    Why are all scope reticles black?

    Black light? That would be a near trick. Generally, you can have a larger reticle feature become visible via a beam splitter or a phase grating

    Will NF design a wide angle lens?

    I have the Gen1. It does have wide FOV.

    Will NF design a wide angle lens?

    The wide angle lens discussion is probably worth a livestream as well. Maybe next week. I'll do one on why reticles are black tonight or tomorrow. A couple of observations: to make a riflescope with a very large apparent FOV, you need either a very large eyepiece or shorter eyerelief. There...

    March-FX 5-42X56 HM Gen 2 with writable turrets at SHOT Show 2025 along with new concepts scopes

    I thought Tangent shipped their scopes with ARDs. Tenebraex ARD works very well.

    March-FX 5-42X56 HM Gen 2 with writable turrets at SHOT Show 2025 along with new concepts scopes

    Well.... The business with translating vs non-translating turrets can be argued both ways and I am not entirely sure which is a better way to go. From impact resistance standpoint, non-translating turrets are usually a better idea. The way most of those turrets are designed, if you drop the...

    Why are all scope reticles black?

    This is a really good question and it never occurred to me that anyone would be asking it. It is one of those blindingly obvious things that, looking at this thread, is apparently not obvious. Now that I think about it, unless you have had a chance to think about how we see things, it probably...

    Rifle Scopes DNT 7-35x56 FFP Riflescopes

    Correct. With the rail screws, I also torque them, then loosen, then torque them down a couple of times, to make sure everything is properly seated. Alternatively, you could add some oil/grease to the datum surfaces to minimize on errant friction. ILya

    Rifle Scopes MK5 HD 2-10x new reticles coming?

    That's not true. Many companies have fucked up duplex reticles. Maybe not with the same enthusiasm, but they have. ILya

    Rifle Scopes Are ADM QD, verical split ring mounts that bad?

    The issue is not really whether the rings are split vertically or horizontally or diagonally. It just so happens that most vertically split rings, ADM included, rely on the ring halves deforming as you tighten them around the scope tube. That guarantees that they end up out of round and...

    Rifle Scopes EO Immersive series 5 x 30

    Are you looking at from your phone? it looks quite sharp through the browser on my computer. You may want to try on a different device. The ranging is for a 70" tall object (long vertical lines). Horizontal line is 18" at each distance (shoulder width). Vertical line above the horizontal is...

    It is easily one of my favourite SFP LPVOs on the market today. ILya

    Hey Primary Arms CEO Marsh.......

    I am not big on chevrons in precision optics. I think it is a mistake to put it there. I do not mind the chevron on low power optics. It is not my favourite option, but it does not get in the way either. As far ACSS reticles go, they clearly work very well for PA's customers. Over the...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark 4HD

    I visit Vortex with reasonable regularity and was there for a few days in September. I can give you a 100%, iron clad guarantee that they have the ability to fix scopes right there in Wisconsin. It is a good size team with quite a few engineers and technicians. While my experience with...

    Rifle Scopes Help picking light weight scope for shorty build

    3-15x42 HD-LHT is an excellent scope and there is a lot to be said with sticking with what you know works for you. That having been said, I also have the Delta 1.5-9x45 mentioned above and it is very good in low light and VERY fast on target. That fiber illuminated dot really draws your eye...

    Rifle Scopes LPVO Evaluation Vortex Gen III 1-10 - March Shorty 1-10 - ATI SAI 6 1-6

    It was just a rumor. There was never a 1-8x planned (that I am aware of). ILya

    Vortex Razor HD Gen III 6-36x56

    That's entirely possible. I do not have any especially strong opinions on the subject, to be honest. When I tried to figure out what works best for me, I got two identical March 5-42x56 scopes, one with a fml-tr1 tree reticle and one with fml-3 non tree reticle and went back and forth for a...
