TonytheTiger Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Excellent, that's what I figured on buying when I get around to purchasing this scope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airborne101 Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 You should check out this optic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonytheTiger Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Who are you talking to? I'm already planning on buying it and for some reason I feel like the only other person on here even remotely interested in this optic. I really thought they would catch on alot quicker.

airborne101 Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 I'm talking to everyone trying to spark some interest in this optic not sure why not more interest I'm loving it and know 7 other guys locally that are running it that feal the same way.this is 1-6 is a quality optic at the price of a 1-4 you can't beat it.

TonytheTiger Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Hopefully it starts getting some press here soon, I'd hate to see the only scope with such a well thought out reticle fail because the brand name doesn't start with an L,V,B... etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Diss Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Is the reviewers observation of POI shift with magnification change something others have seen too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airborne101 Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 This is a second focal plain scope and a shift in point of aim point of impact is comon but the retinal is designed to take care of that it has 2 aiming points one for 6x and one for 1x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I'm thinking about ordering one for the truck gun I'm working on. Would you mind shooting me a pm with price and ordering info? Seems like the perfect optic for can inexpensive 14.5 mid length build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airborne101 Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 (edited) Do a little research it is common in in a lot of second focal plane scopes the reticle is designed to take care of it. We are talking about a budget scope that can be had in the $500 price range not everyone has $1000 plus for a scope.

We are talking about a budget scope that can be had in the $500 price range not everyone has $1000 plus for a scope. What you're describing is a defect. The reticle doesn't "take care of it" - using whatever reticle point you want, by your account the POA/POI shift still exists when changing magnification. A 4 moa shift is not insignificant. I haven't used one of these scopes - my comments are based on the linked review on the first page of this thread, and the things you've written. I'd be interested to try one, but the scope's POA/POI shift isn't a comforting thought and there are other options in the (very competitive) optics market.

airborne101 Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 I have been running this scope for a while now with no issue like I have said this scope dose have a shift with magnification but if you use the reticle the way it is described in the review on the first page and by the direction provided it is not an issue. The reticle has a diamond in the center the top point of the diamond is what you use on 6x and the center of the diamond is what you use for 1x and you will have poa poi at both magnification.

We are talking about a budget scope that can be had in the $500 price range not everyone has $1000 plus for a scope.It may be common in crap optics but not in quality optics. Run far away from any maker who's says it's common. Also having to remember to hold with different parts of the reticle is challenging enough on long range stages. It's a disaster waiting to happen if you have to remember where to hold as you change the power ring too. Sorry this sounds like a bad scope to me based on what you have said.

dhunt91 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I dont know what this guy is say but I Personally seen this so called shift. Shot it in my first match today and no matter what power i had it on it hit what i was aiming at. From 25 yard paper out to 300 yard steel and 100 yard small plate racks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From 25 yard paper out to 300 yard steel and 100 yard small plate racks How big were the targets and have you done any group testing on paper. If your shooting a 20 moa target your not going to notice a 4 moa shift. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stlhead Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Magnification is the problem, not the solution. If you leave the scope at 1x there is no shift. Better yet take the scope off and shoot irons, or a 1x optic. Cast off the shackles of magnification and embrace the freedom that 1x provides. You already shoot your shotgun and your rifle without the Satanic curse of magnification, let your rifle join in blessed field of view and eye relief. Magnification is a false profit, constantly seeking a larger image is a waste of glass that could be used to hold beverages. Trigger control is the the one true secret to hitting your target. Spend your time getting into a good position instead of twisting a cat tail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
