    Would you buy this scope?

    Below is a link to the original special order sale, with specs/price in the first post. As typical of optics related posts, the thread turns into a lot of fussing.... https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/ubb/printthread/Board/16/main/874571/type/thread A couple of notes on...

    That exit takes care of my worries.

    6mm arc build Howa Mini or buy complete

    Congrats to you and your wife! 200 yards travelled after lung/lungs would be very hard for me to use anywhere other than open ground. Exit/blood trail details? I'd planned on carrying the mini 6 ARC with 108 factory ammo at least a few times this year but that report worries me a bit.

    Would you buy this scope?

    It is. I like 6x scopes for most of my hunting. It is my choice for a one that does all. They aren't the "best" fit for all things but they work well for all things.

    Would you buy this scope?

    The special orders had to come through Eurooptic as they were the only US dealer. Eurooptic was great to deal with, but working with S&B is not a quick process. A person shouldn't order through them if they aren't patient and understanding of the fact that timelines/production schedule for S&B...

    Harness

    Climbed a few times with the Holiday using a hybrid setup. It does what it's supposed to, slim/trim, out of the way, lineman's works as it should, easy to rappel with. Works ok for leaning, not designed for sitting like a saddle...as expected. I'll use it a lot this season. With a platform...

    Would you buy this scope?

    That's correct. None of those were Doug's fault and I know he had a lot of headaches with the process. He handled them all gracefully. After a lot of use (corrected version), it's my favorite scope for a light rifle, so much so that since that time I've special ordered 2 more through S&B.

    Are 30mm scopes stronger than 1 inch scopes?

    I'm not an expert, but with tubing, a larger diameter, with all other things being the same, will result in a stronger tube. The following online calculator shows this if you enter the same wall thickness, load, and length for 6061 T-6 aluminum. Example inputs: Wall thickness - .12 Load -...

    Yes, I wish the grip was vertical as well.

    Climber or hang on with sticks for beginner?

    It's my assumption that the use is hang/hunt, taking it out each time.

    Climber or hang on with sticks for beginner?

    If I were trying to decide, the current discount on this one would entice me to the hang-on route: https://xopoutdoors.com/collections/hang-on-treestands/products/cold-world

    Smacked my Nightforce scope hard

    I'm a fan of trying simple things first. From what you've said, it doesn't appear to be any slipping of the rings, but it would be easy to verify they are tight, both base and ring tops. After that I'd probably pull the barreled action, torque it back down, then go sight in and adjust as...

    Gun safe in unheated room or garage?

    I live in high humidity and my gun room is connected to the garage. It has climate control but I keep the vents closed. I use a very low watt bulb inside the safe. I originally used golden rods but after a second one went bad I switched to a small clip on lamp with a low watt bulb. A plus for me...

    Dear Tikka….if you’re listening.

    I much prefer light rifles for most of my hunting. I was thinking hard about trying one of the Peak rifles. When I did the math, my conclusion was the same as yours. They have a lot of great features, and I wouldn't fault someone for choosing one of them over a Tikka, but after putting a Lite in...

    That sounds excellent. Really looking forward to the Lite.

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    Speed helps, bone makes everything right. Tipped version can help a bit as well. I used to use the 62 TSX and 62 TTSX quite a bit. I always wanted the shoulder...I consider it a concession.

    Sold Nightforce NXS 2.5-10x42 (no box)

    If this is an IHR reticle I will take it. Edit to add, I believe the zero stopped IHR model is C483
