    Rifle Scopes New March Scopes for 2020

    Is the TT your benchmark for others to beat?

    Rifle Scopes New March Scopes for 2020

    Good question - well asked. The locking lever is a simple slide. Move to the blue dot and click through elevation/windage. Move it back to the red dot and the turret will not move. I know that because I did not check the setting and applied a lot of manual pressure on one turret and no...

    Rifle Scopes New March Scopes for 2020

    Zero Set and Turrets Just spent a happy 15 minutes setting up the zero on the scope. Standard March turret set up - loosen three grub screws, rotate to the O mark and tighten the screws. Crowbar not required! The new Zero set works with the same supplied Allen key. Tighten the screw moves...

    Rifle Scopes New March Scopes for 2020

    700m is the tree stand to the left of the cattle yard. The ridge line is 3500m. I was working tree resolution at 3000m (below the ridgeline). And zoomed in at 18 power at 700m. Once again the camera image does the scope absolutely no justice. The image at "competition magnification" is...

    Rifle Scopes New March Scopes for 2020

    I took the March 42x HM out to my hunting block (separate photos refer), to test its optics and handling in real world conditions. The weather was harsh; 32 deg C at midday with a hot wind at an altitude of 900m. And there was a bushfire that broke out as I drove home that cut the road. It went...

    Which scope did you look at? I have been playing with the 42x High Master for several days now and I am not experiencing any of those issues. I will do a mini-review later. The 28x is only at demonstration stage so not sure on your pricing statement too.

    Rifle Scopes Leica PRS 5-30×56 with PRB Reticle

    HORUS does like to send rude legal letters to people. But I am more interested in the tooless turrets. I have had one elevation turret go south on me in a match because I had not tightened the screws and I have been religious in cross checking since then.

    Rifle Scopes New March Scopes for 2020

    Having now set the scope up on various rifles and then dry firing in the backyard, my initiation impressions are very positive. "Optical brilliance" is perhaps appropriate? Field use will tell me that. Firstly, the initial eye relief set up is "finicky" and took me three goes with the scope...

    Rifle Scopes New March Scopes for 2020

    The turret is "too less" once the zero set is established. There are currently three grub screws that loosen the turret to allow zero to be set and there is a single grub screw to set the "zero set". Once the elevation zero is set, then the turret can be locked manually with a flick of the...

    For Australian pricing you will have to approach BRT directly after SHOT Show. By glass, I take it you mean optical resolution under difficult conditions and at long range?

    Rounds will go down. Had a dry fire session in the backyard. Very, very impressive from the sling. Further impressions in due course, if people are interested.

    My 42x arrived today. Very excited and working my way around the features. The turret locking rings for elevation and wind. And the focus ring locks too.

    Well it comes down to the Trinity in competition - weight, optical clarity, and precision. I am liking the look of the 28x for all those three attributes.

    That 4.5 - 28 x 52 with the Xmas Tree reticle is something I am waiting on too. The eyepiece - wide angle and good eye relief should make it very forgiving for stress position shots. But the light weight is the topping point for me. I'm tired of carrying 18 to 25lb rifles when I don't need to!

    Rifle Scopes What The Joes Use: Top Optics Manufacturers in Local PRS Competition

    I love these reports. Keep it up. My only issue with the US surveys, and it is an observation not a criticism, is how to moderate sponsorship of shooters - how can that be measured and how much of a real issue is it with your survey against other surveys that only look at the top achieving...

    Finest Sniper Rifle of WWII?

    The book to read as source material for what it is like to receive long range volley fire is: The advance from Mons 1914 / by Walter Bloem ; translated from the German by G.C. Wynne ; with a foreword by Sir James E. Edmonds.

    Finest Sniper Rifle of WWII?

    Taking it a step sideways from the original question, you have to remember that British Army doctrine was to create beaten zones at long range through the use of rapid fire to break up opposing formations. (Machine guns being considered too modern) Hence the long range sights on the early Lee...

    Two words that make the difference between the M39 or '03 and a No4 with scopes on - cheek weld.
