I always thought this was amusing as well, glad I'm not the only one! I really think humans just crave tribalism so we create it wherever we can and pretend like there's some intrinsic value in it. I've yet to have someone that swears by MIL's power of ten explain how they've actually used it in any sort of practical way. "Oh it's not a metric system thing" but it only really helps with other base-10 systems which are metric. Nobody is measuring 1/1000th of a yard.
1 mrad is one yard at 1000 yards. I use that all the time.
Me too, 18" at 500 yards as well, great for quick ranging math, here's a good chart as it relates to brisket to back...
Yes I know that, but I've never known anyone to estimate target size in yards, thus eliminating the benefit
How about 36" or divisions of 36", like 18" or 6', can you think of anything that might translate?
I'm not saying the math is impossible just that it isn't as intuitive as the MIL loyalists would have you believe, especially when dealing with targets of an unknown size at unknown distances. When you're using a range finder and ballistic calculator the units become irrelevant
Probably because 10x erector scopes are riddled with compromiseAm I the only one who doesn’t understand why anyone would care about a 2-10 MPVO?
To me it’s like: if you’re only going to go up to 10x, just make us a more better/nicer 1-10 LPVO then… because if I’m going to have to run a dot too anyways, I might as well pony up for the 4-20x and live with an extra few ounces for my near $4K.
And those reticles…
C’mon ZCO… SMH
I didn't say MIL doesn't have any benefits or applications, did I? Don't take it personal.
Thus proving @HaydenLane ’s point
I would guess that a 2-10 makes it an easier sell to guys running clip-ons and such, but that’s not me. I personally have a 3-12 with a piggyback on my only scoped gas gun.
Aren't alot (if not all) of those recen 2-10 .mil contract scopes? Did any one ever have any light on what the design brief was of the contract?
It is not the optics fault, nor is it the mechanical/functional speed I am speaking of. Specifically with the DFP scopes from March, given the DFP design, the high erector ratio and short scope body, there is a pickiness in the initial set up that I don't find in other optics. The DOF/Side Focus/Parallax is very sensitive to magnification changes and it always requires quite a bit of dialing in/out to get the sight picture I am looking for.
So......Apex *and* ZeroTech both release a 1-4x22 variable prism optic with the zoom mounted on the front? What are the odds? Did these guys share the R&D cost....and one is going the cheaper made-in-China route and the other made in USA / Japan?
The zerotech has a motorized zoom so could be quite different. China is often copying other designs.
Maybe that was ATI’s strategy after seeing the interest from the community with the unobtanium (mil only) AMG 1-10 shorty, they bring out their version. EO has been getting a few AMG’s they bundle with rifles so at least we have a few in the wild.
We've got one more generation of optics to come and that will be the Golden era. It's down hill after that. Think early 2000s Honda Gearbox vs what has come since, the removal of the synchronicity between man and machine.
I tend to agree, one more generation, but I bet after that generation comes, there will still be innovations beyond that which keeps us saying... "the next generation"
)?Cars, ITR and S2KI tend to agree, one more generation, but I bet after that generation comes, there will still be innovations beyond that which keeps us saying... "the next generation"
When you're talking Honda gearbox are you talking cars or motorcycles (or lawnmowers
