    Latest gen Leica Geovid R vs Fury HD vs GPO rangeguide RF BINOS?

    I followed this advice and couldn’t be happier. My initial Geovid R’s were a lemon (excess battery drain) but I got a replacement set and have been nothing but impressed. The glass is good enough to sit behind for extended periods despite being RF binos and they seem to be completely immune to...

    Questions for Form and other "small caliber for big game" folks

    What’s the top end killing distance for say a 20” 6cm shooting factory ELD-M’s in the hands of a shooter shooting 1500 rounds + per year in mountain terrain? 800yds or so in most western states/provinces? Is there any real advantage going with 6.5 PRC with 140’s/143’s over the 6cm shooting 108’s...

    Nightforce SHV 4-14x50 F1 best reticle option?

    I’ve made my Mil C work too. If you’ve got time to set up on hiking sticks/backpack combo or clip into a tripod it doesn’t seem to have many downsides. That said, if you need to quickly make a shot with very little time in low light/broken terrain it could be problematic. I’ve compared it to...

    Nightforce SHV 4-14x50 F1 best reticle option?

    That’s what I don’t get. Based on what I’ve observed, most legit five eyes SOF all seem to use NF, and all the LE units I’m familiar use NF - they’re also using them for field shooting. That said; they’re primarily banging steel and not shooting living creatures. And to be clear, I agree with...

    Nightforce SHV 4-14x50 F1 best reticle option?

    Have you guys found in courses that it’s too time intensive or impractical to turn illumination on when the terrain is broken or difficult to pick up reticle?

    Would you buy this scope?

    I’d buy it for sure

    Hiking safely in big game country

    Hi Form, given the original question is from a Canadian…..do you have any thoughts on these currently non-restricted 5.56 AR esque rifles for this guys use case and for Canadians with similar requirements? CZ Bren 2 B&T APC .223 Raven Lockhart .223 -...

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    For the CTR guys that read this…..while it’s probably much better to go with the standard T3x lite bottom metal for .223 …..I’ve used the CTR/AICS mod per @Shooter71 for my CTR DBM on my .223 and it works great with the metal MDT .223 AICS mags. It can still shoot the CTR mags but the metal AICS...

    Q&A Leupold Mark 4HD 2.5-10x42mm FFP TMR

    I’m assuming the T3x arctic would have the same deficiencies with magazines as the CTR, as per your S2H course AAR - correct? Would you yourself drop the arctic into a Rokstok and then grab a factory DBM for the standard single stack mags if you went the arctic route? Or does the CTR mag issues...

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    4500 rounds with a 6.5 cm? Do you consistently see higher than average barrel life with Sako barrels?

    Gotcha, unfortunately I’m an idiot and usually find that point immediately after realizing I’ve stripped a screw. But I’ll do the nail polish and snug it up well, hopefully it stays put.

    Any idea how tight these should be retorqued if removed? I had to install a magazine latch spring and removed mine to do so. No idea what the initial torque value was, but I did use loctite and was over 65inch/lbs

    Painless load development (mine)

    Do you have a ballpark estimate as to what this might translate to in terms of velocity ES and SD?

    Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44mm SHR-Mil Q&A

    I think 3k rounds of actual use is a good place to be. I just remember the Meopta that @Formidilosus was testing seemed to be doing great until it wasn’t at ~2k rounds IIRC. Seems the optics that make it over that hump (correct me if I’m wrong Form) seem to be good to go and approaching or...

    Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44mm SHR-Mil Q&A

    Well I’m about to sell an ATACR 4-20 Mil-C to fund two RS1.2’s on a .223 and 6.5. I’ve thought about it for a while and I think I’m making the right call, but there’s still part of me concerned something could go sideways with these as we get towards higher round counts and use in Form’s...

    Montana Rifle Company Junction 308Win Field Evaluation

    While I can understand building a Tikka style aftermarket trigger for custom actions- what would the point in developing an American version of a Tikka action be outside of wanting to buy American? And I don’t mean that in a negative way, I’m genuinely curious. Especially given the cost...

    The Shoot2hunt Podcast

    For folks who have been on carnivore for a while and lift/run - how do you find you’ve adapted to the diet? Obviously it takes some time to get the metabolic machinery to be able to perform at the same level as with carbs, especially with anaerobic activity or heavy lifting. That said, do you...

    My gear/pack layout from base layers to binos

    While I can only really speak for myself - I don’t think it would be uncommon if more understood how rapidly synthetics lose loft, how useless goretex boots are long term, how easily hardshell goretex can be compromised, the lifespan of DWR on soft shells etc.. I spent a lot of money on gear...

    My gear/pack layout from base layers to binos

    Since we’re on the topic of packs….what are the issues you’ve found with the MR (metcalf/Beartooth) or HPG equivalents? Also, thanks for putting this together. It’s obviously not a 5 minute ordeal to present everything at the level of detail you have.
