    https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/ubb/printthread/Board/16/main/1048341/type/thread This is one of them I was referencing.

    Sportsmatch T035C (For Tikka T1x)

    I have seen a couple and one of them happened to someone I trust, so I went with something else. The design does seem to have a fairly thin cross section where the failures I have seen have happened. The DNZ rings are much thicker there. Of course, cross sectional area isn't as important as...

    Sportsmatch T035C (For Tikka T1x)

    I have read about issues and seen pictures of Talley rings breaking. I haven't with the DNZ. The rings are noticeably more beefy than Talley rings in the area where the Talley rings break. They are definitely not as attractive. My T1X fell off a chest high platform I was using and the scope...

    Sportsmatch T035C (For Tikka T1x)

    They are definitely not the same height. I was not able to find clamp on rings that would work for both T1x and T3X at the same centerline height. I went with DNZ Tikka rings on both and they have held great so far. They aren't the prettiest, but they work, which is what I was wanting.

    Maven RS1.2 Review (updated Jan. 21)

    I was wrong. I could have sworn the 6X was .06, but it is .07. Here is a link to an old Optics Talk thread that has all the SWFA reticle measurements: SWFA reticle subtensions.

    Sightron S-TAC 3-16X42 FFP Mil experience

    If you didn't like the 3-15 SWFA, you definitely won't like the STAC. You can still get the Bushnell LRHS with the G2H reticle from GAP. When I emailed and asked them, they said that they still had quite a few of them. If you get to see the Maven, definitely let me know your opinion as a...

    Sightron S-TAC 3-16X42 FFP Mil experience

    Both. The RS1.2 2.5-15X44 variant. I think the original RS1 only came in MOA. The Mil reticle looks much better done to me.

    Sightron S-TAC 3-16X42 FFP Mil experience

    I have a lot of trouble with fine reticles when there is a cluttered/mottled/dark background as well. I have tried both the SWFA 3-15 and the Sightron 3-16, Sightron- The reticle was so fine that I could only make out the hash marks at 8X or greater in anything other than very bright light and...

    Trijicon 3-9x40 Accupoint vs 3-9x40 Credo

    I haven't tried the 3-9 Accupoint, just the 5-20X50 (and a 1-4X24 with the triangle reticle that I used to have, it was so nice that is why my brother bought the 5-20X50 and has left it and his rifle with me while he is out of state). The specs say the Credo has better eye relief and someone on...

    If you guys are around the West TN area, shoot me a PM and I can meet you somewhere and let you look through mine.

    Trijicon 3-9x40 Accupoint vs 3-9x40 Credo

    Something I can help with! :) I own 4 of the Credo 3-9X40 Mil Square scopes and 1 of the Accupoint 5-20X50 Mil Dot scopes. The Accupoint scopes are made in Wixom MI out of parts that Trijicon sources from different companies. I have also read that they get glass from Meopta but I don't know...

    Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44 new model

    So not a lot of top cover making is shady? Love the mountain in the background. My company has a test site somewhere around Hilo. I haven't had the opportunity to go yet. I have heard it is very beautiful there though.

    Feedback on optics selection - 308 Hunt/Target

    This isn't scientific but it is math. This. While this isn't scientific, it is math. :) I have a Credo 3-9X40 that has .05 Mil reticle at 9X. It is visible, but just barely as it gets dark on mottled backgrounds. I personally have to turn on the illumination around 4-5 min before the end...

    Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44 new model

    What part of the country and time of the day? If you don't mind me asking. Southeastern pine/cedar thicket in the early morning is noticeably different to me than a hardwood covered ridge in the early afternoon for reticle visibility. :) 2 different places I hunt, both that I would call thick...

    Which single scope for multiple calibers/guns/uses poll

    I agree. That is why I want to get multiple copies of the same scope. All on different rifles. Sorry if I wasn't clear in my giant wall of text. :)
