    Rifle Scopes Point of Aim shift when changing power on Scope

    Re: Point of Aim shift when changing power on Scope Actually that is the tightest outspoken tolerance for POI change in a SFP scope that I have seen, so don't worry about "bashing" the company. It probably means that the manufacturer guarantees a POI shift of no more than 0.25" MOA...

    Rifle Scopes Question about PH moa scope turrets

    Re: Question about PH moa scope turrets beenjammin, the MTC-"clunk" is every 2 MOA (which equals 8 clicks). Usable holdover is determined by the FOV of the scope if the reticle has more holdover than the FOV allows to use at max. power. Not much you can do about this as a manufacturer...

    Rifle Scopes Premier Light Tactical Pic Heavy

    Re: Premier Light Tactical Pic Heavy The illumination does not push in like on the Heritage, you just turn/click through the settings. Every other click is an "off" position so you can pre-dial and switch off between two settings.

    Rifle Scopes Premier Light Tactical Pic Heavy

    Re: Premier Light Tactical Pic Heavy TomD, there was a thread about MAP policies some time ago, I've tried to explain it from the manufacturer's point of view, and you will find all kinds of opinions and thoughts there. Maybe you want to continue the discussion in that thread. MAP is...

    Rifle Scopes American Rifle M3 Rings - experience thus far

    Re: American Rifle M3 Rings - experience thus far Rob, since you are into engineering anyway, why not try to kind of reverse engineer this problem? Your description sounds like the scope rotates in one direction when tightening the top "clamp", and this rotation should be more or less...

    Rifle Scopes Anyone go FFP and decide it wasn't for them?

    Re: Anyone go FFP and decide it wasn't for them? One other thing apart from the practical application of the reticle is POI change in SFP scopes. Variable magnification SFP scopes <span style="font-weight: bold">will</span> change POI depending on magnification until someone figures out how...

    Rifle Scopes Anyone go FFP and decide it wasn't for them?

    Re: Anyone go FFP and decide it wasn't for them? FFP is <span style="font-weight: bold">not</span> mainly about ranging. Being able to range at any magnification setting is a minor advantage of FFP. Its not about square ranges in sunshine and having all the time in the world to check...

    Rifle Scopes Canted reticle effect?

    Re: Canted reticle effect? Assuming you are using holdover (if the turrets are square and you dial, a canted reticle doesn't matter), the windage deviation is simply the sine of the cant angle times the amount of holdover. A reticle that is canted counterclockwise will produce hits to the...

    Rifle Scopes S&B Problem?

    Re: S&B Problem? My guess is that you have this scope sitting on a strongly canted base, correct? What you are seeing is a consequence of the erector being close to the edge of the travel range (down in this case, opposite if up). The erector is "looking" at the edge of the image created by...

    Rifle Scopes I messed up

    Re: I messed up Cracking a lens by spraying it with liquid gass is perfectly possible, and I'd guess that the effect could be reproduced pretty reliably with most optics. The reaction by many people here is another example in the long line of misjudgements as to the cause and effect of...

    Rifle Scopes Best way to clean a scope lens?

    Re: Best way to clean a scope lens? My personal approach is this: For fingerprints or generally when I'm reasonably sure that there is no grit on the lens that is hard enough to scratch the coatings, I use a simple microfiber cloth. More persistent oily/greasy stuff gets an acetone/q-tip...

    Re: What makes an FFP more costly than SFP? Yeah right, the worldwide scopemaker cartel has struck again, fixed the prices and is ripping everybody off. And of course some people who don't know jack shit about what goes into making a scope know this for a fact. Seriously though, here are...

    Rifle Scopes Premier zero stop?

    Re: Premier zero stop? SBS, the knob stops a couple clicks below zero, so when you have sighted in your reifle and set the scale on the knob to zero, the zero stop is also "set" automatically. Mechanically, there is a steel pin in the bottom uf the elevation cap that hits a corresponding pin...
