My 80mm Kowa RSN-series scope, costing over £1500 over twenty years ago, has now become sticky wherever the green finish has been put, and also the protective black ring around the front of the body. I am less than happy with this, as you can imagine, and will certainly NOT be buying any Kowa products in future.
sad to learn condition of the paint, & black ring. Would be interesting for you to write to KOWA, with fotos of the deteriorated parts, to ask them why it happened; if there is a fix; & if this can also happen to present day models.
@@DIYhabitat I ended up sending back to Kowa UK, aka Pyser SG Ltd. They wrapped in in plastic food saran wrap and sent it back to me. That's not really the answer to a known fault on a high-priced optical product.
I liked the video, do you have pictures of the rifle targets at 100 and 300 meters/yards? Can you clearly see the shots with a dark background?
thanks for your feedback. I have to dig up the old paper targets to check.
Hi! Thank you for demonstration. Have a question. Is eyerelief changeble with zooming or stays the same?
rather than anecdotal answers, best to reference the Optical Triangle equations.
