    Gunsmithing Barnes 70gr TSX copper fouling, how bad is it?

    Add another "zero issues here".

    Budget-ish first rangefinder?

    I've been happy with this for my simple needs.

    SAI 10 1-10

    Whatever the case, I sampled them over the course of a few years, so it was rather consistent. Others have complained as well about same.

    SAI 10 1-10

    I looked through maybe 3 or 4. They were all the same.

    SAI 10 1-10

    It was so far ahead of its time. Alas, like the push-button to shift transmissions of yesteryear, it will have to wait its turn, it seems.

    SAI 10 1-10

    Even setting the VCOG 1-6 at 3-4x didn't solve THAT bag of trash for me, but on other scopes, for sure this is the ticket.

    SAI 10 1-10

    When MPVO's reach the size and durability of the LPVO, I am definitely game to explore it. I've actually been trying to find a quality prism sight with a decent reticle, but ACOG's are all that exist in that realm and frankly, the reticle is trash. The Eotech offering shows the concept gaining...

    SAI 10 1-10

    I've found most have what you'd consider design limitations. If I set the diopter to result in a true unity, most scopes will be blurry at 8x. The NX8 is a relatively rare exception for me.

    SAI 10 1-10

    I am very sensitive to diopter shift across magnification ranges, and 1-8's are pretty bad. 1-6's, some good some bad. Mk6 was excellent, vcog was horrific. The nx8 and atacr are pretty good, but the nx8 is closer to true 1x.

    SAI 10 1-10

    The NX8 is VERY picky on setting up diopter. I have found most 1-8x scopes, are, annoyingly, but it's not bad once you set it up. That said, I am still very interested to see how the SAI 1-10 actually do!

    No, they don't.

    SAI 10 1-10

    I asked SAI if they side impact tested. They told me they didn't. Nx8 is a great optic. I use it to shoot things. Not watch birds. Swarovski is my choice for bird watching.

    SAI 10 1-10

    Nightforce is my gold standard. Most other manufacturers don't even do side impact testing. SAI among them.

    SAI 10 1-10

    I guess I just have a special affection for Nightforce because they test beyond what most others do, and I know I can count on them. Hopefully SAI ups their stringency for the SAI10 and its a great and proven option.

    SAI 10 1-10

    Well, you have more insight into it than I do, but what's your take on the reliability/durability of this design, I am curious to know. I understand TT is who is behind it, and that gives me confidence, but still.

    SAI 10 1-10

    People pay vortex 100% markup, I don't think a tariff will matter.
  17. J

    SAI 10 1-10

    No it won't. We overpay like a mf for optics, a lil tariff won't stop anyones purchase.

    SAI 10 1-10

    I believe that the reason nightforce has not or did not improve optical properties may (I say may, since I do not know of course), have required redesigning some assembly in such a way that would compromise durability and reliability. That is why I like Nightforce. I can count on it to work, if...

    Mini scout light

    Mini turbo IS bulkier, but it has more throw by a notable amount, and it's true dual fuel in that a single CR123 will indeed power it, AND with that single CR123, it's still a very VERY viable light. I am measuring over 50K LUX with mine on a single CR123.

    SAI 10 1-10

    Physically that's not really possible unless the tube thickness is increased, but mainly I meant light and lens wise why not do 34mm?
