    Athlon Ares ETR UHG 3-18x50 34 MM Mrad in FFP with IR

    Athlon continues to impress me for what it makes at the price point it gives us. I continue my quest (obsession) to find the worlds greatest HFT scope for ranging at 16X. I am currently waiting on a 6" round parallax wheel for this scope, but my initial workup on the bench has me totally...

    The SPREAD = parallax wheels comparison

    I am finally doing a comparison of a few popular scopes used for field target. The pictures will show you how far apart in degrees a given scope spreads out the ranging or distance calibration numbers from 10-55 yards.

    Light direction and ranging accuracy

    Of recent I’ve been experimenting with how the direction of sunlight affects target faceplate ranging Accuracy. This issue affects the shooter - regardless of how expensive their scope is. What I’ve learned may seem obvious to old timers, but it’s new to me, so I thought I’d share this...

    RAW Rapid TM1000X Benchrest .22 with Benchmark Barrel

    Via some Wheeling and Dealing i procured a very nice OLD school thimble style TM1000X with what i think is a Benchmark Barrel.

    Resources Field target van for travel
