I went ahead and put my backorder in for a left handed 6.5 PRC Veil from EuroOptic. Hopefully it will get here before the season starts, but I am not banking on it.
I wouldn't get too caught up in what scope brands offer it direct. There are custom ballistic turret makers who will do custom dials for a number of different brands - including brands that don't directly offer custom turrets themselves. Just google custom scope turret or something similar.
Up for sale is a PSA 18" 6.5 Grendel complete upper. It has less than 20 rounds through it. I thought that I was going to get into Grendel to hog hunt, but with my work schedule, that ain't happening. The only use it has seen has been sighting in the Leupold VX-R Patrol optic to be dead on at 50...
The optic is a Leupold VX-R Patrol Rifle Scope 30mm Tube 1.25-4x20mm with Illuminated FireDot SPR Reticle. The mount is a brand new Leupold mount. The scope sports a Butler flip up cap on the front and a brand new Leupold Alumina flip up cap on the rear (this cap ain't cheap). Original packaging...
Totally agree with this. I have one of these and it's a super dependable scope, but with my not so great eyes, the reticle isn't quite so easy to adjust to. A thicker reticle would indeed make this scope just about perfect.
The Jicarilla has some bull hunts for around $10k, and while there may be some big bulls in there, by all accounts there aren't many. It's highly guide dependent, I would think.
This scope has my attention, but I haven't been able to run across much firsthand experience. I am using the Trijicon Credo HX 2.5-15x42 right now, which is a very reliable scope for a great price. However, the Trijicon reticle is a little fine for my old eyes and I'm not a huge fan of how the...
I have had lower lumbar surgery and have lived and researched back pain up and down. Do not go the surgery route yet unless your MRI shows major spinal stenosis or something truly dramatic. As has been pointed out, disc degeneration is totally normal. Purely speculative, but I’m going to say...
The price of Texas axis hunts, even doe hunts, sky rocketed after the big freeze. Prices will eventually come down, but I think it will take the population another couple of years to fully recover.
Can’t remember if it starts at zero or 1 (if you chose 100 for your zero), but yes, always check zero again with the same ammo to be sure. There are many factors that may necessitate a very slight adjustment in zero - different lot of same ammo, temp, etc.
