It's not just to dial out parallax but also to focus the image so for me it's very important.

Thanks for the review and I'm more convinced than before that I definitely want one.

Bummer! I learned the hard way that certain foams used in rifle cases actually attract moisture. The soft case I won at a raffle ruined my FX Royale 400 With excessive rust. I live in a arid climate and have kept rifles in cases before without problems. Man I was angry when I opened the case...

There's a thing called PBR which is where the trajectory is the flatest. For example with my 30 yard zero I could aim from 20 yards to 40 yards and still hit the brain of a squirrel if hunting them. A little closer and farther if chest shots. I have eye problems so ranging with a scope doesn't...

Open is a division in FT and they range with their scopes just like in Hunter, except Hunter is restricted to 16x or less, but Open you can use any magnification to range with. In the non AAFTA, undivision, we can use a LRF, which is what I do. I don't have time right now to go into expressing...

Great groups Mike! The juice might be worth the squeeze after all. And NO WAY I'm selling those Altaros 60's back that you sold me last year. :p ;) Those 60's will probably get you .1-.2 mils less wind drift than the 49.5's at the farther distances, depending on the conditions, which is...

I want that tripod holding the flag! Why is because just last week my cheapy tripod broke when I put a weight on one of the legs to keep it from blowing over. Ha, it blew over anyway and now I need to re-rivet or screw it back together.

You guys quit "HARP"-ing on those fancy projectiles and prices, lol. Lure's that catch fisherman rather than fish.

Man not to sound snotty but throw that scope in the trash and get a better one, one that has a lifetime warranty! When I was in a not so great financial position many years ago I'd sell stuff I wasn't using to buy better quality items. One example was my wife had a garage sale and made $700 on...

The consensus on SH in the optics forum is that the Tangent Theta 7-35 has slightly better IQ than the ZCO 8-40, but the TT is a ridiculous $7100!!! However the diminishing returns on money spent for either are massive compared to say the ATACR 7-35. You basically get superior IQ in TT, a tiny...

That's hard one! My uneducated guess is whichever company used the most precise/expensive cnc lathe to make the swage die and sizer, or to use for a turned slug??? I use both types, and for farther distances like ELR, both seeming to be just as precisely made, the higher BC slug wins out in...

Thanks. The older I get the more I need the best IQ I can afford. I had the Meopta on at first because it was what I took off the Uragan King I sold but it doesn't parallax and focus below 25Y on 25X so it needed to come off for that FM match because our closest target is 11Y. Then put a...

Yeah I can relate because I put my bipod on backwards a few days ago. :D

That last group was pretty good! I forgot which slugs were you using and at what velocity? Bummer on the gauge though.

Latest update. I gave 101y a try today with the BR set up as shown and first time off a bipod. Man I like MLOK rail interface which I also hadn't tried before. The larger groups were with the dwell set at 28 and the smaller with dwell set at 25. Adjusting the dwell does make a obvious...
