Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By hoody2shoez: What? The diopter should never be messed with once it's set. I'm not sure what you're asking You can fine tune diopter at different magnification. Generally on a ffp reticle, people go to highest magnification to tune in the diopter. But some people prefer to tune LPVO at 1x because of use case. I believe on ffp the optimal diopter setting *could* be different from high to low magnification. I'm not saying this should be a setting that you'd mess with like parallax. Make your choice and lock it down. But you do have a choice. |

I misunderstood-it sounded like you or whomever that was directed at was asking if the diopter should be messed with like a parallax adjustment would be To answer the question-i haven't had to fine tune anything-its the same throughout the entire mag range. HOWEVER- I have 20/20 in my left and 20/15 in my right. If I set the diopter with both eyes open, I have to use both eyes open. If I set it with one eye closed, I have to use thr optic with one eye closed. Ymmv |

For my eyes on my atacr, tuning the diopter on 8x detracts some at 1x, mostly the sight picture looses a little “flatness” not much tho. Inversely, tuning at 1x. Gives up a small amount of clarity on 8x, noticeable past 400 or so. I have not seen any reticle bloom/fuzz whatsoever on 1x.
The lpvo’s take a little more time to get them setup to my liking. |

I've been toying with the idea of putting a 4-16x on a 14.5> but everything i've read online is it's too much glass for the caliber. Thanks man! Was going for 416 recce without the HK price tag. So I don’t have a ton of time behind it yet, but I like it. I still need to offset a dot. The nice thing about this optic is the weight. It’s considerably light for what it is so even with it, the rifle isn’t a boat anchor. As pictured with an empty mag it weighs in at 10.5lbs. As far as it being too much glass for the caliber, I think that’s entirely subjective. Depending on how you use your rifle it could absolutely be too much. However, if most of your shooting is done prone or off a barrier or bipod then it’s not really imo. I do say this tho not having the best eyes ever so the magnification absolutely helps at distance. Plus I prefer holds to dialing so Horus is a big win. |

Plus I prefer holds to dialing so Horus is a big win. yeah i think once you get that red dot, you can just keep it dialed up to >6x and use the red dot for 100 and in. I think it's a super versatile set up and the expense of some weight. I am in love with the horus tremor 3. I've been playing with it on the horus simulator and look forward to getting a 4-16x in tremor 3. If it's too much glass, then i'll just be a training gun for .308. |

I'm eventually gonna bring it back flush with the rail once I get an ADM 3 slot riser mount for a standard picatinny bipod. The ADM Mlok QD is too long to have on a 10 inch rail while still having room for hand placement. |

Picked up this 14.5” rosco/aero/
upper this last week to make my mini recce. Stole the scope from the old 3 gun rifle. I didn’t bring the tools to dial in the adjustable gas block so it’s currently bolt action but an incredibly soft shooter. I am debating a 45* red dot and a different comp so I can throw my Rex on there as needed, but made small groups and much cheaper to mess with than my rattler. Plan is to add a good light and grab it any time I need more than 5.5” of 300bo.  Attached FileOld 3 gun rifle at top. Shoots lights out but pushing 13 pounds loaded.  Attached File |
