picked one up for my NF 15-55 comp, do they work better on the shade or with the shade removed and screwed directly to the scope???

I had to try it. Last time out I couldn’t see bullet holes at 300 and if I cranked it down enough to see I still couldn’t see. Lol

Lol, yes there are days like that. There are 2 scenarios to the mirage problem First is shooting the shoot. Turning the power down often helps. In my first year of Br shooting at the PA St Championship at Mainville it was extremely hot and humid, close to 98 degrees. It was I think 100 and 200 or maybe just 200. I shot both days on 22x with my NF BR. All I heard was whining can't see. I could see fine once I go use to seeing a smaller image. I placed second that weekend and could not have been happier if I had won a million dollars. Secondly, once you turn it down it can be hard to see holes. Turn it back up, spot your hole, turn it back down. My Sightron SVED scopes with the dual parallex control help on those days.
Must have been a pretty bad mirage, how it do this time with the reducer ?
Just my 2 cents again but turning down magnification clears the image but the mirage is still there...You just can't see it turned down.

Fred Sinclar was the master shooting in Mirage. He made it very clear mirage was more reliable than wind. Hard to argue with a man that could accel in those conditions.
I just wish I could use it to my advantage the way he did, as far as that goes, I wish I could do all the things Fred did, as well as he did them!

There is a point that a target is oblivious and no seeing thru mirage.
Just 2 weeks back we had our 300 yard UBR match. We had a brief
shower then the sun came out. The second target was a white blob.
I kept dialing back till at least I could bracket the target. I shot a mix
of 10's and 9's and avoided any 8's. When I cleaned the rifle, I checked
the scope setting. I was down on 18 power to shoot those last few bulls.
Yeah really,, i was at the 200-300 UBR Nats and was at 300 it was tough. I shot a crap load of sighters and rely on them pretty heavily.we were shooting 5 bulls per target at 300 and I shot a 50,50 and 52 on 1st 3 targets and the 4th one I couldn’t make out the sighters fast enough to get a record shot off without a condition change and shot an 8 and two 9s on that one target for a 46. T eased up some on the last target and shot all 10s on it for 238.
It didn’t cost me anything as I came in 2nd behind the new 200/300 Agg record holder. If I would have shot five 11s on that target I would have still been 2nd. I was just hoping to be a little better prepared the next time I run into mirage that bad
