scope specifications
Hi Nemo What sort of specifications are you needing? Most 4x scopes have very similar specs. There are variations in % light transmission, but those are mostly numbers games for the sales people. The human eye has a hard time seeing light transmission differences that are less than 10% difference (i...

4x Scope for 10m airgun
In regard to Nemo's question about a 4x scope to shoot airgun at 10m, I have to assume that it will be on a pneumatic gun, not spring. There are a number of good quality scopes that can be set to 10m parallax. Such a scope should have the objective lens in a threaded mount screwed into the objective...

It has the actual barrel mounted ahead of the air cylinder, so follow through is really critical, but if you can hold it still as you break the shot it will shoot 10's all day. Many world records set by it when it first appeared. The trigger is fully adjustable and reall...

LGR seal life
My LGR was a 1982 model. It had the larger (Anschutz-size inserts) front sight and the angled rear sight with large knobs. The angled bottom corner of the rear sight housed the spring plunger to maintain tube tension against the adjusters. I replaced the seal about 2 years ago, and have not replaced...

Iris stopping up and down when looking through the sight
I believe ShootingSight is correct. The eyes work together and try to have same-size pupils. In indoor shooting, the light is usually dimmer than outdoor, so the pupils are large to start with. When you look through the sight you will see the aiming eye change in response to the non-aiming eye being...
