That scope I linked you to has both diopter (reticle) focus and target focus (parallax adjustment).
thos are the two most important aspects for seeing well through a magnified tube.
Oh, I bookmarked it....$800 is still slightly less than getting both eyes done.. :)
I wore glasses for 25 years. I also shot and killed lots of critters with those thick glasses.Quote:

btw, I'm glad all your eye stuff has worked out. You went through a lot, man.

Bogie, did you have one of those spaghetti moments with the Mrs., ....eating the same noodle until ya kiss?
I have both a Leupold MK-IV LR/T 3.5-10x40 and a SWFA 3-9x42 (and a 3-15x42 FFP I still haven't mounted) and for the money, the SWFA gives the Leupy a run for its money and is what I run on my AR platforms.
That said, Leupold warranty and customer service can't be beat. The Mark 4 is staying on the .308 bolt gun I use for hunting. I wouldn't mind going to the M5 turrets to get off the MOA/MIL setup into a MIL/MIL, but I know my holdover when needed.
Yes, it was in the magic kingdom castle, with fireworks bursting in the sky!
Heya Brutal
Uh Oh.
*runs to the can*
Don't eat free Gummys
$1600 for the MK IV...spensive.
Naw, it was a fart that almost got out of control.
Everything's good now.. ;)
Where'd Fire Crotch go?

I went back to work.
Not enough reinforcement (ie too much displacement where the load will sit. Time to rethink this.
Alright, if I order that scope, is it gonna fit in the mounts I already have?...Optics Planet isn't giving specs on the o.d. of the tube or mount options....that I see anyways.
That's gotta be for the FFP or illuminated model.Quote:

Oh I'll figure it out, I've got another 2 months to work on it, and I'm not even working full time yet... [WooHoo]
Brutal, the bushnell in Bellys link. I can do 800 right now, but I think that's probably my limit for that gun. If I had a high end gun, I could justify high end money for optics.
1200 is too much for that AR I think.

He's pretty damn good with his .308
I know Belly and Bogie are all gaga about that scope, but you should take a look at the SWFA 3-15x42 FFP with the Mil-quad reticle for that kind of money.Quote:
