In situations where adjusting a scope's reticle requires a tool, the "screwdriver" referred to in the video is also known across North America as a coin. ;^)

Good luck finding a coin post covid.

Kristin is a great asset. Iron sights add about $50 to a rifle's cost from factory. A few rifle's without sights will come with scope rings/mounts for the same price as the one with sights. Henry long ranger comes to mind. 3-9x40 is probably overkill for most purposes. A 2-7x33 with 1" tube probably better for most people bc it's lighter, less bulky. Picatinny rails add more weight than traditional 2 piece ring mounts and in traditional hinged magazines a rail may interfere with top loading. I don't like the see through mounts bc they add extra height. This may lead to having to get a stock with with a high or adjustable comb to allow for proper cheek to stock. The extra height also puts more stress on the scope as it gets farther from the rifle when firing.

Just clicked on the vid, have yet to watch, but, the most important thing for a deer hunting scope is light transmission, lens coating. The most critical time is early at dawn's first light, or more likely, just before dark thirty, as legal hunting hour ends. This is directed to forested or eastern U.S. hunting in woodlands, not out west in vastness or an eastern power line or gas transmission line easement. If your glass can't let you see them, the distance or caliber is moot. My first hunt, 1958, a retired RR man took me rabbit hunting, my first buck, 1969. Love watching whitetails. I buy every Redfield Denver, U.S. made Illuminator I can find. It's still "the one."

Very true. Good glass is so important. Thanks for the comment.

I was always told to spend as much on glass as on the gun. Great video!

Completely agree .I only shoot leupold what’s the point of a nice rifle with a scope that can’t hold a zero

I wonder where that recommendation came from? I'm guessing the scope companies came up with that.

At least this is more reasonable than spend 2 times the amount on a scope than you did a gun.

No focal plane discussions? This was a great video but feel that would add another layer.

@johnsmith-lx9lw Жыл бұрын

what =any will do just sight in, 4x good or get a rifle with irons, today companies own stock in scopes Co. no rifle is a good shooter unless you have sights.

Why when i keep buying rifle scopes for my rifle it stops zeroing? Is it because i didnt choose the perfect scope for my rifle or is the scope made for other rifles and why when i zero my scope it wont go bullseye in the crosshair it just stops clicks

Buy once cry once. Buy better glass.

There could be more than one reason. Proper scope installation, solid. Marksmanship, not proper gun rest, windy day, ammunition that not doing well in that particular gun, and lastly a cheaply made bad scope that internal parts move each time taking a shot. So there could be a combination of all the above you need to pin point yourself or get help from someone who is professional. My advice is do your homework before buying anymore scopes and settle on which works the best for you. I wasted lots of money, costed me nice bucks before. I learned that a good quality scope is a must . Not recommending anything, but from my homework, Leupolds won’t disappoint you. Currently I’m dealing with the same thing. I should’ve cried once, but here I’m crying twice cuz whatever I bout before is wasted.

Amazing how little information is actually in this video... Basically brings up points that "you need to consider", but doesn't actually give any information on said points.
