    Arken EPL-4 4-16x44mm Q&A

    Just to confirm; a bunch of the scopes you do these evaluations on loose zero from driving on paved roads? This is sitting on the back seat, where you would imagine there is a reason amount of padding. It’s not like the rifle has been chicken in the back and is rolling around with all your...

    Low power binos

    I've got the Kowa 6.5 BDIIs and think they are excellent. Used them for bird and animal spotting and the lower magnification and wide FOV makes them excellent to use at close distances. The are really small and compact with makes them easy to carry in a jacket pocket and they are very...

    March durability? Zero retention? How bad is that eyebox?

    Its suprising that the LRHS reticle did a donut right ( sectioned so it didn't obsurce the main stadia) but every other donut since hasn't followed suit. Having the first windage marks not starting until 2mil is incredibly stupid.

    Scope Choice for Long Action Rifle

    The non-ultra short S&B 3-20x50 would be worth looking into, not sure what MOA options are availabLe though. The Burris XTR3i 3.3-18x50 isn’t super compact so could also be worth a look. There is also a new Delta Stryker 3.5-21x44 that is meant to be out in the next few months, it looks like it...

    Viper HSLR and HST Still Competitive?

    I had an HST 4-16x44 a few years back, in it's time it was a good scope for the money but there are much better scopes on the market now. Personally I wouldn't want an HST these days. The PST Gen 2 and Strike Eagle scopes have considerably better glass than the HST but are a bit heavier, if...

    Are diesel engines overrated?

    In my experience diesel all the way for towing/work, either or if not. Diesel usually will get considerably better fuel consumption regardless when comparing similar power/torque, and will give a better torque. When it comes to towing diesel fuel consumption is dramatically better, the fuel...

    Optics Trade

    I bought some Kowa binoculars from them a few months ago, got sent a promo code for free shipping which really sweetened the deal. Shipping was very quick and had great communication. Would definitely buy from them again.

    Scope for a .17 HMR

    Something in the 2-16 range is about perfect. I had a Vortex PST 2.5-10x32 on mine for a while and liked it a lot, 10x was more than enough for small game out to 150yards. The Leupold VX5hd 3-15x44 is a pretty nice scope and worth considering if you like SFP and MOA.

    8x vs 10x

    I've recently bought a pair of Kowa 6.5x32 BDIIs and they are rather excellent. For hunting within 200yards I wouldn't go for 10x, 8x maximum and strongly consider less. I have a pair of Althon Cronus 10x42s which have quite a wide FOV for a 10x and find them annoying to use inside of 300yards...

    FOV vs eye relief

    FOV is tied to eye relief if you are talking about the same size eye piece being closer or nearer to the shooters eye, there are a few Hawke rifle scopes available in differing eye relief (some much shorter designed for air rifles) that a get a much wider FOV the shorter the eye relief. If you...

    ZCO MPVO 1.7-12

    Surprised that this hasn’t shown up here with the love of “MVPO” scopes. New scope for the European market that ticks zero boxes for a dream MVPO other than mag range and Mil/FFP: -light weight: No, 28oz+ -compact: No, 13.4” -low profile, exposed elevation: No, ugly tall capped turret -30mm...

    For PRS - Separate RF/BINO or all-in-one?

    As above, although you are given target distances if you do want to verfify being able to find and range the target with a single unit is nice to have. Some matches I've shot have had some very steep angles to acount for so having binos to view the targets and then to get the angle to target is...

    How many riflescopes have daylight bright illumination?

    Your firedot should be very visible in bright daylight. It uses fibreoptics for the dot which is what all daylight bright (SFPs) LVPOs use, so yes it should be very very bright.
