[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1119848, member: 229"] No offense taken (I'm not always right :D ), but its not exactly that simple. In order for the FSB to only blur only the bottom of the field of view through your scope, you've got to have the optic mounted fairly high (on high rings or a pretty high mount). That's what I mean by raised. This raises the eye-piece up pretty high and is honestly uncomfortable to me without adding to the cheek wield. If you're planning on doing any longer range shooting with it (like the OP stated), then you'll have issues with accuracy if you're craning your neck off of the cheek wield in order to see through the eye-piece. The Mark AR is only a 40mm objective lense (I assume that's the model the OP was taking about since the $500 models all pretty much have 40mm Obj) and it can be mounted so that the FSB blocks nearly 2/3 of the objective lens if you mount it as low as possible (which impedes your field of view a little more than the pic on Calguns). I would love to know which mount/rings he was using in that pic. But even in that Calguns pic, the bottom of the sight picture is blurred at the lower magnifications (the upper magnifications probably push the blurred spot down far enough that you don't notice it since you loose field of view with higher magnifications). But the lower mil-dots (and in my opinion, the most important part of the reticle if you use the reticle for holdovers) will be useless if there's a blurry FSB covering them. [/QUOTE]
