[QUOTE="Guns & Glass, post: 17299, member: 1718"] [b]Re: 35 mm tube IOR\'s[/b] Suggest not reading between the lines. there aren't any hidden messages there, even if held up to a mirror. Didn't mention any name brand, but if your really in the industry, then the what I call, "Marketing to sell" trends of making larger objectives, and larger tubes is nothing new, but that still doesn't change the laws of physics, chemistry, and affect the 'law of diminishing returns. Facts, are just simply facts, cold, unemotional, unpolitical, and yes sometimes unpopular. First focal plane reticules GROW as the power is increased. That makes it easier to see BOTH,....the reticule, AND the target. It's much harder,and expensive to make 1st Focal's for many reasons. It is much, much, much more accurate to both Range, and use it as a Bullet Drop Compensator. Second focal's SHRINK as power increases. As power changes, second focals accuracy changes. Ergo the example of the IOR It's easy to get confused by some of the marketing language out there. As to the comment on Night Force, they set up a select supply channels years ago, and for the most part they are 'locked up'. They have nothing to prove anymore, as they have won more and more LR, and ULR shooting records than any other company. They have become the one company the others are now chasing, or trying to copy. Just check out the 50 BMG shooters, ULR varmiters, Air gun records, etc., against open weight classes. Better yet, take one out during the day, AND night. You'll be amazed as I was years ago.
