What was the price on these new scopes? And is there any price difference on moa vs mil? I probably missed it early on.

You ever hear the ole saying…..an arm and a leg. lol.

Problem with TTs and ZCO is the small numbers on the turrets as we get older and low light makes it difficult. Kahles has nice large numbers and the elevation pop up to remind us to turn back after dial up.

2nd focal plane

I get first focal for all the PRS, NRL , and target but does everybody walk around hunting with there scope on 10-12 power so they can see the reticle and hashes. I have 3 ff scopes and that's about where they need set to see. I also get the hashes being right at all powers with FFP but if I need the hashes I'm going to be on the upper power with SFP. The one thing I can think of is to spot and measure miss at a lower power setting for target shooting, because must likely in a hunting scenario your only getting one try. Also measuring at distance with the reticle if for some reason the highest power setting is to much for the target or situation at the time but those would be very rare occasion in a hunting situation.

MK machining makes a magnifier for turrets. Never used it but I'm sure it's handy for older eyes.

I've got one on a 4-32 NX8. Looks a little goofy and sticks up kinda high for that turret but it is visible now.

These work great.

One more thing to catch or cause an issue, they should make a better design

If you have a 3-15×50 FFP scope, amd are hunting on 3x...you probably don't need to see the subtensions anyway.

I've never been close to obstructed by low power on ffp. This is Huntin central Alabama at very dusk. If I'm on 3x it's not this far and I certainly don't need subtrnsions
