At 7:30 point of this video Koshkin shows the ZCO MPCT1 reticle at low power, but it is the 5-27 model, not the 4-20

I would love to see a pict of the P5fl lit up on lower power with a shaded or dark background. Curious how well that center dot and the four lines surrounding it appear.

Unless you get a more functional F1 reticle like that in the Tangent Theta Long Range Hunter. That said, at 3x it is not large, but noticeable. Wonder how it will look with illumination on or with the reticle against the dark woods in the background? As with the P5fl, not my scope or photos...

Here is a picture of Schmidt and Bender's P5Fl reticle at 300m, on a 6-36x56. First one is at 6x and the other at 36x. Not my scope or picts, but I like the reticle. Too bad it didn't have dark outer lines that would serve as a duplex at 6x. As is, it is a target reticle for sure.

I always wondered about this. Let's say we had two scopes of generally the same construction, e.g. the Schmidt and Bender Exos, 3-20x50 and 1-8x24. If you kept both on 3x, thus exceeding the maximum human eye pupil diameter of 7mm, would the brightness be the same between both scopes? If so, a...

I’ve read horror stories on this and other forums about all the major carriers and their failure to cover insurance claims. I’ve decided not to insure any of my packages, but thankfully my firearm insurance covers losses due to shipping. Those that don’t have firearm insurance should consider...

I'll summarize what I have found from reading threads like this in many forums. Skip the buckshot and use slugs. Of the slugs, the most commonly mentioned are the Brenneke Black Magic Magnum or Classic Magnum. Occasionally someone mentions the law enforcement Special Forces slug from Brenneke as...

I like the New York Times and Washington Post, but I'm a gun loving, centrist and appreciate the quality of their writing. If you are libertarian leaning, Reason.com is good.

As a follow-up comment, I read on another forum about John Linebaugh and his response to what he would do if a grizzly charged. Not sure this was accurately reported, but I find it funny anyway: One time at a shoot a guy asked John Linebaugh how he'd deal with a situation where he heard the...

Here's a really great story of a pastor/hunter in Montana that killed a 400 lb grizzly with a 10mm. Not sure if it has been posted before. Although he killed it before it killed him, the 10mm doesn't really inspire confidence. It is a long video (55 minute interview), but really fascinating to...

FOUND: Cooper Jackson Game I have found a rifle. Thanks all.

Looking for a Cooper Jackson Game or Jackson Hunter in 260 Remington (preferred) or 308. I want some nice figure in the wood, something better than normal, but not exhibition grade. Also would consider a Jackson Hunter with a tan stock and black webbing.
