The SPREAD = parallax wheels comparison

Here are the numbers I got for the scopes I've used in Field Target, at 16x:
------------------------------------Degrees of parallax knob turn
Scope-----------------------------10-55 yards-------------40-55 yards

Sightron SIII 10-50x60 FT--------------225-----------------------13
Vortex Diamondback 6-24x50---------238-----------------------22
Immersive Optics 14x50-----------------75------------------------7

I think the degrees of spread for the 40-55 or 45-55 yard range is more important than the 10-55 yard range, since it is tougher to range longer distances.
While the Vortex looks on paper like it should be the winner, I get more repeatability with the Sightron, even though it doesn't focus in/out all that crisply.
The Immersive Optics prism is spectacular at crisply getting the focus. And it has a superbly wide field of view for fast target acquisition. But the knob range is so small, I can't judge repeatability. f they could gear the parallax knob to triple the turn range and increase magnification to 16x, it would likely be the winner.

I thought I would add an interesting and personal summation where I compared price point to overall suitability for Field Target.
This is quite subjective and it doesn’t mean it affected my scope choice or “final scope selection“
but….
as of 8/3/2025, the overall best bang for the buck, sub <$800.00, provided the reticle thickness agrees with the user at 16X is the Element Titan 3-18x50 in FFP,
but
Athlon Heras SPR 6-24x56 in SFP, providing the reticle thickness agrees with the user, creates a tie, because the I. Q. Of the Heras beats the Titan so….🤔damn.

Thanks for the suggestion. I was trying to find any sold items/ threads to check on that but I couldn’t find any. Not sure what they are selling for buy I will be asking around 2K for all the items. (Compressor, pellets, and other stuff)

Looks like you are trying to get a jump on advertising.. might want to be careful with that. This has the air of dump and run to it considering it appears you are selling out of the hobby.
This is a forum where folks share experience. The classifieds are just an added benefit for the members. It's not strictly buy and sell website.

The SPREAD = parallax wheels comparison

Is this particularly true for guns set at just under 20ft/lbs? I wonder if it would work for a 15ft/lbs springer - I might have to try and see!

The power of your rifle has no relevance to the scopes ability to parallax focus … it’s all about the optics … and just because you spend more doesn’t mean it will perform better in this particular type of test.
The element Titan is a $700 scope and to date spreads out the numbers on a 6” wheel further than any scope I’ve tested, but, image quality is not going to be anything like the $3000. Nightforce ATACR or the $1700 Sightron S3’s. AND, you have to work hard for repeatability… always a trade off.

Peskadot do you have access to a 3d printer? I have a stl for a smaller moderator. that works great. even works on my GK1 .25 shorty.

Do you mind if I ask how much you have invested in this set up shown in your picture, it is sick.
Deets on each upgrade you made?
Beautiful gun.
Have you heard about the .30 cal being released in October? I'm trying to find info on potential fps/fpe, as I am stuck in my head between .25 and .30.....
Thanks in advance.

Taipan Slash & Slash Tactical in stock!!

CanMike said:
I wonder what rifle this has been based off. Lol
Click to expand...
If you're suggesting the Leshiy 2, think again. Totally different valve system. Different trigger group. Doesn't fold. Different indexing method.

The only thing the Slash has in common with the L2 are some superficial design features, like the carbon fiber handguard, and the air reservoir in the stock (instead of below the barrel). But even those are not unique to the L2.

Parallax wheel help

Swagley said:
I’m trying to find out if Jd’s custom design is still in business? His site has been saying “ Sorry down to complete order and rebuild inventory” for at least 2 months now. Any info is appreciated as I’m trying to set up a new scope and I’m in need of a scope wheel.

Thanks

I use jb3dpd.com
Jake is a good guy and will customize any of his products.
British so it takes a couple extra days in the mail

In the classifieds there is a filter button
First field: what category you are interested in
Second field: Sold

That only will tell you that it sold and what was the asking price
It could have sold for less if the seller and buyer negotiated.

I would just suggest doing a bunch of research beforehand to get a grasp on market value. I cruise the classifieds here and all over online constantly. The number in many people’s mind is much too high for their equipment. They probably don’t do any checking.

red dot ???

KimbapSodaPap
MongooseV8 said:
The thing I have noticed most is the clarity or crispness of the dot shape. The cheaper dots are very blurry or fuzzy, which is exaggerated by astigmatism. I started using medium quality green dots and they work much better for me. The only downside is the green color doesnt stand out as much in direct sunlight or bright green backgrounds.

Other than that; I find the big-window thin-housing optics to be much easier to get on target compared to the typical small tube housing dots.

This may or may not work, but aside from switching colors, different reticles and MOA+brightness combos can also help. A reticle change (circle dot or chevron) works for me. But I've also heard that a larger MOA dot lets you keep the brightness lower, thus reduces the starbursting effect while still keeping the dot from getting lost.

Is lubricating pellets necessary?

Do you just hose it off and swirl it in water? Since ultrasonic can cause pitting idk what to do for washing.
Click to expand...
I put them in a plastic bowl and fill it with hot water plus dish soap and swirl them around for a bit with a silicone basting brush and let them sit for 5 minutes or so, drain thoroughly, rinse well and then spread out on paper towels overnight to dry. I fold up some paper towel to fit in a medium sized zip lock bag, spray some silicone spray on the paper towel, add some pellets and roll them around in the bag for a bit and then into a pellet tin. I leave the lid off for a while so the silicone dries on the pellets before I put the lid back on.

Ive not dealt with the Artemis/SnowPeak internally adjustable regulators. I generally replace the internally adjustable OEM regulators on my guns with a Huma Air regulator first sign of trouble. But that has been FX, RAW, Hartley not Artemis/SnowPeak.

My one SnowPeak is a Max 1 which is externally adjustable.
