I've only had a chance to eye fuck one at a Cabelas and compare it to the other scopes they had out, so this is a pretty skimpy report, but I was pretty happy with the clarity of the glass and eye relief. To my eye the glass looked as good as a VX-3's.

 

[Big Stick]

Beano was talking about them yesterday and now I'm curious myself,as I've never gunned one.................

 

[RTA48]

posted question on a couple of different sites. not much response. Travis from the fire speaks highly. Think I am gonna try one to see what's up.

 

[Big Stick]

Spill your guts................

 

[RTA48]

will do! ordered yesterday, should be on Big Brown truck heading this way tomorrow.

 

[Big Stick]

Cool................

 

[RTA48]

it showed up. looks OK, I haven't slowed down enough to slap it on something and give it a whirl. Hoping Saturday is the day.

 

[Big Stick]

When you do,run the ele turret from stop to stop on paper,as I'd be curious to hear how it behaves,during the swing..................

 

[Thread Killer]

I've got a couple of them. The turrets run fine and there's plenty of Up in them. just prefer the M1 turret better.

 

[Thread Killer]

oh, and the 3.5-10 is my favorite..

 

[Big Stick]

Sounds promising.

Hear good things about M1's,myself................

 

[Thread Killer]

they ain't bad for the money but there's better to be had for a few sheckles more....

 

[Big Stick]

Pard just scooped one and we're gonna go air it out,here in a bit. Thinkin' he's gonna slap it aboard a Faux Ti 7-08/162 melding.

He had another 4.5-14x tracking SNAFU yesterday and I'm pretty certain,I've always hated that fucking glass.(grin)

Be curious to see what 100yd butcher paper reveals...................

 

[Big Stick]

He changed his mind on the Faux Ti,after breaking a coupla wrenches,trying to get the 6x42 off.(grin)

The 4.5-14x remains sound,after gunning vertically strung paper at the 100yd line. Dumped 42MOA into it,up and down and it repeated nicely. Ammo chronographed soft and were the culprit.

No thang...when there's a reason..................

 

[RTA48]

Have not done the butcher paper routine yet, today I did do the twist and twist to see if it would return home and it did.

 

[Big Stick]

I like plumbob'd paper and lots of it. Cheers me up to stretch an erector wayyyyyyyyy past my LRF's abilities,so I can do an educated guesstimate in other zipcodes. Right handy.(grin)

Paper will immediately discern any erector "weirdness" right outta da gate and save a buncha fucking around. Will also pinpoint values,which do help.

Nice to see 45MOA of Smoothitude,on sumptin' that eats less than 20 to 1K...............
