Hi,
I have a few questions for the guys that have actually put their mits onto this scope..preferably have shot with this scope!
1. During the elevation travel range did you have to adjust your cheek PIECE to maintain proper position and alignment? Because from the videos the eyepiece moves up and down a LOT.
2. During the windage travel range did you have to adjust your cheek POSITION to maintain proper position and alignment? Because once again with the mechanical adjustments moving the eyepiece.
3. How in the hell does anyone shoot that rifle in last video? It would need like an 8-10 inch adjustable cheek piece to see through that eyepeice. The distance appears to be more than twice the size of the guys forearm.
4. Can anyone at March get a video of a rifle zeroed at 100m with proper cheek piece position while moving the elevation and windage through its' entire range spectrum to show exactly how much cheek piece adjustment is needed for elevation and what kind of cheek piece position change is needed to account for the windage?
Sincerely,
Theis
1. Have to shoot it to answer that . Having shot ( a lot ) in the field in unusual positions , I’m
thinking it’s not a lot different to a difficult positional shooting in the field . We all have to
compromise our cheekpeice height , length of pull etc etc to suit prone , barricade , sitting ,
bench , and tripod positions : my rifle set up is a compromise that works in all positions . This
is not that much different . For ELR , it’s going to be at least the 1500 elevation dialled to
maybe 3000 dialled , all prone most likely . You are not going to be running from 100 to
6000 yard that often I’d say , so the angle change isn’t that great really .
2. How much windage do you dial ? I can’t ever remember dialing more than 5 or 6 Mils
very often ( 20 MOA ) . If I’m running that much wind , I’m not likely having a successful
day at ELR ranges , regardless of what system I’m shooting ... Don’t think it’s an issue at all .
Most of the time , I’m dialling the low end of my wind bracket and holding the changes on
the reticle .
3. The rifle in the video looks like a heavy BR gun , prolly for demonstration only . BR guns
have no actual cheekpice as such , BR shooters don’t have their heads on the gun at all .
Just like rings , they have said this optic will have different height options to suit different
systems . It’s not a production model , details are going to change .
4. Patience , very early days . No doubt we will see a lot of this new optic on some serious
hardware in months and years to come .
