New Century Target Numbers

[hitchphil]

I found the new target numbers very hard to read in low or flat light thru the foresight & was having to check i was on the right target multiple times even the board colour wasnt as clear - are we going to see lots more xshots at this years Imperial?

Q jokes about my eyesight I guess! & yes

At least there are numbers now, on Butt 19 a lot of the targets had no numbers at all. It was quite a challenge when shooting snaps at 400 yards to work out which was yours.

Or a Scott Riles. Arguably better made, more versatile, and available in the UK.

Once the sun is higher in the sky and not glaring directly onto the boards it might not be so bad.

Really? which part?

The "arguably better made" part, I've seen and handled both and have a Stallings so I'm probably bias.

The "arguably better made" part, I've seen and handled both and have a Stallings so I'm probably bias.

Likewise, but I have 3 Riles sights (so maybe biased the other way tongueout ), but - I've seen more than one example of very poor machining on Rightsights and, until now, have never heard an opinion other than the Riles being better made (which is, of course, somewhat subjective, although I've certainly not seen or heard of any example of poor machining or finishing of a Riles). Perhaps Stallings have ironed-out these problems though. They are doubtless both capable products that do what they say on the tin. Other things I like about the Riles product include compatibility with accessories from other manufacturers (like Gehmann and other tubes/shades, HPS rain protector system etc.), and the flexibility to mount 30mm, 22mm or 18mm systems on the same barrel attachment (e.g. to use existing 18mm iris/lens/tubes etc. for an extra backup system). I also like the ability to rotate the lens, so you can adjust it such that the deviation of the point of aim is purely in the vertical plane, so there is no change in wind zero when switching between foresights (or when removing the lens, e.g. in heavy rain/fogging) - if I recall correctly the Rightsight lens is located by a stud, so you are stuck with the deviation you get (it does, at least, locate repeatably though). What I don't like is the tendency to unscrew accessories on the front with barrel inertia, requiring thread lock to prevent (which makes it more difficult to remove and clean the lens) and marking an index to detect any rotation. I wish they could put a left-hand thread on the front, but then the accessory compatibility would be lost.

Not experienced any of the problems mentioned with mine and it is fitted with a European from aperture. It also came with sun shades, rain guard, level and spare mounting block. I'm sure that both manufactures listen and act on feedback from customers as the market is so small.

I already got an RPA 22mm wind sock on it! ...... now ur suggesting i fit a mortar tube?
