    I Spy New Baby Theos 2-10x

    Is the diffractive reticle illumination bright enough on a sunny day - fully daylight bright? I like the screw on zero set turret, my Meopta having similar, nice feature. 34mm tube and huge elevation travel - a why I don't get as well?? 29oz - C'mon man the Vortex Razor LHT 4.5-22 is only...

    Actual range tests of Rimfire vs Airgun video

    Oh and forgot to mention this as a frustrating thing with airguns. Thayne Simmons was there at the UFT match - score 26, as well as Justin Welch - score 31, two of the winning-est airgun shooters in the US, both shooting slugs, neither scoring all that well, and I highly doubt their skills were...

    Gorilla vs Lion vs Bear: Who Wins?

    I would lean towards which one has a meaner fight aggression as the only possible way a chimp is going to win one on one - this personality wise, because IMHO there's no way a 150 pound chimp is going to overcome a 450 pound male gorilla otherwise. In other words no fight in the big guy...

    New toy for boredom and serves a purpose

    You can use a pcp airgun without ammo but eventually the wifey will find bugs parts blasted here and there. It's more of a disappearing act as far as the bug goes.

    New toy for boredom and serves a purpose

    Now if only window and door screens were made of metal like when I was a kid. Found that duration and angle matters with plastic screens, lol. The wifey was not amused, lol. Her solution was covering it with a two sided flower magnet. Being married to me she's learned to improvise.

    Gorilla vs Lion vs Bear: Who Wins?

    Didn't I read somewhere that Gorillas have a super high bite force and they've got decent sized fangs. Now if the Gorilla could combine those with Jujitsu black belt skills, then maybe. Can you imagine a Gorilla trained to crudley use a sword. The sheer force, eek?! When I was a kid we went to...

    Actual range tests of Rimfire vs Airgun video

    Thanks for posting this video and that sums up the basics between the RF and PCP. I'm still struggling with tunes and reliability with two of my PCP's set up for slugs and it's not easy figuring out the "why's". My V3 PCP, is shooting really well however does weird stuff at times. Example -...

    The new Athlon Ares BTR G3 2.5-15x50, initials, and ongoing thoughts.

    If were to guess the way you have it set now the reticle looks in focus but you've got the diopter dialed at the extreme "out" end of reticle focus. There is a range where the reticle looks in focus but isn't perfect. Could be a fluke but try this. Set the diopter this way instead. Pick a...

    I'm afraid to ask because I don't know where it goes from here but do the mags go into a industrial grade vibratory tumbler after this stage?

    Rifle Scopes Athlon OpticsAres BTR GEN3 HD 2.5-15x50 vs VIPER® PST™ GEN II 3-15X44 FFP

    I had a G1 and the G3 blows it away and in almost everything. I have $4000 scopes and the turrets in my G3 are at least as good as they are and as far as distinctness even better. The IQ is great for the price but not up to those expensive scopes. The .06 Mil reticle thickness can actually bee...

    Any mountain bikers out there 2.0

    Some recent happenings. My old bud from high school came up for some fun so I took him long range shooting which he'd never done before. I had him hitting the 150Y and 300Y steel with my 22rf and from 300Y to 785Y with my 6mmBR Precision rifle. It was windy so the challenge was there. He...

    Athlon Helos BTR Gen2 2-12?

    I have a friend who had always wanted a Hensoldt 6-24x72 so he bought one of the remaining new ones at a dealer four years ago. This guy is a peculiar fellow to me because he buys nice things and never uses them and I bring that up because that scope is still brand new never mounted??!! For the...

    Athlon Helos BTR Gen2 2-12?

    Sorry for the delay. It's a cloudy evening, the sun is behind the mountain, and it's barely past the red sunset colors, so I'm checking the scopes right now. With the illume on both are usable at 4x but of course it's easier to see the DMR reticle. I could make any reasonable long range shot...

    I'll go peer through both of mine and post my thoughts.

    Athlon Helos BTR Gen2 2-12?

    I'm surprised I over looked this thread?? This Helos G2 2-12 is a unique FFP scope for sure. I've had one since they came out and then later owned two but sold that one to a friend for a rifle he'd just bought. Nothing has gone wrong with either. I've used mine on my HFT pcp Pistol and it's...

    Why are AR15s so difficult to shoot for the average shooter?

    Remember when Ted Nugent was into 44 mag then had a literal semi truck load of that factory ammo drop shipped! Plenty of people can afford to do similar and don't need sub moa groups as their standard for precision so no condemnation there. But the only ammo I don't reload for is rimfire and...

    Low light hunting scope FFP?

    I suppose I could describe it as normal as far as the ring on 1x or I got used to how it looks. In other words I don't know how one would not see a ring using a rifle scope. Because the eyebox is generous on 1x, and I have the cheek piece on my guns set for my face, I'm lined up and RTG as soon...

    Low light hunting scope FFP?

    I owned a DFP 1-10 for years and honestly didn't realize how versatile it was because the AR it was on didn't get used much. Then I mounted it on a semi auto pcp airgun shooting thousands of pellets within a few weeks in many different ways and my eyes were opened just by using it a lot. Then...

    What defines an MPVO?

    Not disagreeing because the Burris XTR2 1-8 I had wasn't great at 8x but I felt like 6x wasn't enough for my use case. The two LPVO 1-10's I've owned aren't very good at 10x but better at 8x. It's kinda like the guy earlier in this thread that mentioned the March 3-24 is best if you use it...
