    Doing a tall target test, as well as a return-to-zero square for ANY scope is well worth doing if you are going to be shooting further than simple hold-over ranges.
    Only one scope brand that you don't have to do a tall target test on eh EBF!

    Haha. Bro, even the mythical NF scopes can me mounted skew... That one is more a test of the installer getting it level than the turrets being accurate

    Hey ebf yes they can be mounted skew but you never ever have to do a tall target test on any to confirm the elevation correction factor.
    Apparently one of the very few brands in the market that does not need it.
    This info is from the people that actually do this work testing high end optics for military use.

    Your fanboy is showing. yes they are close but the data clearly shows they are not perfect. And its not just a one off, its shows across multiple scopes and models.
    data shows your better to buy a kahles if perfect dialing is whats needed. even the old older 6-24. Not a kahles fanboy-dont plan to buy one either. correcting a dialing error is easy a shifting zero not so much.

    Phil243 would choose to differ how well his kahles scope works.

    exactly even the best brands have faults other wise we wouldn't need a warranty's. Just no point pushing just one brand as being so much better than everything else and all guns must have a nf on then or your just wasting your time. im sure there's even people out there that arn't completly happy with a tangent theta.
