Tiles can be expensive so to help plan your project and reduce the costly mistakes of either purchasing too many tiles or even worse buying not enough, only for us to not have that shade we supplied you, we have provided an easy to use calculator.

Bearing in mind my visual problems, focus and dioptre adjustments seem OK, closest focus about 30 feet (less with my glasses off!). Noticeable pincushion and defocussing off-axis, fringing acceptable. This is an apolitical forum for discussions on the Axis nations and related topics hosted by the Axis History Factbook in cooperation with Christian Ankerstjerne’s Panzerworld and Christoph Awender's WW2 day by day. Also, the bodies look like cast iron! and what is the mount thingy that is on the axle? Looks very heavy duty. Later in the War a tan or sand colour was used for Army binoculars. However, this does not mean they were intended for use in the desert. Price guide Welcome to BirdForum, the internet's largest birding community with thousands of members from all over the world. The forums are dedicated to wild birds, birding, binoculars and equipment and all that goes with it.Apparently, they only made this for a film where they needed lots of blanks and some loaded ammo - and I already asked, the empties are not available will not be perfect. Ones that are damaged or are not usable as binoculars are best avoided though. It's likely that no further discussion is required, in which case we recommend starting a new thread. If however you feel your response is required you can still do so. The Bresser "10x50" that I tested (laser rig -- but the method I suggested above gives less than 1% difference) was a 10x42. Which is slightly better than my Chinese "marine" version of a 10x50, which is only a 10x41. The ubiquitous "15x70"s are 15x62. One could make a reasonably impressive '8x60' for astronomical observation by using 60mm f/3.5 objectives, 27mm Panoptic eyepieces (AFoV 68 deg.) and either 45 or 90 degree roof prisms. For better performance, the fast objectives should be aspherized, as I did for my 50mm lenses in my bino pictured in the avatar to the left. Things are much simplified if the user has sufficient interpupillary spacing so that a straight-through configuration is possible.

The in-focus exit pupil is 6mm. The diamond pattern is very noticeable with the screen defocussed inside the focal length. Let's note here that commercial rifles continued to be built in .318 into the 1950s. FN produces bolt action 8x57s in the 1950s which were .318 bore, so be aware!! The same is true of some drillings and combination guns produced from 1905 to 1939.. still. .318 inch bores. The two visitors had both brought the same binoculars for valuation. They were standing side by side.The 8x60mm S is very popular in European countries like France where the possession of rifles in their original military caliber is tightly regulated: It allows French licensed gun owners to possess rifles based on the Mauser Gewehr 98 system under the less constraining "hunting rifle" category. I just now freeze framed the two binoculars, and they are Zeiss 7x50 Marine without a central hinge bar. As an intro, I posted elsewhere about my experience with previous models: recently Lidl were advertising a set of 10x50, and I had bought the Bresser 10x50 when they were only a tenner (2006) and found them excellent for the price. Unfortunately the recent offering was a cheap own-brand imitation, (probably deliberately) very similar in appearance but branded Auriol, and with BK7 optics. They were, to put it mildly, Rubbish. I am told by an expert on the Mausers and German snipers that there were a significant number of 8x60 sporting rifles with telescopic sights around. They could shoot the 8x57mm ammunition.

The rapid progress in powders and Paul Mauser's bullets was burning out barrels, so they deepened the grooves, taking the bores from .318 inch to .323 officially, but some were .321. The older GeW88s and Turkish Mausers which were recut had their throats lengthened to reduce peak pressures. From then on, the chamber specs settled down. The hottest ammunition were the tungsten core armor piercing and explosive rounds for the ME-109 fighter plane. Barrels burned out in 2,000 rounds. EPs: Plossls - 24mm, 16mm ES Maxvision 68°; 18mm, 12mm, 8mm BST Explorer 60°; Kellners - 25mm Celestron; 40mm & 9mm Japanese; MA - 25mm & 10mm Skywatcher; Skywatcher 2x Barlow. As for the Bresser 8x60mm at Lidl, the photograph shows a silver looking coating with a hint of sky blue on the front lenses. I haven't been to our local Lidl store to have a look myself though, and the photo might be misleading. I don't know enough about coatings to comment on that. Do you have any thoughts? Handloaders can also produce this round, by altering a .30-06 Springfield case and using a standard 8 mm bullet. Prvi Partizan is a major supplier of brass components for European 8x60mm S Handloaders.The second reason is a continued fascination for items from the Second World War and from the Third Reich in particular. Models Gert ..Huon refers to both the 8X60R and the 8X56R alternative names being 8mm Kropatschek 1st model and 8mm Kropatschek short which was introduced about 1899. The bullet was not seated as deep and therefore the OAL was about the same. The .348 case converts well to this use and gives you a length = to the short These are A base cases so a bevel needs to be turned to match the bolt face.. Groove diam of the rifles runs large mine being .330" Filming on the two newly-commissioned 8x60’ series will begin in Greater Manchester this autumn, and further details will be announced in due course. That is how I have bought many rifles: I did not care what caliber they were marked, as much as I cared for their handling and looks. i can find a load for anything like that, and a place with which to hunt it

What are peoples thoughts on this set? I don't know enough to comment on the tech detail beyond what I read here on the forum, so I know that BK-7 is referring to the internal prisms at least. Thought it would be good to here from experts here so anyone who might like a punt on a set of these would have more information to go on, beyond the usual sensible advice of testing a set in store before you buy. Does not the Kropatschek have a "domed" base with a cupped bolt face? I wonder how the Guedes accommodates that.I have been making these Cases now for over 10 years, without any chambering problems at all. My commercial outlet has also distributed over 1,000 Krop/Guedes cases over a similar period without any complaints.
