You can do a bit of common sense preservation of the springs in the scope by storing it in the cabinet at mid travel if you have a high incline rail. Then just dial it down to your zero when you bring it out to play.

Sounds like a loose rail.

Nice to see one that can be tested. My ATACR needed about 70 MOA on a 30 MOA BAT rail and 40 MOA in a third eye tactical one piece mount for a 100 yard zero which is just 5 MOA off the bottom. This gives me maximum internal movement for ELR. One thing I would be interested to know from your...

Some interesting points you make their Frank. I would be pretty interested to learn how to test scopes for chromatic issues - never have understood that side of things. Pics of this shown through the lens would be great if you have a link. One of the things which would be good to hear from...

Best advice ^^^^.

When you consider the price of some of the scopes we buy which could be easily supplied with Tenabreax covers or others of similar quality - it just makes you wonder what sort of customer relations/sales policies are in place with some manufacturers ? Top marks to S&B for supplying these with...

If I were only wanting to use Mil/Mil due to familiarity and consistency - and wanted a scope for ELR - getting the ATACR in Mil/Mil and SFP would not unduly concern me. Most shooting could be done at either 25x or 12.5x with the maths being very simple on the reticle at these two powers...

Whilst you would need something like "Doppler Radar" to view the bullet in flight to be certain of the "stability" aspect when it leaves the barrel - personally I cannot see how a bullet would be unstable initially and then stable later down the line. If it were unstable initially then the...

If the Mods move this into the rifle scope forum the OP will get more replies.

When I bought my ATACR I took along my Zeiss Diavari 6-24 x 72 and compared them both. The ATACR was ahead on clarity and depth of view/detail at 25x. The current lens coating on these scopes is recognised as being better than anything they have done in the past - not just by me but others who...

The ranging power in SFP S&B's is at the top magnification - so 25x gives 1 Mil and 12.5x gives 2 Mil.

The way a scope is built gives a good indication of what type of problems can occur - not just NF - but any scope. Parallax or focus rings can stop working and reticles can fail to move - but having a scope develop a temporary colour tint at a given power is something I don't think will be...

Short .50 BMG's are good for showing why longer .50 BMG's are the better way to go ;)

The ATACR is a better scope.

The ATACR with the extra elevation it offers puts it in a different ELR category for me when comparing it to a S&B PMII. Glass quality and reliability are excellent in both. Distance is the only really noticeable comparable. FFP v SFP at ELR is relevant on wanting magnification variable...

Thanks for the heads up on this. I see from your profile that you are NF's Business Development Manager - so I will trust you ;) ! As a bit of feed back the spec's on the ATACR could do with being mentioned on the web site and in the box which comes with it. The reticle sheet with mine makes...

The ATACR was my preferred choice ...

I have just bought an NF ATACR ( I'm the guy 7GRT refers to in his post ) and my thoughts on the thickness of the reticle at 0.14 for F Class are "it depends on whether you will want to shoot using aim off" or whether you will "dial in" your adjustments - and whether you will shoot using a...

When March first came out with their 10-60 x 52 I bought two from Kelbly's and had them shipped over here to the UK. They were bought "on faith" as I clearly had not had the chance to check them before doing so. They had good "write ups" at the time. Of the two I got one worked reliably and...

If the scopes work ... you need to change your rails or add tapered rings to the set up. I would price a gunsmith increasing the taper on the rail. Over here we usually get the gunsmith to bespoke the rail for a rifle / scope combo so that most of the movement in the scope can be used. You need...
