Was not aware I needed a reason, or reasons, to leave. Not doing much of anything at my age, a lot more theory than application. But it seems clear to me by responses to some of my posts that my views are not in line with those here. When I post something and a reply to that post is along the...

As my photo 101 prof use to say amateurs talk about cameras, pros talk about lenses, and photographers talk about light.

You guys are killing me. Called Cameralandny. Got an Ares with a Christmastree in MRAD and the Talos with a Christmastree in MRAD. So now I will have to take the Athlon off my TAC A1, put the Ares on it, take the Nikon 223 off y CTR and put the Athlon on it, put the Nikon on my Keltec RFB...

I am guilty of reading the entire thread, not just a post. This is a quotation from the first page by birddog6424: 'happen to have a nice real world analogy from this past weekend. The Dog Valley match this weekend presented us with a 700 target shaded by a tree, early morning sunlight behind...

Some random thoughts about DOF and pop. As a rule the DOF gets smaller as magnification gets higher. As you change the parallax you change where the focal point in the depth of field is. Things in focus will be sharp and pop while things out of focus will be blurry and fade into the back...

I would tend to use a camera resolution chart. Easy to find a file online you can download for free and print out. The first thing I look at is how well the "cross" made up of multiple lines in the upper left hand corner shows up. The 'cross' is composed of black lines that start out thick...

Guys I said the only thing worse than a SFP was a Barska. Maybe I am just a little to shy about bashing.

A big DOF can help in picking up targets but a shallow DOF means if the target is in the DOF it will pop better. Most photographers want what is called a fast lens because it has a shallow DOF which allows them to get the subject/target in focus to make it pop. Of course this takes time which...

Currently I am using a 4X Trueglow pirated from one of my airsoft toys on my CZ 455 Varmint Evolution. My main act is using a Tikka TAC A1 in CM, but I seldom get a chance to shoot over 300 yards. So the .22 or .17HMR is what I intend to train with. Right now I am looking at this Bushnell in...

Good points. First thing I would note is that we all know the term color blind but don't always have a good handle on what it means. Not to mention that there is really no standard for how we view not only color but other factors as well. In another life I was a serious photographer and...

I am still trying to get up to speed on optics and have seen a few what I call low end scopes that seem to have reticles for specific rounds with specific loads. It kinda worries me that none of the high end scopes I know have this feature. On the other hand I get how it might be helpful to...

That is a good question I don' really know the answer to. The offhand targets are the NRA standard silhouettes in matches. Shooting my TAC A1 I will go up to 34X with the Athlon for paper but that is off a tripod. If the truth be known I don't really have much recent offhand experience with...

The whole point of using a rimfire .22 to train with is to put as many rounds down range as possible so one is not all you need. But my OP was about scopes and which ones had the largest eye box. Not sure how a second rate over priced buttstock would help.

How many .22 shells will it hold.

Let me rephrase my question. I have seen multiple posts on the internet that a Kahles has a much bigger eye box than lower tier optics. I know the definition of exit pupil and how to calculate it but have never seen a formula to calculate the eye box. So the question is does anyone know if...

Just got a CZ 455 Varmint Evolution in .22 and am expecting my CZ-USA .17 HMR barrel next week (I hope). The local .22 match is silhouettes. The Chickens are at 40 yards, Pigs at 50 yards, Turkeys at 75 yards and Rams at 100 yards. I have an Athlon Argos 8X34 on my Tikka TAC A1 in CM and a...

Good news. Last night I got an email from UPS that my TAC A1 would be delivered/picked up one day early. Went to UPS and picked it up earlier today. Stock is fixed. It is rock solid. Now I can mount optics and start having fun. Given how well my CTR performed with a low end Nikon 233 I...

Most of the first tier scopes I see are $US2,500 at the low end and more like $US3,000. Stuff like SB, Tangent, Kahles, NF, and the like. You say you can get quality glass cheaper, like under $US2,000; but don't mention any. This was sorta the point of the OP; what is good quality glass that...
