[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 655060, member: 5302"] Without knowing what Sightron's tech understands about scope adjustments, it's not fair to say he was lying. That infers you know he knows all the technical details of scope adjustments and optical specs but intentionally said something he knows is not true. For all I know, he may be ignorant about all of this and just replied as his job requirements called for. I don't think you've any real knowledge of exactly what he does and does not know about scope adjustments. . . .unless you've been (or hired someone to do so) directly monitoring him in his professional environment. There is a way to get that scope closer to the inches per hundred yards as stated in its specs. The easiest way to change how much one click changes the scope's axis is to replace all the optics forming the target image in the adjustment plane. Lens makers have tools to easily measure a lens' focal length to extreme accuracy. Longer focal lengths make the image larger and that makes the adjustment move less per click across a given point on the target. Shorter total focal lengths make that image smaller and the reticule moves further across a given point on the target per click. Same thing happens with field of view through a given hole size in the scope; high magnifications with longer focal lengths reduce the field of view; low magnifications with shorter focal lengths increase the field of view. We don't know if Sightron will do this, but they could. [/QUOTE]
