    Defense Secretary Warned Congress U.S. Troops Could Be Deployed If Ukraine Aid Is Not Sent

    Well, the Baltic states are members of NATO and we have a treaty with them that an attack on one is an attack on us all. They - or at least some of NATO - did show up in Afghanistan after 9/11 to help us. But @232593 is right. Putin is absolutely getting his ass kicked in Ukraine. What Guards...

    2A NEWS: Holton Township of Muskegon County MI votes and ratifies 2nd Amendment Sanctuary status. Also drafts Militia proposition.

    Well said sir, well said. We, the people, need a refresher on natural rights. It is a forgotten concept, taught by only the most eclectic ethics and political philosophy college-level classes instead of the broad social studies or civics high school-level classes that everyone should attend...

    Rifle Scopes Tangent Theta 7-35

    Yes correct. Swarov attorneys also correctly cite the EU patent on the US patent. '26 is expiration, for both US and EU. EU legal status is up in air with some court cases that might have overturned it there, at least Leica thinks so.

    Rifle Scopes Tangent Theta 7-35

    The US could be a more easy to defeat legal issue. The US patent looks like a word for word copy, although I didn't read every word of the US patent after the first few paragraphs. To me, the US patent is invalid, based on obviousness from the '06 Euro patent and could be proven in court of...

    Rifle Scopes Tangent Theta 7-35

    So I'm not an optical expert, but I do know something about patents/IP. You can't patent FOV - but you can patent a device that generates FOV, if this device does so in a fashion that is 'novel' and 'not obvious' to someone expert in the art/science of optics. I don't know if the device in the...

    Some good news for a change!!

    Really well written analysis. Thanks. You are assuming the ROCA fights, which may or may not happen, or at least I don't feel well enough informed to make that call. I'm all for giving them Javelins, Stingers, HIMARs and Harpoons/NSMs however with the hope they do fight. Additionally, another...

    Rifle Scopes New Schmidt & Bender PM2 6-36x56

    I hate to be the bearer of more bad news, but I want to make sure the facts are correct.... SO: I just looked at the US patent ('544) that @koshkin referenced in post #1232. This is the governing patent for the US market. It is exactly the same as the European patent (EU '411) from a cursory...

    Rifle Scopes New Schmidt & Bender PM2 6-36x56

    Guys, Braving 100*F heat and no shade, @TheOE800 and I went the extra mile to get you guys the latest testing evaluation of his 6-36x56mm S&B. CONCLUSION: We confirmed the numbers on the S&B website: 100m FOV is 6.2m (20'6") at 6x and 1.0m (3'5") on scopes for the US market. METHODS: one...

    Rifle Scopes New Schmidt & Bender PM2 6-36x56

    @TheOE800 and I are going to field test the FOV this afternoon on his US version. We are going to test it against his Vortex 6-36 and against the specs S&B is reporting. We will test it at 6x, 25x and 36x. We will report back with results. I will also pass along my opinion of the GR2ID...

    Rifle Scopes New Schmidt & Bender PM2 6-36x56

    OK, I have read over that patent. IF I was the lawyer for S&B, I would advise that this is an enforceable patent and not to challenge it. Instead, approach Swarvo about paying a royalty for a license to use it. Or attempt to 'wait it out' (3 yrs at this point). Why? Patents are about the...

    Rifle Scopes New Schmidt & Bender PM2 6-36x56

    I am reposting the link to the patent that the Dark Lord of Optics thinks is holding back S&B: https://patents.google.com/patent/EP1746451A2/en?oq=1746451 I'm going to give it a read and post my opinion (I do patent eval for pharma/biotech products). Curious if anyone else has an opinion on...

    Rifle Scopes New Schmidt & Bender PM2 6-36x56

    FOV is determined by 2 factors, assuming the image is always in focus: height of the sensor and focal length. per this trig formula: AFOV = 2 * arctan (height of sensor / 2*focal length) ... yielding a number in degrees or miliradians. Run angle thru trig using 100m or 100yds to find the...

    @TheOE800 are you in the MD, DC, VA vicinity? (see you are asking a guy w/ Maryland in his name.) If so, I could help you out on testing the FOV. I have LRF, land to test on, and know metric.

    Let's get our terminology straight: They are not Chinese!

    I recently read a think-tank's (see link below) report on CCP development of ballistic missiles, with both conventional and nuclear warheads. The numbers of new missiles and launchers that CCP is putting into service is staggering (1000s across all types). They highlighted the DF-21 and...
