I dropped a WTF when you showed the optic chart.
Im just waiting on 4K Ultra HD glass
What is the outside diameter of the Nikon FX1000 6-24×50's Sunshade and Ocular adjustment ring/Eye piece in either millimeters or inches? I plan on ordering some scope caps for it now even though It'll be around Black Friday before I buy it. Thanks in advance.
I actually got a chance to compare the Nikon Black FX1000 & illuminated Zeiss V4 (6-24x50mm's) side-by-side at the League City, TX Cabelas. I thought Zeiss had slightly better lenses but not $400.00 better. Zeiss Lenses are hard to beat. I did prefer Nikon's turrets size & marking/numbering system over the Zeiss V4 turrets.
Nikon is the better value for me but If that illuminated Zeiss V4 6-24×50 can be found for around the $850 – $900 price range (sales + coupon code) over the Next year – then Zeiss would be the clear winner. The non-illuminated Zeiss V4 6-24×50 is $865 at DVOR for a limited time only.
I had the 4-16x MRAD version and noticed ghost clicks in the elevation turret. The best way to describe it is for every other .1 click in elevation, it would sometimes feel like 2 clicks. Rotating the turret slowly made it obvious. I read here that similar folks had the same issue…. http://forum.snipershide.com/threads/nikon-fx-1000.6871642/page-5. It sounded like Nikon might have fixed this recently based on the forum posts but who knows.
