    Rifle Scopes Got my new Schmidt Bender today, could use some advise.

    Theres that chance but I have zero issues with either of my Premiers with the same reticle in them. Thats the reason I got the Schmidt in the Gen2 XR... so it essentially matched my premiers.

    Gunsmithing Gunsmiths - What brand caliper do you use?
