  Hi everybody, thinking about a 6X42 scope. I'm open to sugestions on brand. I have a leupold and am wondering if IOR, S&B or one of the other brands are worth the extra money. I am aware "worth" is a subjective term but what do y'all think? Or should I wait for the SS 6X? I'm not in a big hurry, hunting season is a ways off.]]> Thu, 11 Mar 2010 16:00:55 +0000 http://www.opticstalk.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=22557&PID=294367#294367 Spotting Scopes : Zoom v.s.

Gentlemen.

What I have at mind is zoom, more excact USABLE zoom in scopes.
 
I have the Bushnell Excursion 15-45x60. Over all - its worth the money (270$ for a nice package) but its nothing amazing. It works well up to 25x zoom but after that the image quality starts to suffer. My father in law had even "bigger" scope a Barska with 60x zoom. Ive had a look but everything above 20x zoom is like eating damaged food. What a crap.
 
I guess the laws of the market are simple - Zoom sells!  The bigger the better!!!
 
But to me its just not so. Just as with rifle scopes -  its all about glass quality and you get what you pay for (usually).  Id wish the Bushnell would be good all the way up to 45x zoom but it is not.  I love bright crisp image - but it just seems to disappear when I zoom in. Therefore, to me Ive just cant call that range usable zoom because the image quality starts to suffer.
 
So now I wonder, how much will I have to pay to get a spotting scope that really has a "usable zoom" up to 40x or so?

Also keep in mind to hole about a $100-$200 out for decent rings and a base.]]> Thu, 11 Mar 2010 15:54:28 +0000 http://www.opticstalk.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=22549&PID=294365#294365 Reloading & Ballistics : die parts http://www.opticstalk.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=22472&PID=294364#294364 Author: SD Dog

Glad they took care of you Pyro, but it brings up another question.  How far down should the depriming pin be turned down.  I've always set is so it just pops the primer a little before the end of the stroke.  Should it be down further?  Can't think of a good reason why.]]> Thu, 11 Mar 2010 15:53:34 +0000 http://www.opticstalk.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=22472&PID=294364#294364 Rifle Scopes : New scope Need help? http://www.opticstalk.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=22549&PID=294363#294363 Author: SVT_Tactical

 As big a fan as I am of the SS scopes you can't go wrong with the 16x or 20x for the distance you want, that said your first choice is a variable, soooooo if you can hold off a little while SS is coming out with a 4.8-20x. Supposed to be out late spring early summer from what was said.
 You can also take a look at the Bushnel scopes with built in range finders. I think they sell in the $600-650 range.
 As far as the rifle you could not have chosen more wisely,except maybe a 12vlp either or.


What will the cost be?

What is FFP?  Why does it make a scope cost so much more?
600 yards I think will be plenty far enough for me to start with.  800-1000 is going to push the wallet to far!


I have been looking at some other rifles:
All Savage
10 BAS-K  $1524
10 BAT/S-K  $1652
I found the 10 FCP with a  HS or McM stock  HS=$900 and McM= $1100?

I am just not sure what to get....  If I get the more expensive rifle, I will get a SS scope while working on getting the funds next year for a variable.

Leica is a legendary company and name.  I hope they stay in business for many years to come despite their ever escalating prices and stiff competition!]]> Thu, 11 Mar 2010 15:44:26 +0000 http://www.opticstalk.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=22513&PID=294360#294360 Almost Anything Goes : Word Association......Go! http://www.opticstalk.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=22372&PID=294359#294359 Author: SVT_Tactical

Thanks Bud, I stole your picture.  Anyone know what base this things takes?
 
I have looked at a few different brands and can't find one but figured you smart people may know right off hand.
