    Scope tube and scope base ???

    So far every scope I've dismantled has basically the same innards independent of outer tube (for a given manufacturer). Most GOOD scope builders (USO, S&B etc) will tell you the big tube is for MOVEMENT.

    Sako Rings?

    OK here's one -an extreme one used to deliberately OVER compensate - it's about 100MOA! SAKO RINGS - see that inner ring which self centres? Prototyping - see the rear washers/shims? These using a custom base for a special "benchrest" airgun - but the Sako bases bolt onto their rings - all...

    Sako Rings?

    Get a set of SAKO OPTILOCK rings and put a small shim at the rear (twixt ring and base) - The Integrated swivel inserts do the rest - I've done one with WAY over 60MOA this way.

    Barska scopes

    The Barska however permits looking at Rosie and believing it's Maria!

    Schoenfeld Scopes, are they any good?

    No 1st hand experience. But:- They look VERY Hakko-ish. Infact the spec's being bandied about (geared zoom) suggest they are rebadged HAKKO. SFP reticles. HAKKO went bust - so this is somebody now building using HAKKO designs. I doubt very much if they're built in Germany at that price too...

    Scope Come ups and REPEATABILITY

    Interesting - like to see other shots of the guts. Bullet missed all glass.

    Scope Come ups and REPEATABILITY

    IOR's are my choice where I cannot justify an S&B. I have a 3-18*42SFP and it's excellent. Repeatable. It's correct at 10mag. Also have a 3-18*42FFP sat at the Post Office for collection Monday.

    Scope Come ups and REPEATABILITY

    Never had NF but from reputation - They're fine. S&B are from reputation and personal experience exemplary. You're safe - fret ye not!

    IOR SCOPES

    OK I have 4 IOR and another on its way. IOR is what I now choose for applications where I cant justify an S&B PM2 1) IOR use Schott Glass - as used by USOptics and others - The coatings were (I'm unsure what the current stand is) Zeiss Tessar (these were originally Camera lens coatings and...

    IOR Valdada 2.5 - 10X Scope, 30mm, 42mm

    THERE IS A First Focal Plane model with the clicks in MILS! - It's what I have! Also has a lit reticle (red) which makes the reticle more usable at low mag esp in the woods. - Ask SWFA or Scott Berish at Liberty Optics (you can find him on Snipershide)

    Values of hash marks for MP8

    1) 1m at 1000m is EXACTLY 1/1000 of the radial distance or 1 mili-radian. 2) On an SFP scope the reticle/image relationship quoted is only valid at one power setting - calibrating distances at other mag settings is JUST maths. On IOR scopes this "true" value differs scope to scope. It's...

    IOR Valdada 2.5 - 10X Scope, 30mm, 42mm

    Love mine too. I'd agree - below 4 mag is pretty much useless - My eyes are also getting tired though!

    rings and base???

    I've tried & use both TPS (Steel Tactical) in 34mm and Seekins (6 screw) in 35mm. Would be happy with either. The Seekins rings have a feature you either like or dont. I DO. They offer a version without that BIG nut on the side. Glen (Seekins) also does rails - and offers various MOA versions...

    Scope rings for narrow rail

    Tom Posted in "rimfire" too - but I'd make a conversion rail and epoxy/bolt it onto the receiver. Brownels have P1913/Weaver and even 11mm(iirc) blanks - Any decent machine shop can mill a concentric slot in the base - I do this with Airguns a fair bit! Or give Glen Seekins a call - He's...

    Scope rings for narrow dovetail

    If I were you I'd get a conversion rail made up and fitted. I'd go to P1913.
