Not so worried about the ISSF compliancy issue. I have a standard Gehman 510 (I think that's what it is) adjustable iris, I'm under the impression I need the 579 cylinder to work with that?

Thanks,
Jay

Anybody who has an astigmatism tried the Gehmann non-magnified -5 to +5 diopter? Sure seems like the way to go instead of lenses and frames, but I've never tried one. Any input appreciated>

Jay

Tim,

Totally understand the predicament. This Kowa is just so nice compared to the GYAH I have been using for years, that I can’t help but say nice things about it!

Jay

Tim S wrote "that a Kowa is not in the cards for some time". I can say its some of the best money I've spent lately. I was on my (50 yard) range today, and being Ohio in January, it was gloomy and blowing light snow. The view through that Kowa was amazing.

Jay

Just wanted to thank you guys for the input. I got my Kowa 82SV today, and its super cool. Worth every penny.

Jay

Again, thanks everyone for the input. I’m going to pick up a Kowa 82SV.

Hey guys,

Thanks for all the replies. Seems like the Kiowa 82 SV with the LER eyepiece is the way to go. I noticed that the 82 SV doesn’t have the Florite glass. Big deal, or not?

Thanks,
Jay

Hey All, Need some input on spotting scopes. It’s time for an upgrade from my current POS, and being firmly in the buy once, cry once camp, what are your recommendations? If it matters, I occasionally shoot HP as well, but mostly SB. I was looking at the deal from Creedmoor Sports, the Kowa 82SV wit...

Hey Jamie,

Thanks for the heads up, I’ll take a look. All well with you?

I've built an air rifle range in my basement and am looking for an air rifle. I mostly shoot prone (smallbore and highpower) so I'm looking for something with real sights and an accessory rail for a handstop. The Anschutz 9015 club looks like what I'm looking for. Anybody with experience with one? T...

Ha, I don't know about improved "so much" but certainly improved "somewhat"! Thanks, in part, to your help. It's appreciated.

Jay

Well guys, After getting the T-24 mounted up and sighted in, I believe that the super fine reticle and 1/16th dot are just too fine for my use. I've contacted Cheryl at Optical Services, and Weaver and both told me they don't work on the XR series of Weaver scopes. Any other ideas out there for some...

Hey All, Shot another match yesterday, and while still placing last, wasn't more than a few points behind a couple of pretty good shooters. After the match, I let another guy shoot my rifle, and I spotted through his spotting scope. It's a Celestron (not sure the exact model) with an astronomical ey...

Well I went and bought a Weaver T-24 off EBay. Matte aluminum even. My wife will be proud that I co-ordinated my rifle and scope!

I’m leaning towards the Burris rings to mate up with the rail. For some reason I like the idea of the inserts.

Jay

Very helpful, thanks!

I hear the Anschutz 6811 rail fits the Walther. Is this rail 11mm to 11mm, with the only function being to allow mounting of the scope further forward for eye relief? I ask because finding nice rings that are 11mm seems to be a challenge. Most 11 mm rings (1” tube) seem to be pretty cheesy, low qual...

I shoot sling prone. Finally started to get some decent scores with the irons, but like scopes too.

Jay

Hey guys,

Looking for a scope for my KK500. Would a Weaver T-24 be a good choice?

Thanks,
Jay

Does this pic help explain the OP's question?

Tim S,

If you still can't open this file, its nothing but a pic of a stock KK500 with the sights mounted so the OP can see what the holes are for.

Jay

Figured that might be his work.
