Best thing I've added to a gun in years!

Kinda wish I stumbled across these earlier.

Taking pictures anyway, thought I'd share some if y'all don't mind.




Looks fine. If it holds up to the magnum break-barrel, it's worth every bit. Which isn't much, under $25 shipped.

Anyway, I like it. Not quite 100% sold on leaving it there, but pretty close. First 50 shots of the day, with the Walther Parrus.

I'm sure this is old news to many of you, but what's your thoughts? Use one yourself? Is it really useful?





Thanks for visiting!

Got one like that back in Feb except it doesn't have the ohhunt name on it. Like it a lot. The flip out feature gets it out past my parallax wheel and is easy to see. For $18.98 on e-bay it seems pretty accurate and I think it was worth it.

I'm no pro at it but I'd double check the level of the scope with a plumb bob, I don't trust the top of a turret.

Defiantly improved my shooting. I tried 1 each of the picatinny rail and scope mounted, the scope mounted was much easier to use as it was at eye level and you didn't have to move your head to read it. I found it useful, bought 3 more for all my rifles.

OK, I'm somewhat new to this, but, what does an angle indicator do? I understand just a level, although I feel it unnecessary, but what are all the little numbers and dial for?

The numbers are degrees of incline/decline. The angles that a lot of farm pest shooters or squirrel hunters run into can affect dope to a large degree.

Agreed, the reticle itself is what needs to be level / plumb. The reticle may sometimes be rotated 2 or 3 degrees relative to the turret caps, even on some premium scope brands. With budget scopes, it’s the luck of the draw.

I started using the Accuracy 1st cant indicators after realizing how much it took to get flat levels to indicate. They say the flat ones take 3-5 degrees, but the ones that I had run prior took somewhere north of that.

Hey, nice shooting! I feel like the walther terrus and parrus have been one of the great deals to be had this year, like the 2018 gamo urban for 199.99, these walthers for 149.99 this year have been cool. I’ve only seen the cosine indicators used in Afghanistan due to the extreme range of shooting at extreme angles down or up a mountain, think of a right triangle, the hypotenuse will vary with angle and height. I feel for a bullpup, those bubble levels can be super useful, but not as necessary on full length rifles(I don’t know why, natural point of aim?)
