This is a shorter Russian language version of the Ares ETR vs Cronus BTR overview. Cronus: https://alnk.to/apKw2NS Ares ETR: https://alnk.to/6Trmqwo #riflescopes #optics #athlonoptics #athloncronus #athlonares #precisionoptics #precisionrifle

In this video I discuss the differences between two Athlon scopes: Ares ETR and Cronus BTR. The first few minutes are background on both scopes. 5:01 Analysis of the specifications 9:55 Optical Quality 11:40 Durability 15:54 Mechanical Quality 16:55 Turrets 19:20 Final Thoughts www.darklordofoptcs.com These scopes are available in multiple configurations. Here are the two I like: Cronus: https://alnk.to/apKw2NS Ares ETR: https://alnk.to/6Trmqwo #riflescopes #optics #athlonoptics #athloncronus #athlonares #precisionoptics #precisionrifle

A brief discussion of crossover scopes in general with some detail on Meopta Optika6 3-18x50 immediately after, followed by a detailed look at the MRAD1 reticle. Russian language overview starts at ~25:50. https://amzn.to/2NHz0EZ https://alnk.to/dL8V4T2

Here is a look through and initial impressions of the Nexus 5-20x50 riflescope from Element Optics. It is a very impressive first effort for a new company. First two thirds of the video are in English, with the summary in Russian starting at 22:10.

I had a bunch of requests to do an overview of some of the scopes I look at in Russian. This is an attempt to do just that. I had a bunch of annoying camera problems for some reason, but such is life. Please post in the comments which part of the former Soviet Union you are in.

In this video, I touch on the subject of Field of View (FOV) for riflescopes, how it is defined and the differences between Real FOV, Apparent FOV and Perceived FOV.

This is mostly my take on the MD3 reticle (which I happen to like a lot) and some extra commentary on the scope itself. I start out with some general thoughts. My take on the reticle starts at around 55 seconds. At around 6:50 you get some final thoughts on the scope itself.

In this video, we take a look through the SwampFox Optics Kentucky Long 5-30x56 riflescope for a detailed analysis of the reticle and some final thoughts on the image quality, mechanics, build and turret feel. For more information, visit SwampFox website: https://www.swampfoxoptics.com/kentucky-long-series For the latest in future comparisons with the Kentucky Long, keep an eye on www.darklordofoptics.com

Here is a brief "through the scope" look at the SwampFox Arrowhead 1-10x24 SFP riflescope. If you are looking for the most flexibility with an LPVO under $800 or so, I think this is the best option out there right now of all I have seen. https://alnk.to/gzNbOES

In this video I take a look through the Leica PRS 5-30x56 riflescope with PRB reticle. I go into a fair amount of detail on how the scope performs both optically and mechanically with a detailed discussion of the pros and cons of the reticle. Additional information will be up on my website shortly: www.darklordofoptics.com https://amzn.to/2ZcTeLM https://alnk.to/fHdfRU4 #riflescopes #LeicaOptics #LeicaPRS #precisionoptics

Печатаю я по русски плохо, а говорю вполне нормально...

Through the scope view to show you the PRS reticle in Tract's excellent 4-20x50 riflescope.

Brief comparison of beam divergence of Fenix UC35 v2.0 and PD35 TAC flashlights

I brief look at the new FML-TR1 reticle in March's upcoming 5-42x56 FFP High Master riflescope

There are good reasons why for optimal performance the exit pupil of your riflescope should be bigger than your eye pupil

I am comparing a line-up of 50mm objective FFP riflescopes in the $800 to $1500 range. Here is a view of the reticles in the following riflescopes: Brownells MPO 3-18x50, Crimson Trace 5-series 3-18x50, EOTech Vudu 5-25x50, Tract Toric 4-20x50, Meoptas Optika6 3-18x50, Sig Tango6 4-24x50

Final thoughts on a line-up of high end riflescopes from March Optics, ZCO, Tangent Theta, Schmidt and Bender, Vortex, Kahles, Leupold, Minox and Steiner.

Through the scope video showing the reticle with and without illumination. The effects on the edge of the image are the artefact of how the camera lines up behind the scope. They are not there when you look through the scope.

A quick look at several precision scopes with 50mm (or close to it) objectives: March 3-24x52, Tangent Theta TT315M 3-15x50, Nightforce NX8 2.5-20x50, Crimson Trace 5-series 3-18x50, Brownells MPO 3-18x50, EOTech Vudu 5-25x50

Initial impression after spending a couple of weeks with Meopta's new Optika6 5-30x56 riflescope.
