    Poor SPR Optic

    That’s about where I have mine mounted. I haven’t shot mine yet as I have to wait for this snow to go away and for it to dry up some before I can drive across the pasture to my range. In testing with it if I’m squared up on it standing behind the tripod I have to bring the stock in one click...

    That’s cool. I went with a Seekins MXM on mine.

    What mount are you gonna use?

    Poor SPR Optic

    I agree that daylight bright illumination would solve that issue well.

    Poor SPR Optic

    Also the exit pupil on the Ares 2.5-15 is 3.3mm on the high end and 11.1mm on the low end. I mean do what you want, just saying you might want to take a look at it. The gen2 is $499 at Euro Optics.

    Poor SPR Optic

    I think it’s important to point out that the reticle in the c_does video is a .04 mil thick APRS2 reticle and not the APRS14 with the .06 thickness that the one you linked has unless it’s a different video that I’m not finding. You might still find it too thin but for me it’s decent enough for...

    Poor SPR Optic

    I honestly think a dual focal plain center dot would work really well for this purpose.

    Poor SPR Optic

    That big dot is the main reason I went with the Ares 2.5-15 over the 2-12 for my Aero M5. It has a .06 mil crosshairs and works well enough on the low end although not perfect. I might end up getting the 2-12 for my SPR later on because I think it might fit that purpose ok, but I’m still on the...

    No no no. They’re for sitting your gun down without having to prop it up against something and for photos too.

    Is it possible to become a really skilled long range shooter with a semi-auto?

    Ironically the only weapon I ever had malfunction on me in Iraq was an AK.

    Well imagination tends to jam regardless of how much CLP you apply :)

    Rifle Scopes Is there a market for a good MPVO

    I have gone back and forth about getting one of these and I might end up getting one since everyone likes it so much. That 1moa dot and the mil worth of openness around it has been my biggest issues but other than that I really like the concept of that reticle and I’m sure I’ll manage just fine...

    I’ll say for hunting I use a Swagger bipod.

    Precision Rifle Gear Let’s Talk Bipods

    I use an Atlas CAL on my precision rifles. I have an original Atlas with the free turning legs on my NRL22 rifle just because I had it available and the recoil of a 22 doesn’t make the legs walk like a centerfire does, and my gas guns have Harris S series bipods.

    The new Athlon Ares BTR G3 2.5-15x50, initials, and ongoing thoughts.

    Your findings are very similar to what I’m getting with a 0.06 mil reticle on the gen2. At 2.5x I can’t see the center dot but I can find the center of the crosshairs well enough to use. For my eyes I can make out the crosshairs pretty well at 2.5x in most applications that I’ve tried so far but...

    All in all I prefer to dial elevation whenever I can and hold for wind. Where I’m at the wind is usually so switchy that it makes dialing and bracketing nearly useless. Having said that though I still prefer to have the tree illuminated as well.

    I get that and I suppose for me it’s not so much scopes that just have the crosshairs illuminated but ones that have just the donut or just the very center illuminated that I really don’t like.

    Rifle Scopes Is there a market for a good MPVO

    I used to be a diehard Leupold fan. I used them in the Army and on hunting rifles and I was very hopeful in the Mk3hd and kinda went into it blindly because of the name and was utterly disappointed in what I got.

    Rifle Scopes Is there a market for a good MPVO

    I have the Mk3hd and if the vx3 is anything similar then it’s not that great. My buddy has the vx3 but I have not been able to use it as he’s in another state. I believe you only get one revolution out of the elevation turret with it. I can tell you the mk3 hd has the worst windage turret I...

    Rifle Scopes Is there a market for a good MPVO

    The reason I ask is that I hear people ask for it allot and I see reticles being made that way. For me that illuminated tree on the top end is definitely what I want. I want that for shooting in dark shaded targets, heavily contrasting backgrounds, fighting glare shooting towards the sun, fading...
