Why don't you use a resolution chart like the USAF 1951 you. Also a brightness test with the scope looking a a white sheet and using a light meter, the accuracy of the E/W adjustments and reticle notwithstanding These are the most important aspects of scope quality

Nice vid man! Where was this located? I think Phoenix Rod and Gun club? I’m planning to try my first match there next month.

What optic did you installed on the MTR?

If I choose to hold over, what is an average parallax setting, or is that still dialed each time?

Hey man , shoot me an email . You can find it on my about section

Good plan and nice setup. Does it allow enough alignment adjustment in the x,y,z to allow measurement of eye box size? That would be useful info.

Awesome! Not in the market for a new scope right now, but I'll watch! 👍

Different approach than most other suggestions as my focus would be on specific scope classes. Like is there something thats comparable to the og MATCH PRO for base class but includes .2 mil hash marks instead of the normal .5 and such like that.

tracking. Some way to compare clarity, light gathering, paralax... I think tracking and paralax effects would be tops on my list

Brilliant. And your effort is appreciated.

You need a geared head on your tripod. That way you can dial windage and elevation to get the scope perfect and level. It also needs to be stable enough that you can turn the turrets and the scope or base does NOT move at all. That awesome camera should REALLY help to give a great image.

Rig looks like something a cartoon villain would use to shrink people or something.

One thing that is important to me, that I don’t think I’ve ever seen a reviewer mention, is the ability to distinguish between the target and a noisy background whenever the parallax is not dialed perfectly. In other words, if I’m dialed for a 40 yard target and transition to a 95 yard target, could I still take the shot without having to adjust parallax. Not sure exactly how to measure that, but it is a big issue for competitive shooting and I’ve never seen any reviewer address it.

Main thing I would be interested in seeing is the reticle at 12x vs 18x. Some reticles look great on the manufacturers website but are too fine at 12x to make out the sub tensions. Other's are too chunky at higher magnification for shooting a 1/4" KYL at 75 yards. Glass quality and box tests are a given, but I don't see many people showing what the reticle looks like at the magnifications we use for competitions.

What bag stop / barricade stop are you using?

Parallax at 25 and under. Fov at min magnification. Fov at max and maybe a few in between. Mirage at min/max. Depth of field at min and max and midway between. Dof thinking about how sensitive parallax is between a 75 and 150 target for example. I.e how parallax free could you stay on a troop line with a 100yd spread

You have really upped the anti on scope reviews if this works! I have really enjoyed your other videos! Looking forward to watching the future reviews!

Brilliant idea!

I like the thought you have put into this, the "target" down range is an optical target. Maybe the color "mirage" around the reticle and at the edge of the scope, Maybe how well it tracks at 100 yds? Not just elevation but also windage.

Looking forward to it.

Hi, I recently subscribed to your channel and love your work. Thank you for asking - I would love to see scope reviews that actually show that you can see the bu!!et hole on a paper target. (Not with a go pro or a sporting scope ) I purchased some scopes before prior to doing YT research and took advice from the shop. As an example a 3-9x40 is good enough for 100y with a 22lr. However, on a white piece of paper I actually can not see the small hole in the paper. I then had to get spotting scope just to see where I was in relation to the bullseye. Eventually I would like to upgrade all of mine. I actually just did 1 of them and went with a zerotech 4.5-18x40 and I can finally see the holes on the paper target. Not great but good enough on a 100. So in short every scope review shows that you can plink a metal target with this sort of scope and that sort of rifle but no one ever then shows if you (can’t hear the impact (on metal) can you see the hole to see where on the target you ended up. I understand past 200 yards this may be an issue unless you have $2000 scope maybe but I guess reviews like you are about to do would confirm this in your findings. Peace and well done again for an awesome channel. From the land down under 👍

Hey man cool setup . Man if you can give me a shout .

I like this idea for practice. Might have to give it a try.

Great shooting. Thank you for the video, helps me a lot since I’m a NRL, PRS rookie. Not always sure when to dial, and when to hold over. Great looking rifle, what chassis are you running?

Thanks so much for the custom targets and explaining how it works. This will be a great training tool! BTW I get so much information from watching your videos. Thanks again.

When I’m in a low kneeling position like you at 9:30, I get a lot of heartbeat bounce. How do you overcome that?

Amazon Canada... for all us northerners... $73CAD... so about $55 USD.... great tool, but not worth the $ / value compared to other tools Thanks for the info... for $15 USD = for sure.

This really is brilliant!!

Wwhere is this at? Ben Avery? I did hear the RO mention Ben Avery, so I'm guessing this isn't Ben Avery

Are you in ouray Colorado? Saw your logo on a front license plate

That's a great idea for training or challenges.

Being new to the game, I'm always looking for better ways to improve. This is freaking awesome exercise. Thanks for putting it out there.

If you measure this and find that the difference does make a difference in accuracy do you then batch the ammo accordingly? Then if so would you make the changes with bolt shims verses barrel shims for a quicker fix? I have heard this for years and I have even when loading for high power competition we would weigh each bullet, case, etc. to all match our desired needs. We did see a difference in our 600 yard shots…not so much on 300 in.

Nice job

Would ammo velocity change holds?

Good challenge im currently using moa tho until i can get a mill scope

Love this idea. Ready for my next practice session.

Brilliant idea! I know what I'll be doing at my next trip to the range.

Can you beat my score? NOW AVAILABLE IN MOA AND MRAD VERSIONS: Download your target here: www.patreon.com/CopperStarPrecision

Looks like its time to sacrifice some match ammo

I could not find your website to download the targets. could you please post the link. thanks

Man that is some Awesome Stuff!!

I see a rematch in the near future 😁. Shots on paper are great training. Thanks Cyrus!

Love it will have to give this a try. Thanks. Very good practice for hold overs

It's not hard to measure and figure it out the correct distance, but putting "50 Yards" on the PDF would be an improvement. Cool idea. I'm definitely going to try it!

This is brilliant! I really need this as I never trust holding over during a COF, I always dial.

10 Shots 10 Positions 5 Holds ( Unique each shot) 90 Sec Par time off of a pyramid or ladder going for 80%. Yeah copper star. I'm gonna run. That and post. Should be fun.

Looks like fun, I'll have to try it this weekend... but I'm a MOA guy it just "clicks" for me.

Just got to shoot this C.O.F. today. My 2nd match ever and the movement was a challenge for sure. I did manage to nearly double my score from my 1st match and probably would have if I hadn't stepped the bed on the tower and barrel stage.
