    Gas block with 4 set screws instead of 2 taper pins

    Yeah, I was looking at that but would rather have a fixed FSP and/or adjustable. Beggars can't be choosers though. I like the four screws from the side design - I always thought it was silly to have grub screws loosen in the direction of gravity.

    Gas block with 4 set screws instead of 2 taper pins

    Did anyone ever make an adjustable gas block with an a2 style fsp with four set screws where otherwise the taper pins would be? I got a 1:8 stainless douglass with the four divots and would like a FSP gas block, but would also like for it to be adjustable. I might just say fuck it and dimple the...

    Why do we love the MK12 so much?

    I don't know what's not to like. It's just a step away from basically every other shooting/combat discipline. Talking about dodic ammo... with 77gr it's got a .1xx BC difference from the sr25 with 118lr at a faster velocity. Take the can off and it's a usable 3 gun rifle It's a few inches away...

    Rifle Scopes Why do you think an adjustable parallax feature is needed on LPVOs? ? ?

    If there are many arguments for/against where to fix the parallax, quite frankly that sounds like adjustable parallax (maybe capped?) would be ideal. But ideal doesn't mean feasible (with budget included as a factor in feasibility).

    mh25 bluetooth + glasses?

    Anyone know anything about the mh25's bluetooth transport? I just got one today the literature that comes with and it doesn't mention bluetooth hardware specs. Would be cool to see the ability to stream feed to apple glasses or whatever comes out in the next year or two, especially considering...

    best bang for your buck reliable, dialable, hunting scope

    Can't you get the nxs sfp 2.5-10 well used for around 1k? Those are neat little scopes.

    Rifle Scopes Why do you think an adjustable parallax feature is needed on LPVOs? ? ?

    If it's set to 300, a 100m target is likely to be a little blurry, and it might be harder to aim small. Additionally, you'll experience some potential for parallax error (i think enough to care), but that can be mitigated if you keep good/consistent head position.

    Importance of glass at different magnifications

    Oh man. Side by siding a mk6 3-18 and an atacr 4-16 is a fun game. It's not even a matter of magnification... some scopes (especially the mk6) just make things look like there's a ton of mirage, and if you zoom in you're just zooming on this faux-mirage.

    Rifle Scopes Why do you think an adjustable parallax feature is needed on LPVOs? ? ?

    I really appreciate the videos. In the first, he fails to mention that when he increases magnification, exit pupil shrinks and depth of field decreases. It doesn't sound to me like the parallax adjustment is his real issue, it's the super small depth of field at full magnification, and if...

    Night Vision Panobridge

    I just got it in the mail and have been messing around with it. I like the idea a lot. It works as advertised. The bridge is super light, and I'm sure it's super strong. BUT it feels a little "spongey" (not a bad thing if it doesn't break, right?). Perhaps it's an indicator of weakness. Or...

    Rifle Scopes Why do you think an adjustable parallax feature is needed on LPVOs? ? ?

    This is a little incorrect. So if you shrink the aperture of an optical system the resulting image has a longer depth of field (more things are in focus with each other). Additionally, this effect (all other things being equal) becomes more apparent at higher magnifications. I probably...

    Rifle Scopes Why do you think an adjustable parallax feature is needed on LPVOs? ? ?

    That’s fair. This hypothetical scope would be a lifecycle replacement for either today’s new 1-8’s or yesterday’s mk6 kits that are poop, come with poop, and are almost a total waste of money. Requirements writers often distort the ground truth requirements. Fact is, if today’s new issue is the...

    Rifle Scopes Why do you think an adjustable parallax feature is needed on LPVOs? ? ?

    It makes it moot because current optics are fixed. A locking turret just lets you fix it to whatever you want. I would prefer it if my scope was fixed to 200 (what many people zero their AR scopes at) Every scope is a rapid engagement tool...

    Rifle Scopes Why do you think an adjustable parallax feature is needed on LPVOs? ? ?

    The nxs not having adjustable parallax was a shortcoming, not a value added. The older Schmidt was a 1-4 and again is an orange when we’re taking about apples. I don’t care about what usmc requirement writers think their infantryman need. On this war fighting TANGENT (which is what this is...

    Rifle Scopes Why do you think an adjustable parallax feature is needed on LPVOs? ? ?

    I think the whole “warfighters need [this] for [that]” is a totally moot point. I don’t care what anyone else wants, I know what I want. I’ll hear out their opinions, but they likely won’t change my mind about this. AMU requested that the nf sr scope be adjustable parallax. It wasn’t up to the...

    Rifle Scopes Why do you think an adjustable parallax feature is needed on LPVOs? ? ?

    I'm on the side of wanting the knob, but for side focus not for parallax error. 8x is enough to be an almost-sniper optic, but you need side focus to refine image details at say 300m and beyond Worth giving it a shot. It's not necessary, it just looks nice (arguably the difference between gp...

    Rifle Scopes Why do you think an adjustable parallax feature is needed on LPVOs? ? ?

    In terms of correcting for parallax error I don't think he's super far off base, especially for shooting larger targets. You're definitely removing a variable (which is good practice) by removing parallax error, but parallax error in comparison to the rest of your error variable is small.
