Nice work. My 10x42 bx4 outshine both my meopta scopes with 50 mm objectives. How did the non 56 mm scopes stack up against each other? Are you sure meopta provides the glass for the Accupoint?
I’d say that your best bet would be to find a comparable scope from the same company. That way you don’t have too many different variables. Sticking with leupold… Not exactly perfect but a 3-9x40 Vx freedom is 12.2 oz in a 1” tube and a 3-9x40 mark 3 is 15.6 oz. In a 30mm. The freedom is moa and...
Only if you like the feel of the m2 better. I’m a fan of oversized controls and a slim fore grip. The m2 with comfort stock fore grip is funky to me. The m2 field just seemed bland for the price increase.
I have both. To me the reefs are more comfortable and they look better but I wear both.

I’ve been shooting a stoeger m3500 for many years. Mainly skeet and dove. I recently decided to upgrade. Went to the local gun shop with plans to buy an m2 or affinity 3. The m2 fore grip felt bulky to me. The affinity felt good but the bolt felt rough. I handled a retay Masai Mara that was nose...
Yeah a year depending on how and where you store it. Climate matters too. I cut a bunch of hickory up and stored it under a lean-to and it took about a year and a half for it to dry up.
I’ve done it before. I tried to get 2-4” chunks. I cut them up and stored them until I forgot about them. Lol over a year depending on moisture/storage.
I lIke hickory & mesquite for beef and pork (might add fruit wood) I’m big on hickory and apple. Honestly I’d smoke salmon or turkey with hickory and do a butt with apple wood. Regardless of what I use the food is always good.
