Re: Hensoldt Glamour Shots and some general info
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: jasonk</div><div class="ubbcode-body">A lot of guys here know that I'm a big fan of the Hensoldt scopes. I really love the sight picture, it's been said 100 times before, but it's just so easy to get behind. The glass is clear, clicks are great and tracking is spot on....etc etc.
Anyway, I have my scopes out of their mounts right now doing some general housekeeping, waiting for a Spuhr mount and moving some glass and rings around between rifles. It seemed like a good time to take some pictures and answer some questions I've been asked both publicly and in PM. All scopes are set to mechanical middle so the elevation knobs are a little higher than they'd be on the rifle.
The pictures are nice, not the best, you'd think I'd find a decent dust cloth....oh well, here they are. I need to work on my depth of field as well, I wish they were a little clearer front to back.
Front 2 scopes are 4-16x56 and the rear two are 3-12x56. Not much length difference.
3-12 in back w/ ARD, 4-16 in front....tape measure showing the length of a S&B 4-16x50.
One of the reasons I like the Hensoldt so much is the compact package that it comes in.
Just a close up of the knobs
Another fairly random shot
Sunshade vs ARD length

now that is what I call high clas scope porn. just beautifull.
Don't mind the friendly ribbing, you won.
