The parallax knob turns quite a bit further under 50y until it hits the stop. Id say at 12x its probably usable at 30y. Doesnt really matter for me because the MCT is my dedicated 50y+ gun.

The way a “full charge” is determined is completely different and if the peaking method doesnt detect a full charge, it can continue to overcharge with bad results.

Even if you paid for that, for residential deliveries they are due by 4:30. If they’re not there by 4:30, get your money back 😀

Edit: stupid emoticons turn 4:30 into icons without smilies disabled!

Thats the exact guage I bought to replace my broken one. Does yours have a little play on the 0-300 psi range? Once its pressurized it works perfect, but I find it doesnt always go back to 0 but if you rotate it around, gravity makes the hand move a little.
