Swaro says 0.3 MOA: https://subtensions.swarovskioptik.com/
Since the crosshairs are 0.15 MOA thick, the coverage of the crosshair is going to be 0.0675 MOA, and the circle will be .0707 MOA, so you'll have 0.0008 MOA ^ 2 worth of "round" in each of the 4 quadrants. In other words the...
I shoot my 22 out to 400 yds, and the big issue I see with the SWFA is that there doesn't appear to be a rotation indicator and the turret is 5 mils/rev. That's a lot of turret manipulation for a competition setting
Or the turrets were played with, or every mount is different, or some adjustment was used during boresighting that wasn't discussed, etc. The Burris has more range than the Leupold.
A scope with matching optical and mechanical zero has about 0 chance of being the cause of an alignment issue...
If it doesn't have electronics, it will probably be obsolete within 20 years, but will certainly still be useful beyond that. Anything electronic (think rangefinder) is probably a paperweight after ~10-15 years.
in an AR with an LPVO you can see your rail, muzzle device, can, etc.
Anything with a wide enough field of view you're going to get the muzzle device. The positive is that usually the only thing it's obscuring is the ground immediately in front of you.
"All other things being equal" is the problem there. The same scope can be mounted twice in the same rings to the same rifle and have a different zero.
Pretty easy for OP to confirm an issue with the scope. Put it in the lower ring halves with the scope optically centered, then, without moving...
OP, before you go through the trouble of reaching out to Leupold, shipping them your scope, and having them do this when it gets there, follow the above video to get your scope optically centered. When it's optically centered, see if it's also mechanically centered (equal number of clicks center...
Right, 10 scopes and 10 rifles have nothing to do with subbing 1 scope on 1 rifle. I'm more inclined to think there's potentially a scope issue if you put the scope on a completely different rifle in completely different mounts and it maxes the same way, but subbing scope A for B doesn't tell...
You can just put the scope you're questioning on a mirror, center the reflected reticle (optical center) and verify that the scope has the same adjustment for impact left and right from center to stop.
EDIT: Putting scope A in a set of rings and comparing it to scope B just tells you that when...
