However, this red dot is different than almost every other optic available on the market. The scope is compact, and uses a red dot aiming reticle. Without variable magnification, there is less moving parts, so the scope is more durable. This allows you to select exactly how much magnification you need, from 1.5 to 6 magnification power. I have no idea if one would make you less sensitive to astigmatism than another - but - it's an awesome question for you eye doc, and, it would be a very good idea for you to bring one or two relfex sights to show the doc.However, from the manufacturer, there are multiple magnification levels available. You certianly can tell the difference between an inexpensive one and high end one if you spend time looking through them allot - most people dont. These optics have stronger metalic coatings that take more abuse, and, provide less glare. Most of the additional cost in these better reflex sights are the size of the lenses and coatings. You need to get some hands on time before buying. You didnt mention your age - but - from your discription, the days of you buying a scope or sight over the internet are over. That - and as you get older, the eye are the first to go. I would recommend you ask around and see if you can find a doc that is also a shooter - and you will probably find them more responsive to your needs. Today - my new doc is also a shooter, and, when I explain to him exactly which part of the lens I use for shooting, he has tweaked my perscription. When I lived on Kodiak - I was lucky the local eye doc was also a high power rifle shooter and set me up with a set of glasses specifically for shooting. After I shoot, I rotate it back to his position. When I shoot my friend's Tac Ops Echo with his S & B 5X25X56 P II, I have to rotate the diopter(eyepiece) 1/4 turn or so to get the crosshair in focus for me. Just remember,the diopter focus for your eye will be different than your Buddy's eyesight. You may have done this already, but I thought I'd take a chance and ask. I adjusted it until he could see the crosshair clearly. I looked through his scope and the diopter(crosshair focus ) was way out of focus. He wasn't getting good groups and didn't know what was wrong. I was helping a shooter on our team one morning. DON'T LOOK AT THE WALL! LOOK AT THE CROSSHAIR.Īfter adjusting the crosshair focus, You can then move the scope to a distant target and then adjust your TARGET focus with the focus knob on the scope at the 9 O'clock position. You look at your crosshair only and focus the diopter on the eyepiece (rotating it clockwise or counter clockwise) until the crosshair is in focus. To properly focus your crosshair for your eye, you look throught the scope at a blank white wall. Reticle focus and target focus are two different things. Have you properly focused the diopter adjustment for the crosshair properly? Some people don't know how to do this. Bad thing is I am right handed and my right eye is the bad eye. I cannot get a focused target, reticle and be parallax free. If I adjust for focus my parallax goes out. If adjust for parallax my focus goes out. Have you tried different diopter settings on the eyepiece? Try to focus the crosshair, not the scene behind it.įGMM= Federal gold medal match (168gr. Two sets of crosshairs? That is sometimes what astigmatism looks like when out of focus (I have very weak astigmatismin one eye). I usually shoot a group of five to get reproducible group sizes. How many shots in your group? For just three shots the difference between 1" and 2" may not be statistically significant. What model scope do you have mounted on that bad boy? Does it have adjustable objective (AO) focus? Im pretty sure my technique is solid but I am open for suggestion.īased on your response, I agree that technique is looking less likely. I did look through and Acog and it was very clear but the right side faded off. I can adjust it out but it comes back so I stopped trying. I see two sets of crosshairs at the center even with glasses. I taught my neighbor how to shoot using my techniques and he shot sub moa on the second 5 rd group. I am very comfortable shooting and never slap the trigger. He grouped my handloads at 1" while I was grouping my handloads at 2"īottom line is my rifle was sandbagged for both of us and rock stable. My neighbor, who has no experience and who has never fired my rifle, shot a 3/4 inch group with FGMM. I can group my handloads at 1-1.5 inch sometimes followed by 2-3" the next group doing the exact same thing. My trigger is a Geissle Match set to less then 1lb. I can on occasion shoot sub 1/2 inch groups.
