    Rifle Scopes Alpha Class High Magnification 6-36/7-35 FFP Scope Review

    Beautiful, just the box is exciting :LOL: Seriously though, as you can see from my review, I feel the TT 7-35 is the best optical FFP scope available today. In a couple months I will be reviewing the TT 7-35 with a new version ZCO 8-40x56 and I'm trying to figure out how to get a hold of a...

    Rifle Scopes New for 2025, the Kahles K540i

    I think that's the biggest challenge with Kahles - CS and the possibility it may have to go back to Austria for repairs... Huge advantage for ZCO to be hear in the states and TT in the socialist country above us... quick turn around with any issues and excellent CS. IMO, other manufacturers who...

    Rifle Scopes New for 2025, the Kahles K540i

    Appreciate your input and comparisons R_A_W. That is what good wide FOV gets you, a lot of people don't realize how much of a difference the wider FOV is allowing you to stay on higher magnification yet still see more - it is a distinct advantage! Yep, you really have to see it and experience...

    Rifle Scopes ZCO 5-27 vs March 5-42

    Roger that. As Richard hints, there is a patent by Swarovski in the USA that limits certain wide angle eyepiece designs. The Japanese manufacture scopes seem to have gotten around this, potentially with a different design that doesn't infringe upon the patent; however, manufacturers from...

    Rifle Scopes ZCO 5-27 vs March 5-42

    Curious what you mean by ocular size? Are you talking about the wide angle eyepiece used in the Kahles K540i or is there something different you're referring to?

    Rifle Scopes ZCO 5-27 vs March 5-42

    That was my thought as well; however, maybe what NFShooter meant was the wide angle eyepiece?

    Xero C1 Pro - v3.30 update

    This right here ^^^ is the best explanation for why it would be beneficial to re-activate a string. When shooting multiple rifles it would be nice to switch back and forth after allowing one rifle to cool, etc. While I am not a huge fan of Chai-knees, the fact that Athlon now has a similar...

    Rifle Scopes ZCO 5-27 vs March 5-42

    As Richard mentioned, there are no known discount or coupon codes for ZCO, they are very strict on their pricing and making sure their product is not de-valued. That said, CS Tactical is one of the best to work with for ZCO so definitely worth talking with him...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex RG3 6-36x56, Element Theos 6-36x56 and Zeiss LRP S3 6-36x56 Review

    I never saw this red hue/flare issue during my testing. Others have noted that this specific scope has an issue with light sources from behind the shooter that apparently is the root cause of this phenomenon. During my testing I do light sources hitting the front objective but I have not done...

    Rifle Scopes March FX High Master 4.5-28 with FML-TR1 reticle.

    Reason I ask is the March 4.5-28 and ATACR 7-35 a two very different scopes so was curious what made you initially choose between these two. Given your above purpose - silhouette matches between 330-750 I don’t know that either scope will have a distinct advantage over the other optically...

    Rifle Scopes March FX High Master 4.5-28 with FML-TR1 reticle.

    Phenomenal scope, best March FFP scope optically IMHO. Shuriken lock turrets are outstanding, very close to TT with distinct clicks, locking mechanism is unique and works quite well. Very forgiving for such a short design. I’ve had ATACR 7-35 as well, also excellent scope with great optics...

    EoTech Vudu 3-9x is in the House !

    As it exists today in SFP flavor I think the lever gun application is ideal for something like this... as a crossover type of scope for a bolt action I'm not convinced, I think most would still prefer the longer more traditional scopes. If Eotech does come out with a FFP mil version it could...

    EoTech Vudu 3-9x is in the House !

    I love the concept of this scope, not so sure about the execution due to the extremely short design. Love the idea of the ACOG compatibility. Would like to hear your thoughts on how forgiving the scope is to get behind, any strange things going on optically (is 3x really distorted/fisheye...

    Rifle Scopes Alpha Class High Magnification 6-36/7-35 FFP Scope Review

    So I've been thinking about this a bit more - the issue of taking video or images through a riflescope using some type of camera system. I think I've come up with a new disclaimer I will put in my reviews, let me know what you think: For a number of years now I have discouraged shooters from...

    44mm vs 56mm

    It depends on what magnification. Some scopes have what's called a field stop that limit exit pupil at lower magnifications, manufactures will do this to overcome some optical limitations (limited DOF, stray light, etc.) due to other design criteria (like shorter focal length scopes). But...

    Rifle Scopes Which Crossover Scope would you choose?

    One of the biggest differentiators between an MPVO and a crossover scope is that the MPVO should be (ought to be) a natural progression from the LPVO, meaning it is the next step up from LPVO in magnification, size and weight without being overly so. In other words, an MPVO would be in the...

    Rifle Scopes Alpha Class High Magnification 6-36/7-35 FFP Scope Review

    Every manufacturer makes improvements over time to the same model, well maybe not "every" manufacturer, but most who care about their product line. Some will put out Gen 2, Gen 3, etc. but most will make incremental updates over time to the optical formula to improve upon performance without...
