    Rifle Scopes Delta Stryker HD

    I don't see anything earth shattering with the reticles offered. Specs are within a few percentage points of an Athlon Cronus for length and weight. Cronus has very useful reticles as well, standard or BTR. Cronus glass is also alpha-class. Athlon is located in the US so support (if needed) is...

    Rifle Scopes nightforce dilema

    Even with a turret swap or a reticle swap, the reticle is still gonna be in the second focal plane. I'd sell it and get the right tool for the job. It should fetch some decent money, it is an NF NSX after all. A used ERS or the like shoudn't be but a few hundred bucks away at that point.

    Rifle Scopes I have extra money for a new scope

    Really the only weakness the Razor Gen IIs have IMHO are weight. In every other measure of performance they are right there with the best scopes money can buy (again, IMHO). I have a Gen II 1-6 and it is heavy for its class, but I've managed to convince myself that means it's overbuilt and can...

    Rifle Scopes How many is too many?

    It took me a few years to quit the "optics of the month" club. While a member I owned S&B PMII 5-25 Steiner M5 5-25 Mark 3-24x42 USO ER25 5-25 I bought and sold them here on the Hide for the most part. They all worked like they were supposed to, at least within my ability to use them.

    Rifle Scopes How many is too many?

    I have 2 alpha scopes (Minox ZP5) on my "best" rifles (AIAX and 6x47L build) and less expensive scopes on my lesser builds. It's what I can afford, or at least what I can justify. I have a Cronus 4.5-29 on a 223AI build. I paid $1060 for it on clearance. If I didn't have it, I'd be looking for a...

    Rifle Scopes GDI Mount Lock Up Issue

    How about a little grease on the cam surfaces? ADM mounts are the same way in my experience, but their design limits the adjustment to 1/6th of a turn of the screw (a hex dropping into a hex shaped pocket). I could never find a middle ground where I was comfortable with the clamping force but...

    Rifle Scopes Schmidt & Bender 5-25 PMii Help (Impacts are landing the opposite of Turret Markings)

    To move the point of impact to the right you turn the windage turret AWAY from the R. Notice the arrow above the L visible in the picture indicates turning the knob towards the R in order to move impact to the left. It's pretty confusing, I don't know why the numbers above the zero don't just...

    Rifle Scopes Rangerproof/Shepherd 1-8x24mm

    Made in China based on the price and the red/green illumination. I'll wait until someone whose opinion I trust can provide first hand experience.

    Rifle Scopes cronus on sale @ Cabelas

    Mine arrived today, a day early (thanks UPS). Immediately I greased the turret o-rings with AMSoil synthetic grease. I don't have the first one I bought to do a side to side comparison but it seems they increased the spring weight on the pawl (detent). Everything else is as I remember, my only...

    IOR Binocular eye piece repair

    Gel type superglue will work fine. Clean both surfaces to be bonded with acetone or alcohol and allow to dry first.

    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    AFAIK it's just a black oxided grade 8 (metric grade 12.2) screw so it does not have much corrosion resistance. I can see that happening.

    Rifle Scopes What Can I Clean Lenses With

    This. I resist the urge to clean lenses unless they get dirty enough to effect light transmission. When I go to clean, first I blow the lenses off , then as Doug of CLNY recommends I brush to one side with a Lenspen brush, then blow off again... the worst thing you can do is rub a lens with a...
