Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but how do you get a quality picture using a digital camera through the scope? Best i could get up to now was like a film negative.

The problem is generally the eyerelief and alignment- here's one I did for a quick test published later on a mates website through the lens of a PremReticles S&B/Leupold hybrid. I did this by hand but really you need to use tripods - And a MACRO facility is a MUST to focus on the ocular focal plane.

Um, I don't mean to hijack this topic but why does that scope have two turrets on top? Could we get a picture of the scope? Am I once again unaware of a cool shooting accessory that needs to go on my "If I win the lottery." list?

It's a "running boar" scope.

The fine wire and dot are fixed and used to sight in as per normal using OTHER turrets in the normal position. The other turrets control those thicker circles/wires independantly - its for lead in etc.

Was made by Premier reticles but no longer available. Its a Luepy with a Schmidt&Bender Objective lens.

Thanks. Rather interesting.

I will now yield the remainder of this thread to the gentleman in Madrid.
