    Rifle Scopes No love for March?

    I owned a 3-24x42 with the FML-1 reticle in the FFP for a while. I found the glass to be very impressive, neutral color with very good light transmission and resolution. Of course it performed best at or below 20x magnification, with a 42 mm objective and the resulting small eye pupil, there's...

    You just drained the cooling system, now your scope's gonna overheat.

    Rifle Scopes Retical view

    Although FOV is usually expressed as "x width at y distance", FOV is angular. "x width at y distance" is tangent value of the angular FOV. I've owned a few different high power variable scopes that top out at 25x or so and the angular FOV on all are around 7 mils, so that's how much windage or...

    Rifle Scopes Scope Height Question

    The ZP5 scopes come with Tenebraex covers which are pretty decent. Until the Aadland covers were introduced, I believe the Tenebraex were the gold standard. They do require screw in adapters, though, so they are not compatible with every scope. The Aadland covers are the best IMHO, and they are...

    Rifle Scopes Cutting a scope sunshade.. who has done it?

    I'm leaving on vacation in 2 days but if you PM me after the 21st, I can modify it in my lathe for you if you pay shipping both directions. It will take 5 minutes to part off the excess and chamfer the inside and outside edges. I'll treat the exposed aluminum with some Alumablack, too, but that...

    Rifle Scopes Richard Uttings scope reviews

    If he rated an IOR scope as the best I suppose I'll just be running scopes that are not the best, currently Minox ZP5s. I can't dismiss the many failures of older IOR scopes reported by my fellow Hiders or my own awful experience trying to get support for an Optolyth spotter through Val (he was...

    First Look ?- Cronus Tactical Spotting Scope by Athlon Optics

    Bushnell ET rifle scopes and Athlon Cronus rifle scopes are built in the LOW factory in Japan. It's likely that the spotters are also built there. The Cronus spotter was built to the specification required by Athlon, and it weighs what it weighs, regardless of how similar it appears (from the...

    Rifle Scopes SVSSED 4,5-24 In Hand

    Take a closer look. The UTG rings you have pictured are dovetail mount. Their Pro Picatinny Rail mount rings have the solid square lug.

    Rifle Scopes SVSSED 4,5-24 In Hand

    On closer examination, although there is a strong resemblance between the contour of the rings (especially the details in the caps) and similarities between the bases in the MPA and ZRODelta mounts, they are not identical. I believe, at a minimum, the design of one was strongly influenced by...

    Rifle Scopes SVSSED 4,5-24 In Hand

    These are the UTG Pro rings I have. https://leapers.com/index.php?act=prod_detail&midx=1870&allids=1821_1868_1870&itemno=RWU013010 They have the solid lug. They were $45 on Amazon.

    Rifle Scopes SVSSED 4,5-24 In Hand

    The only rings I've seem with the retractable pin style lug are for air rifles. The UTG rings (which are current production I just bought) have a US patent number on them so if there is a patent infringement issue I doubt it is UTG that has the problem. In all likelihood XLR is reselling...

    Rifle Scopes SVSSED 4,5-24 In Hand

    My UTG Pro have the 60% lug like the XLR. They are the exact same design with different branding. UTG Pro is made in the USA and all of the UTG Pro parts that this consumer with 20 years experience in the machine shop has purchased have been of very good design, materials, machining, and finish...

    The difference is you paid $25 more than me for an XLR logo.

    Are those UTG Pro rings? Looks just like a set I picked up to try out. Fact is they're good rings especially for the price.

    Rifle Scopes The LAST scope you'd ever own?

    Maybe when they come out with a better reticle, but personally I wouldn't spend the $1500 premium over the cost of the Minox on a TT.

    Rifle Scopes The LAST scope you'd ever own?

    I guess I've standardized on the Minox ZP5. I have two 5-25s, one with MR2 and one with MR4 reticle. Good glass, good turrets, good tracking, useful reticles, lifetime warranty covering defects AND accidental damage, backed by an optics company that's been around for a long time. I'm 53 so they...

    Rifle Scopes Did Scalaworks steal this design from American Rifle Company

    It's not me second guessing. The original recommendation I read on the ARC website was 70 in/lbs. which seemed excessive to me. When I finally got a set of M10 rings, the recommended torque was 50 in/lbs.
