tim g Posted 16 February 2016 Share Posted 16 February 2016 Hi all, If anyone has one of the above looking for a new home please let me know Great many thanks Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cumbrian Posted 16 February 2016 Share Posted 16 February 2016 I'm afraid I don't have one spare but you may be interested to know that I ended up with these dimensions when I recently changed to Centra High Ends from a variable foresight. I did this to obtain a thinner ring. I experimented, meaning I had to buy several High Ends, and concluded that 5.6 or 5.7 with either a 1.3 or 1.2 ring was best for me. You may like to ponder the ring thickness question because that will also have to be specified. Finally, are you using an eagle eye as I do? Mine is 0.5. I don't, of course, shoot under ISSF rules. If you are not using an eagle eye, do you really need these larger apertures? Mine had to be special order from Germany and they took a long time to arrive. Sorry if all this is irrelevant or unwanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to try an 0.75x Eagle Eye and corresponding HighEnd: My prescription lens (-6.75) makes things appear a lot smaller than they would if wearing contact lenses. The 0.3x pretty much normalises this, and has helped my scores improve, now i am wondering if a higher magnification may be even more beneficial....... all good fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim s Posted 16 February 2016 Share Posted 16 February 2016 Tim, I may have one, but I'll have to check. It will be a 1.4mm ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonty Posted 16 February 2016 Share Posted 16 February 2016 5.6 , 5.7! be careful Tim G you dont slip and fall into the High End, although at that size, you would just fall through. WOW I didnt know they made them that big. Do you use a tube? If you dont, but decided to use one, I shudder to think what hole size you would require.

tim s Posted 16 February 2016 Share Posted 16 February 2016 Yes, I have a 5.7 x 1.4mm M22 Hi-End. Since finding a glass iris last year it's surplus to requirements. £8 including postage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cumbrian Posted 18 February 2016 Share Posted 18 February 2016 Do you use a tube? If you dont, but decided to use one, I shudder to think what hole size you would require. Jonty Well, I have also tried this and found that with an 8 inch extension I needed a 6.9 aperture. Just my experience. YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunter177 Posted 28 February 2016 Share Posted 28 February 2016 Tim g- if you have a tube try moving the foresight tunnel towards the rifle. The ring will seemingly get bigger and bigger! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
