Anyone know what size covers a Bushnell ERS 3.5-21x 50mm uses? I just ordered the scope and want to order an IOTA now.

Yes, I have been useing my I.O.T.A. to mount all my scopes.
I use a thread with a washer hanging as a plumb line. The thread I used had to hang for a while before it quit spinning but after that it was good.
I put the tread up in front of my white garage door for good light and contrast. It looked better with a blank back round so all I could see was the thread and the reticle.
I figure the eye relief first and mark it with a piece of tape.
Then I clamp the barrel in my vise with rubber jaw pads and put a machine level on the scope base.
The tricky part is getting your vise and rifle pointed in the right direction to see the tread.
When you get everything lined up you are ready to tighten the caps.
You can see your scope rotate as you tighten the ring caps down to much on one side or the other.
It is a little extra effort, but when you are done you will never have to wonder if your reticle is lined up plumb over the bore of your rifle.
I have been using Chucks IOTA with a S&B 1.1-4x20 ShortDot for some time. Primarily I find it useful for standing snap shooting practices as I regularly compete in matches where the targets are only exposed for 3 secs. I have been playing with simple Powerpoint slide shows with plain backgrounds but have recently added pictures of the actual range I shoot on so the match practice is even more representative. I can scale the targets up or down to represent actual target size at various distances. Here's a movie clip, actual PowerPoint slide show clarity and definition is far superior and works really well with an iPad.
Standing - YouTube
Target is exposed for 3 secs, the practice requires the shooter to stand with rifle at the ready alert pointing towards the ground at 45 degrees, on appearance of the target come on aim and dry fire one round, the return to the ready alert.
tremendous aid in scope leveling.Thanks Chuck!
[email protected] is another way to reach me about the IOTA. Thanks All
I emailed him too about one for an AMG but no response yet
I emailed and received a response same day.
When was this? Maybe he’s on vacation.
Yesterday. And I apologize, it was not same day but I emailed Thursday and received the response Friday, yesterday. So less than 24hrs though.

I just received my IOTA yesterday for my Vortex PST Gen 2. Chuck was great to work with! I have not had time to use it yet.
I am thinking about creating a PowerPoint with videos of Elk, deer, and other targets running around. Anyone have any advice?
4k videos and high res photos only or does standard work?
If I get it working I will figure out a way to share it... Does anyone have something like this already?
would youtube or other online video platforms work?
thanks in advance

Hello Chuck #264shooter,Is the lens oriented with the convex surface towards the muzzle or towards the shooter? It fell out of the scope cap and am not sure which way to put it back in. Since then the image doesn’t seem sharp in either orientation (no scratches on it).[email protected] is another way to reach me about the IOTA. Thanks All
