    Salt Bath Annealing Doesn't Work! by AMP

    Salt bath will not go away based on the current usage and in principle. Optimization would be a logical derivative of the shout out from AMP. AMP has pushed the optimization of the salt bath process. Always good to have different ways to skin a cat.

    Salt Bath Annealing Doesn't Work! by AMP

    If the information presented by AMP was accurate and not flawed in some way, I am surprised that we are not seeing online reports from Shooters expressing their negative findings. Heat transfer is a function of material, temperature and time.

    Vortex razor?

    I wouldn't recommend buying any of the 2011 Razor scopes based on the 3 scopes I had in my hands (the three had parallax creep (after setting) and could not have parallax completely reomoved. 2 of the 3 had contaminated interior/glass. Incidentally, the last hand picked one had all 3 problems...

    Premier reticules

    It really depends on the supplier. I generally purchase the product. If I feel it is a good product for my customers and my applications, I carry the product. It is costly. Unit price, time and write up.

    Vortex razor?

    I have a Razor I am testing now. Inital inspections concluded the parallax could not be set or elminated. Also the mechanism appears to have a rubber drag which causes it to creep. One interior lense is grossly contaminated and can easily be seen from viewing through the objective in bright...

    Premier reticules

    I have a 5-25x56 first focal plane here for evaluation. I hope the Premier gents are correct in saying their glass is as good or better then the Swarovski Z6 2.5-15x56 with FL - HD. If it is, it should be a winner. If not... not sure where to turn....
