer is yes a .1mil line looks the same in all scopes at the same magnification as it's the same size in all scopes. The long answer is just because the main line thickness it the same in two scopes, doesn't mean that the reticle in general looks the same. Spacing and thickness of harsh...

    Flying Through the USA with a gun (Non US Citizen)

    So I spent an hour or so phoning different Government agencies, not having a huge amount of success. I thought I finally got somewhere when the Department of Commerce told me to contact the PM/DTC (Department of State apparently) where I was able to lodge a request for information. They replied...

    Flying Through the USA with a gun (Non US Citizen)

    Unfortunately there are no direct flights, I need to stop over somewhere. The options are either the USA or Asia. Some countries have very simple rules regarding flying with firearms, but the airlines that fly there don’t always have the best policy. It would appear flying the USA is one of the...

    Flying Through the USA with a gun (Non US Citizen)

    The airlines do have their own policy, but when it comes to the requirements for the country you are visiting that is on you to sort out. If I were traveling to the US it would be easy (form 6NIA) required, but just transit through a US airport is the problem. Based on the reputation of TSA...

    Flying Through the USA with a gun (Non US Citizen)

    LAX has 9 (I think) different terminals and they won't move your baggage between them. In the past I've flown into T2 cleared customs, walked 5 mine (if that) to T3 and checked in to another airline.

    Everyday ammo

    What flabvour Eley is it? I have had very mixed results with Eley. Any Tenex, Team, Match I have tried has been good, even Eley Standard. Eley Club has been extremely inconsistent between batches, and 38gr Subs have gone from an ES of 50ish to and ES of over 100 with horrible high low fliers in...

    Flying Through the USA with a gun (Non US Citizen)

    I wont be flying the same airline the whole way through, so am fairly sure I'll need to clear customs. Every time I've been through LAX I have needed to clear customs, especially if there is a gate change. I can look to see if there is another airport I can transit through (SFO, JFK etc) but it...

    Flying Through the USA with a gun (Non US Citizen)

    Not sure where best to post this, assume this forum is section is as good as any. I am planning to fly to Europe which likely involves going through the USA with a rifle. I've done a lot of research and found the requirements for travelling to the USA (need a ATF 6NIA form) but have read that...

    22lr maintenance

    I've never noticed a huge change in POI /accuracy after cleaning. However swapping from Norma Tac (very greasy) to Eley Standard (virtually mo grease) I found it took about 30 shots for the barrel to acclimatize, accuracy and POI was all over the place for the first 2 magazines and on the 3rd...

    22lr maintenance

    I do the Vudoo method. Every 500 rounds or so: soak the chamber in C4, clean the breach face and extractor cut out, run a few wet patches through the bore, then dry patches. Clean the bolt as required, usually just brush off the bolt face.

    Everyday ammo

    CCI SV was always go to, but managed to pick up a lot of Norma Tac for cheaper than CCI. Norms Tac is considerably better ammo (accuracy and ES) and is better than a lot of lower end Eley I've tried, but CCI SV is good enough for practice that if it's the cheapest "match" ammo you can find then...

    Nope, straight into full send. I have great faith walking isn't going to be a problem.

    Not bad, but show us the groups at 100 and 200yards that's where the rubber hits the road.

    Help me pick a scope...

    Ziess LRP will be the best if you find a used one, Burris XTR Pro a little behind. If buying new then Athlon Cronus.
