    Huben 2 things I dont like about my GK1

    Resources Field target is an arms race price test

    "Also, why would you leave your gun in direct sunlight Dan?" I wouldnt. I should have more fully explained why I said that: having the varied quality of guns affected by heat then testing may show temp related shifts. Id expect the "better quality" gun to show less them than the lower cost...

    Temperature and available light(edit) and scope mounts. Which affects your scope more?

    I have an adjustable pointer for my scope I got years ago (dont remember now who I got it from) but as the scope shifted you could account for that by moving the pointer up or down some. Works great IF you understand how much the scope shifts and how much to move the pointer.

    Tuning Pinty tune Question

    Fill pressure, reg setting, ambient temps, and a boat load of other factors will affect this. Yes, you likely CAN tune it a bit better, but IMO there's a point of diminishing returns. Might be a cold winter's day kinda project :)

    Are glass optics becoming obsolete?

    First thing that has to happen is we have to change our "perception" of what a scope looks like. As in, no more round tubes approximating .current scope footprints. It will happen, wont be cheap at first, but look at how much the current offerings have come down since we first started seeing...
