    >Riflescope Recoil Ratings

    Steven K. Ledin, April 9, 2008

    A customer asked the other day for recoil ratings on a few different scopes. For the most part, there aren’t any. Some manufacturers will say that they take “1000 thumpings with a .375 H&H”, or rated to .454 Casull, but this is largely marketing hype. What is the weight of the gun? Who determines what recoil factor this is? Manufacturers also do not test for recoil the same way. The best way to determine recoil resistance of a scope without bells and whistles is price and reputation. Why do most rifles in gun magazines wear a few certain brands of

    >2008 Training Schedule

    Steven K. Ledin, March 31, 2008

    OpticsPlanet strives to furnish constant, meaningful product education for our sales/customer service agents and other related job titles in an effort to provide a better understanding of our products. This relates directly to the experience our customers get when ordering, and it’s my job to see that this happens. Our Senior Product Specialist, Jne, will teach some non-gun-related classes, and as a professional educator, we use her classes as a template for others. Ryan will teach a couple, and the balance goes to me. This is what it looks like so far:

    Binoculars 101

    >My Favorite Boresighters

    Steven K. Ledin, March 24, 2008

    There are two boresighters I prefer over all others. The best unit ever made so far in my opinion is the fantastic Leupold Zero Point Magnetic boresighter. The lit reticle feature isn’t required, but can be useful. The magnetic boresighters do not require a target for a laser to reflect off or an arbor of the correct size to insert into a muzzle, and are every bit as accurate. Remember, a boresight is simply to get you onto paper when shooting so you can sight in with the loads you want to use at your particular distance. I use

    >Vortex Optics

    Steven K. Ledin, March 14, 2008

    Some of you may already know Vortex Optics because of the excellent advertising campaigns they’ve been up to. It’s hard not to notice the great full-page ads in most of the hunting magazines introducing their riflescope lines. Vortex binoculars are well respected in birding circles, and Field and Stream voted a Vortex binocular as a best buy earlier in the year. I’m looking forward to wringing out a couple Vortex riflescopes this season, and I’m expecting very good things out of them. Many of their products are argon purged, and all carry a no questions asked lifetime warranty.
