    Rifle Scopes Seven Scopes with Issues or Something Else

    Putting bias in the base and mount pulls the erector tube away from the erector spring when zeroing the scope. These are important details.

    spooledup, How much bias to you have in your scope base and your mount? Could you tell me what each has individually?

    Rifle Scopes New Schmidt & Bender PM2 6-36x56

    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...

    Rifle Scopes New Schmidt & Bender PM2 6-36x56

    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...

    Rifle Scopes March 4.5-28x52 High Master Review and Comparison to Tangent Theta 5-25x56

    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...

    What Short Action Elk Caliber for Youth Rifle

    I’d be tempted to build her a 6.8 Western. I had great luck with the 165 accubond on elk and so did everyone using it in camp.

    Thank you and you're welcome. Yeah, the bullet library is the one thing that could use some improvement.

    2021 Nightforce ELR Steel Challenge

    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.

    Here's an almost too long video I made about this year's competition. If the link doesn't work, I'll try to fix it.

    "Bigger Objective Lenses Don't Gather More Light and Heres a Test that proves it." article...

    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...
