    Swaro EL's vs Leica Noctivid

    That’s choosing between “incredible” and “unreal”. Price and user preference will drive it. They’re both awesome.

    Vintage Scopes with Modern Quality

    I have an original Pentax 3-9x43 (yes 43) Lightseeker that is absolutely phenomenal. It too has been on multiple rifles. Optics on it are crazy good. With that said, it’s only from the very late 90’s, very early 2000’s time period. Probably not old enough to be a “vintage” scope yet.

    WTS Ruger 77 laminated stock, RH, LA

    I really like it, but it looks like the barrel channel is really opened up for that .375. Would be a huge gap on a sporter weight barrel, or am I wrong?

    7 PRC barrel slowing down?

    I guess I don’t see 2700 fps out of a 20” barrel as bad at all. And while HarveyNW is correct on the number of shots for groups, I’m betting it will throw 10 down range pretty accurately. Accuracy>Velocity.

    KUIU discount code

    Does anyone have a KUIU code they won’t be using? I’d like to pick up a couple things. Thanks.

    Which optics brands are “alpha”?

    That’s nice. That didn’t answer the OP’s question.

    Which optics brands are “alpha”?

    Understood. Someone else said, in the “traditional” usage for binos and spotters, those three brands were alpha glass. I agree it’s very personal. My eyes love Leica’s, while Swaro’s have a bit of yellow tint to me and Zeiss a bit of blue tint. My Leica’s also have “warmer” colors to me. At the...

    Which optics brands are “alpha”?

    Leica is the third “alpha” I find it funny you include Zeiss above Leica when I think most folks talk Swaro and Leica as the top dogs in bino’s with Zeiss a bit behind those two.

    First time reloader 7mm rem mag for tikka

    Now if only Hodgdon would do a cranial/rectal extraction and start getting some IMR powders on the shelf. Particularly 7828. I was working up some loads in my .280 with it using 162 gr ELDX’s that showed great promise. Before I ran out 2+ years ago….

    First time reloader 7mm rem mag for tikka

    I don’t have a Tikka, but H1000, Retumbo and N560 have all worked with various bullets in mine. With your 162 ELDX, mine liked Retumbo. Would love to try Re26, but SWFA will have their 3-9 scopes in stock before I find Re26. Also, don’t overlook the Berger 168 VLD.

    SFP POI 2 questions

    1.) Maybe. Sometimes a change in zoom will cause a minor change in POI. 2.) No

    Hodgdon is buying RCBS

    I’d prefer that Hodgdon focused on getting the IMR powders back on the shelves than delving into the reloading equipment side of things…

    Pnuma heated baselayer vest

    Scored an XL at Scheel’s for $51 plus $8 shipping. The medium there was $127 however, as I was going to grab one for my wife.

    My comparison: Trijicon Tenmile HX vs. Vortex Razor LHT vs Vortex DB Tactical

    Lots of good comments here. I would add that good quality glass shows up best when light is dwindling. That is when you see the difference. Lots of glass looks great when it’s bright and sunny out.

    .280 AI Powders

    I only have the vanilla .280 so take my comment fwiw. I would look at Retumbo, H1000, 4831, N560, 7828 ssc, Re22, magpro, Ramshot hunter and hybrid 100v. All of them have the right burn rate for 140-168 grain bullets in the cartridge.

    R 22 or N160 with 6.5 CM?

    Because we were talking about the Swede. I gave him my thoughts on his powder question in my first response. Happy?

    R 22 or N160 with 6.5 CM?

    Mostly just the weight and I like to be different.
