Mice! Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 It's an Optisan EVE 4-16x44pi with the NMH10 ret, I don't fully understand the ret yet, But I'll read the manual again a few times and use it, I wanted it for the glass and the mag having read up on the scope, but I didn't want the EVX because I don't dial. The scope is lovely and clear but a little sensitive on head position, the ret is really clear, especially when I've been using the Simmons for a good while now. This is my first 30mm scope, so needed new mounts and I went for Sportsmatch HTO36C high mounts to suit the BSA rail. I could probably have got away with mediums, but I've got a massive swede and I like to be able to get my thumb between the scope as this is often how I pick it up. This is also my first SF scope, it's certainly a lot easier than reaching for the front of the scope! I took a while getting everything set up, I don't like the bipod but it came in handy for this. Seemed strange taking the Simmons off as its a great hunting scope. So onto some shooting, I was sat at the patio doors shooting off the workmate, not ideal, the gun was supported but my right elbow wasn't resting, but there was too much stuff in the garage to shoot where I normally do. Out to 20mtrs was sheltered but 20-35 was blowing left to right with little gusts, the finer ret made a real difference, usually past 25 I can't see the 13mm dots I'm aiming at as the cross hair covers them. Nice having the hash marks to use for hold overs. Happy enough for now but I'll have to shoot again properly rested to see if any fine tuning is needed. Then I'll need to see how I get on in the woods, looking forward to using the IR and seeing how bright the 30mm tube is. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrastu Posted August 6, 2022 Report Share Posted August 6, 2022 Very nice mice .an up grde in scope can sometimes make a huge difference in the accuracy potential of a gun . I got a hawke compact 6 -24 x 50 for my scorp and the quality is amazing even compared to my 6-24 x56 sidewinder . It's also really good for dailing as well as hold over with the amx ret . Enjoy .

Cheers mate, it'll take a bit of getting used to but I'd been on the look out for something at the right price for a while now. Certainly makes a difference having that bit more mag. 1 minute ago, old man said: Should be good out to 800yds bud? 😀 Enjoy. 800yds 🤣🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
