I ordered a Rival Xp 7prc back in March. I received it last week. I also own a rogue in 300 prc. I'm happy with both the rifles. BUT, I will not do business with Fierce again. Not that the rifles I ordered are less than desirable. They both feel good to shoulder and are a pleasure to shoot...

As for now my votes goes to the Mountain Hardwear Phanton. It's comparable in price, but can be had for cheaper with discounts.
I just used it for the first time last season. Very comfy. I'm a 5'10" 185 side sleeper.
Great question. For years I used the viper HD 15-45x65 along with many other spotters in the entry level price range. They were ok for the price range I guess! But, I tend to use my 12x50 binos more than anything. If I had to do it all over again. I would have not bought any of those spotters...
I have never tested my limits off of a pack. But, my daughter and I practice often off of our packs in different positions. She has been successful out to 550 and I have taken a cow just under 700 off of my pack.
