    HELP...scope keeps slipping in 338E

    Once you solve the slipping problem , you may encounter another problem , as the scope no longer slips ( this reduces the shock to the scope ) , you will start to pound scopes into pieces , and you may find , you have to buy better scopes .

    Hensoldt 3-12x56 SSG-P

    yeap , interesting scope to be sure . I really like the indicated E setting , and I find it surprising that it has not been copied . But like most others , I dislike the limited amount of E , and the very high bore height .

    1st Focal Plane Reticle

    What is the best scope on the market PERIOD?

    Like all things , picking a scope is a compromise , you need to pick the model that comes closet to want you want in a scope , and how you will use it . For me , I like to keep things as simple and error proof as I can , so for Tac & field shooting , I tend to favour Mil/Mil FFP scopes in the...
