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

    If you need repair, with March, the scopes do need to go back to Japan. They do have someone in the US, so you send the scope there and they deal with everything from that point on. I am not aware of anything ever taking nine months for them to repair. Maybe there was some sort of a glitch...

    Rifle Scopes DNT 7-35x56 FFP Riflescopes

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

    On balance, this is probably my favourite scope from the March line-up, although I am quite partial to the new shuriken turrets. I have those on the 1.5-15x42 and I am quite impressed. ILya

    Leica Geovid Pro 10x42 AB+

    Faster readout is always a nice thing, but how big of a difference it makes overall is an open question. For top shooters, it might. For me, shotting NRL Hunter matches, that's the last of my concerns. For PRS, I do not think it would make a ton of difference, since you are not ranging on the...

    Leica Geovid Pro 10x42 AB+

    Leica has an edge over the UHD despite having an integrated LRF, but it is not a big edge. I have not compared them in low light, but the gap might close a little there due to Razor’s larger objective. ILya

    Leica Geovid Pro 10x42 AB+

    Faster readout speed is always nice, but I have to admit it has not given me any issues. It takes me a little time to pick up the landmarks, so readout speed has not been an issue. It is supposed to snow at the hunter match this coming weekend, which should be a good test of inclement weather...

    Magpul - 2025 New Maztech X4-FCS & X4-LRF

    From what I understand, they are working through the first batch of trial production units. If the integration between X4 and WMLRF is as good as it looked on production units, they will do very nicely with these. I was pretty impressed with it at SHOT, so I have been occasionally chatting...

    Leica Geovid Pro 10x42 AB+

    I've had the Leica Geovid Pro AB+ here since December and have been using it pretty exclusively since then. I suspect, it will remain my primary binocular at least for this year and quite possibly beyond that. I finally have a wrap-up video up on Youtube: and I discussed it in a few...

    Telson optics

    Telson is based in Canada. A couple of guys behind it are shooters, so the have a pretty decent grasp on the applications, etc. I helped them with the reticles a bit, so I know them pretty well. The 3-18x50 and 5-32x56 are made in Japan by JOL. I have the 3-18x here that I am testing and I...

    NEW- Limited Razor 1-6

    That's a very cool version. The illumination in this is diffractive, like in the Gen3, except it is in the second focal plane. They originally developed this version at a specific request of a military customer. Very few ever went out to civilians if any. With diffractive illumination...

    Rifle Scopes Which Crossover Scope would you choose?

    Maarten told me you were there, but I never ran into you. Unfortunately, I had to run off a bit earlier on Sunday, so I did not stay for the awards. That was my first match and shooting as an amateur, I decided to just do what the pro I was paired with was doing. I ended up just doing what he...

    Rifle Scopes Which Crossover Scope would you choose?

    Good choice. 4.5-22x50 is an excellent scope for a gas gun. I have to admit I seldom dial beyond 15x and usually shoot on 12x or so, but larger exit pupil makes it notable more comfortable. If you are going to be on high mag a lot, bumping up the objective diameter is often a good idea. Oh...

    62gr ELD-VT in a 22-250

    Anyone do this experiment yet? I have a 1-8" twist 22-250, so I am considering it. ILya

    Rifle Scopes Which Crossover Scope would you choose?

    That's a pretty personal question. If the idea is to give yourself the means to extend the range, than any decent FFP scope will do that even if it is not as good optically as the Meopta R2 (Stryker is fairly close, with Tract being slightly behind). If you are just looking to have a little...

    ❓ How Can I Determine the FoV at Magnifications other than Min. and Max. Given in the Specs?

    FOV at Max Mag * Max magnification / Magnification X = FOV at Magnification X Something to keep in mind: -Min magnification is usually non-linear due to low power tunneling. -Magnification ring engravings at intermediate settings are often slightly off.

    Optic choices for $3500 and less?

    I just built a boltgun for my 13 year old daughter, but I went with a 6ARC. There is barely any recoil and she enjoys shooting it. I ended up putting a Telson 3-18x50 on it. I was not looking for a lot of magnification the scope was here for testing anyway. It turned out to be a nice and easy...

    Night Vision The Official: Steiner C35 Thermal Clip-on Review and User Thread!

    Machine shop screwed up the geometry of the clamp. They are trying to figure out if it can be re-worked or if a new run of the clamps has to be made. ILya

    SAI 10 1-10

    I suppose that qualifies as consistency too. I do not remember that design having any particular issues. On the inside, it is just a normal LOW 1-6x24 except packaged to look tough. Maybe there was a particularly eggregious batch. ILya
