EP 195: Revic RH2 Reticle Design

This video explores the declining popularity of Low Power Variable Optics (LPVOs), detailing their initial appeal as all-in-one solutions for both close and distant engagements. It highlights key drawbacks including added weight, reduced speed at close range compared to red dots, potential eye fatigue, and the practical consideration of whether their magnification is truly necessary for an individual's typical shooting environment. The speaker suggests offset red dots as a potential alternative for certain use cases.

This video provides an expert-level comparison of First Focal Plane (FFP) and Second Focal Plane (SFP) rifle scopes, presented by Ryan Cleckner of Gun University. It details how reticle size changes with magnification in each type and offers practical advice for choosing between them based on shooting applications like hunting versus precision target shooting. The explanation highlights the advantages of FFP for accurate reticle measurements at all magnifications, while SFP offers cost benefits and better low-light visibility for hunting.

This guide breaks down the differences between First Focal Plane (FFP) and Second Focal Plane (SFP) rifle scopes, as explained by an experienced firearms instructor. It covers how reticle size changes with magnification, the accuracy of subtensions at different zoom levels, and provides recommendations based on shooting distance and application, from long-range competition to close-quarters hunting.

This guide details the critical differences between First Focal Plane (FFP) and Second Focal Plane (SFP) rifle scopes, emphasizing how FFP reticles scale with magnification for consistent holdovers at any power. Practical demonstrations on an outdoor shooting range highlight the point-of-impact shift common in SFP scopes versus the stability of FFP. The video also showcases the tactical application of an FFP scope with a BDC Distance Lock reticle for rapid engagement.

This guide details the installation and zeroing process for the Monstrum Tactical Challenger 6-24x50 FFP scope, emphasizing its Flat Dark Earth finish and features like a zero stop, locking windage turret, and side parallax adjustment. The speaker, an experienced shooter, highlights the scope's value for long-range shooting and its smooth zoom lever, a refinement over previous generations. Proper mounting, parallax adjustment, and turret manipulation are covered for achieving accurate zero at various distances.

This guide details the practical field testing of the Vector Optics Continental 1-10x24 LPVO, emphasizing its performance in realistic scenarios beyond static range tests. Instruction from an experienced shooter highlights key evaluation criteria like optical clarity, eye relief challenges, and illumination effectiveness, providing actionable insights for users considering this optic for versatile applications.

This guide details the advanced technique for executing a long-range elk hunt, as demonstrated by a 12-year-old hunter under expert supervision. It emphasizes precise range estimation, scope adjustment using ballistic turrets, and marksmanship fundamentals for a successful shot at extreme distances (1376 yards). The process highlights the importance of preparation, practice, and specialized equipment for challenging hunting scenarios.

This expert guide from Gunwerks demonstrates the significant impact of the Coriolis effect on long-range bullet trajectory. Jeremy Winters, a Gunwerks Product Specialist, explains how Earth's rotation can shift Point of Impact (POI) by over 1 MOA at 1000 yards when shooting East or West. The video provides a live-fire demonstration and recommends shooting North or South to collect accurate ballistic data, minimizing Coriolis-induced errors.

This guide details the process of transforming a factory Remington Model 700 Sendero into a more capable long-range rifle, as demonstrated by Mike Davidson from Gunwerks. Key steps include a trigger upgrade to a 2-pound pull and a precision bedding job using Devcon Aluminum Putty to ensure action stability. The process emphasizes proper disassembly, careful application of bedding materials, and correct reassembly with specific torque values for action screws.

This video demonstrates a professional long-range coyote hunt in Montana, showcasing the effective use of a Gunwerks rifle. Dustin Butler, a representative for Gunwerks, highlights the 'range, dial, and kill' method for successful predator engagement at various distances, from close encounters to over 500 yards. The guide emphasizes proficiency with long-range optics and equipment for accurate shots in challenging terrain.
