The purchase of "Alpha" glass could be a one in a lifetime investment. I' have NL 10x32 , EL10x42 and CL 10X25 and all are the best in their target market. Range finding technology always has evolved very quickly. This is computer tech, the chips get fast, smaller, bluetooth changes every 1-2...
Good article. Got a few points to make.
Any bino above 10X, will greatly benefit from a tripod. The 12X absolutely. If you cannot commit to always having a tripod with you then don't pack a 12X bino. Its that simple. If that means you are going to pack a 3-4 lbs tripod like those nice...
consider the 10x32 EL. All the ELs, are the best Swaro has to offer. the light gathering advantage the 10x42 has over the 10x32 is very small, just a couple extra minutes at the edges of the day. but packability is an all day issue. If you need 12X, then the 12X50 won't disappoint. If you need...
I own Japanese Razor 12X50 and Swaro EL 10X32. Bino discussions and bino tests are always so subjective. I am an engineer. I design and build all the Kramer Designs Corp products. I approach bino evaluations with the mind of an engineer. I handle many different binos in the course of a year...
I've owned the b4s since they were first introduced. The main reason for the larger size is they are abbe koenig roof prisms, vs the more common schmidt pechan designs. AKs are longer, weight more, but do not require any mirrored surfaces to prevent light transmission when beyond the critical...
Mr SnipePod chiming in. Couple of things to consider. For locating critters, binos beat spotter hands down. Your brain gets double the light, because two eyes are pumping it in. Also, as we age, the ability of our pupils to dialate declines, making the spotting scope more difficult to view...
New for 2018 is the RRS-Yoke. Over the years, customers have requested this enhancement so that they can leverge the Granite Peak tripod as a shooting rest. While I argue that the V2-Snipepod, with it direct connection to the firearm is always eaiser to manage and move with, the RRS-Yoke is...
Hey all you ultralighters. I have made a major design change to the V2-QDMT mount. Generation 2 of the V2-QDMT eliminates the single 8X32 set screw that press against the firearms QD-Stud. The Gen2 design uses a perfectly contoured clamp that is compressed with 2 6X32 Stainless Steel Cap screws...
Have owned a Riley Stove for over 20 years. It is the smallest Orville had at the time, for a 12X12 Montana Canvas Relite Spike tent. Burned it at least a hundred times. Be sure to do the initial burn outside to cook of the galvanized. After than, no issues. The floor of the burn chamber is...
Preloading bipod
All things are relative. If these mile long shooters would work on improving they body technique on the back of the bipod, then free float their rifles, they would shoot equivalent groups at 1.25 miles.
Seriously, if you have a technique that works, sometimes it makes sense...
The longer the barrel and slower the FPS exit speed, the more time the bullet spends in that barrel. Hence worse problem. I always thought a good muzzleloader marksman had to have a smooth, rock solid follow through, much like an archer. Lots of time from ignition to exit.
I realize that this is probably a topic for a new thread, but I want to give my 2cents on the "PRELOAD" bipod shooting technique. I am a firm believer in free floated barrels, and I take it one step further and free float my rifle. I don't touch the barrel/forearm during the shot. I just make...
The Granite Peak is sized like the V2 SnipePod, by torso length. A GP-33" leg typically fits the torso of 6'4" and taller hunter. The GP-30" for 5'11" to 6'4", the GP-27 for 5'5"-5'11" and the GP-24 for the 5'0" to 5'5" person. With that said, the GP sizing does not have to be as critical as...
