    Trust me, it's anything but simple.

    Rifle Scopes Scope Leveling: F***!

    I set a machinist level on the flat top section of the main tube at the illumination assembly and compare it to a second one on the bolt raceways. On an action with a machined integral rail you can use the rail but this is not recommended on a Remington action unless the holes have been...

    Rifle Scopes Scope Leveling: F***!

    I guess some are happy with sub par precision.

    Rifle Scopes Scope Leveling: F***!

    Actually, plumbing or leveling your scope off the reticle is the incorrect method of doing this to maintain adjustment precision. If you adjust off your reticle and it is canted as little as 1 degree your elevation turret will not be at the 12:00 position. At that point when an elevation...

    Rifle Scopes Schmidt bender or kahles

    I'm not really sure as to which scopes you are referring that have plastic in the parallax assembly. All Scopes have a combination of brass and stainless steel components which are enclosed in a hard anodized aluminum housing. Your information is both horribly inaccurate and misinforming. The...

    Rifle Scopes PSA: Deciphering the Schmidt Bender codes

    [In addition, in 2017, there are shorter turrets and high turrets, and one needs to be careful, as there is not a specific designation for those turrets. I have presented, below, a description, out of the 2017 catalog that might be helpful. Keep in mind that the shorter turrets are exclusive...

    We can perform that mod at our US based service center. If it's done anywhere else besides here or Germany good luck with the end result and the warranty will be void. Cost of modification is $100.00.

    Rifle Scopes S&B model question.. What am i missing??

    The above scope with article no. 677-911-982-A8-A2 has the P4F MOA reticle and the reason for the cost difference I would assume.

    Rifle Scopes Differences between scopes with the same objective size but different zoom ranges?

    There are other factors involved but to calculate a general diameter divide your objective size in millimeters by the magnification. This can be seen as that dot of light projected on your ocular lens and why it varies in size when you dial from low to high power and vise versa. Remember, light...

    Rifle Scopes S&B MTC Turret Question

    Just a reminder that the warranty will be void if the modification is done by anyone but a qualified technician. You pay shipping both ways and we will disable the MTC at our service center in VA. Turn around is quoted 4-6 weeks on repairs but this can usually be done within a week. Just shoot...

    Rifle Scopes S&B MTC Turret Question

    If you decide to send it in just simply include a letter describing your work request and most importantly all contact info. Yes, believe it or not we have received scopes with no contact info, no letter or return address more often than I care to remember.

    Rifle Scopes Differences between scopes with the same objective size but different zoom ranges?

    The most noticeable difference between higher and lower magnification optics with the same objective lens size is the exit pupil. For example, on 25x the exit pupil would be approximately 2mm while the 15x power optic with the same 50mm objective would have an exit pupil of 3.3mm which would of...

    Rifle Scopes Schmidt problem or Badger Ring problem

    Believe me, I see this more often than not. The difference here is that the shooter had enough integrity to admit that the problem was another variable aside from the scope after it was discovered. He could have sent it in for service and we would have found nothing wrong with it. Got it back...

    Rifle Scopes Schmidt and Bender Reticle Swap?

    If you and 49 of your friends wanted the same reticle $500 might be possible. One off reticles of high quality are not inexpensive. However, cheap reticles are.

    Rifle Scopes Schmidt and Bender Reticle Swap?

    A one off reticle is very expensive. When we made custom reticles at Premier a minimum order of 25-30 was required by the German manufacturer to be even slightly cost effective. And that was taking place a couple times a year which brought the cost down even more and it was still expensive...

    Rifle Scopes Schmidt and Bender Reticle Swap?

    I understood his original post quite clearly but thanks for the highlights regardless. And because custom reticles are not offered I suggested the MSR as it offers the .5 mil tick mark that he is looking for.
