HELLo! Let me be the first one to (officially) thank you for that post, Trinity. This does indeed sound like a very interesting topic, and one I'm highly looking forward to hearing more about.  Happy snipin'! |

You're welcome Hellkeepa. It's ironic. Almost every ad for red dot scopes talks about the fact that one of the big advantages of using their product is that it is parallax-free. The topic of parallax is kicked around endlessly in debates concerning whether a scope or a red dot sight is the best thing to put on a paintball gun, but it's been my experience that not many people really understand exactly what parallax-error is or how a big an impact it will have when it comes to affecting your accuracy as a shooter.
The truth is most players won't care nor, I believe, do they need to. However, if you're the kind of player who uses first strike rounds exclusively, practices shooting so he can tightening up his shot groups, knows where his rounds will impact at any given distance, and inspects every round before it goes in a mag. to make sure the fins aren't chipped or out of round then the subject of parallax-error might have some interest for you.

You are absolutely correct Trinity and i thank you for making a note of it. Reason why i wrote it like that was that i always get the question if the scope does have any way to estimate range. Didn't remember to mention the real use of it though.

Very nice reviews.
Wolfen, Could you please explain in greater detail how to fix the side to side wiggling on the adjustable raiser?

Did you remove the side rails from the adjustable riser? Mine was stable with them on but seemed to have some movement when I tried to remove them.

Just in case your question was aimed at me.
It has about the same wiggle with them on and off. it isn't much but it's enough to be a bit annoying

we found a solution to the wiggling
we put Valveclearance-tester stripes with about 0,2mm (i hope it you can imagine what i mean, my english is not very technical) between the rail and the pivot

i switched out the long heavy metal rails on the side to some short composite ones i had ( the plastic ones you get with the package also works perfectly for this.). Did this to cut down on the already redicolous weight of the raiser. How i got it to stop wigging is simple. i simply added some "chemical metal" to each side of the pin holding the raiser together before i screwed on the shorter rails.Now this will make changing back to original rails harder since chemical metal is a very strong "adhesive" but you can get it loose fairly easy anyways since the amount you add is so small. Side note MAKE SURE! the raiser and top rail is lined in right before the chemical metal hardens or you may end up doing it all over. For those that done know what chemical metal is you can find it in any hardware store. there's two models one that uses 2 components seperately that you will need to mix. The other type is something that looks like play-doh. simply mold and warm it in your hands and apply, wait 3 minutes and it will have hardened. Both these works just as well but i prefer the play-doh version since it's a bit less messy |
