    Q&A Leupold VX-3HD 2.5-8x36mm field eval

    Thanks for doing this eval! I honestly expected a more spectacular failure.

    Game Warden Job Listing

    A few years working in the right departments, and that $33 can easily become $40+ working from home or hybrid with semi-flexible working hours (wife is a nurse).

    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    Nearly new. I used it on a few range trips and a week of hunting on a rifle I let a buddy use.

    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    Oh, sorry, I could have made that more clear--I don't have an SWFA 2.5-10. I'm just curious to see how the Leupold compares in performance to that model which was already subjected to the same test (Eval is in the Long Range section of the forum)

    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    FWIW, I sent my VX3HD 2.5-8x36 off to go through the Rokslide zero retention evaluation. It will be interesting to see how it stacks up to the SWFA 2.5-10x32 which has already gone through the eval.

    Vehicle paint protection?

    Honestly, yes and yes. I didn’t buy it to resell, it’s going to depreciate, and the desert sun will probably ruin the paint before I’m done with it anyway. If I lived somewhere rust was an issue, I probably wouldn’t have the same flippant attitude because then it becomes a function problem.

    Vehicle paint protection?

    Embrace the scratched paint as a sign you're using the truck as intended and it's not some mall crawling, pavement princess. Make the dealership shudder when you bring it back in for its first service and they see what you've done to it.

    6 ARC Howa Mini BA for $415 or $399 links in post

    I do, and would not recommend the bottom metal and Mamba mag in the current state. The Mamba mag sticks WAAAYYY out and is relatively heavy. The bottom metal isn't bad, but you'll have to use shims that come with the bottom metal to get the magazines to seat properly. DIP makes a metal bottom...

    Ramshot TAC Temp Stability?

    This might help if you haven't seen it already. When I was looking for a powder to use in my .223 I used this to reach the conclusion that the temperature sensitivity wasn't likely to be super critical for the temps and ranges I'm generally hunting in. I haven't tested temperature sensitivity...

    Thought I had settled on a good "first rifle + glass" combo, less sure now

    That’s roughly what I came up with and have experienced in shooting the two. A 77gr 223 in a rifle weighing the same as a 6.5 Grendel shooting a 120 gr bullet will have twice the recoil. Roughly 4 ft/lb vs 8 ft/lb.

    Thought I had settled on a good "first rifle + glass" combo, less sure now

    Look at the 6mm ARC over the Grendel if you really think you want a caliber you can travel to other states with. There will be a noticeable difference in recoil between a .223 and 6.5 Grendel to a recoil-sensitive kid. Both have limited recoil, but the Grendel will still be almost 2x the 223...

    Great glass, buy once, cry once

    Only you can decide how much weight you want to carry and how it suits your hunting, but I’ll say this—the BTX is fun and comfortable to glass with. Add in the 1.7x magnifier for when you need and closer look and you’ve got a formidable setup. For me, the BTX elevates glassing from an aspect of...

    22 ARC

    7.62x39* / 6.5 Grendel / .220 Russian *Edit to add, 7.62x39 uses a different depth of bolt face for ARs, despite being the same rim diameter as the Grendel and ARC.

    22 ARC

    The 22 ARC would be even better in the Howa Mini with its lack of recoil.

    22 ARC

    Yep, huge ammo market available there and many guys will only have to buy a new barrel to use it. Pretty ideal for all parties.
