Huskemaw?

re: Huskemaw?

I just received my Huskemaw and plan on giving it a try. I own Leupold Mark 4's and Nightforce scopes. I am hard pressed to see a noticeable difference in clarity between any of them. The Huskemaw has optical color comparable to the Nightforce. My Leupolds all seem to have a brighter color. The finish and workmanship is comparable. There is no fuzziness or distortion at all with my Huskemaw I bought the Huskemaw because it has several attractive features that I wish the others had. If it proves reliable, and works in the field as claimed, it will have been a great investment.

Good post. Once you have used it a while let us know what you think. I'm very interested

Answer to Topbrass: The features I found appealing on the Husky were:

-Reticle features with windage and versatile ranging, good reticle thickness, very clean, and fast.
-Third minute clicks so I can get up to 800+
yards in one revolution
-Yardage on the parallax adjustment knob if you have no time for fine tuning and need a quick setting.
-Zero stop: big bucks for a Nightforce with this feature
-Excellent turret design, and, I can see the numbers on the turret in low light, or in a blind.

I hate to sound like an ad for these guys but it is clear this scope was designed by people that do a lot of long range hunting. It seems that I am always pressed for time to get set up for my long shots(mulies and whitetails in Alberta). The capabilities of this scope look like they could really help me there. I have been using Mark 4's and Nightforce scopes for a long time and have full faith in them. This was a tough decision. But as I said in my last post, so far , so good. If the Husky proves itself in the field, it will be favored.
 
re: Huskemaw?

Ok bit the bullet should have a huskemaw in about a week . I have Leopold and Nikon's ( I get the feeling no one likes nikon ) so if the glass is as clear as those thats good . I'm not going to say anything till I send in my info and get the turret for it but if it works and I can get the right info for the turret then it is a hit. got the new shooting chrony and a 600 yard rang . if I can get is set up with this I'm happy.. but I'm also ordering the greybull precision scope becuse I can get it in silver . it will take 3 months for the greybull precision scope so then I will be albil to comepair the two

So am I correct in assuming the only reason why you chose this over the GreyBull is the 5-20x then? That seems to be the general consensus around is all.
 
To be truthful I have never even seen a Huskamaw scope in person. I do see some misunderstanding about Japanese glass not being very good and I know it can be quite good especially if it is from Light Optical Works, which the glass in the Huskamaw scopes are.

That being said, big deal! Glass clarity should rate low in priority compared to rugged design, repeatability of the turrets, reticle design, etc.

It is common for novices to make a big deal about glass clarity. It is also common for novices to like Huskamaw scopes for the reasons as has been stated here in this forum. It makes hitting targets easier for most beginners most of the time. Beginners are not concerned with changes in altitude, pressure density, etc., and this scope suits their simple needs. 90% +/- reliability for the scope is acceptable for many novice shooters.
BTW, the obviously novice BOTW hunters constantly claim that the super shot they made could not have been made with anything other than the BOTW rifle/scope system they used. Give me a break, please.

Also, BDC turrets are not exclusive to Huskamaw scopes. They can be purchased online for most scope models quite easily. This could make your Burris FF2 freaking awesome too!

As Len B. says, once you get to a certain level of optical clarity the rest is overkill and the Huskamaw and many other scope brands meet or exceed that criteria easily.

So IMO, the best thing about Huskamaw scopes is their marketing and how they can get novices to believe they are something special.

I am no novice, and to say clarity is no big deal is a purely ignorant statement.

Clarity rates in the top two of my list.

Carry on!
 
The next time I get a hit to come look at one of my favorite forums; I DON'T want to find two men that have more in common than they can imagine measuring their ego's against one another and wasting time I could be learning from either and old hand that has made all the mistakes I don't want to OR a new guy with enough energy to research the real specs , operating systems (parallax adj, focus tech while wearing glasses, ranging with different parts of the reticle,) etc. and teach me something useful. IF you want to argue, go find a tree huggin' gun control idiot that thinks nothing is worth fighting for and lets men stronger and tougher than himself protect him and his family...probably like either or both of you. Now put that anger to energy and teach this ole Texan somethin' good that only you know.

Yes, 20x was one factor. I'll use the rig to compete in Hunter class egg shoots during the summer.....great work out and a good test for the scope. 20x is needed for the longer ranges shooting eggs. Otherwise, the Greybull looked quite comparable. I really like Leupold scopes but would still put a target turret VX series through a rigorous test on my rig. I have had some tracking issues in the past with a couple of my VX target turret scopes. Never had an issue with my Mark 4's.

well than the huskemaw must not be on the top of your list as there is much better glass to be had.


I would have to say jeffersonv hit the nail right on the head with all his comments. Sometimes the truth is not what people want to hear.
