LH or Symmetric Grips for High Standard 102 Citation

I need LH or Symmetric Grips for High Standard 102 Citation, slant grip.

Which scope?

I am buying my first high power scope for target use only. It will be either 6-24x50 or 8-32x50+. I have narrowed the choice down to Nikon or Sightron. I want fine crosshairs and Sightron does not offer them in the 6-24x50. Nikon has an 8-32x50+ but the windage and elevation adjustments are very lim...

Can I do it?

This is all very helpful, but the bottom line is that I want a scope where I can consistently get reticle and target focus sharp and parallax = 0. I'll use any method that works.

what is reticle focus?

The reticle is "in focus" when the image of the reticle on the retina is sharp. But, the lens in the eye is flexible and changes from thick to thin to be able to focus on objects near to far. So, where should the focus of the lens of the eye be when the ocular is adjusted? Infinity? If so,...

Still open

Justin Tracy[/quote] Assuming the reticle is focused properly, target focus and parallax adjustment are the same thing. Parallax is eliminated when the image of the target is focused on the reticle, so focusing the target eliminates parallax. I think people run into issues with this by not having th...

Does this scope exist?

I do intend to use the scope on a .22 rifle. Even inexpensive ones like the Czeck (about $400 and change) will hold 1" groups at 100yds. So, 1/2 MOA of parallax error is very significant. I'll try an HP rifle forum, but I think I have a pretty good idea of the problem. I think that makers build...

You might try playing with this: http://www.rimfirecentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=94809&highlight=parallax+adjustment That's very helpful for those who own a "non-parallax adjustable" scope. I am buying a new scope and want to use it at different ranges and on different rifles. I...

focus parallax

On the Nikon Monarch and the Sightron SIII scopes, parallax and focus are the same knob. What happens if best focus and zero parallax are not at the same position of the one knob? Do you get to choose one or the other?

Re: X Ring diameter...

...IIRC, is ~1.6 inches. Any shot touching the ring is considered "in". So if the ring is 1.6" and bullet diameter .22 inches, two hits 1.82 (1.6 + .11 + .11) inches center to center would be considered in the X ring. Therefore, an X ring group is equivalent to a 1.8 inch (approx 1 7...

Cheers,

I assumed it was 5 shots in the X ring. But, what is the size of the ring?

Re: TENEX

Greetings, Every lot of TENEX I have tested shot ten X groups at 50 yards from a quality pistol barrel. Naturally, some lots shot smaller ten X groups than others. Still, when I buy a box of TENEX, I feel confident it will shoot a ten X group at 50 yards. Dave What is a "ten x group"?

New Pardini

I bought a new Pardini SPBE. As delivered, the take-down screw was loose. I did not notice this until I went to clean it the first time. The screw was VERY loose. Subsequently I have tested the gun at 50yds. in a Ransom rest. With Eley Tenex Pistol, I got disappointing results: (Average of 6, 5 shot...
