    2020 Waypoint H-E-L-P!!!

    OK - I have multiple Harris Bi-Pods. All my rifles - svery bi-pod & sling simply attach to the sling stud under the fore-arm. For decades - EZ to attach - unattach. 1 simple stud with a hole in it - you've seen this on rifles maybe a thousand times. 2 studs - 1 in the front - 1 in the back. My...

    Enough gun?

    While I suspect I may be getting myself in touble here... Forums are for posting respectful opinions. If I may - here’s mine. Hope I'm in the right section?? Maybe I have these opinions because I’m older than you and the odds are high I am. Been around a long time. While many have indeed...

    Swaro purchase update

    Thanks. I appreciate your comments. This is my first venture into Swaro - too many disappointing issues with newer Leupold's - not the older ones. Had it not been for those issues - Leupold or Zeiss Conquest would have been first choice. Though it will only be a short test - I will post range...

    Swaro purchase update

    For anyone considering purchasing a new Swarovski. This is Not a scope performance review. Just a purchase update for your consideration. Had I known this earlier......... For 2 of my hunting rifles, I have purchased 2 new Swarovskis'. A Z5i and a Z3. The Z5i 2.4x12x50 is now on my 30-06...

    .243 Win 8 Twist for Wiley

    KS, On your preference.... JBM Calculations makes a strong argument for the 75 gr V Max @ 3,200 + fps. Seems a nice balance between weight and speed. Have moved to an 8 twist 243 and why I posted my questions. Thanks.

    .243 Win 8 Twist for Wiley

    Thank you. Appreciated. Will purchase the 108's. Guide says most shots will be less than 400 yards. Seems most folks really like the 87 gr V Max and 85 gr Sierra BTHP. I have both. Accurate and capable.

    .243 Win 8 Twist for Wiley

    My .243 has a 1:8 twist. Lots'a good folks highly recommend 85/87 gr bullets. With an 8 twist - FOR WILEY - is there any advantage to going to a heavier bullet?? If so - recommendations? Thanks.

    SFP POI 2 questions

    SFP............. If I sight in using a particular power (be it 8x - 10x - 12x - 14x) as long as I'm on THAT particular power that I sighted in with - each of my hashmarks is still valid - yes? Thanks.

    SFP POI 2 questions

    Thanks. Understood on your FFP AND SFP comments. Helpful. Went to FFP - came back to SFP in spite of its disadvantages (?). Works better for me personally. New to all this "dialing..." a work on progress for sure. As for folks answering my 2 questions? YOU DID. Thank you.

    SFP POI 2 questions

    Will try to make these SFP scope questions as simple as possible. Pls understand, NOT asking to compare MIL / MOA / FFP / SFP. Here are the HYPOTHETICAL particulars at the bench. 1. SFP scope – 6x24x50 – Xmas Tree Reticle. 2. Scope on 24x at 100 yards. 3. Under MOA groups follow. 4. I use...

    Zeiss Conquest HD vs Leupold BX5 Santiam vs Maven B1.2

    Maven? Sorry, can't comment. No experience with one. Leupold - IMHO - NEVER, EVER a bad decision. <- Over 6 decades of experience with too many of them to count. Have a 5HD on my Whelen. 1st rate scope - 5 stars. Zeiss Conquests - have 2 V4's SFP. VERY much like their KISS features. Optical...

    Don't be Selfish or Irresponsible

    I'm genuinely sorry for your loss and applaud your post. Folks - you simply can NOT imagine what can happen when there's property/assets to divide and no will. And, should you believe leaving a will casts in stone your wishes after you are gone - think again. Don't ask me how I know this...

    Shrink Pack!

    To all who took the time to reply, and Jason who sent images, just wanted to say thanks. Researching all the packs was enjoyable, trying to pick the right one - not so much. Anyway, no surprise, there's no perfect pack, all have tradeoffs. I looked very hard at the K Late Season and the MR...

    Shrink Pack!

    Images helped a lot Jason. Thank you! My resistance to the external frame is mostly about it adding size, not cost or weight. It's because I don't have the experience of the members here who are kind enough to respond that I keep dismissing the external frame. Maybe I shouldn't be? Every word...

    Shrink Pack!

    Possibly right on the Nomad? Please remember, these will be guided hunts out of state. I honestly do not see heavy lods going in or out - not that I wouldn't help my guide - used to pitching in without being asked. Was leaning hard towards the T3 - no frame - not sure about the Nomad "wing"...
