    What’s your experience with SUBSONIC 300 Blackout?

    It has handgun energy. But some loads open and kill more like broad head arrows rather then hydrostatic shock a rifle normally does

    New 56mm Swaro spotter

    I know on the bird forum there is a debate that the Nikon ED50 with fixed eyepieces can hold its own against the Kowa 554 love to see a side by side with the swaro

    Looking for reflex sight

    Sig Romeo 5 if your on a budget. It has a great reputation for reliability. Alabama arsenal did a torture test and even shot the thing with a shotgun. Even then the red dot still turned on if you have the money, aimpoint has the best glass and reliability …but I do love my Romeo!

    Low-power Scout Scope

    yes, they are called prisms….primary arms has some lightweight ones (under 6-7 ounces) but you don’t want magnification for low light, you want a bigger aperture in whatever scope you choose

    Low-power Scout Scope

    Go red dot it eliminates the light robbing peep sights, but keeps the handiness of a lever action

    Best Scope Magnification for Deer Hunting.

    General rule of thumb that works for me is 1x for each hundred yards for an ACCURATE shot and 2x for each hundred yards for a PRECISION shot…..with that said you don’t need precision for hunting. I always rather have lower magnification and higher FOV. Plus you get more shakes with higher...

    Lightweight 1-4x ?

    using a six o'clock hold with a 2 MOA dot really Increases accuracy, instead of just placing the dot over the deer. You can also increase your accuracy distance if you use a rear peep sight or a magnifier As a general rule of thumb I can shoot slightly further with red dots over iron sights...

    Lightweight 1-4x ?

    warning: the lightweight and nimbleness of a red dot equipped mountain rifle becomes very addictive P.S. You can still have magnification if you go with a prism

    Lightweight 1-4x ?

    Have you considered a red dot or a prism? they balance out a mountain rifle very nicely since they weigh nothing. you can get red dots that only weigh 1 ounce or a magnified 3x prism for 6-7 ounces

    Zeiss vs votex vs Lica

    Leica for the color saturation….something maven, swaro, or zeiss don’t offer

    3/4 mile to 2 miles 15x SLC or spotter?

    Absolutely…mirages make you dial down magnification ….sometimes to 20x or lower…at that point you might as well use the brighter more comfortable binoculars
