Videos tagged with MOA Reticle

This video from Brownells, featuring Caleb, explores the optimal zero distances for an AR-15, primarily for competition use. It analyzes four common zero distances: 25, 36, 50, and 100 yards, detailing their impact zones on an IPSC A-zone target at various ranges. The instructor emphasizes that the 'best' zero is dependent on the intended use of the firearm and the optic employed, recommending the 100-yard zero as a versatile option for experienced shooters, while suggesting 36 or 50 yards for those using red dots or LPVOs respectively, especially for closer engagements.

This guide details the installation and zeroing process for the OSight XR enclosed micro reflex sight, a product reviewed by Moondog. It covers mounting the optic onto an RMR-cut slide and performing live-fire adjustments to achieve a proper zero. The guide also touches upon the unique integrated pop-up rear sights and potential co-witnessing challenges.

This video provides an overview of the InfiRay Mini Thermal Dot, a compact weapon-mounted thermal optic. The instructor demonstrates various features including color palettes (blue, white hot, black hot, yellow hot) and reticle options (color, type, and size like 8 MOA dot and 65 MOA circle). The product is currently in the testing phase, with a full review planned.

This review of the EOTech Vudu 3-9x32 LPVO highlights its utility on AR-15 platforms. The optic features clear Japanese glass, an MOA reticle usable for holdoffs, and a daylight-bright illuminated center. While not a true BDC, its reticle hash marks can be zeroed for specific distances, offering versatility. The reviewer notes its compact size, aluminum forging construction, and smooth magnification adjustment.

This review covers the DNT Optics "The One" 7-35x56 FFP scope, highlighting its features like Japanese ED glass, a 34mm tube, and resettable turrets with a zero stop. The reviewer, from Copper Jacket Arms, provides insights into its performance, including a zero-retention test after abuse and a demonstration of the zero stop functionality. While praising its clarity and value around $600-$660, the reviewer notes minor drawbacks such as the lack of locking turrets and a less forgiving eye relief at 35x magnification.

This review covers the new Discovery Opt XED 6-36x56mm scope, highlighting its first focal plane design, illuminated Christmas tree reticle, and 35mm tube. The presenter emphasizes the scope's improved clarity, forgiving eyebox, and a new tool-free zero stop system with a single large adjustment screw, which simplifies re-zeroing and prevents stripping. The scope was tested on a 5.56 rifle at 50 and 400 yards, demonstrating good performance and clarity even at maximum magnification.

This review details the Monstrum Beast 3-18x50 FFP optic, highlighting its value proposition for budget-minded shooters. The scope features a first focal plane reticle, zero stop, illuminated reticle, and ED glass, offering impressive clarity and functionality for its price point. It's presented as a capable option for varmint hunting and precision rimfire applications.

Joel Park discusses two LPVO setups for training: a Leupold Mark 4 1-6x24 Patrol 6 HD and a Vortex Razor HD Gen II 1-10x24. He highlights the Leupold's integrated zoom lever, good eye relief, and zero stop feature, but notes its reticle illumination isn't daylight bright and it's a second focal plane (SFP) scope. The Vortex Razor 1-10x is a first focal plane (FFP) scope with a superior daylight-bright reticle and a more robust illumination system, though its eye relief is more critical.

This review covers the CVLIFE EagleBlaze 5-25x56mm rifle scope, highlighting its features for long-range shooting. The presenter details the scope's construction, including its 34mm tube, MOA reticle with illumination, and side parallax adjustment. Practical field testing demonstrates its performance on a 5.56 carbine and discusses its suitability for platforms like the AR-10, emphasizing the importance of the zero stop feature for quick return to zero.

This review of the Discovery Optics ED-PRS Gen 2 5-25x56mm scope highlights its improvements over the previous version, focusing on the new MOA reticle and enhanced turrets. The scope features user-resettable turrets with a zero stop, a parallax adjustment from 25 yards to infinity, and integrated throw lever. The reviewer praises the excellent Japanese ED glass for its clarity, sharpness, and color rendition, even at maximum magnification, making it a strong contender in the budget PRS scope market.

This video explores the impact of dot size and reticle options on rifle optics, specifically focusing on fiber optic sights. The speaker demonstrates how different reticle shapes, like a triangle and a circle with a dot, can be used for precise aiming. It highlights that dot size is dependent on the intended use of the rifle, with larger dots suitable for close quarters and smaller aiming points for precision shots. The demonstration includes adjusting a Meprolight M201 combat optic using a bullet casing for windage and elevation.
