Yes it is. I have the 4-16x56 Polar and is king in Low light hunting. I didn't mention that one because you have to have a special budget if you really want to go that route. And he mentioned it's not an everyday hunting rifle. But yes, great deal.
Trijicon Accupoint 2.5-10x56. I also have a Meopta Meosport R 3-15x50. Both have illuminated dot reticles that help when hog hunting. Meopta about $500, Trijicon closer to $700
If it was mentioned, I missed it. I wouldn't just take the load and stick it in the other 7mag. Load a grain under and check for pressure, then try the 70g load in the other. I have 2 tikka 308's. One is a T3 lite and the other is a CTR. I have loads that both shoot 155 scenars very well...
Made this for about $60 for my 308 and 7 mag brass. The only thing I have to do is move torch for larger brass. Eric Cortina did a test with annealing. Good video about time and how it affected the brass.
If you are concerned about low light, and for what you paid for the Night force, get this and never worry about that again.
I've used this optic as close as 50 yards with no issues. The 4x on the low isn't an issue for me. And with this reticle, the illumination is a pin prick and won't...
I hunt similar situations. I have a high-end optic on one of my hardwood rifles, but I put a 2.5-10x56 Accupont on my sons Rem 700. Works very well for him hunting within the same range as you. What type of reticle does that credo have? My 4-16x50 credo has the MOA reticle center dot, but...
Perfect is a relative question. Because what is perfect for one hunting condition might not be for another.
1) hunting low light situations, my Schmidt Bender Polar is king and fits the bill perfect. Sure it's a heavier optic but I'm not hiking, I'm walking to a box stand and lean it up...
Posicon
Elevation Turret with lock (mine)
What the posicon allows you to do is basically know where your current elevation is and "about" how much adjustment you have left. Say you want to install a 20moa rail. In order to get a zero of 100 yards (if you choose to do so), the posicon...
Actually had that one as well. Ha. Sold it and picked up the Polar. It really depends on his style of hunting. If it strictly powerlines and open fields, where low light isn't an issue, the get a nightforce. Dialing and reliability are top notch. IF low light comes into play, then all best...
Mine also has the elevation turret. I picked mine up second hand in mint condition. There are deals to be found if your patient. The Klassik is also nice. I had a 2.5-10x56 on a custom Rem 700 308 but sold the whole rig.
I see it posted and I too wonder why Zeiss? I'm a Louisiana guy, as I see in your post. I hunt hardwoods as well as open fields. I decided to go with the best low light optic that I could swing and settled on the Schmidt Bender Polar T96 4-16x56. By hunting in Louisiana, you follow the 30min...
Just seeing this, but I have a 1994 A-Bolt II Medallion in 7 mag. I Ended up modifying the mag to allow longer COAL reloads. In doing so, the mag has a floor plate that can be moved out of the way to access the spring and guts of the mag.
What I noticed is that when I went back together...
Check Muzzle brakes and more. I put one of theirs on my Tikka T3x 7mag and had barrel threaded to 9/16-24. They also carry 1/2-28. But I'll be honest, even at 1/2-28 and a 30 cal, you don't have alot of meat at the end of the barrel. Give them your info and they will shoot you straight.
Both of mine were like that. But I'm a free float guy for damn near 35 years. So I opened up the channel slightly on both my T3 and my CTR. Enough to slide 2 index cards all the way to the action. Both drive tacks but never shot them stock form so have nothing to compare.
