    Can someone explain digital and optical zoom?

    Yes the Zulus does not have an optical zoom, it is a fixed lens digital scope. All zoom capabilities are digital only.

    Umarex Notos

    I have to agree, a SFP scope would probably be better for a beginner especially on a Notos, and shooting short range. He likely won't even be able to see the crosshairs on a FFP scope when looking in a tree for a squirrel shot.

    DNT TNC225R - Anything better for the price?

    If you think you need to have thermal then this is currently the cheapest all-around option out there. If you don't need thermal then I would suggest a Zulu's as it has better daytime picture.

    Target practicing in woods; in Trouble NEED HELP!

    If this was a state park, it makes sense now. Park rangers tend to be clueless and over zealous.

    Stoeger Stoeger XM1 Bullpup How Tune Down?

    I finally had a chance to tinker with this. Surprised how easy it was to get the results that I wanted so quickly. 3 full turns out on the hammer spring adjuster put me right at 800 fps. I ended up tuning to 850 fps with exactly 2.5 turns out. Thanks again for all of the helpful comments.

    Stoeger Stoeger XM1 Bullpup How Tune Down?

    Thank you fellow members for all of the help and suggestions. I'm really looking forward to tackling this as soon as I get a chance in the next day or two. JimD, thank you for the very detailed post. That will take a lot of the guesswork out of fiddling with an unfamiliar gun.

    Stoeger Stoeger XM1 Bullpup How Tune Down?

    Recently acquired the Bulllshark in .177. Actually shoots quite well for it's price. It currently shoots around 1100 FPS w/ crossman premier HP too hot for my needs. I'd love to be able to get this thing down to under 800 FPS. Is that possible and how? I can't seem to find any tuning...

    American Air Arms Hm1000x fps.

    A small spray bottle with soapy water's your best friend for finding leaks. I'd try to find the source of the leak before you start replacing random seals.

    DNT Optics ThermNight TNC225R

    For some reason I've always had to shim every one of my digital/night Scopes on my air guns. They've always all shot too low. It's never taken much more than a small thin piece of brass to get it close to zero elevation. I have found that most of these night Scopes are not very airgun (magazine...

    Ghosted some prairie dogs

    Does your Ghost lose all of the air that's in the gun when you take the bottle out? My first time swapping, the air stayed in the gun like I thought it should, but now it drains everytime I take the bottle off.

    DNT Optics ThermNight TNC225R

    My honest opinion of this scope: If you are knowingly buying this scope as having the 1024x768 display, and your main use is as a night scope, you will likely be happy with it. Personally, I was wanting it for a day and night scope, as I have the Zulus, and the Zulus with the 1920x1080...

    DNT Optics ThermNight TNC225R

    If this was a thermal only scope, and if the website properly advertised this as having a 1024x768 display (website clearly had 1920x1080 prior to today), it might be acceptable. But this is a "combo" scope with both thermal and regular night vision. I can't speak for everyone, but when the...

    DNT Optics ThermNight TNC225R

    Received mine today. Am I the only one that has noticed that the website advertisement claims the display is 1920x1080 resolution, but the manual says 1024x768??? I'm hoping the manual is wrong as that is a big difference in resolution. I bought this assuming the clarity of the display would...

    3 Cheers for a proper buttpad!!!

    So where do we purchase this new found butt?
  16. R

    Sigh(t...) Should've done my research.

    Check out the Westhunter scopes on Amazon. They have a lot of choices at reasonable prices. You can get them with or without illumination, FFP or SFP, and different sizes. This is my favorite: WestHunter Optics WHT SFIR FFP Series Compact Competition Riflescope, 1/10 MIL First Focal Plane...

    Finally! I've hated that stock crappy plastic one that comes on the ghost...for the price charged for the ghost, it should have came with a better grip and butt.

    Discovery HD 2-12X24 SFIR FFP. A little experiment.

    I sure wish they had this in a SFP... my eyes struggle too much with these FFP recticles at low power.

    New Pard NV-S450CL thoughts?

    My thoughts exactly. I'm guessing that's probably why this scope only has a 2X digital zoom. Pointless to have more digital zoom with that display resolution in my opinion.

    New Pard NV-S450CL thoughts?

    New offering from Pard. I wonder how it will compare to the Zulus. I guess I'll find out later this week lol. https://pard.com/nv-sc4/#spec I like the round display idea, but a bit disappointed that it only has a 800x800 display... It looks to have some good recital options. This is one of...
