    length from start of front bell to end of eye piece for NF SHV 3-10x42?

    agreed, but the issue is that i didn't have the scope in hand to measure that last bit you add to 5.1 inches and it isn't in nightforce's literature

    length from start of front bell to end of eye piece for NF SHV 3-10x42?

    Thanks so much for taking the time. Before I saw your post, I did a little "on the screen using a ruler and ratios" action and got 8.65" (but that includes that rubber on the eye piece and how they had the focus adjusted for the pic). I'll use your numbers instead, but them being so close...

    length from start of front bell to end of eye piece for NF SHV 3-10x42?

    https://www.nightforceoptics.com/riflescopes/shv/shv-3-10x42/ https://www.nightforceoptics.com/download/#flipbook-shv-owners-manual/17/ I need to know the distance from the start of the front objective bell (end of tube up front) to the last lens closest to your eye (in the eye piece). The...

    Anyway to deactivate leupold cds turret?

    some of my relatives at deer camp are thoughtless a-holes that will purposefully do the thing you tell them not to do Yeah, it sucks and I don’t hunt near them or hang out when they have a loaded gun I live in WV and about 1 in 5 people are just horrific

    Anyway to deactivate leupold cds turret?

    I don’t trust my leupold to return to zero if someone at deer camp plays with the turret. I dialed it up and down and it shifted a few inches at 200 yards. And some of my cousins would mess with a gun even if told not to (redneck trait of thinking you know better). Is there anyway to remove...

    Flatlineops level touching DNZ Game Reaper ring, any reason for concern?

    If I know anything, it is that human intuition when it comes to high speed and high powered things is often totally wrong. So, here's my question. I mounted a scope using DNZ Game Reaper 1 piece mount. The scope is compact and the front of the front ring is 1/8" back from where the front...

    calculate total height from receiver to scope center?

    You have to ask why someone would write a harsher comment, think better of it, and then quickly edit it to tone it down? Is that supposed to be a gotcha?

    saddle hunting

    I would get a Tethrd Predator platform (2 sizes and I use the smaller) and 4 or 3 novix or trophy line short sticks (same maker I believe with diff name) and use a single step aider, I would use a carry as you go aider and carry a back up one and tie your primary to your saddle using thin shock...

    calculate total height from receiver to scope center?

    Was that supposed to be funny? Do you walk up to people that just bought a new truck and talk smack? Just know that you come off bad here and that you aren’t funny…..true wit requires high intelligence….world would be a better place if people didn’t take their own issues out on others and if...

    calculate total height from receiver to scope center?

    Thanks....Leupold should explicitly say that. Again, for a famous company.....their website isn't so great.

    calculate total height from receiver to scope center?

    I want to know what to expect before I order this stuff. I don't have any of it in hand.

    calculate total height from receiver to scope center?

    All, Just got off the phone with Leupold tech support. This guy sucked (smart aleck) and I'm surprised their website contains such little technical information. Yeah, I'm about to drop a few hundred bucks on your products....I want to be able to tell if it will work prior to ordering. So...

    School me on scope and cheek location

    School me on scope and cheek location

    I’m mounting a short scope and at higher magnifications I have to slide forward a bit on the stock, extending my neck but not uncomfortably so. On a hunting rifle that will be shot offhand and from a field rest, what is the consensus on how much stretched forward is desirable? Ideally, I’d...

    Fix for Sitka Downpour wicking into sleeve (design flaw?)?

    You might wanna check out LightHeart gear. They make a silpoly jacket and silpoly pants for the rain that are crunchy but 100% waterproof and pack down to nothing. If I tried, I could probably stuff both pieces easily into a large McDonalds drink cup.

    Leupold Backcountry as a Talley replacement?

    Can you or someone else with the Back Country Tikka rings put a caliper on these rings and let me know the width of an individual ring front to back? It should be like 0.5 to 0.7 inches or so. I have a short scope and might need these instead of my DNZ Game Reapers which have relatively thick...

    Fix for Sitka Downpour wicking into sleeve (design flaw?)?

    Old thread, but I hope they took care of you. I used my sealing method detailed above to also do around the hood and around the waist area because it was wicking there also. I only did a small width around the hood so it wouldn't rub my face or neck. I still use this jacket from time to time...

    Ring torque specs exceed scope manufacturer's recommended specs

    I know this is a zombie thread.....but in case this helps someone that is looking at the same issue. It's because they only have 2 bolts versus 4 bolts. Picture 1 rope holding 100 lbs vs. 2 ropes holding the same weight. In the two rope scenario, each rope pulls against the weight with 50 lbs...
