    Vortex Razor HD 4000 GB Review/Discussion thread

    It handled overnight temps in the 20s without issue, except for a slightly dimmed display brightness.

    You got a returned tag. Not sure why they put those definitions there.

    It doesn’t void your general license. The permit allows (permits) you to use your general license in the limited district you put in for. Most elk permits now further restrict you from using your general license in districts other than your permit district as well. You will still need to...

    It gives solutions as far as you get a range.

    This works ok. I would rather download areas manually, though.

    The only archery features are the minimum 5 yard ranging capability and the HCD mode.

    The GeoBallistics UI is very user friendly and the most intuitive I’ve used. I like the app a lot. You can just drag the three rifle profiles into the A, B, and C slots in any order you want. Then you can change profiles easily in the rangefinder’s menu. It is pretty slick.

    These are great questions. You manually input the wind speed in mph using the left and right wind buttons for the in-device wind modes. When I used the map without service it was blurry, but not just just a white screen: I don’t know about calibrating without service. I will try it out.

    Finally a Truly Universal Digiscope Adapter

    The two lenses that work are the 1x and 3x. Generally, I get better image quality with the 1x. Just pinch to zoom a little and remove vignette. It helps to have a camera app that lets you manually select which lens you are using. I use ProCamera.

    Swarovski ATC vs. ATS vs. Kowa 553…Updated 4/26/23!

    I will see what I can do on age. As far as condition, I have evaluated these scopes for any obvious optical problems that indicate a manufacturing defect or damage and they have none. These three scopes are in good working order and appear to be good representative samples. Unfortunately, I...

    Swarovski ATC vs. ATS vs. Kowa 553…Updated 4/26/23!

    It’s the 20-60. If someone wants to send the WA zoom I would be glad to use it too. Having compared these two eyepieces side by side more than once before, FOV at similar magnifications is the major difference. As you would expect, you can resolve more detail at 60x vs. 50x though. The exit...

    Using copper solids for barrel break-in?

    Personally, I would just shoot the rifle without concern for break in. If it starts shooting poorly due to copper fouling, clean it out to bare metal. I like Wipe-Out for this. Solid copper can increase copper fouling given that it is softer than the gilding metal used in most jacketed...

    Swarovski ATC vs. ATS vs. Kowa 553…Updated 4/26/23!

    I asked this question to Swarovski directly. The answer was that the ATS has remained unchanged in design and coating technology since the last major design. They have upgraded manufacturing equipment that increased precision and consistency in manufacturing. Theoretically, this could...
