OSOK Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Tiff , yes we've gone out to 2,626 yards with the 7mm and just shy of 2,000 yards with the Middlestead . 2.75 MOA of spindrift , 0.5 MOA of Coriolis & over 5 seconds of flight time for the 7mm at 2,626 yards . Great fun ! OSOK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swamp Donkey Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 I guess you won't be using 130x with the .338 then Tiff ? Good work though buddy. I suppose you'll be playing at the weekend. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Tiff, If you can spin up a second bushing while you do yours I will happily make a contribution to the fighting fund! Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PESCA Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 If you could do a third, that would be even better (for me, anyhow). Happy to pay also. Cheers. George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Tiff, Can you post links to both these parts please ? I can't seem to find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 I was the English chap ! I tried both the Swarovski 2x and the Opticron 2.5x and the 2.5 was a neater setup . Dont bother with the rubber eyecup as mine stays off now anyway . don't go any bigger than 2.5x or you won't be able to see the read out and make sure you line around the eyepiece for a snug fit to keep the reticle centered . OSOK Thanks for the original SH post Greg (?), I was going down the Swaro route before I read it. You definitely saved me time and money!

OSOK Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Hi Tony , The Swarovski option works great too just not as compact and having seperate adaptors makes the booster useful for use on other optics . Greg . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiff Posted May 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 It will be a couple of weeks or so before I'm able to, but should be no problem producing a few bushings. OSOK - Sounds like you have some great fun stretching way out there. This will be my first season focusing solely beyond the 1k mark and now all the kit is coming together I'm really looking forward to it Do you have any pictures of the bushing attached to the PLRF - I'm assuming it is a narrow 1/2"wide band that simply fits very snuggly onto the slightly raised ridged section of the eyepiece? The adapter then snugly fits on top and self centres when it bottoms out (when fully pushed on)? Baldie - I got the 2.5x eyepiece from here: http://www.binoculars-uk.co.uk/acatalog/Opticron_Universal_Tele-Adapter_UTA.html And the 40946 adapter from here (although not listed, they had it in stock): http://www.wexphotographic.com/buy-opticron-uta-connector-ring-for-40812-40813-40814-40815-40816-40859-40860-40861-40902-40903/p1002264 I'm still playing with the booster and some old lenses I have around the house, trying to get the eye relief sorted on the IOR to make it shootable...

brown dog Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 I've got a 2.5 with a 40947 if it's of any use - virtually unused, got it with their top of range monocular years back - didn't even realise that the bottom adaptor was a separate part!

OSOK Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Tiff , you don't need the Delrin sleeve as I only did it to fix the Swarovski to the unit , just fix the best sized adaptor straight onto the PLRF . If you have to get another smaller adaptor it will still be cheaper than messing around with Delrin and I may have smaller adaptors as I went mad with them .

PESCA Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Is the 40946 not the smallest, at 33.3mm? George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSOK Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Sorry Geoge I wasn't looking at the reference numbers but you are right . OSOK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PESCA Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 I've just taken delivery of my 2.5x and 40946 adaptor this morning. Unfortunately, they don't work with my unit as it gives the reading at the base of the screen, which means I'd need to remove the 2.5x each time to take a reading. So, If anyone one like the pair for £105 posted (saves you £20), they're here for you. Thanks. George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiff Posted May 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 After playing with different Delrin (chopping board anyway..) bushings, I've decided to stick with the electric tape and felt combination I first used. Due to the serrated finish on the metal eyepiece, it is quite difficult getting the fit 'just right'. I think if I used a slightly softer plastic it would snugly fit, but then it may not easily come off! Sorry to anyone who was after one.

OSOK Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Hi Tiff , my Delrin is tight and thin as you say to fit between the raised section of the PLRF's . George , I don't understand why your unable to read the screen as the 2.5x booster works fine on mine and I assume Tiff's . OSOK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz6br Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Love these guys! Also using vectronix. This being their PB and all down to that unit. What you reckon Tiff, you match this this year!?

mjpaanan Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Vectoronix rangefinders are awesome. I have PLFR15 and I can range easily over 5 km in daylight with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
