Hi Skylar...great post.

Unless I missed it, I didn't see any reference to what folks call the 'eyebox'.

Can you provide us your (or the industry's) definition and explain why it is important. Also why it can vary from scope to scope and the effect magnification (on variable scopes) has on the eyebox depth.

It is a feature not often discussed.

Thanks,

Flint.

The eyebox is apart of the optical path. Now this can be greatly affected by the magnification one is using.

What I mean by that...is, on high magnification the eye box is more critical and more sensitive. Because on high power, if you have any slight head movement, you will lose sight of the field of view, due to the eye box being blacked out.

Scopes with lesser magnification are not subjected to this being as sensitive and are more forgiving. Meaning you will still have some sight picture or field of view.

I agree. Thanks!

Sometimes we forget that there are people new to this, and are just learning some of the stuff we take for granted. And that we were there at one time as well.

Another great tool is YouTube. Videos of "experts" reviewing equipment and teaching the very same type of things that Skylar just went to all the trouble to explain to everyone. Thanks again!

I have been looking for a break down of definitions like that for a while now. Where did you get all of the definitions?

I have been working in this business for nearly ten years. However many of the terms and definitions are provided from the manufacture.

Athlon MOA scope reticles are listed as ATMR IR and MILs are listed as APMR IR...what do those mean?

I think this will help a lot of folks, including myself. Very simply laid out and easy to understand. Thanks Skylar!

I know a little about Athlon, but not a great deal. What product line are you looking at?

Something I've never seen written up - location or recoil lugs for picktinney rail. Touching front or back. Or does it make a difference.

I think that anything stacked on the action should be pushed toward the muzzle until the slack is removed then locked down. Otherwise it may slide forward during recoil.
