    Rifle for a rookie

    Fair enough. Tikka is the 'easy button'. I tend towards 30-06 or 308 but I have seen the advantages of lesser recoiling cartridges. Whatever you get, the important thing is to know it well.

    Rifle for a rookie

    22lr and a spotlight. Read through years of prosecution records - they show it is an effective caliber.

    Worthwhile to Upgrade Hunting Optic?

    What yardage was the deer really at?

    Probably a stupid question.

    Well, we can dig deeper... I have always seen the "rule" that you bullet diameter should be what you at least have seated into the neck. (maybe someone can explain that better). Also, you have to be careful and know where the lands are. I can seat to mag length in my Winchester, but that puts...

    Your Groups Are Too Small

    Your Groups Are Too Small

    I find this interesting and would like more info if it is available. I can see what you are saying - the two different methods did not move the bell enough left or right to differentiate between the two. Is that correct? Does it take one SD shift to be significant? When you say 'same...

    Scope for an Elk hunt

    Gold star answer right here. We all started somewhere - I hope the OP has success on his hunt whether at 100 yards or 800 yards.

    LOW will do it. Who’s in?

    How was Vortex different? I agree - innovation drives the free market. Our view of the market is limited though by what we see on the forums (think bubble). Do we really think there is a huge hole in the market for 'the perfect scope' and an established company hasn't identified it? Perhaps...

    LOW will do it. Who’s in?

    How many do you think you'll get? Yeah, the forums are full of the most discerning consumers, but that is only a fraction of the scope sales that happen. Starting a new company you would look at industry sales numbers and build what sells - not what you want. That's the tuff part - selling...

    LOW will do it. Who’s in?

    Everybody wants the perfect scope until it comes time to buy it. Wasn't the S&B PMII 6X scope buy somewhat of a flop on the 24HCF? If you get 50 guys to agree on the recipe, you will be doing good.

    LOW will do it. Who’s in?

    Truthfully, the marketing is where it is at. Look at Vortex - they were a marketing machine with a moderate product. Touting the best warranty in the business. Products cheaper to replace than fix. They put one in the hands of anyone that would get their product and hat in front of a camera...

    The scope would be the cheap part. Paying for all the flatbill marketing would break you...

    Rifle Advice

    More derail fuel: Throw a couple "Hint..." in there and the transformation is complete. Form is to Rokslide as Big Stick is to 24HCF. Discuss amongst yourselves.
