This guide details the 'Nipple Twister Test' for evaluating the durability and return-to-zero capability of budget rifle scopes, specifically the Aquilifer EP 5-25x56. The test involves aggressively manipulating the turrets for an extended period and then verifying precise zero return. This method, popularized by content creator Cyclops Joe, is demonstrated by an experienced instructor, highlighting the importance of turret performance in demanding shooting scenarios.

This video explains the fundamental differences between Minute of Angle (MOA) and Milliradian (MRAD) as angular measurement systems used in firearm optics. It clarifies that neither is inherently superior, but rather a tool suited to different shooting styles and preferences. The instructor emphasizes matching reticle and turret systems and provides a framework for choosing between MOA and MRAD based on shooting discipline, personal preference, and current trends.

This video explains Minute of Angle (MOA) as a unit of angular measurement used for precision in shooting. It details how MOA relates to adjustments on optics and the size of shot groups at various distances, emphasizing its importance for accurate aiming and dialing in firearms. The instructor highlights that shooter skill is foundational to achieving tight groups, regardless of equipment.

This video from SHOT Show 2025 highlights Athlon Optics' updated scope lines, including the Argos BTR, Midas Tac, Aries BTR, and Aries ZR. Key improvements across these models focus on enhanced turrets with tactile detents, larger designs, integrated throw levers, and the inclusion of flip caps and sun shades. The Midas Tac also receives a new 5-30 magnification range. Despite these upgrades, Athlon aims to maintain competitive pricing and their signature optical clarity and light transmission.

This review of the Discovery ED-LHT Gen 2 3-15x50mm scope highlights its impressive accessory package and solid optical performance for its price point. The scope features a first focal plane reticle, adjustable parallax down to 15 yards, and tactile turrets with a zero stop. While the eyebox is noted as unforgiving and some chromatic aberration is present at the edges, the overall sharpness and clarity are praised, especially considering its sub-$300 cost. The included scope rings are also well-designed and robust.

This video, part of a "Top 5" series, focuses on the critical role of rifle scope turrets in accurate shooting. It emphasizes the importance of intuitive and user-friendly turret designs to minimize human error, particularly in challenging shooting scenarios like long-range or difficult shots. The content encourages viewers to subscribe to the Gunwerks YouTube channel for more shooting tips, ballistics information, and content related to long and tough shots.

This video, titled "Top 5 Reasons We Miss Series | 5 | Unfriendly Scope Turrets," is the fifth installment in a series focused on common shooting errors. The description indicates a friendly range competition is featured, specifically testing the speed difference between Bullet Drop Compensator (BDC) and Minute of Angle (MOA) turrets. The video promotes Gunwerks Long Range University and encourages viewers to subscribe for content on long shots, shooting tips, DIY projects, and ballistics.

This video demonstrates how to adjust a rifle scope when shooting in an inverted position. The presenter explains that gravity and the scope's over-bore offset cause a shift in the point of impact. Crucially, the scope adjustments are counter-intuitive: to move the bullet impact down, you must turn the turret in the direction that would normally move the impact up. The experiment showed a need to adjust down by two inches when shooting upside down.

This guide synthesizes expert advice from Brass Facts on selecting the best SPR scopes under $1000. It details essential criteria like magnification range, turret functionality, and parallax adjustment. The review compares four specific models, highlighting their strengths in glass quality, reticle design, and turret performance, ultimately providing recommendations based on value and specific user needs.

This review by Mrgunsngear provides an expert-level assessment of the Primary Arms Compact PLx-1-8x24mm FFP Scope. The analysis highlights its advanced features, including the First Focal Plane (FFP) design, versatile ACSS Raptor M8 reticle, and robust construction. The reviewer emphasizes its value proposition compared to high-end competitors, recommending it as a top-tier LPVO for various tactical applications.

This video explains Minute of Angle (MOA) as a unit of measurement for firearm accuracy and optic adjustments. It clarifies that 1 MOA equals approximately 1 inch at 100 yards, scaling proportionally with distance. The content highlights how MOA relates to the size of red dot sights and the click values on scope turrets for making precise adjustments.
