Rifle Scopes 7-35 ATACR Question

[Eaglehorn]

Quick question for those of you who've looked through the 7-35 ATACR. Is there any tunneling on the low end? If yes, from what mag is the tunneling present? (e.g., 7-7.5, 7-10, etc.). Asking because I've heard conflicting stuff about this. Thanks.

None...at least on mine

 

[tlsmith22]

I agree...I don’t see any in mine either

None in mine

Just an FYI, we have the Mil-XT's in stock

Thank you.. Now I got it...

Not on mine, but I only shoot that rifle 800-1,790 so no need to pull her back past 20-25 power.

Not my review, but makes some bold claims. I personally feel that the 7-35 is an amazing scope. https://www.gunsamerica.com/blog/best-rifle-scope-ever-built-nightforce-atacr-7-35x/ https://youtu.be/mUx7YgJP8KY Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This isn’t tunneling?

No, tunneling occurs when the sight picture’s diameter is significantly/noticalbly smaller at lower powers. Yours looks to be only slightly smaller at 7x...My Sb 5-25 PSR tunnels real bad at low power. It’s really a 7-25 practically speaking

What your pictures shows is typical darkening at higher mag, common in all scopes

Tunneling is when you lower the magnification and the fov doesn't increase. The sight picture diameter getting smaller is a symptom of it.

No, look at the 7x pic and compare the size of the image circle to the 15x pic. That’s tunneling. It tunnels from 7-9x or thereabouts.

It appears to be very mild, at least compared to my PSR. It’s been quite some time since I looked through one of those 7-35 ATACRs in person but I dont recall it being very noticeable at 7x at all, at least not as dramatic as seen in the photo. Do you have a 7-35? Wonder if the photo makes it look more pronounced that it is in real life?

I have access to 2. I see them twice a week at the range.

Some BS to get hung up about...

My ATACR 7-35 Mil-C has tunneling.

Dumb question but who can even see the damn reticle at 5 or 7 power? Like lowlight has said many times on here does it really matter if a scope tunnels at low magnification. Maybe I’m just blind, I have two 7x35 atacrs and I’ve never noticed any tunneling
