Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'nipple twister' test for rifle scopes?

The 'nipple twister' test, credited to Cyclops Joe, involves rapidly and extensively spinning the windage and elevation turrets of a scope for 20-30 seconds to test its internal mechanism's ability to maintain reticle stability and return to zero.

How does the AcuVista Surge 1-10x24 perform in turret stress tests?

In the 'nipple twister' test, the AcuVista Surge 1-10x24 demonstrated excellent performance. The reticle remained stable during aggressive turret manipulation, and the optic successfully returned to its original zero point afterward.

What does FFP mean for a rifle scope like the AcuVista Surge 1-10x24?

FFP stands for First Focal Plane. In an FFP scope, the reticle is positioned before the magnification lens, meaning the reticle's size changes proportionally with the zoom level, allowing for consistent holdovers and ranging at all magnifications.

What is the adjustment value per click for the AcuVista Surge 1-10x24 turrets?

The AcuVista Surge 1-10x24 features turrets with an adjustment value of 1/2 MOA (Minute of Angle) per click. This means each click moves the point of impact by approximately half an inch at 100 yards.
