I never seem to be happy with things as they
are. Even a good scope needs a few personalized changes. I usually make
changes to improve contrast, improve mobility, add functionality, or make it easier to
use. My usual site is fairly light polluted, so some of these modifications were
needed to enjoy the sights. I've categorized the mods by the scope, but many of
these simple changes can apply to other scopes, too. Click on the name of the scope
for the page. |
