is Alex' scope checking thread gone?

[dcali]

If someone sends me the data, I’d be happy to post it as an article on bisonballistics.com. A write up on how it’s done and a few pictures would be helpful too. Part of the problem is that an Internet forum is a lousy way to store data.

@AlloyTargets may be doing an article as well

Thank you for that!

Thank you for that!

Thank Boyd. He did the hard part.

Thank Boyd. He did the hard part.

You are right, I'm seeing that now, after rereading this whole thread!

So...

Thank you Boyd!

One thing that came up (I think) towards the end of the original thread was a post about how to go about doing this sort of checking *without* a frozen scope, since those seem to be in pretty limited supply. Something about testing two scopes, see if one moves... if it does, swap in a third to see if it was the first or second scope that moved, until you have one 'known good' reference optic. Is that about right? Or does someone have the original thread commentary stashed somewhere and can look?

See the REAL problem all along has been un-PC verbiage.......

As I've been told by countless "moderators" in my illustrious career, "Al, you have to be NICER!"...."We like your findings but you must PRESENT IT NICELY"...... "be honest, but be tactful" and "we love you but you need to temper your honesty"..... and blahh and blahhh and BLAHHHH.......

So here ya are..... out in the field sweating blood, DOING THE WORK cuz nobody else will..... and ya' write down the thing that comes to mind..... "junk"


LOL!

Well..... screw-em-all.....GOOD ON YA' ALEX!!!

Thank You for doing the work.

sincerely

Having a straight shooting rifle & ideal conditions can help if u don't have a frozen scope. Get them printing near POA, but not on it. Shoot six or 8 3 shot groups alternating which scope u use to aim. The sizes & shapes of the groups should help you determine what’s going on. I do this at 50 yards. It won’t help much if your problem(s) are tiny, but if it’s moving 1/8 MOA or more over a series, it should.

I planned on starting my data collection for documenting a procedure today. Unfortunately, weather & time didn’t cooperate. Too much mirage & ran out of time after getting my buddies’ hunting rifles squared away. I’m gonna get it done, just not sure when.

Patiently waiting with bad breath.

This took quite a bit of time to put together. Use it as you will. I am trying a new file sharing service, so bear with me. I may have to do some fiddling to get it so that it works.

I'm getting nude Asian girls popping up on this link, not that I mind or anything lol.

I am very interested in testing my scopes. I've heard of a Hood scope checker. Are there any others on the market? Also who freezes scopes?

Cecil Tucker and Bob Brackney.

Well it happened. I went back to check my link one more time and my antivirus blocked it. I am pulling that post.
