    Rifle Scopes AR scope that I Think is missing

    Re: AR scope that I Think is missing Håkan, I've never seen one of those 6x Zielmutars and I won't pretend to understand more than the basics of optics, but I'm pretty sure that there are some compromises involved with that scope that the market would not accept today. Let me just say that...

    Rifle Scopes AR scope that I Think is missing

    Re: AR scope that I Think is missing Unless somebody manages to cheat the laws of physics in a major way, you will not see a 1-x power scope with more than a ~30mm objective, and that's stretching it. Lots of people would like to have one, and lots of manufacturers would like to sell one...

    Rifle Scopes Price for new Zeiss/Heny 3.5-26x56mm scope

    Re: Price for new Zeiss/Heny 3.5-26x56mm scope Be sure to check the export regulations before attempting anything like this, or you may be up to a rather rude awakening when you file your VAT return claim. Not sure about spotters, but tactical scopes can't just be sent across the pond without...

    Rifle Scopes Metric mil reticle subtension...coincidence?

    Re: Metric mil reticle subtension...coincidence? The "coincidence" comes from the metric system also being a <span style="font-weight: bold">decimal</span> system. A <span style="font-weight: bold">milli</span>radian by definition is an arc that subtens 1/1000th of the radius. The...

    Rifle Scopes Are S&B scopes really that much better?

    Re: Are S&B scopes really that much better? Numbered parallax knobs are like BDC turrets, even if done perfectly for one set of conditions, they only work correctly under that one set of conditions. It's not the manufacturers fault that conditions vary. As pressure, temperature and humidity...

    Rifle Scopes Schmidt and Bender .25 mil adjustments

    Re: Schmidt and Bender .25 mil adjustments Those adjustments are 0.25cm/100m, and 0.1 mil equals 1cm/100m, so the adjustment is indeed 0.025 mil, which is pretty much the finest adjustment you will find anywhere, even finer than 1/8 moa. You are "fine" in every sense of the word if your...

    Rifle Scopes Please describe S&B tunneling.

    Re: Please describe S&B tunneling. Rob, try positioning the camera so you get the full FOV into the picture at high power before you turn down the magnification. What's happening in your videos confirms my speculation above that eye relief (or eye relief band width) changes when turning down...

    Photos A few more

    Re: A few more That is a USMC marked scope, see the markings in this video. The rifle (M110) also has the QR code, so this is most likely government property. Still doesn't tell us whether this is the same rifle, maybe, maybe not. There are more than <span style="font-weight...
