Re: Leica Bino\'s Sledge, I would like to talk to you about your binos, if you post your email address I will contact you. Thank you.

I would be interested in one of the following: the Zeiss 7x42 FL or 8x42FL, Swarovski 8.5x42 EL, or the Leica 8x42 Ultravid or Leica 8x42 BRF (range finding binocular). Please PM me and leave a 'message sent' post with condition, price and what's included. I would prefer obviously something in...

I did a search on the pros/cons of FFP vs. SFP on this site and one very good point that was made against 2nd focal plane reticles is that in low light at low magnification you won't be able to see the reticle (see Pete Lincoln's post here...

In October of last year I started to look for a Swarovski spotting scope on ebay and in the search box I put "Swarovski scope" and I would ALMOST ALWAYS get one or several listings back that are highlighted in purple or surrounded in purple in the search results I contacted ebay's fraud...

Re: Ultra highend optics: Schmidt Bender vs. others and some perspecti I would like to point out something that isn't subjective and that is the following US Dollar/Euro exchange rates for the date of April 3, 2006 back each year on the same date back to 1999, as follows: One US Dollar buys...

Re: Ultra highend optics: Schmidt Bender vs. others and some perspecti Pete, I appreciate you taking the time to answer all of the questions, you certainly have much experience, certainly more than the typical clerk in a sporting goods store. I plan to follow through and buy one S&B scope...

Re: Ultra highend optics: Schmidt Bender vs. others and some perspecti [ QUOTE ] When I started shooting back in the 70's my equipment selection "criteria" was tied directly to my pocket book. However, I was never mad at folks who had the dime to spend, and never faulted them for their ability...

Re: Ultra highend optics: Schmidt Bender vs. others and some perspecti I have been fortunate to own some highend telescopes. I owned a Astro-physics 155mm F/7 oil spaced triplet apochromatic refractor up to a couple of weeks ago. In the world of telescopes Astro-physics has an almost cult...

I wanted to make a couple of comments as there are many people I'm guessing like myself who post little, but read a lot of the posts of others. So the comments that are made by a few can have an impact on many who never post. On any given area of interest or hobby there are those who are in the...

Bart, I really appreciate your reply and your analogy with the speedometer it clarifies much. What I would like clarification on, is a 'Parallax equipped scope' for someone who doesn't trust their ability to use their aiming eye to center in the scope’s optical axis? If you look at S&B line...

I recently saw a PMII 3-12x50 for sale that had no parallax adjustment and it was stated it was calibrated for shots out to 300yds. So does this mean beyond 300yds that the scope wouldn't perform well? At what distances would the scope absolutely become impaired for use without the parallax...

I have been away from hunting for quite a while and before I get into the questions, I would like to tell a story. I'm in my early 40's and in 1979 while in high school (here in the US) I bought a Steyr-Mannlicher Luxus w/half stock with single set trigger in 270 with the slick Steyr QD rings...
