Klee, I would be very interested in what your friend has to say. The trade-off element is what I'd like to understand. That was a good insight. I wonder what the other trade-offs are. The shallow depth of field is exactly what the air gun guys are looking for since they try to range to...

I think my point is being made by the general lack of real information. Here is a link to one test done on OpticsTalk The Optics Talk Forums - Multiple Rifle Scope tests from Europe..REAL TESTS I don't think this was one mentioned earlier. Ross

I'd be interested in seeing the tests you mentioned. The ones I have seen are several years old and Hendsoldt came out on top. Possibly I should start a new thread since I'm really more interested in the testing element. Ross

I'd like to re-energize this thread to keep it going. I have never understood why nobody does any resolution tests on scopes to finally put to rest all the speculation, conjecture and posturing. This is really a question to those of you who might know, e.g. any resident optical engineers...

Would there be fewer words if I dropped the price to $4100??? This is a good opportunity. Ross, The Tempter

This scope is more clear than nearly any spotting scope.

Leave your spotting scope at home - no really.

Yup, the real deal for extreme long range. Here is the detail from USO: SN9-4200 • Base price $3900 • ERGO - Standard Option • 80mm - ERGO Upgrade - 800.00 • U.S. #2 - Standard Option • U.S. #2 - Standard Option • 30mm - Standard Option • Matte Black Type III Hard Anodizing -...

Enter Me In The US Optics Spotting Scope Contest

Brand new, never mounted, never used! Direct from IOR, so it is the newest version of their high end scope. It has beautiful glass and the illuminated MP8 reticule. I'll include their set of tactical rings that are cera-coated in pewter. IOR price $1795, yours for $1495 shipped. +3% for...

Thank you Chad, that was exactly the info I was looking for. I also have old but quality machines, e.g. 10EE and Gorton Millmaster so 0.001 is attainable. I start tomorrow. Best, Ross

I'm going for ultimate accuracy, like benchrest shooters. So, 0.0005 is helpful as a start. Is there a measurement beside runout that describes how much over reamer size is considered benchrest quality? Oh, and thanks for replying, it seems very difficult to get this data. Ross

It appears that few to nobody wants to commit to answering a question about what is considered a "perfect" or optimum chambering job. So, specifically what is OK runout and what is perfect runout? How much over the actual reamer size is considered good. Clearly GO-noGo gauges determine...

Quickload lets me run this at 4400f/s - what would that do to a prairie dog? Ross Still at $1150 - Only Accurate Rifles Are Interesting!

How about a price drop to $1150!!
