opinions on scope
Here is a previous thread.
www.airgunnation.com
I still haven't mounted mine. I have done some adjusting to the diopter but without it being mounted I haven't made any serious attempts at getting it dialed in. Still, I suspect getting both an in-focus reticle & a flat image at 1x will be difficult. To be fair, I have some vision issues that always make this difficult.
I like the size of the reticle at 1x but find the horseshoe a bit small at the ~3x where this scope will stay most of the time on a pest rifle.
I really like the FOV. Much larger than the Discovery 2-12x24 which is also discussed in the above thread.
New Discovery LPVO with side focus
Saw this posted on another forum. I am not affiliated with the YouTube channel. I went ahead and ordered one as well as the 2-12x24. Will see which one I like better. The 2-12x24 has shorter eye relief than the LPVO so it is unlikely to end up on my Leshiy2 or Classic. But we shall see. I...

Thank you. Just got back from the range. Starting to look at .22 cals to be able to compete there (for fun only)Your 30 cal most likely will be usable as long as it’s under 80fpe for our “Long Range” match’s. To shoot our regular field target match, a gun 20fpe or less, no larger than .22 is required. We would encourage you to come out and shoot. Here’s a link to events that are in the area.

Any suggestions that would be a “good” gun, but not a $1,000? I saw some of the guns from the list and there were some that were very expensive.

Maybe you can use Ultra-High Frequency RFID tags and reader.
automation.gogcg.com Ultra-High Frequency RFID tags have the fastest reading speed and the longest read range. While near-range UHF tags are an option, compared to HF tags, near-range UHF tags have a shorter and narrower read range. However, near-range UHF tags are less susceptible to interference, providing a performance advantage.
Far-range UHF RFID tags can read at ranges as far as 12 meters with a passive RFID tag, whereas active tags can achieve ranges of 100 meters or more. The operating frequency of UHF RFID tags ranges from 300 MHz to 3 GHz, and UHF tags are the most vulnerable to interference. To counteract signal interference, UHF tag producers often manufacture readers and antennas that maintain reliability in troublesome environments.
UHF tags are cheaper to make than HF tags (~5-15¢ labels compared to 50¢-$2) , causing them to appear in a wide variety of applications including inventory management, anti-theft management, and wireless device configuration.
RFID technology is a growing market, and UHF tags are becoming increasingly popular due to their lower cost and equivalent effectiveness to LF and HF tags. If you are searching for a new tagging or tracking system that will improve your business model, RFID may be a valuable option to consider.
Understanding RFID and RFID Operating Ranges
Three frequency groups make up virtually all RFID tags. Each has their own typical uses because of their inherent advantages.

Element Nexus Gen 1 vs. Gen 2: Thoughts?
- By Alejandro91

Hello Micheal been looking for this type of comment, without hesitating on brand, and now that you have Nexus g2 and NX8...which scope will you buy again? NEXUS G2 OR NX8.....Im in the decision of one of those 2 but think on getting NX8 4-32, but also seen good coments on Nexus g2.I consider myself a moderate scope junkie. While I can't afford the best scopes, I like to outfit my finest airguns with the finest glass I can. Earlier this year I started using reading glasses as my once perfect vision is starting to fail. It should be noted that ALL of my scopes are FFP. So that affects my opinion on the reticles below.
Most of my airguns run the Hawke Frontier or Sidewinder range. I think they are good scopes that don't break the bank. The clarity is good, the reticles are good, the turrets are... ok (so I primarily use them with hold-over), and the eye boxes are quite forgiving. I've also owned a variety of Athlon scopes. They offer a good bang for your buck. The upper end (like the Cronus) is an excellent scope that closely compares to the Element Nexus & Nightforce NX-8 scopes, though the Cronus is quite a bit larger. A few years ago I ran the Midas Tac on several airguns. While its a good all around scope, my failing eyes simply couldn't get along with the ultra fine reticles.
I tried the G1 Titan scope and did not like it. It was a beast of a scope, and even though it boasted relatively high magnification, it wasn't really usable and gave me an instant headache. I find that most mediocre scopes are best utilized under 75% magnification. I've yet to try the Element Helix, but I've read good things about the price point vs quality & features.
My best airguns run the Nexus G1 & G2, and the NightForce NX-8's. So I will compare these for you:
Regarding the glass of the Nexus G1 & G2 I can't tell any difference. They are both really good, and the edge to edge clarity is outstanding even at maximum magnification. The illumination is great (red only) and there is no bleeding on either model. The G2 does offer more magnification, and superior turrets and controls. The parallax on these scopes demands more precision, and the eye box is pretty tight at the highest magnifications. The reticles are crisp, though a bit on the thinner side. For my eyes this is a non-issue (so long as the eye bell is properly focussed). The G1 is selling at a great price and is a great scope, but the G2 is simply better.
The NX-8's also have great edge to edge clarity throughout the magnification range. The illumination is great (red & green) and there is no bleeding. The turrets have a great tactile feel, better than the Nexus G1, but not as good as the Nexus G2. The parallax and the eye box on these scopes are more forgiving. The reticles are crisp, though a bit on the thicker side.
The older I get the more selective I get with my optics. When I shoot I typically spends hours behind the glass. If a scope isn't easy to use, doesn't make me happy, or gives me a headache, you'll probably see it in the Classified section
