Thread: Scope adjustments

There have been many comments on the forum discussing scopes not holding zero; friction vs click dials; expensive vs cheap precision etc etc. Here is a very worthwhile series of comments from a top shooter explaining the whys and wherefor's of these issues.

There are plenty of tracking tests showing precise and repeatable scopes. Although they generally focus on verifying the tracking vs unit of measure, grabbing handfuls of clicks at time. But, when they do show individual clicks you also see the reticle track an according amount.
The flaw I see in his assessment is using the rifle to shoot paper to verify his scopes tracking and opinion.There is far too much human element than if checked on a purpose built jig against a calibrated target. His videos are normally more data driven which is a little surprising.
Yes the technique works and will likely hide issues with some scopes, but there is plenty of evidence to support that you also get what you pay for at the end of the day.
A video of a brand x scope mounted on a test mount and tracking poorly against a calibrated target at a known range would be as worthwhile as seeing the alpha glass videos.

I'm fucked,
I have plenty of nightforces big guns and the biggest most powerfull chainsaw ever made in my shed with a modest 56inch bar I can put on it when needed.
My wanger might be small but it spits along way!

Then you also need one of these Jeep 6.4l V8 the only Jeep worth buying

A better example @ 1:20 in.

I reckon that fella is a lathe operator - thats exactly what you do with a machining setup, always adjust in to your cut...
