Big or Bust Report post Posted July 4, 2018 Lex builds a good rifle as does Melvin, as long as Melvin builds it and nor the help he's been going through for a few years now.... The Barret Fieldcraft will probably retire Melvin in a few years unfortunately.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MMACFIVE Report post Posted July 4, 2018 Im torn on the Barret. It looks a a heck of a rifle for the price. They used Melvins design without consulting him though. Melvins patents must have expired. So I guess they didnt steal anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DEAD ON AT 100 YARDS OR 1,000 YARDS?UNDERSTANDING LONG-RANGE RETICLESLong-range riflescopes should be optimized to shoot at long range…not to perform perfect box drills at 100 yards.To understand why we make the choices we do, you have to understand long-range precision reticle engineering.Adjusting the side focus of any long-range riflescope moves an internal lens that changes the overall magnificationby a small fraction. This creates reticle subtension deviations at different distances. Scope manufacturers must choose the distance at which you’ll notice this deviation.

Red Rabbit Report post Posted July 5, 2018 The SWFA 3-9HD is on sale for Independence Day. Reticle would be good on low power too as it is a little thicker than the 3-15, good tracking, enough magnification for your distances. https://swfa.com/swfa-ss-hd-3-9x42-tactical-30mm-riflescope.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Meaning their holdovers and holdoffs are not accurate except @ 1000 yards and max magnification. Should still hold true MOA clicks though, and tracking.....and their reputation is not stellar in this area. Yet another reason I run all FFP scopes. Accurate and consistent at 100, 347, 611 & 1000. Correct at 3x, 5x, 7.2x, 14.7x, 21.1x, or 25x. No subtension issues. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leupold would never talk about their own scopes RTZ, tracking, etc. They do not want to have that conversation and they would then have to admit their scopes from cheap to expensive all mostly have the same crappy internals that wont track. Of course a SFP scope will have issues if someone has no idea how to use it... All my scopes are FFP as well for the reasons Lance described above...
