    Meopta meostar 7x42 review and price?

    They are my favorite and most used bino's by far. The details mentioned by others are part of that. The user characteristics/ease of use really stand out for how I use them, especially the long eye relief when used while wearing glasses. If you buy them and decide they aren't what you want or...

    NXS 2.5-10 Reticle MOA or MIL for hunting?

    Between the two reticles in the 2.5-10x42, the MOAR is more visible to my eye with the closer outer brackets...I shouldn't say closer, the outer bars have less hollow section than the MIL version. I much prefer MIL for dialing and holds but NF's MOAR is easier to pick up in the 2.5-10. Being...

    .223 rem vs .223 AI

    I'm not familiar enough with the 527's action to give you any input on that. I will say I'm a big fan of the .223 AI but only with the following conditions: 1. Center feed mag box - after having ADL, BDL, center feed Wyatts, and M5, I'd never do anything but a center feed box again with the...

    RokStok

    Copied from a different thread... I'm really looking forward to spending some time with this stock. For my own curiosity, I'm going to musical stock the same barreled action in a Stocky's Classic, VG, and Rokstok, prone, sitting rested, and off hand. The off hand results are what I'm most...

    S&B Klassik 3-12....reliable and good stuff?

    Ha! ...I'm a pretty laid back guy, but anyone who'd seen my irritation at the time in person would remember it.

    Scope level options for NXS 2.5-10 on Tikka

    Yep, UM level on mine: https://www.unknownmunitions.com/product/um-tikka-level/ For scope mounted levels I generally use SWFA's: https://swfa.com/swfa-ss-tac-30mm-bubble-level-with-1-inserts/

    Ring height for Seekins Element/maven RS 1.2/ARC M brace

    I've got a 42mm mounted in APA lows (.75") on an Element and it's good to go. I really like the Element's built in rail.

    S&B Klassik 3-12....reliable and good stuff?

    Yep. I had one rifle that 25 MOA rings were to much. A 20 MOA rail worked for a 200 yard zero but not a 100 yard zero. On a different rifle, flat/receiver mounted rings only left me with 3.0 mil up up left with a 100 yard zero. I like the 3-12 Klassic but have to be choosy on mount selection.

    Seekins Havak Slam

    The real differences I'm thinking over: 1. Folding - if you pack strapped to a bag or need the smaller footprint when travelling, that would be nice. 2. Thumb placement of trigger hand. I play with several chassis type rifles. Trigger pull position is usually all good...thumb wrap slows my...

    Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44 new model

    I think I've got 13 days of hunting in with the scope, some were only partial days. I should get 4 more days Fri through Mon...but I may break from it to carry a different rifle. Like mxgsfmdpx mentioned, mine has been been on 6x the majority of the time. I've moved it to 4x a few times and 8x...

    Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44mm SHR-Mil Q&A

    I've been hunting with the rs1.2 the last several days which have been rainy/overcast. Hunting until 30 minutes after sunset. Well designed reticle and in most cases the illumination isn't needed. On dark backgrounds (cedar trees on field edge) the outer bars can get lost and lose the ability...

    Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44 new model

    I've only shot it enough for a hasty 100 yard zero (set hard stop), 200 yard verification (0 on turret), and 300 yard verification. After using it hunting the last couple of days I'm very fond of it. I could do without the 7.5 (?) and 10 on the outer bars. Not a major issue, just something that...

    Yes, they are very low.

    Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44mm SHR-Mil Q&A

    Maybe....maybe not...? The 1.2 won't work with a rail and APA lows (.75")...not because of the objective but because the mid-scope/adjustment housing will contact the rail without sitting in the rings. The adjustment housing sits well below the tube line. I've not had this issue with several...

    Smokeless muzzleloader scope

    I've been using a S&B 6x42 on a NULA smokeless for several years. Currently it's a 30mm w/A4 but previously was a 1" w/A7. My ML hunting is 200 yards or less so this works fine for what I do.

    RokStok

    Note on this. A 1.2 arrived Friday, I came in from hunting Saturday at lunch and started mounting it. Plan was to use a Area419 20 moa rail and APA 30mm lows (.75"). It was going to go in a Stocky's NexGen sporter grip and I wanted it as low as possible. The adjustment housing of the 1.2 sits...

    New Schmidt and Bender Meta 3-18x42

    It's more X's than I need, but I could live with that. Like others, FFP and a measured hunting reticle are what I would like in it.

    Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44 new model

    I like that. Still, I'm looking forward to the current model and glad they made the effort to produce it.
