I have been using a 3-12 for 3 years now. seen thousands of miles of nevada backroads bounced and banged all over. So far its been great. it tracked exactly when I put it in my scope testing fixture. the adjustments are actually 1/10th mil BTW not 1/3 MOA, its really all the scope a long...

I focus on fit rather than how high the scope is off the barrel. I want to throw the gun up to my shoulder and have a perfect view through the scope. this typically means I prefer my scopes slightly higher than a lot of people set theirs too. its ok. for instance I prefer my AR15 scopes about...

probably not going to see it. Too many people think if its not FFP its junk and unusable. FFP scopes are NOT hunting scopes. We need some sort of official proclamation on scopes being designed to be optimal for certain uses. The seal team 6 crowd mocks SFP

I think the sig scopes are phillipene built. the zeiss v4 is japan. I trust japan way more.

I have not owned a v6, BUT I have looked at one quite a bit. I don't like the tunneling and edge to edge view that the v6 offers. I prefer the v4 optical formula better.

I think the 4-16 is all you need for long range hunting. IMO its really all you need for field type shooting. if you want to target shoot or colony varmint hunt that is the only way I get more scope power. my husky 3-12 has been steller, I have also been using a zeiss v4 4-16, its tracked...

I use this if I can, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00W8AXZ98/?tag=lrhmag19-20

this scope tracks excellent when static tested according to my testing. see my review below. more to come with actual shooting.

if you only shoot at the gun range you wouldn’t know. I hunt public lands in The west.

this doesn't surprise me. look I just try to keep it all interesting around here. there is a saying that consensus isn't science. the bottom line with everything I have tried to say is that there should be distinct differences in range/competition scopes, vs hunting scopes. There are...

mils relates to metric because its base 10 measurements, also 1 meter is closer to one mil. did you guys forget all this? that is why its equated to the metric system. I make the point about mils, because for some reason many people that advocate its useage are claiming to be so much...

its funny you make that assumption, I have 2 NXS 3.5-15's with MOAR reticles. I just bought a ziess v4 with MOA 2 reticle, I also have a huskemaw 3-12 The closet thing to generic is mil dot, I have a nightforce compact and a nikon in mil dot. I use all these scopes for holding off for...

I didn't say spotting your shot isn't optimal, I say if I can see where I hit YES that is optimal. but I am saying that seeing said miss is of dramatically less value when hunting. ie animal runs off, or there are conditions which prevent seeing where the shot landed, which is likely hunting...

I am ranting? that is interesting. I use the hold offs for my initial shot if I am shooting far enough to dial. IE beyond 300 yards. that is way a plain crosshair is not what I am suggesting. although pdog hunting I just guess and think the wind is going blow my bullet off by such and such...

this is the problem with what the tactical crowd tries to preach. This is a long range hunting forum. not a tactical forum, and not a range shooting forum. In all these discussions I think we leave out specific uses of optics, range and tactical are a different use that is distinct from...
