BOGA Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 What tint is good for bright days and which one for over cast or indoor shooting thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckbradley Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 I use the fire lense for sunny days and even bright overcast days. For darker days I use a clear mostly, sometimes a persimmon/amber type lense. We talked about this issue today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mlmiller1 Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 I bought the gold iridium lens for bright days. I searched the oakley website until I found a lens with a lot of contrast but still didn't allow a lot of light transmission. It works well for me. I also got a lens for darker days, can't remember the name but it is somewhere between orange & rose colored. It isn't one of the iridium lenses. It works well in almost any outdoors situation unless it is just really overcast, then a clear lens is what I use. I would like to try the persimmon & see how the contrast is. I bought my oakley's through work so I don't have any suggestions for stores to buy from. I will say my iridium lens has taken two good solid hits from bullet splashback off steel & has no evidence whatsoever. There are other good lenses & I would probably buy them if I had to pay oakley's full price. The rudy project lenses seem to be pretty popular with a decent price.

We talked with an Oakley Rep yesterday. Anybody who discounts off the MSRP gets yanked. So all dealers will have the same price. If you can deal with used ones from an individual you might save a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Bond Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 Clear indoors and outdoors i use gray. but rudy project. I used Oakley for years but once I tried on a pair of Rudy Project glasses, I was sold. Better glass, certified rather than implied protection, and a ton more comfort. For older shooters, you can also mount your corrective lens in Rudy and still change lenses. If you have Oakely, you have to mail in your lens and they glue the corrective lens to the shade lens of your choice so that gets plenty expensive if you want more than one. Your milage may vary but before anyone sinks this kind of money in glasses, you need to try a pair of Rudy. Charles Bond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxshooter Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 When I was shooting sporting clays I was sponsored by Oakley. I think thier glasses are very good for shotgunning, contrast with orange or black targets against clouds or blue sky was excellent and ok for treed backgrounds. For rifle and pistol shooting I much prefer Rudy Project with the red racing lens. It works very well on real bright days as well as overcast. If it is reaaly dark or indoors I use the Rudy clear lens. If you break, scratch or other wise damage the Rudy lens they will replace it no questions asked for $20.00.

syme71 Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 What tint is good for bright days and which one for over cast or indoor shootingthanks I've found VR28 to cover a wide range of conditions. Compared to "gray" lenses, I find the brown color helps with shadow contrast. I have a bunch of M frame lenses in different tints and I always ended up just using Vr28, clear and Black Iridium. Clear for indoors (and reloading), black for really bright days shooting at a range where the reflection off the sand covered shooting pit is intense. YMMV.

Derek45 Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 (edited) Clear VR28 Dark Gray VR28's probably get used the most. Edited September 8, 2007 by Derek45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien Boit Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 (edited) VR 28 is a good all around lense for outdoor use, I've used Oakley for years and a clear (white) lense and a VR28 cover most of the common use.
