[QUOTE="orkan, post: 1935766, member: 25377"] I love seeing kywindage flag himself as massively inexperienced the way he does. His last paragraph is solid gold. It outs him as just another inexperienced SFP shooter that hasn't a clue what FFP is about. Once upon a time, I'd be worried about some poor new guy listening to what he's posted. These days, literally everyone knows better. All it does is reveal to everyone that he just doesn't have enough experience. Yet in typical forum fashion, that won't stop him from making post after post about anything that passes through his mind. The guy probably hasn't even touched a tangent theta. lol 🤣 You'll notice I'm not engaging him directly anymore... and that's because the only way to deal with impossibly unreasonable people is to ignore them. Don't be conned into thinking some other scope on the market is "just as good" for half the money. ;) The world simply doesn't work like that. Lots of good scopes out there that present a great value, but only one "best." The GenIIXR reticle in the TT 5-25 covers less than a tenth of an inch of linear space at 100yds. Guess that blows the "big giant fat thick too thick to use reticle" argument out of the water. Here's some proof for those of you that aren't at the peak of Mount Stupid on the Dunning-Kruger graph. It's a given that iphone pictures through a scope do not even come close to the actual viewing quality. This antelope is bed down at 625yds. Here's a look through a TT315M w/Gen2XR at 15x [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/3hPeLzRh.jpg[/IMG] Here's that same antelope through a TT525P w/Gen2XR at 25x. I would have no problem quartering her eyeball with that reticle. I have no problem quartering prairie dogs at 1200yds with it either. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/idLAvzzh.jpg[/IMG] As for the "ball of twine" at low magnification while scanning argument... well here's a 315M at 6x magnification. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/HbAo37rh.jpg[/IMG] The moral of the story is, if you can't get the shot made on paper, or in the field, with a TT... you should probably find a new sport. Maybe give competitive basket weaving a try. [/QUOTE]
