Wake surfing or ocean surfing? No oceans in South Dakota but we are on our second surf boat. Started with an Axis & now have a Master Craft. Don't believe I've ever had sweet tea & have never owned a lab. Do love my Rhodesian Ridgebacks & my younger son & I have a small collection of snakes...

Are you looking at the Vantage or the Airmax from Hawke? Both the Vantage & the Hawke have adjustable AO down to seven yards. The Vortex is fixed parallax at 50 yards. Vantage is a simple mildot reticle, Airmax is mildot with some additional wind holds, IIRC. I have heard the Airmax reticle...

A few thoughts. Element Optics is said to be coming out with a 3x version of their Hypr-7. Presumably it will have side focus like the current 7x. I have an inexpensive Monstrum 3x. Looking through it indoors at three yards shows a decently in focus image & no noticeable parallax error...

Factory shroud insert or STO or something else? Tuned to the knee or is it a short dwell tune? My dog is getting too old to keep the Marmot away at our cabin so I plan to set up one of my Classics in .25 for close range use.

What projectile & speed?

I think you can go higher than 20 FPE in .25/350mm, but likely still well below what you'd consider fast. My state has a weird law about hunting with airguns, saying that they must be "rated" to shoot 1000 FPS. I tried Polymags in both .177 & .22. I never did get the .22 version up to 1000...

That scope has an adjustable objective instead of side focus.

I'm ashamed to admit I've never seen this movie. Especially so since I was 14 when it was released & already intrigued by airguns, although not allowed to have one. I also grew up very close to where parts of the movie were filmed in Cleveland. I'll have to watch it with my boys.

Norm as far as I know no such product exists. Unfortunate as I think the Leshiy2 needs it as much or more than the Leshiy Classic which of course had options from Carm as well as one from a Russian hobbyist. I actually think that it would be pretty easy to do without blocking the gauge or the...

Also, it is overcast but with a fresh layer of snow here today. Looking at native grass poking above the snow, the reticle on the 2-12x24 is visible across the entire magnification range. For a 6x erector I'm really happy with this reticle. If I were to nitpick a bit, I would point out the hash...

I very quickly compared the Discovery 1-8x24 & 2-12x24 as well as an Athlon 1-8x24, Vector 3-12x44 & a Dedal Stalker 6x. I will note that when the Dedal was released it was marketed as having a massive FOV. In order of greatest FOV to lowest with all at 6x: Discovery 1-8x24 Athlon BTR Gen2...

I just dropped my SCBA off for hydro testing this afternoon. I've been without air for a while so haven't bothered mounting them. Long story. I compared FOV at the same magnification. Both at 2x & both at 8x, as I recall & the 1-8x24 was greater at both. I think I also compared the 2-12x24 to...

I have one but haven't used it yet. I replied to your thread in the General forum but see it was moved to this sub-forum.

Here is a previous thread. https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/new-discovery-lpvo-with-side-focus.1318706/ I still haven't mounted mine. I have done some adjusting to the diopter but without it being mounted I haven't made any serious attempts at getting it dialed in. Still, I suspect getting...

It's an Element 5x30 on ProSport, not an IO 5x30 Pro on a TX200, but basically identical scopes and rifles. I did not look through his postings to see if his ProSport is sub-12 or FAC. https://www.youtube.com/@rammersandtwangers Here is his YouTube Channel. He posts on the UK Airgun Forums as...
