so if you know what's wrong with this picture you're a gun guy and i'm glad you're here the
scope is backwards now occasionally hollywood really screws it up and will put backwards optics
and they screw up even worse but it made me wonder wait a minute if someone threw me a rifle with a
backwards optic because they were stupid could i still make the shot and that's what we're going to
talk about today but first make sure you check out our sponsor and that's europtic.com you can really
find some good deals on optics as well as other things as well freedom seeds and that good stuff
but the neat thing about them is they also have great customer service
and a real live inventory so when you buy something that says in stock it's not
going to drop ship eight months from now from another retailer no it's gonna ship
same day so check out europtic.com and they have a nice discount program for outfitters
instructors law enforcement military see i'll check them out now let's shut up and shoot
all right so this is with an optic mounted correctly
take it off and now we can make it on total like we screwed up mode
so we're gonna do.... i'm used to rocking it that way but now it's gonna be that way
so here's the deal about this okay of course we're just saying one if it'll work but two if somebody
threw you a rifle like a hollywood armor okay i've been in hollywood did the whole stint on top shot
that we had some pretty good armors but there's always someone that squeaks in that's not the best
and then you can have an alec baldwin situation but with it backwards play with it at home because
you can it's it's it's wild okay so on 8x things are now eight times further than closer and on one
x oh well it's roughly the same we tried hooking up the tacticam to these but since the field of
view now shrinks to like you know it you're when you look through it right field of views like this
now it's like this it overexposed and it's just a white dot at the end of a black tunnel
parallax is the other issue because when you do this funny thing it throws this reticle
upside down so we have an upside down reticle which is weird it makes it really out of focus
so i'm going to just screw the diopter out a little bit more because i think that'll help
but otherwise the parallax moves so much you can't stay consistent normally when your
parallax is set you can move your head back forth up down and your crosshairs don't move
there's no way to really do that here especially on a non-parallax adjustable optic in the first
place so when i move little bit one it moves feet so we're gonna have to stay stable and just see
so we threw our scope on here backwards let's see if we can hit about 50 yards away oh gosh it's so
fuzzy i'm gonna keep messing well i just took the whole that's cool okay your primary arm scope can
come apart i don't know if it's supposed to it looks like there's a second ring that's kind of
wobbling around there okay uh we're just gonna have to go about there and get the best of both
worlds with upside down reticle i'm gonna hold center mass that same target as earlier
sweet we're hitting and it's consistent it's just a little low right i'm gonna move my head around
see about this parallax stuff though move way over here same hold okay i'm gonna go that's not
bad okay i'm gonna zoom oh gosh that was terrible we're going to have to try to get that on camera
because when i zoom out when i zoom in it zooms out to where i can barely see it but i want to see
if i can do it because it's got a big horseshoe reticle oh my gosh it should be right there i
got it i can barely see it's like shooting at 800 yards now okay so we have it that we can
shoot semi-accurately i may have a hold i'm gonna see if i can shoot that little t
hostage head on the right all right it's gonna be about right there i'm gonna guesstimate i got it
three times in a row so if you know you're holding you can see your splash yes you can
shoot with your optic backwards let's step it up a touch though so i grabbed this rifle because i
was hoping that taxicam could give you a view but again it wasn't it was super overexposed
but it looks so stupid backwards like this so anyway since it only goes to three and we're
at 100 yards here it's gonna be like shooting at 300 yards and if i zoom into eights or nine
yeah 900 yards so i don't think we're gonna zoom in that much especially when
parallax and everything else doesn't work the same got the bauer's verse 30 ti suppressor on
the front all right dude so tiny sniper is going to help me spot since it's like a makeshift 300
yards i guess that's all there is to it okay that doesn't look terrible so i'm going to go
for that big one i'm going to put it dead center of the chest and you're going to tell me ready
to the right any elevation change or result only to the right
okay all right i'm gonna hold left edge center yeah same height
missed to the left okay all right i'm gonna go about armpit area okay so here's the deal where
i'm looking through this when i wiggle a little you see like one two three four
five five black rings of the internal makeup of the scope and so what i was ignoring but what
i'm going to do this time is try to look through it like it's a full tunnel so to try to get some
damage control on that parallax so there we go i'm in the center i'm going to go for armpits
to the left again okay
i heard that i hit bottom right okay so i was holding armpits lining up all five rings
so i'm gonna line up my five rings again i'm gonna hold a bit higher and on the left edge
oh that was too much huh i almost got off target so let's go a little lower
same spot it doesn't i see so much shift in those rings
let's try this
still high huh all right overcompensating okay line up on my five rings
okay but we're hitting now so we are heading
oh we're almost to center now aren't we all right still got
all vamo five rings
now we're getting a group sweet i think that's it okay so we got a group like that finally by
chasing it in and we'll have to let you see how crazy if we can get it on camera
how crazy this looks so i guess the point of this story is if you got a good spotter
if some idiot gives you their optic mounted backwards you could make do and make a hit
most likely but the best plan put your optic on straight you can check out our
sponsor europtic.com they help you do that too and they'll probably laugh with you at
least probably not in front of you but later on so thanks for watching guys okay i love it bye
hahaha
did you see that come on come on i said i came in like a wrecking ball
perfect
