    Rifle Scopes Kahles SKMR3 Subtensions

    I'm considering a Kahles 624i with SKMR3 reticle. The details of the reticle subtensions are on the Kahles web site, but there is an unmarked dimension I am interested in. What is the distance between the center of the central dot and the beginning of the horizontal stadia? In other words...

    Rifle Scopes Scope Design, and Weight Trade-offs

    Perhaps 33 ounces is a wrong number from bad memory and casual research. I don't recall the chart I was looking at which generated this discussion. My interest is more in the design trade-offs and the relationship to weight. The Razor Gen 2 provides a convenient case in point. An 8-10 ounce...

    Rifle Scopes Scope Design, and Weight Trade-offs

    So, there is a weight penalty to pay for the 6x magnification? If the optical elements are mostly to blame, I can see why the 4x AMG and 4x Kahles 624i are lighter. Magnification factors seem to be more about specmanship than anything else. 4x gets you from 6-24x, and 6x widens that slightly to...

    Rifle Scopes Scope Design, and Weight Trade-offs

    What are the biggest drivers of weight in a tactical rifle scope? All things considered, what are the heaviest components? In particular, I am wondering what is in the Vortex Razor Gen 2 that makes it significantly heavier than the average scope in its class. It weighs 48 ounces and the average...

    Manners Composite Stocks Estimated Lead Times

    I'm posting from my phone and don't have my exact order, but the T2A I received in December took only 5-6 months. I'm having it pillar bedded this month.

    Use of Angle Cosine Indicator (ACI)

    Got it. I was letting theory get in the way of practical math. I'm GTG now.

    Use of Angle Cosine Indicator (ACI)

    I understand Steps 1 through 5. Let's say I have everything, including the ACI, set up for a 300yd. shot. Steps 1 through 5, bang. Now I stay in the same position and engage a 600 yd. target on the same horizontal plane as me and the 300 yd. target. But I have to dial elevation onto the scope...

    Use of Angle Cosine Indicator (ACI)

    If the shooting position and the target are on the same horizontal plane, the ACI reads 0. As elevation is dialed onto the scope, the barrel is raised relative to the target. So even if the shooting position and target are on the same horizontal plane, an elevated barrel (and scope rail) will...

    Leupold Mark 4 Spotting Scope Mil-dot Reticle?

    You guys seriously need to contact Donnie at Big River Tactical. His pricing is outstanding and you'll have no worries of whether you are dealing with a reputable company. Who in the heck is Webyshops? Leupold will issue me a call tag for the Gold Ring scope. The Product Service Lead assured...

    Leupold Mark 4 Spotting Scope Mil-dot Reticle?

    So, I paid the big bucks and had Leupold change the Premier reticle to a TMR. The scope arrived today and it looked spiffy - all clean with a nice rubber tacky feel to it. The reticle looked good. However the reticle still cants when the focus ring is dialed, although it cants less than it used...

    Leupold Mark 4 Spotting Scope Mil-dot Reticle?

    Before you all get excited about Webyshops, I have bought several new Leupold scopes from Donnie at Big River Tactical, who goes by 'fpdsniper' right here on the Hide. You all should check with him before buying any Leupold from anyone else. I did check with Donnie, but thought I had a deal...

    Leupold Mark 4 Spotting Scope Mil-dot Reticle?

    The rubber eye cup is torn and the focus ring has a gritty feel when turned. The seller did not advertise the Premier reticle and so I think he didn’t know what it was. I never asked for a picture of the reticle, expecting it to be a standard Leupold mil-dot. So I bought the scope with a known...

    Leupold Mark 4 Spotting Scope Mil-dot Reticle?

    *UPDATE* My scope has finally worked its way through the Leupold backlog. They will not repair it under warranty because it has a third-party reticle in it, and they will not repair it for a price unless they replace the Premier reticle so they can reinstate the warranty. The cost to replace...

    Leupold Mark 4 Spotting Scope Mil-dot Reticle?

    Re: Leupold Mark 4 Spotting Scope Mil-dot Reticle? Thanks JP67. Your catalog from 2004 conclusively proves the Gold Ring spotter I just acquired is identical to Premier product #47878G with a Gen 2 mildot reticle. The serial number indicates that Leupold made the scope in 2002. I've sent it...

    Leupold Mark 4 Spotting Scope Mil-dot Reticle?

    Re: Leupold Mark 4 Spotting Scope Mil-dot Reticle? No worries guys. I have received a picture from someone that shows the Mark 4 spotter mil-dot reticle. It has only dots every 1 mil out to 5 mils in all directions and then ends. There are no half-mil marks. The Gold Ring's major vertical and...

    Leupold Mark 4 Spotting Scope Mil-dot Reticle?

    Re: Leupold Mark 4 Spotting Scope Mil-dot Reticle? I've read a lot of bad reviews about Webyshops. So, tell me about the mil-dot reticle markings.

    Leupold Mark 4 Spotting Scope Mil-dot Reticle?

    I have an older Gold Ring that has a mil-dot reticle with round dots and hash marks every half mil. The Leupold web site shows the Mark 4 spotter with a mil-dot reticle with no half mil hash marks, but the image is just a drawing. I have not found another image online. Do the newer Mark 4...
