EP 150: Instructors Corner | Understanding Optics

LRU Instructor Ian Miner Sits down with Aaron Davidson to discuss the many details of a quality optic. They cover, at length, how rifle scopes are designed and assembled, not only at Revic but across the industry. They dive deep into some of the design choices that manufacturers make. They also cover how those choices affect the customer. If you need help sorting through all the marketing hype in the optics world this podcast is for you.

I believe tye tapping the turrets or smaking the scope methods we were taught back in the day was mainly due to over torqued rings.

Loved the video.
Id like to see a video on custom rifles/diminishing returns. Like what are you getting/paying more for in say an 8k or 14k rifle or rifle system vs a 2k or 4k rifle or rifle system.

[@long-range-eliminator]

Wow amazing video and knowledge.

To me 1st is only way to go. Don't matter if it's at 100 on 15 power or 500 on 25 power !

Could you expand upon what you meant regarding using yards over mil/moa at the 1:36:00 mark? Are you suggesting that for hunting you prefer bdc reticles, or point blank zeroes?
I’ve found that without a gun mounted LRF providing elevation holds, the best way to get shots off quickly is a hybrid use of a PBZ and speed drop. For example, say you have a speed drop number of 1.5, I dial up 0.5 for a decent pbz between 0 and ~250m and subtract 2 mils from my range/100 for holds past 250m out to the max effective speed drop range.

Mil scopes coming?
