Sorry if the post was misleading in any way. I'm not frustrated with the 308. The optic failed and vortex took care of me. I fully plan on upgrading my optics. I like my 308. Its one hell of a shooter. So is the 30-06. I tend to gravitate more to the 30-06 over the 308. The 308 is now my...
That's good to know. And I'm fully aware its not a great scope, so there's no defending it from me. I had to make some cuts somewhere and plan to upgrade later. Getting into hunting is expensive! :)
I've been looking at Maven 4x16x44 and even the Viper 3x15x44
Thanks for the advice everyone! This website has been super helpful. I've been going back and forth on this... And my 308 is a total tack driver, so that makes it more difficult thinking about parting with it. I'm running a 250 yard zero on both rifles, so I really don't even need to make an...
Right on thanks for the advice. I'm using the Crossfire II 4x12x44. Its nothing fancy. I really like the large eye relief for being a novice. I felt like it was a good starter scope. The water intrusion issue started by the vortex defender caps popping open when I was hiking with the rifle...
Hi everyone! Long time reader, first time poster..
Little backstory, I just got into hunting. Last season was my first deer and elk hunt. Although I was unsuccessful, I had an absolute blast! Before last season, the largest rifle I ever fired was a Ruger 10/22. After tons of research and...
I would have no issues recommending a CVA cascade to anyone. I dig mine. Try a tikka and see how it feels. Try a cascade. You can’t go wrong with either. This is my cascade 30-06 at 100 yards playing with some different ammo..
I bought a CVA Cascade in 30-06 a few months ago. I really like it. It shoots sub MOA. Seems to really dig Federal Terminal Ascent and Hornady Precision Hunter ELD-X. The trigger is crisp and the action is very smooth. When I got it, the trigger adjuster screw was so loose it almost fell...
Last season was my first time ever hunting. I bought the Killik Axiom rain gear. First day of elk season, it was an atmospheric river... I have to say the Axiom gear kept me pretty dry! Its ok stuff, but I ended up tearing the pants on some black berry thorns, but Sportsman's replaced them...
