Optics Warehouse is proud to be sponsoring the GB .50CAL Team for 2019. The team will be entering a number of competitions throughout this year and we wish them the very best of luck.
Last weekend the team were training at Orion Firearms in Wales. Despite the challenging weather conditions, it was a successful warm-up for the upcoming events. Below are a number of shots of what the Team will be shooting.
As you can see the IOR Terminator 12-52×56 SFP Riflescope is featured twice on competitors shooters set-ups due to the premium German Schott glass, robust nature and massive 40mm tube that offers the shooter 120MOA of adjustment. The Terminator is a favourite amongst the GB .50 CAL Team due to it being specially designed for long range target shooting on heavy recoiling rifles.
We will keep you posted with how GB

Strong One-Piece Clamping Base allows easy mounting of 1-inch and 30mm rifle or pistol scopes.
Patented Auto-Centering technology solves the problems created by varying mounting rail widths.
Clamping Legs move equally as the clamping screws are tightened keeping the scope centered on the rail.

Oversize mounting rails? No problem. Clamping screws can be switched to BKL’s unique Spreader Holes to evenly push the clamping legs apart allowing the mount base to slide onto the dovetail.
Airgunners and Rimfire shooters also benefit from the proliferation of Picatinny rail-mounted optics and accessories with our Weaver/Picatinny to Dovetail Adaptor Mounts.
BKL mounts are manufactured from aircraft-grade aluminum alloy on

This short video explains how to mount a riflescope with ease.
Step 1: Slot rings onto the rail. Tighten to finger strength.
Step 2: Using standard/supplied Allen key, tighten. When ‘tight’ finish with 1/8” turn. OR use Vortex Digital Torque wrench and tighten to 4n/m.
Step 3: Gently rest riflescope on mounted rings. Align ring caps on top of scope.
Step 4: Start with the front set of rings and align screws, tightening softly using Allen key.
Step 5: Start with opposite corners and ensure ring-gap is consistent throughout.
Step 6: Finish tightening rings with 1/4” turn.
Step 7: Repeat Steps 3 – 6 for back rings.

In the past, long range shooting has been taught on the most stable platform available; the ground. In the complexity of modern day military operations and challenging civilian shooting events, only a small amount of shots are actually taken from the age old “prone position”.
Traditional shooting methods will always form the foundation of good marksmanship. However these fundamentals will require slight adjustments to accommodate all types of environments and abilities as shooting sports become more accessible to a vast range of people with differing physical abilities and ages.

The Xmount® Clamp was originally developed around military applications in order to allow firing from all positions. Its simplicity and ease of use makes it a perfect piece of equipment to either increase your shooting ability or to allow

How Did This Riflescope Come About?
The Valdada Recon G2 was created by Val of Valdada Optics in Texas, USA, who has been the states importer for IOR Bucharest Optics for years. He has taken his wealth of knowledge and experience from selling the complete IOR range and created an optic that is in our opinion near enough perfect.
By taking the best features from the IOR range of optics and changing the design and specifications that in the past have put people off, the Valdada Recon G2 was born.
What’s So Special About the Recon G2?
This scope has been considered to be “The best riflescope ever made” – but why?
- The Valdada Recon G2 4.8-30×56 has been designed with long range ultra-precision shooting in mind.
- Constructed with a generous 40mm main tube which gives a maximum 150 MOA (42 MILS) of internal adjustment.
- Contains the best German Schott Optical Glass

It’s physically impossible for a scope to be perfect at its extremities because when dialled at this level of elevation or windage, the light that is coming through is bending. This is physics. And it’ true term is ‘Vignetting’.

Vignetting only occurs at the extreme adjustments of the optic’s available travel (both in windage and elevation) due to the fact that the erector assembly is positioned at an extreme up/down/left/right position.
When the erector assembly is in this extreme position, there may be a visible obstruction of the light-ray-trace pattern. The extreme positioning allows the edges of the focusing tube to slightly obstruct the light-ray-trace which will cause a ‘shadow’ or ‘crescent moon shape’ to form in the field of view.
When you run though the adjustment

STEP 1. The turret cap at the top – above the main turret grip – has a ‘grippy’ top-edge and loosens easily by hand through turning anti-clockwise. No tools or force required!
STEP 2. Once the top turret cap is unscrewed it can be pulled off completely.
STEP 3. The main turret with the graduations on will now ‘lift-off’ and can be pushed back on at the zero position.
STEP 4. Once the turret is removed, the brass sleeve to set physical ZeroStop is exposed and can be set with the included allenkey.
That’s all there is to it!

All The Basics You Need To Know
by Jonny Anderson
In this article, Jonny an experienced bird watcher and outdoor enthusiast, shares his knowledge on binoculars.
Binoculars are two side-by-side telescopes that magnify a distant image – but understanding more about how they work and what spec suits your requirements will save hassle and, more importantly, money. Here’s the basic information you need to choose the right pair.
HOW DO THEY WORK?
Binoculars contain lenses. The first lens catches the light and bends it through a second magnifying lens. Bending light creates an upside-down image so the image is then shone through a prism to correct its orientation.
DECIPHERING THE NUMBERS.
Binoculars are graded using two numbers. Let’s use a pair of standard 7×35 binoculars as an example. The first number is 7. This is the magnification power – so these binoculars will bring the
