He'll try to yank a few chains and then go back in his hole.

Too bad you "experts" cannot spell Schott glass.
As for my military record (whatever bearing it might have) is unknown to you and will remain so.
As for yours.........

It is always amusing that when "experts" cannot come up with facts, they fall back on name calling.

Yeah get those baits out ..... real "fair chase" hunting hero from Seward's folly.

I suppose you would know a LOT about Texas Sheep aka your girlfriends, but no MR Know It All, it's Wyoming Sagebrush.

Of course your super high X March scopes (none of which you own) are SFP as that's why they have the red numbers on the magnification ring.
Do you know why SFP have certain magnification #s in a different color ?

Lots of Army AMU schools/units in AK I'm sure. Also the worldwide hub of 1000 yard benrchrest shooting.

Glad you drop other peoples' names but are too cowardly to ever reveal yours.

When you actualy own any of these optics or rifles, can prove you served as a sniper in any branch or hold any long range match records, you might be worth bothering with. Until then you are a pair of "talk bigs" that are just too vapid to bother with anymore.

Bye bye boys.

I can tell that you didn't check the March Tacticool scope link that I sent you. Does Shit and Bender have anything comparable? Seems March has FFP scopes also. Does Shit and Bender have a 10X-60X or a 10X-80X? Do they use ED quality glass? So Shot glass is the best?
What are your qualifications in this matter? You've read a little? Are you an optics engineer?
Looks like a Texas sheep pasture. Show me bullet holes at 600yards with your Shit and Bender. Go to the March website and see bullet holes at 1000 yards using a cell phone camera shooting through the lens.

The best money I have ever spent on optics is a top of the line Meopta scope. I can now see mirage that I could not see before. When I miss at long range, it isn't because I can't see the target, my W/E adjustments don't work, etc. - it is because of a four letter word: WIND.

Yesterday I shot at 820 yards. The conditions were nearly calm, but my scope showed a slight L-R wind even though it was cloudy. I got set up to shoot, and decided to check once again just before the shot. Mirage was gone (and not because the wind was too strong). Held dead on instead of the 1 MOA hold I had been planning.

I would rather have a great spotting scope and run of the mill rifle scope than a great rifle scope with a crap spotting scope.

I notice I pick up mirage better with a Nightforce than a Leupold. But nothing picks it up better than a high quality 75 or 80 mm lens. Besides, to see it best you need to move it out of focus from the target. Yesterday was a perfect example. I saw no mirage at my 820 yard target through my scope, spotter or rifle. My anemometer said 4 mph. I twisted the focus of my scope so that it was focused about 300 yards; I could see faint mirage against the blurred background; it was nearly flat, so even though my anemometer said 4 mph, I held for 3 MOA with a .300 RUM. Shot was about 5 inches high, but nearly perfect for wind. I then shot my .308 with 4 MOA windage; shot was 5 inches high as well, but needed about 3/4 MOA more windage. In that case the of .308 shot, the wind was almost negligible on my anemometer.

I have not found any riflescope to be as effective as a good spotter when it comes to picking up mirage. I think the very narrow range of focus is why; a rifle scope has a pretty wide range of focus.
