A little more on this new scope.

This is the first thread I posted about the scope...

http://www.huntingnet.com/forum/blac...-ml-scope.html

Finally had time to mount the scope on a Remington 700ml (45 cal). I used Weaver bases and Warne QD rings.

The scope is amazing clear, @ $99's the glass can not be the greatest in the world, or may it can be better than I am thinking. It runs from 3 to 10 power very nicely - I can not see nor do I percieve a change in focus. With my eye sight I have the 'fast focus' eye piece turned out about 1/2 way.

Just for drill I asked Terry to measure eye relief for me. I was pleasently surprised. For me with the scope on 3 power Terry measures 4 1/2" and with the scope on 10 power she measured 4 1/8".

Hopefully, I will get a chance to shoot a sight-in target before the end of August - but time is so short and the temp s so hot...

what is the over all length of that scope? It looks long to me. Maybe it is the photo.

It measures 12"...

If you get a chance to look thru the scope at dusk dark/dark, give an opinion of how well it gathers light.

It is almost 9:00 pm here and I just went out on the deck with it and sighted in on the top of a conifer probably 150 yards down range - that shot would not be a problem... Just a sec I'll take my Tikka Win Mag out it has a VXII on it... Dang! I forgot how light the Tikka is, anyway I did not see much difference between the two at all. I could see the limb really well with both.

that is not a bad length. And it sounds like the glass is good. Now the range will be the final factor. Get out there and shoot.

"Get out there and shoot." Dave, that sounds like a good idea.

It is really hot here! to hot to shoot and a little busy also.

Soon as this conversion gets here from Canada, maybe I slip out and shoot a sight in target with this new Remington...
