AimSports Alpha6 Long Term Review

Jump to latest Follow Reply
Ya, the teeth don’t line up with zero marks. But I didn’t even pop the cap to return the marking after sighting in. Guess that shows I really don’t turn the knobs.

My only gripe is that we can only accurately use the reticle at 10X on a 27x scope. Granted for the quality of the glass even as a 10X fix scope it's actually pretty inexpensive and you can always zoom in to take a better look and zoom out to shoot.

If your holdover was 1 mil at 10x then it's 2 mils at 20x or 2.7 mils at 27x. Not really that hard to calculate. It's just like any other SFP scope.

actually you have it the other way around. This is the problem with high magnification on a SFP scope. Most scope has 6-8 mils on the reticle so that mean if you zoom to 20x you are only getting 3-4 Mils which isn’t enough even at 1000fps at 100 yards. 



If you get the ELEMNT helix that has a clever design of true to scale reticle at 24x and that means @ 12x every Mil is 2 mils which is VERY usable! I really like the element helix! Very well thought out!

What are you smoking? Try it and see. And if you read the 2nd part of your post you actually agree with me. 6-8 mils (the distance on the reticle) at 10x is the same as 3-4mils at 20x. If your reticle stays the same size as you zoom, and your target gets twice as big, your holdover now also gets twice as big. This means you have to holdover TWICE as much. If you were holding over 1 mil, then you now have to hold over 2 mils.

Do you believe Strelok?

Here's a 80yd holdover at 10x - 9 mils

Now the same 80yds at 20x - is it 4.5 mils, as you say? Or 18 mils?

I wish my Midas TAC was a SFP to at least make it real world useable to actually see the reticle from 6x-10x instead of only 10x-24x especially for hunting for quick shots.. At least the A6 doesn't have the yellow glass typical of Chinese scopes and the reticle doesn't disappear at low magnification due to itit not being a FFP.

——————————————————-

I’ll trade a brand new A6 for your used Midas TAC. In fact, as many as you have, one for one. Thanks.

That was a REALLY good one thanks!!! It would need to be 3 Alpha6 scopes to have a realistic price trade based on today's prices. 😆

LOL, DUDE! you are saying the same thing as me just differently. If the reticle is true to scale at 10x then at 20x every mil on the reticle becomes .5 mil and if the reticle shows 8 miles it's really just 4 mil. In your screen shots the distance halved for the same mil marks when you zoomed from 10x to 20x, your target doubled in drop or distance from center cross hair. Like the great YOda said we need to learn the drop in distance and not 100% reliant on strelok/chairgun which eliminates the argument on which way math goes, they are great learning tools and gives a huge jump start though.

OK, so when I said.....................

" If your holdover was 1 mil at 10x then it's 2 mils at 20x or 2.7 mils at 27x. Not really that hard to calculate. It's just like any other SFP scope. "

and you said..............................

" actually you have it the other way around"



How is that the SAME thing? If I WAS correct, and you are now agreeing with me, why did you post?

Let us know if you hear anything from the ebay seller. I was going to wait today and then tomorrow try and get ahold of them to see if they would refund me and then I can order from somewhere else. Did they have free shipping from there?
