So the "wannabes" should get SFP, the non-wannabes should get FFP? Or visa versa? What exactly does that mean? I'm not sure what you expect meaningless insults to add to the conversation. You do realize there are many out there that say the exact same thing about long range hunters, right...

You responded to this point yourself: FFP or SFP, selecting a good reticle for your application is key. The FFP scopes I use for hunting, since I also hunt with them in the thick brush until dark occasionally, are very easy to see on low powers in low light (even without illumination)...

You're certainly free to enter a tactical competition sometime...a guy that never misses is sure to impress. If you're shooting at a paper target with enough magnification you can actually see the lines on the target with which to measure your holdoff in inches, that is a very precise method...

Hi guys, Sorry I haven't been able to keep up with all the boards. Yes, I do have ATACR caps ready for order, they should start shipping in a couple weeks: As for whether these are worth the price, obviously that can only be answered by the end user. I'd encourage people to read through...

Thanks! I'll get some prototypes made up. Anybody got an ATACR handy? I'm guessing the objective may be the same but I believe it has a larger eyepiece.

Hey guys, I know there are a lot of NF users here so hopefully somebody can help me out so I can make some flip-ups for these things. I'm looking for the outside diameters of both the objective bells and the eyepieces of the NSX's, 50mm and 56mm & ATACR to start out with but if you have a...

OK, I’ve spent some time now comparing glass on this thing and now I’m even more impressed. Lots of people were asking how it is compared with the SS 3-9: With both set on 9X, the 3-15 has noticeably better resolution than my 3-9. It’s a pretty noticeable difference. Now resolution isn’t...

His math is fine. That calculator is deceptive--it's not taking into account the scope's adjustments being canted with respect to gravity, only the horizontal offset of the scope (not being directly above the bore). The errors from the latter are negligible in the real world, the errors from...

The 6-24 PST is one of my favorite scopes in this price range. I’ve had two 4-16’s that went down the road but I still have the 6-24. A large part of the reason for that is the glass in my 6-24 was dramatically better than the 4-16’s. For mainly LR use, the better glass and higher...

OK, for those who haven't seen it elsewhere, here's my writeup on this scope: So many people have been asking me about this scope, so here's a couple short notes as I haven't had a chance to spend too much time with it yet. But here are my impressions so far: First the important stuff...

That's an excellent question. Coyotes are not big game animals. Apples and oranges. Difficult, low percentage—even “hope” or “hail Mary” shots at coyotes won’t raise too many eyebrows. If you hit, you hit, if you miss, you miss. So most people aren’t going to say a whole lot if you take a...

If that's the case, who? There are 40,000 members here, many have expressed their preference for FFP scopes in this section. Who uses them to hunt big game at long range without a LRF? You said most of them do that. I'll stand by my statement that the actual number who fit your description...

Very true, but as has been mentioned, this question has been asked. Over and over again. If you put "focal" into the search function you'll find a whole bunch of threads that will give you hours of good reading material. Asking for those threads to be repeated every other week is not polite...

I'm using Avery Label Paper in full sheets, I cut them out with a scissors. I sandwich them between layers of 3M packaging tape--the underneath layer so you can remove it from the turret without making a gooey mess, the top layer to make them water resistant (and it overlaps the junction so...

That's apples and oranges. Have you ever used a scope with 10 Mils per turn? You have to actually use these things to know what you're talking about. First, hunting at the ranges you're talking about, you would never turn it more than a full turn. Second, if some prankster did spin it a...
