Alright, the sun is down on the East coast...The shooting hours are over. Where is our range report?
|

If it is tourist season, why can't we shoot them?

ya done good for an iphone camera! It's not easy to focus thru a scope...AF plays tricks on ya!
I can easily make out that deer graising.
Is it me or are you canted to the right a good bit? Or is it a floptical dilution?

Steel is 22" tall, just a little bigger than a deer...
Scope "looks" canted terribly but it's dead on. The gun was on a bipod and I could've been holding the iphone cockeyed idk?? So what's the trick to taking pics through a scope. I tried a regular camera but it was worse. I love the reticle, it was fun hitting all my long range targets without dialing the knobs much. The mildot diamonds in the reticle are perfect for holdover target shooting. You can see your target through them easily. The half mil marks are a plus too. The glass isn't the best, I was comparing it to my vortex viper and it's not quite as clear as it. It's just a notch below it for clarity. Turret clicks are good, they seem a little better than my 16x I had several years ago. |

Auto focus is your enemy on most cameras when trying to take pictures thru a scope. This is because of how and where the autofocus detector is on the camera. Manually focus the camera and that still takes practice.

I understand this is fixed. However, does the reticle size match what it would if it was a variable FFP scope.
Never owned a FFP scope and my understanding was that the reticle size increases with magnification and worried about the reticle covering up the target. Eagle |

Not sure what you consider thick but the reticle thickness are as follows at 100yds - On the 10x model its .18" (same thickness as the 5-20 FFP model), 12x model is .14", the 16x is .13", the 20x is .11". |

Wow my eyes were screwed last night. I was reading the hash as a full mil mark. Anyway assuming it is at 900 yards, and a 22" steel, it mils at about .68... And i was reading like 1.1 last night...
