    SOLD — Kowa TSN-883 88mm Spotting Scope + TE-11WZ 25-60x Eyepiece & Extras

    Hi guys, I've been a long-time member of Snipershide since the old server to new server, then back to this current page. However, with 4 kids I've stopped all activities in this hobby for several years now. So, I have quite a few equipment to sell since they have not been used for a long...

    Rifle Scopes Good deals to be had on new NF scopes?

    So the Nightforce Beast would cost $3,783 everywhere, no negotiation? Who the hell in their right mind would buy a NF when a Schmidt & Bender can be had for $3,700? I'm not a deal expert but this kind of comparison reminds me of how Huyndai marks their sedan up because they think their car is...

    Mil / MOA calculation. Yes, again....

    I kind of getting a hang of it now. Thanks a lot to all of you for taking the time explaining MilRad to me in full detail! I think you've cleared my confusion and I understand the concept behind it now. The reason I'm thinking of switching to Mils is because I'm really digging the "MSR"...

    Mil / MOA calculation. Yes, again....

    Thank you, John & ShootinAlpha. The reason I ask is to know how much to compensate the bullet drop based on ballistic calculations before making the first shot. I forgot that 0.1 = 10% (not 1%). So at 100 yards out, 1 mil = 10cm. So then at about the same distance to target...

    Mil / MOA calculation. Yes, again....

    I've been using MOA scope and gotten used to the 1" @ every 100 yards assumption. Recently I'm a little intrested in the MilRad system. So can someone confirm whether the following calculation/assumption is correct? 1.) Doesn't matter what unit system (inch, yards, meter, banana-length...

    $2000-$2500 Spotting Scope

    What magnification level is that, Truth? I have a Vortex HD II 1-6x that I like a lot. But I thought for an extended distance a "finer" resolution would help a lot, especially when I plan to attach my DSLR onto it (spotting scope) for some wildlife shots. Thanks everyone who comment on my...

    $2000-$2500 Spotting Scope

    But I thought Kowa USA offers Lifetime Warranty. Isn't that true, Javelin? I've always thought we gotta send the Swarovski to Europe in case things happen. The distance and back & forth shipping would have been much more hassle than to deal with Kowa USA don't you think?

    $2000-$2500 Spotting Scope

    Seems like the consensus is against the Swarovski in terms of quality per $2000 - $2,500 budget? So what about MeoStar S2 vs Kowa 884? Does the Kowa 884 have more potential for telephoto with a Canon 5D Mark III?

    $2000-$2500 Spotting Scope

    Thanks for the replies so far. Also, anybody knows how does the Kowa 884 Prominar hold up against the listed ones? Is Kowa a Japanese made product? Anybody heard of EagleOptics.com? Are they legit? Counterfeit?

    $2000-$2500 Spotting Scope

    I know there must be a few hundred posts on this topic already, but I just want to confirm if Zeiss is the best option out of the bunch below: 1.) $2,500 Demo: Victory DiaScope 85 T* FL 20-75x 2.) $2,050 New: MeOpta S2 82mm HD 30-60x (or may be 20-70x) 3.) $2,400 Used: Swarovski...

    New Atlas Bipod on the Way, the Updated PSR Model

    Everybody's saying "I got mine. Love it" without any picture? Gosh, this is killing me.....I guess it'll take a lot longer to receive my coated PSR.

    Rifle Scopes Is this New Aimpoint T-1 Micro Defective?

    Thanks everyone for your comments & suggestions. I have contacted SWFA and they said that the "no mount" version is part of a "bulk order" and thus they do not have a box for it. The overall inspection of the outside look along with the clarity of the glass does not show any sign of being a...

    Rifle Scopes Is this New Aimpoint T-1 Micro Defective?

    Hello, I just received the Aimpoint T-1 Micro (2 MOA) from SWFA today. I ordered the "No mount" version and it comes in a plastic Ziploc bag instead of a manufacture box, which I'm not happy and would have suspected that I've gotten a knock-off if it wasn't coming from SWFA. When I check...
