    Kowa 66A Review

    What are you looking for in the digiscoped photos? I often use digiscoped photos in my comparison articles, but not for comparing optical qualities like resolution and contrast of the optic. The phone camera and computational photography components just add too many variables to provide an even...

    Kowa 66A Review

    https://www.rokslide.com/kowa-prominar-66a-review/ I received the new Kowa 66A Prominar spotting scope with a couple of extra goodies to look at for a few weeks. I already have the Prominar 883 with 25-60WA eyepiece for comparison. What kind of information are you looking for about this...

    We just got in the new Slik 632. A 22oz, 2 section tripod!

    If my memory serves right, it was always when opening.

    We touched on this in the recent Rokcast episode: Be cautious with those Slik cast metal hinges in cold weather.

    First Lite Source Vest and Origin Pant Review, By Matt Cashell

    I would put them as similar to fleece. I would say a touch warmer than the thin grid fleece pants I normally use as a mid layer. They have a thin fleece lining, but the exterior face fabric also increases the thermal value. They do seem to breathe better than traditional soft shell pants as well.

    Please do a valid Review on Swarovski NL

    Distortion and lack of acuity (softening) aren’t the same thing. There is no particular advantage to edge softness, even while panning. Many designs incorporate distortion (pincushion distortion) to avoid the globe effect or “rolling ball” while panning.

    Vortex Triumph HD 10x42 Binocular Review ***Updated 10/16/23***

    I often recommend the Raptor to people on tight budgets. The simple Porro prism design gives more optical performance vs. roof prisms at the lowest price point. There just haven’t been any decent performing roofs available at this price point … but the Triumph seems like it is changing that…

    Vortex Triumph HD 10x42 Binocular Review ***Updated 10/16/23***

    I get a lot of time with binoculars that literally cost thousands of dollars. Unsurprisingly, they are usually pretty great. But not every hunter can afford those, and still go hunting. So it begs the question: What kind of binocular can a single $100 bill get you? Well, Vortex announced the...

    LNIB used Meopta Meostars HD VS new Tract Torric UHD Schott Glass

    The Meostar HD is one of my favorite binoculars at any level. $700 is like highway robbery for it.

    Vortex Razor HD 4000 GB Review/Discussion thread

    I did two firmware updates. One pre-release, and one on the release date. They each took about 10ish minutes and went through without a hiccup.

    Best 270 Win bullet for Elk

    For 400 and in, I really like the 130 TTSX in 270 Win. I have found the TTSX easier to get to shoot than the LRX in a number of different calibers. I generally seat them to the first groove and choose a powder to push them fast.

    Cliff Test: Another one takes a tumble

    Embarrassingly, I’ve actually had more than one bad situation, due to my less-than-perfect risk assessment skills when I was younger. Obviously I would prefer to just attach p-cord and lower the pack, but sometimes poor planning leads to quick decisions on self-preservation!

    Does the 6.5 PRC have enough ass?

    Of course.

    Does the 6.5 PRC have enough ass?

    This isn’t really an accurate description of what the OP asked. He asked about the cartridge AND limits to effective range while hunting elk. Most of the comments gave advice on both topics. Ethics are personal. If you are legal, you have to find YOUR ethical limit. There is specific range...
