If TT had a 25 (or better 10 yard) minimum parallax and a 30+ top end power, i would own several, but about all I shoot anymore are nice .22's out to 400 yards and 3 gun stuff out to 6-800 (and very few of those past 300 in 3 gun).
I'm anxiously waiting on the new March scope. Hopefully it...
Thank you.
I don't remember this problem on any of my older NXS's, which I no longer have.
When I was shooting PRS matches heavily (w/PM II's), I always just set the yardage to a mid range on the course and shot, can't do that now with a NF, as you have no reference on the dial that is close.
My backyard range has fixed steel from 100-400 yards and paper stands at 50, 100, 200 and 400, so I am shooting in fairly fixed conditions, only big difference may be temp and sun.
On my PMII's the yardage marks on the parallax knob are always very close to actual range (always within 10-25...
Excellent video Ilya!!
If you get the time, I would love to have an explanation of why some scopes have fairly accurate, consistent (ie, 100 yards marked on dial is close to 100, not 400 one day and 75 the next) parallax adjustment (like S&B) and others are horrible (like NF).
Thanks again!
Why did you buy a titanium BCG??? Then have an H2 buffer??? Remove weight, then just add it back? Just curious....
Remove the BCG....an unfired, factory round should drop COMPLETELY into the chamber with the gun pointed down, if you have to push it in all the way, the chamber is too tight...
They'll be like any better production .22 rifle, ie, CZ's, Tikka's, Sako's, etc....out of 5 guns, 2 will shoot very good, 2 OK... but not great, and one that sucks.
That's why you always get conflicting accuracy reports on all the reviews.
Any way to dim the light down further in software? I get a really bad glare in a shiny bore, the lowest setting on the little roll switch turns it off about 2/3 down, just when it should be getting to about the right brightness.
The CMMG FP breaks with regularity at around 1200 rounds on my 4 examples (same place as the above pic shows) CMMG is good about warranty, and has replaced about 6 or 7 for me,
I have several different triggers (Giessele, RRA, mil spec and a Franklin Binary) and all are about the same.
How do you know your bore sighter is level? I've never used one, so maybe it's a dumb question....
What if the scope is not EXACTLY over the bore centerline? Does the bore sighter account for this?
The discontinued Mega Monolithic can still be found on the classifieds sometimes, don't think anything else would be close to a true monolithic upper AND handguard all made out of one block of aluminum.
Uses standard barrels, too.
Mike,
Are the bodies hollowed out so they are not too heavy? Sides screwed together?
Some might want the extra weight, but it would be easy to fill a hollow cavity with weight if they want it, but harder to make them lighter.
Bohem, I always wondered about the water problem, and your explanation makes more sense than reduced friction on the case walls, as even in the quoted engineering study, the slickest (oiled case/polished chamber) vs. a dry/320 finish only increased bolt load by 1000-1200 lbs or so.
But I also...
I don't understand how the parallax can be off so far at different times on the NF's. I hate this and I have both a 7-35 ATACR and a NX8 4-32 side by side and they both do the same thing (The NX8 does not have yardage marks, but will be WAY different every time I take it out). I actually sent...
I've seen (many times) while shooting matches in a hard rain (everything from .223 to 6.5 Creed, even a .308), guys popping primers and showing extreme pressure when their ammo and/or gun's chamber is wet. I've seen this even with factory ammo.
Can't imagine how just lower case wall friction...
