Last week at SHOT I met with the folks at DNT Optics. Looking at the products, they are gonna do a SH Package to pair several models like the 7-35x, 5-25x and a 3-18x. With that pairing I suggested a reticle for the members. I was thinking we can do one like the old IOR build where we all...
I just don't get what's up with all the "tools" to do this. Here's my technique that has worked for literally years, and all you need is a carpentry level, a bubble level, and a pencil.
Put your rifle in a gun vise and position with a wall several feet behind the butt
Use the pencil and...
Swarovski STR-65 First Focal Plane Spotting Scope. This comes with the sought after 25-50 Wide Angle lens, and a custom padded scope cover that can be used on the body while mounted to a tri-pod. The on-off reticle (awesome feature) has 15-brightness settings. Photos of the reticle were taken...
Bushnell Tac Optics spotter, 15-45x60 straight scope with Mil-hash reticle. The glass is in perfect condition, no blemishes. There is an issue with the focus ring which apparently is common with these scopes: the adhesive holding the rubber grip in place, uh, sucks. So you sorta have to grab the...
A newly purchased in the bore cartridge shaped laser shows high and to the right on a scope that has already been zeroed for 100 meters.
Scope is not off because I shot it before putting in the laser and it was hitting correctly.
Anyone have any ideas why the laser is not lining up on target...

Also comes with MPA BA mount for this scope that has had some use.
$1400 $1350 for the package deal.
This is for 22LR only so I'm not looking for comments across the board, because I know how NRL22 and any such type 22LR type shooting requires different type Optic requirements then any other platform.
This question is directly related to ZCO items, what is the best Reticle to choose from for...
I have a Bushnell Elite Tactical LRTS 4.5-18x44. I have had the scope for maybe a year and have been using it during that time with no noticeable issues. I just went to move the scope to my hunting rifle and noticed that the reticle is not centered in the eyebox, or field of view, when I look...
Been looking for a lightweight hunting scope for my 6.5 Grendel deer rifle, and I've mostly settled on the Leupold VX5hd 3-15x44. I really like the htmr reticle, but it seems to never be in stock, as well as not having the firedot. The standard firedot duplex is in stock however.
My question is...
Hi all,
I have just acquired my rifle license in the UK and am looking to start off right and buy one of the absolute best optics I can buy.
I would say I'd be 50/50 hunting deer and vermin or target shooting.
What I'm looking for is scopes with the absolute best clarity.
I was thinking a...
Hi all.
Why Meopta Optika6 5-30x56 in its .308 reticle stipulates that measurements are only valid in 6x, as FFP is to show the same graduation measure regardless of magnification.
Only L6 and L7 would change their size with different magnifications.
or I'm wrong?
Thanks, and stay safe (y)
Looking at leupold's website it appears that the illuminated tmr option has a floating center dot while the non-illuminated version has a solid center crossair. Can anyone confirm this is correct for the non-illuminated version?
I am looking at buying a ZCO scope for my .22lr. I have never used a tree like reticle. I am interested in trying one and was looking at the MCPT3 but am wondering if I should just stay with the MCPT1 will be using for NRL 22 and taking it out to distance
Ahead of the arrival of my ZCO 527 today on the brown truck, I was researching this subject a little bit in an effort to get the most out the optic.
I heard ZCO recommends setting the focus at the lowest magnification within the range. I had previously been told the opposite and to use max...
For those that have used both, how do you like them?
Im about to order my 300wm scope (TT5-25) that only comes with the Gen2xr, but the more i look at center dot reticles (MR4, Mil-C) the more I think I'd really enjoy it.
any issues like losing the dot, hard to see, etc? Worth the upgrade over...
I had a question about adjusting the zero/level/alignment of the scope reticle to the action. I have tried searching but it has been vague in answers. I have a Burris MTAC 4.5-14x-42mm scope. I am going with a solution I am able to do at home inexpensively. (I may change my mind and go to a...
Given a budget of $2K-4K and parameters of:
variable magnification: 5-ish to 21+
tree-style reticle
generous eye box
bright sight picture at max magnification (exit pupil)
What would you buy?
The eye box and brightness are a big deal for me. I would go postal if I blow that kind...
A few months ago, I posted some info on the hide about the gear the top 50 shooters in the Precision Rifle Series were using, including caliber, cartridge, scope, gunsmith, action, barrel, stock, bullet, powder, suppressor, muzzle brake, and rear bag.
In case someone isn't familiar with the...
I sent my older 2001? (can't remember) 4.5-14x50 Leupold Vari X iii Long Range Tactical in for a new reticle. They said the MOA reticle for SFP 14x was ready. I like it. Cost me around $150 and they cleaned and checked out my scope.
I don't post much, but learn a lot. This may be old...
I have an older Gold Ring that has a mil-dot reticle with round dots and hash marks every half mil. The Leupold web site shows the Mark 4 spotter with a mil-dot reticle with no half mil hash marks, but the image is just a drawing. I have not found another image online.
Do the newer Mark 4...
