When the original source for the long-time scopes (Edmunds Scientific) stopped making them (completely), Michael had to find a substitute, which he did, with the current “universal” scope. As I’m sure many have noticed, this scope is just not sufficient for many of our customers’ needs.
I’ve been researching and looking and contacting folks trying to find a scope with a better, finer reticle. The old scope:
was divided so the smallest hashmark equaled 0.1 mil.
The new “universal” scope:
is divided so the smallest hashmark equals 0.2 mil.
I have not found a source for a better scope, so I am looking into having them made specially for Micro-Metrics. If I can manage to get a factory to ‘build’ me scopes with 1 division (hashmark) equaling 0.1 mil (or better? Would that suit? Please leave me a comment!), at a price that won’t make the gauges astronomically expensive, I will do that.
