mirage

Was at the range yesterday and had two higher end optics side by side looking at the same target area, same power setting. Scope #1 had a clear sharp image that was very bright and showed a slight amount of mirage. Scope #2 had a clear sharp image that was darker than #1, was a little harder...

So I'm trying to understand some mirage behavior that's bitten me in the ass in a few matches now. I'm running a LP Fuzion / Centurion in 6mm BRA with 107 SMKs going 2,880 fps. All my DOPE out to 750 yards has been validated. At the last couple matches I struggled on the KYL at 400 yards...

I paid a visit to TAB GEAR Last week, and shot a bunch of video. The first video is just an introduction to some of the changes taking place to the SAS 2 & SAS 3 suppressor covers. Tony will be updating these two covers, as well you'll be something another model hitting the street. Can't say...

I was looking for various DIY mirage shield materials for an upcoming FTR match and nearly decided to buy one... However, I found that Vinyl Drywall Bull-nose molding has a great profile for a mirage shield. Can readily be found at Lowes and HomeDepot for $2-$4 per 10' length. I found it on...

I shoot a 338 Lapua - TRG 42. The rifle is a dream - shooting half MOA and better on 1000m. I need help on the following two issues: 1.) 1-10 Twist 250gr Lapua Scenar 880m/s 834hpa (absolute) Zeroed at 200m MRAD clicks (S&B 5-25x56 - first focal plane) Shooting north south in order...

I was at the range Saturday trying to get scope settings for a new load. The mirage was some of the worst I've seen, and at 400 yards, two shots (I wasn't going for group) could have a vertical dispersion of several inches. This is from a rifle that is consistently sub-MOA at 400+ yards. The...

Guys, Ok i feel like an idiot for asking this but here goes. I had a buddy ask me this. For the life of me i can't remember. How does one go about adjusting for mirage? Adjust the magnification? Adjust the paralax? Thanks for the help. SOTA p.s.: hope i don't get nailed to hard on this one.

Finally got my 30 cal can, what are the advantages and disadvantages of the 2 different suppressor covers?

?

Has anyone seen this pattern or have any experience with it in the field? Looks similar to a digitized camo used by the Italians. It is called "Mirage" camo and is produced by Bulldog Equipment.

the more i surf here, the more i learn. in a recent post i was asking questions and the answer i got back mentioned mirage and made reference to scope quality. i do not fully understand mirage, but know that different things make it worse, mostly sunshine, and ground temp plays a role too. but...

Maybe I am thinking to in depth about this, but last night while I was rolling around in my bed, trying to not think about how to improve my shooting and actually go to sleep, I was pondering this question. If I focus on lets say a 600m target and then dial back to read the mirage, where is it...

Hi guys. Today we were shooting steel targets at 900yds and the mirage just terrible. The conditions must have been perfect to make the mirage especially shitty. We still did fine, but it brings up the question... How do you all deal with heavy mirage regarding scope magnification? I've...
