Rifle Scopes Hensoldt Glamour Shots and some general info

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.

Don't mind the friendly ribbing, you won.
 
Re: Hensoldt Glamour Shots and some general info

jason-

When I go to use the feeler gauge method I either shove too many in (and "lock" the feeler gauge in place when I tighten down the rings), or too few and I get the scope to 'rock' against them on one side or the other. I'm having a tough time finding the correct number of gauges that are tight enough to hold it level, but loose enough to remove. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

It's funny that so many people mention the money involved. We all have our vices. As stated above I likely have less toys than most. I don't smoke, drink very little, travel even less....with no fancy watches, an "old" car, no boats or other money draining hobbies.....I can afford nice glass.

I lead a simple life, that's all. </div></div>

I like how you conveniently left out your meth addiction, like it doesn't cost anything.

Yeah but quantity has a quality all its own!!

That is a sweet collection.

Re: Hensoldt Glamour Shots and some general info

Well, no handy pics of me actually using a Hensoldt, but here are the trophies from the two comps I shot with my Henny this year. 2nd place, 5th place and Top Long Range Shooter. All that with a standard mildot and no zero stops....impossible!! Oh, there was a 1st place in a local comp, but I didn't stick around to get my certificate from that one.

Don't worry, I'm tight with the police here. I agreed to keep you at least 500 feet away from the local farm animals, in turn they said you have a pass, under my supervision.

Long story short, no more heavy petting zoo for you.
 
Re: Hensoldt Glamour Shots and some general info

Gee thanks bro!! I'm not in any of the pics!! I'm real sorry yer jealous of my attire and I can't help the physique I was born with, but to leave me out of the group pics is hearbreaking!!

Re: Hensoldt Glamour Shots and some general info

If you all can see, the Hensoldt guys are front and center of the media!! In other words if your not running a Hennie you're at the back of the bus, OR the very end of the line, Oh was that because I was late??

Unless yer as perty as 175G, and get to mix with the Hennie snobs!!
