    Is the March FX 4.5-28x52 my new ZCO?

    I know people at March pretty well. There is no way they forgot a scope cap. Still, they will do the right thing for the customer. Ilya

    New Burris XTR PS

    I think it more or less the same optical system as XTR3i, except with a HUD. ILya

    I Spy New Baby Razor G3 4-24

    It is not in the mail (that I know of). I do not have a specific date on when it will be here, but it should not be too long. Either way, regardless of when I receive it, I will not be able to share any of my impressions until they officially announce it. That's sort of a rule, sometimes...

    In this case, never means exactly that: never. Not in my lifetime. Not in yours. Not in my kids'. These are not the design constraints that will ever change for conventional optomechanical scopes. A run of the mil consumer will never be able to have a clean enough environment to do that...

    Marking the scope would work, although there is a tolerance there too that needs to be observed and measured. ILya

    They made reticles in small batches and kept a few around here and there. Also, USO's older designs were very forgiving in terms of the reticle feature tolerance. Modern scopes are not. ILya

    Electronic ones. I already have that in the Element HYPR-7. Eventually, that (or similar) technology will propagate through the scope world. With conventional glass etched reticles, there will never be a high quality riflescope that offers a user swappable reticle. ILya

    Reticle cells are made in batches. If you only need to make one, it will cost well into four digits due to setup, etc. There are a few places in China that will do it for less, but they are limited in terms of feature size and they are not very consistent in terms of line thicknesses, edge...

    Ditto in New Mexico. At this altitude, anything metal with black surface becomes frying pan hot really fast. ILya

    From what I understand, it is not the same design, but I will know with more certainty when it gets here. ILya

    I think there is value in consistency of the markings, so my preference is for 0.2mrad based tree reticles that are not excessively busy. The two centerfire rifles I use the most both have Gen3 XR. My rimfire bolt gun trainer that I shoot more than any other rifle I own has RG3 with EBR-7D on...

    Zeiss SFL 12x50 BInoculars

    My go to general purpose binocular for a couple of years now has been the 10x50 Razor UHD. This new 12x50 SFL has almost as wide of FOV. It is harder to handhold steadily, but given how much I glass off of the tripod, it might be worth giving it a shot, especially when out looking for...

    Zeiss dropped the 12x50 SFL binos today. I have been messing with them for about a month or so. Here are my impressions. ILya

    Primary Arms Optics - Discovery 2025: PLx Compact Long Range Scopes Unveiled

    Pretty much. Except there isn’t a single YouTuber abusing anything in a remotely standardized or scientific way. Nightforce waqs absolutely instrumental in getting LOW to learn how to build robust scopes when they were just starting. That differentiation is long gone. They build nice scoeps...
