Rifle Scopes YT video about turret test/abuse

Lets say you have a scope with 3m elevation adjustment at 100m. This gives you an angle of about 1.7° from top to bottom.
I don't know how long the typical erector system is but lets just say 200mm. In that case the erector would be moved about 6mm in height, from top to bottom. (Edit: That is a very simple calculation leaving out many factors, so nothing more than an a approximation. For a 150mm erector it would be 4,5mm of total travel)

How do you get a 200mm erector assembly in a 34mm tube?

My point was just that there is little movement in the system, nothing more.

Obviously you move the erector back and forth, enough to heat it up. Then toss it in like a rivet.

At least according to the OP.

But just heat it up a little. How much? I don’t know, but a little. Maybe it’ll work. But maybe it won’t. I definitely don’t know. But I definitely think it might could.

Make it permanent

Ban that retards dog too

Easy. He said the erector assembly was 200 mm LONG, not 200 mm in diameter.

The lowest temperature that will affect hardening is the temperature at which the steel was annealed.
For a simple carbon steel that will be about 200 degrees Celsius. Other types of steel it is above 500 degrees Celsius.

You would burn your fingers off before any damage was done to a spring.

That's not even close to being correct. Maybe you're confusing tempering with annealing.

And wtf is simple carbon steel? What's the carbon content of that.

What steel has an annealing temperature of 200 C? LOL

I know better but im still watching this.

No point, he banned. Troll purgatory for him & his dog.

Had he put this in the Bear Pit we coulda kept him wiggling on the line for our entertainment.

Nothing like the recent Valdada thread, but still entertaining.

Holy crap this was funny. Even better is that the spring is housed inside of an aluminum housing. The aluminum would dissipate any heat generated faster than it is produced. The spring will get hotter sitting in the sun on the firing line than it ever would from being used.

Normally I’d send him to pit for a spanking.

But people are a bit on edge right now.

 

[Hesperidins]

I'd bet the amount of heat generated from movement is not even measurable with any consumer-grade thermometer.

I just finished the Valdada thread in one sitting because you guys mentioned it.

Make your way over to the Legendary Thread. Lots of good ones in there.

Was considering nominating this one for Legendary status. Any seconds?

As always I miss all the fun.

For the record, I am very friendly with Cyclops Joe. He is a good dude and definitely has a way with words.

His high speed turret twister thing (aka nipple twister) does not do anything adverse to the springs or the turrets of decent scopes. It does break the turret in a little bit, so it probably makes the clicks a bit more consistent.

Do keep in mind that Joe originally spent a lot of time with really crappy scopes where the turret can come off, so for those it is a biit of a stress test. However, once you move up in price a little bit, it is nothing more than break in.
