    7mm-08 for elk?

    It's funny that many agree with those people and this happens on every single gun forum XD It's funny. There are also many other forum phenomeons i frequently observed. Confirmation bias, groups of users making coalitions against other users or even against certain ideas, unmotivated...

    7mm-08 for elk?

    In hunting, as long as you don't choose very unusual, low powered calibers, there isn't much to rule out in my opinion inside 300 yards. Past that minimum expansion velocity comes into play. A perfect boiler room shot will still be lethal? Most likely it will be, as long as the projectile...

    7mm-08 for elk?

    1) hypocrisy is not the proper term in this case, maybe you intended "contradiction".. 2)even in this case you would be wrong because i never "demanded" anything. I just replied to someone who used the verb "prove", saying what years of work innthe research enviroment teached me: something can...

    7mm-08 for elk?

    As i wrote right in this discussion, i don't hunt with anything bigger than a 308 win. That said, that statement can't be "proven wrong" unless you make a scientific trial, based on a great number of animals shot in controlled conditions. A thread here can't surely "prove wrong" anything my...

    Help me choose a scope for my sheep rifle

    I know it was not asked but, reading your post, the first thing that came to my mind was: why a ultralight build? In order to shoot at those distances, a more stable aandless recoiling platform is useful. If you are young and fit, i would consider to build a rifle around 10-11 pounds for this...

    308 factory loads for whitetail

    At what max distance are you gonna shoot?

    7mm-08 for elk?

    It's not ideal because with a more powerful round you have more margin of error in most variables, especially shot placement and longer distances. I would use a 300wsm if i were hunting big games in NA. On the fact that a good shot placement is the goal, this is obvious. Still, we both know...

    The elk shoulder that stopped a 308

    A lot of BS for such a short video. Achievements!

    7mm-08 for elk?

    It's gonna work. Not ideal probably though. Adequate bullet, good shot placement (avoiding big bones) at reasonable distances (inside 500 yards or so) and the elk will stand no chance.

    Nightofrce NX8 4-32x50 SFP. Where is the infamous tight eyebox?

    I don't think i have ever said it is "unusable", just not ideal. Also for shooting with low light. Yes, the illumination can help, assuming the reticle illumination is properly done. Anyway, this is another variable i don't think i need to think about and i don't want to rely on the illumination...

    Nightofrce NX8 4-32x50 SFP. Where is the infamous tight eyebox?

    Eye relief is the distance from the ocular lens qhere the exit pupil is. Unless it is written as a interval (for example 9mm-9.5mm) it doesn't tell you anything about eyebox, it tells you how much clearance there is between the eye and the scope when looking through the scope! And also the...

    Nightofrce NX8 4-32x50 SFP. Where is the infamous tight eyebox?

    Of course, that's what i will do. I explained in the previous page why i posted this thread :)

    Nightofrce NX8 4-32x50 SFP. Where is the infamous tight eyebox?

    I am no expert in such deep details but I have heard that the exit pupil doesn't represent a good paramenter to understand the eyebox alone..

    Nightofrce NX8 4-32x50 SFP. Where is the infamous tight eyebox?

    Very interesting, can you tell me what is the way to relate exit pupil measurements to the areas you posted here? That would be very, very interesting

    Nightofrce NX8 4-32x50 SFP. Where is the infamous tight eyebox?

    I already replied above about the LRH forum threas and i didn't think it could have been so interesting to know where do i, a random user you don't know anything about, post things. Who cares, right? Secondly, why would you care about what i am looking for.. is it that big of a deal? Since you...

    Nightofrce NX8 4-32x50 SFP. Where is the infamous tight eyebox?

    You mean for when you use winter or summer clothing i guess.. i never bothered about it because, even in winter clothing, i never have such thick clothes to make a difference, at least i never noticed it. The only time there is difference is when i shoot wearing the backpack but that's no big...

    Nightofrce NX8 4-32x50 SFP. Where is the infamous tight eyebox?

    I didn’t cause i got banned for having compared expecting how a scope would perform optically wise just keeping it in hand to how a woman would be in bed just looking at her 😂 a bit excessive in my opinion Btw yes, sometimes i used to post also there because i liked also LRH, i don't think this...

    Nightofrce NX8 4-32x50 SFP. Where is the infamous tight eyebox?

    I actually think that a wide magnification range is exactly where a ffp suffers because the reticle will be very small at 4x and too big at 32x, with just a marginal benefit in my opinion, especially if you dial for elevation. Reticle design can mitigate this issue but most reticle i saw on ffp...

    Nightofrce NX8 4-32x50 SFP. Where is the infamous tight eyebox?

    The eyebox on this, at similar magnifications, is not significantly different than the one of my khales 2-10x50i. Maybe is better, maybe a little worse. It's such a non issue that i can't even tell.
