Have used them, installed them, and happily sell them. Recently got a set for a Sako TRGS in 338 Laupa, with a Night Force. Optilock rings are a great design, extremely strong, and eliminate any tube stress. A smart take off of a pillow block bearing. Burris orginally came out with the first...

Have a couple Kowa T822, and 60's NIB. Email me if interested: [email protected]

Re: 35 mm tube IOR\'s There isn't anything crazy about the accuracy difference between 1st & 2nd focal planes. It exists due to optical design, construction limitations, and manufacturing capabilities. It pertains to variables, but not fixed powers for the most part. Think about the...

Yellow glasses, no, not the exact same color results, but it will sharpen things on hazy, cloudy days. If you have a problem with color,..color blindness, Predator will help with shapes. Personally opt for broad spectrum coatings on quality binocs, and depending on the "days color" or where...

Steiners themselves are good optics. Predator coating is specialized in blocking some of the Primary colors, (blue & green) light wavelengths. That enhances the other Primary color, Red which makes it stand out more. Remember in science class, "Roy G Biv"? Now since the color brown has red in...

Re: 35 mm tube IOR\'s Confess I don't know how to put pix that show scope interiors, drawings, and reticles on this site. Go to Schmidt & Bender home site. Click on 'Details'. There is a great set of comparison pix of both planes. Will try to answer following your paragraph-sentences. Have...

Re: 35 mm tube IOR\'s Brent, Do you have an owners manual for your NF? Do you have the special sheets (not part of the manual) made to explain the RR, and R2? If not I'll email then to you. Your post on 11/22 @ 4;45 "My reticle does NOT change with any power change peroid. Every place I've...

Re: 35 mm tube IOR\'s It's only confusing because somehow, somewhere you, and others have received wrong information. Magnification of the reticule can be done at two places. In the front, which is referred to as the First Focal Plane. In the rear at the occular assembly, which is referred to...

Re: 35 mm tube IOR\'s Night Force are set at the 1st Focal Plane, either 15X, or 22X. You CAN easily use any other power, but the factoring changes, is still as accurate, but like any other scope maker will require some calculations. 22X is used on all 22X, 32X, or 42X because many long range...

Re: 35 mm tube IOR\'s 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...

Re: 35 mm tube IOR\'s Just some update info on the Night Force specs, and general comments. All NP R2, RR, DD' are in the more desirable first focal plane. They are all factored @ 22x, except for the 3.5-15x50, and 3.5-15x56. First focal place recticles are much more accurate for both...

Actually both,....if the scope is adjusted properly. Sadly, most shooters don't either know how, or do it correctly.

A newbie to the 'Board', and read with interest this subject. Just wanted to throw in some info adressing situations/specs, then the Burris product. Limited adjustment range-in this case 22" on a 1" tube. That's a good thing for a designer to do. There are optical performance limitations on all...
