    Slow 30-06 Tikka T3?

    I got a bunch of Sako ammo on sale around the time I first bought the rifle, $13CAD/'box, which is why i've been using it almost exclusively so far. I'll definitely be looking at some alternative bullets now that I understand BC better. I also have some Sako Super Hammerhead 180gr soft points...

    Slow 30-06 Tikka T3?

    Hey everyone, relatively new hunter here, only been shooting for about 6 months here. Finally got a chronograph (Magnetospeed Sporter) to see how my 30-06 Tikka T3 Stainless (22.5" barel) was running the Sako Gamehead 150gr softpoints (BC .279 G1). I got an average velocity of 2785fps (+/-26fps}...

    Bushnell Nitro 1800 Beam Divergence?

    Does anyone have an idea what the beam divergence for the Bushnell Nitro 1800 rangefinder is? I've looked everywhere online and can't seem to find it. Phoned up Bushnell and they couldnt give me an answer.

    Best LCD Rangefinder?

    Looking for my first rangefinder and have narrowed down to a Sig Kilo 1000 BDX or a Bushnell Nitro 1800. Both have LCD displays as I find this better for hunting in Canada where snow cover is almost always present during rifle hunting season. Does anyone have some insight as to what rangefinder...

    Leupold SX-2 Alpine HD 20-60x60 Reviews?

    I've compared a few spotters in this price range including the Bushnell Nitro, Leupold SX-2 and Vortex Diamondback. The Leupold, in my opinion definitely has the sharpest glass of the 3 and middling chromatic aberration (CA). The Bushnell had almost no CA but had cloudier glass and the...

    Does anyone have any experience with the Bushnell Engage EDX series of binoculars? Ive looked through a ton of forums and sites but cant find much im the way of comparisons to other similar products like the Vortex Diamondback HDs. To my eye they are very impressive, especially considering their...

    First Spotting Scope

    Thanks for the input but Im committed to one of these 3 scopes as these are the only ones in my budget range that I can actually get my hands on to look through. Looking at the price of the Ares in Canada its about $800 which is comparable to the Razor but the Razor has the Vortex warranty as a...
