Is that spare round so your can off yourself before you get overrun?

Now that's quite an optic!
How do you like it?
What reticle do you have?
Is the box mounted on the side of the scope an electronic level?
Absolutely love it... its a 6-36 on steroids...slightly sharper than the 6-36 with more contrast
40-50x is crazy sharp !! I love using high power at ELR...so this scope really suits my taste.
M1FL reticle..
Box is a...........Rianov CSI Digital Cant and Slope (Cosine) Indicator

Just using a SP4602....gives me 17mil usable ( circa 1800yds depending on calibre) ....and for anything more i will just put the Prism in front ( 15mil)
@wooferocau I just tested that T6 brake on my .408 barrel. It works great but it moved my POI 4” down at 100 meters. Sound normal?
Reducing recoil can do that, it changes the muzzle position during projectile exit. Most likely shifting POI down.
Depending on the shooter's form and abilities, could be. There could be mechanical issues as well. How do the group sizes compare?
If the groups are as good or better than before, I expect you are ok and it did infact nake the difference. If they are larger than normal it may indicate an interference issue.
I cant remember if any POI changes were apparent sorry ... I wouldn't worry about it. Its a huge difference in mass hanging off the end of the barrel , so i theory it would have an effect on POI..
Question..
Has anybody using a Desert Tech "Ever" had an any optic fail that was previously OK if used on a "Conventional" rifle??
Or.... Has anybody had "ANY" optic fail when used on their Desert Tech?
Thanks..

Great...Thanks
Can you PLEASE list the optics you have used..
I have not. I've heard of optics failing on big bore rifles (think 50 BMG) that were fine when being used on a standard type rifle before.
I've run the following scopes without issue on DT's and other platforms
NF ATACR 5-25
NF ATACR 7-35
NF ATACR 4-16
NF NX8 4-32
NF NX8 2.5-20
NF NXS 3.5-15
NF NXS 5.5-22
S&B 3-20
S&B 5-25
Tangent Theta 525
Kahles K318i
Kahles K625
Kahles K525
ZCO 4-20
ZCO 5-27

No optic failures on mine.
I started with a first edition Vortex Viper
PST 6-24'x50, no problems, just not enough scope in many ways. Then I did the buy once cry once, and ordered an S&B 5-45x56, this is my favorite optic for my shooting! As I thought about what optic I would put on an HTI if I were to get one, it would probably share the same scope. However, your S&B 10-60x56 would be what I would buy for it eventually.
Sure.
Nightforce NX8, Athlon Area, and a couple of vortexes. All through 338 LM. I’m pretty rough on my guns. Nothing seems to get knocked around.
I don’t know as far as the big bores.
Quality optics have evolved a great deal in the last twenty five years and most are able to handle recoil. Back when 50 BMG rifles were few and far between, optics had trouble with their heavy recoil impulse and then effective muzzle brakes that subjected them to a quick reverse impulse. I regularly saw reticles and lenses come loose, and inadequate mounts break at 50 cal matches. Surprisingly, quality air rifle scopes would handle these conditions better than the standard scopes of the day because they were setup to see similar impulse reversals.
The eye piece focus for most instead of the parallax adjustment and the ZCO being the only one with the parallax issue?
You've definitely had some bad luck with scopes.
Yeah.. i have finally realised i have had a complete gut full in regards to optics..!!!
Will most likely from this point just mount the old 7-35 ATACR,s on the Desert Techs...not as flash optically, but i trust them impeccably!!
Wow that's crazy!
I talked to Vortex and Leupold about ring torque specs and how close I could put a ring to the turret housing. They both said an 1/8" or so so I wouldn't mess up my parallax adjustment.
My razor slipped in the rings even though I had it torqued to specs, this is what had me call both companies for a little more detail on how much I could actually torque them.
I now use lapped rings and resin on everything but Sphur. The latter I just use resin.

A 20 lb 50 BMG has a bit of recoil. Still, it shouldn’t be killing optics like you have experienced.
Do you use one certain specific mount?
Did the optic manufacturers ever suggest certain mounts to use or avoid?
We’ve sold lots of hti rifles and I’ve only ever had one customer let me know he had an issue with his optic.
