I'm interested to see what Ilya thinks, but my theory remains the presence of a field stop in the US model. I'd love to hear another theory from anyone else, though. Historically field stops are used to hide lower quality images found on the edges (this is in no way an accusation that this is...
The only thing that makes sense to me is that the American version of this scope uses what some manufacturers refer to as a "field stop" in the objective bell. A field stop is a flat metal donut used to eliminate the outer edges of an image because there is a fall-off in image quality (chromatic...
I saw your other thread and meant to comment at the time. I know of two reasons (there are probably more) why you cannot measure or approximate the focal length of a rifle scope by measuring the distance from the objective lens group to the location of the first focal plane. The first is you...
I used 4DOF on my phone and updated my environmentals every couple stages and I did ok at the match. I think 4DOF is more accurate and so much easier to use. I previously used AB for several years.
Texas, This is an excellent question and a good example to use. First, the ATACR is always a good choice. NF has high standards when it comes to all aspects of performance and they’re unforgiving of anything that doesn’t measure up. The important thing to remember is the only aspect of a scope...
@THEIS - Thanks for the tag, or whatever it's called. It's nice to know when something I've said has drawn the Hide's interest. The cliff notes version of the article is the optics-buying community obsesses way too much over size of the objective lens and fails to account for the effect of the...
You certainly have more personal experience with the MRAD than I do, I was just passing along my my thoughts based on what I saw and experienced in my limited contact with it. I think the MRAD is a good rifle and I love how easy it is to pull the trigger for maintenance. It is very accurate and...
My experience is limited to a data sample of one, but I tested some of True Velocity's ammunition out of their MRAD chambered in .338 norma. Jimmy Sloan, the designer of the .338 Norma and the .300 Norma, was there with me and it was a rifle he used quite a bit. I don't know the round count on...
The AI magazine system is superior. Each AI magazine is designed around its family of cartridges and feeds reliably from the double-stack. AI uses metal magazines that don't scratch and scuff internally, which fares better in the long term. Also, AI doesn't require the use of a barrel extension...
