He actually is a good shot and taught at Rifles Only for a bit. ( Same place that Frank Gallie got his start as an instructor at )
Lately though he has just made an ass of himself on youtube for clout.
The Japanese OEM scopes just ignore it, while Euro scopes that are sent to the US have the field stops.
They don't have the patent in Japan, but I think their patent might still mess with Leupold because other than the glass Leupold is made in the USA. Yes the patent is all over the place...
Correct, but they still did the field stop. Probably so they don't run into trouble with swaro as some of the key people at ZCO used to work for Kahles.
The FOV on ZCO is slightly worse than their spec sheet numbers.
Thank god you have a brain lol. There is a reason why you can appeal...
Long drawn out legal battle that they would be fighting in court after the patent has already expired if Swaro decides to sue.
So what they are doing is making scopes that break the patent but then install field stops that artificially restrict the FOV so that they don’t have any trouble with...
Except you’re wrong, simply because some gov worker signed off on it doesn’t make it within the rules.
They didn’t patent any new technology like a new eyepiece design, they just said you can’t make a scope above 4x zoom that has x amount of FOV and some idiot singed off on it. That’s not...
The patent doesn't have any technology, they patented specs on FOV which you cannot patent specs.
That would be like patenting cars that go above 60 mph, that's not something you can patent and it was already stuck down in the EU but it took several years to do so.
If it was challenged here by...
There is that, and then there are people that drop their scopes on hard ground and wonder why the turret broke off or why the bell bent.
They just don't post those publicly.
I’m pretty sure the best PRS shooter in the world uses an H2CMR, for people that don’t know what that is, it’s just a thin crosshair with .2 mil markings on it.
Then there is the JTAC reticle that was specifically designed by PRS shooters.
I’ll be so glad when the Christmas tree phase...
Call Mike at Tac Ops.
If he doesn’t answer leave a message and he will call you back. He hates doing things over text/email and loves calling people up to get all the information the best way.
Yep, some Euro companies don’t even do threads, they heat up the metal and the press the barrel into the action.
The same company that does that is known for making extremely accurate sniper rifles-Steyr.
I think Sauer also has a few models like that.
You can’t have the barrel flex...
Your barrel connects to the action meaning that there is a surface between two parts there, as you shoot your barrel heats up and that connection between the two parts becomes a joint that doesn’t heat and move as one piece, meaning your barrel will literally flex and move inside of the action...
