this question is the one that i see most often not just here at the social regressive but out on
forums on facebook posts on comments that you'll see down below on websites this is a question that
will almost invariably get the wrong answer not because the person that's answering the question
doesn't know their stuff but because the question itself is wrong that's the purpose of this first
video in what is going to be an absolutely massive series talking about optics i want
to help everybody out there pick the perfect scope for them or at least to be able to ask the right
question to somebody else so that they can find that perfect scope some initial things to keep
in mind as we jump into this content first off i don't know everything i'm not going to pretend to
i'm just a user i like to knock down tahr gets i like to hunk and i've hunk ted everything from
prairie dogs up through you know white tails and i've had a whole lot of fun using different scopes
for all these different purposes other folks are down in the comments they're gonna know more than
i do they've maybe hunk ted different game uh they have been in different scenarios uh you
have you're gonna have your soldier types that are gonna have more information about you know
maybe some of the auntie personnel sort of things uh that we have here and then we're gonna have people
that have actually man you fractured some of these scopes we're going to be hearing from folks that
you know have really designed and set up these scopes and maybe built them so they'll have some
information that i won't but i think that we're still going to be able to get down to the actual
purpose here but do pay attention to those comments down below now another thing is that
it's easy to take a look at some of the scopes on the modern market and just be looking for
features this is a lot like how we purchase cars you know does it have the right cup holders
does it have you know bose sound system does it have vehicle dynamic control and all this stuff
when maybe none of it is what you actually want you know for me i want a car that does a specific
thing and then all the other bells and whistles i'd actually rather them not be there at all and
that might apply to your scope selection as well alright so now to the meat of this whole thing
everything needs to have a purpose especially your scope your rival should be purpose-built
as well and maybe we'll talk about how to select a cartridge you know do a series on that as well
if you're interested put a comment down below if you'd like to see that but
your scope selection should be very purposeful and this comes down to a variety of factors some
things that you need to think about and that you need to include in that bigger question if you're
going to ask somebody if such and such scope is right for you or what scope might fit your bill
so what's the real bottom line here what is your purpose and what are the real questions that you
need to be asking yourself for now we're going to set aside the rival we're going to set aside the
cartridge those are parameters that we're going to plug in but for now we have one main thing
that we need to think about and that is the tahr get think about where you want that bull it to go
so what is the distance to your tahr get what is the size what is its speed is it dangerous and how
many of them are there i think these are the five questions that you need to begin with i'll leave
these up here for a little bit and i'll put them down in the description below if you can answer
these five questions and maybe get these five answers out there if you're talking to somebody
on a forum asking about a particular rival scope then i think you're going to be heading
in the right direction and someone's going to be able to get you a much better answer
than maybe you would have gotten in the past now these are just some of the things that
we're going to be thinking about hence the 14 part series and we're going to be talking about how to
answer those questions and how to find the scope that you know meets those needs but then we also
have some other things that we're going to plug in as well like we will be talking about different
types of rivals and the cartridges and how they're going to mesh with the scope as well we've got a
lot to think about and make sure that again you subscribe to the channel and keep an eye on this
