    Scope Choice for Long Action Rifle

    Ok, I may get booted for beating this dead horse… but I need some help! I thought I had my scope choice figured out. I settled on the ZCO ZC420 for my custom 7PRC long range hunting rifle. It’s everything I wanted (minus the weight). I called to order it, and the salesman pointed out that it may...

    FFP Scope choice for 7PRC Elk Rifle?

    Yeah, that’s been on my mind as well. Not sure if I’ll be able to get the ZC420 far enough back for proper eye relief. Hopefully someone can weigh in on that subject. Outside of its 36mm tube, the dimensions look similar to a 3-18 Mark 5 or Kahles…

    FFP Scope choice for 7PRC Elk Rifle?

    Thanks for that feedback. Yeah I agree the size, weight and performance are everything I’m looking for, but poor eyebox forgiveness trumps almost anything else for me.

    Scope Choice for 7PRC Elk gun?

    Johnnyred, you may have just saved the day. I’ve been filtering wrong for the Mark5. The illuminated options weren’t popping up for me. I was literally on the phone about to buy that ZCO420… but this made me pump the brakes. Thank you

    Scope Choice for 7PRC Elk gun?

    I did. All of my other rifles wear a Leupold. The Mark 5s are actually what we used in that long range course I mentioned. My only issue is that they aren’t illuminated. That’s a deal breaker for me. (And I’ve heard of tracking/durability issues)

    FFP Scope choice for 7PRC Elk Rifle?

    Thanks for the link. I just read through the Zeiss review and immediately ruled that one out. I’m sure it’s fine for a bench gun, but my instincts were correct… those turrets wouldn’t bode well in the woods.

    FFP Scope choice for 7PRC Elk Rifle?

    I’ve been on the SFP scope train for my entire life, but recently I attended a 3 day “Long Range Rifle” course, and now I’m all-in on the FFP’s. With that said, I now need one for my 7PRC which will be primarily used on Colorado Elk. My Rifle is still being built, but it will weigh somewhere...

    Scope Choice for 7PRC Elk gun?

    I’ve seen that pop up a few times on here. It wasn’t on my radar, but I’ll give it a look.

    Scope Choice for 7PRC Elk gun?

    Great feedback, thank you. When I started down this optic rabbit hole, I called around to different guide services/outfitters and rifle builders to gather opinions. Originally the NightForce NX8 2.5-20 was at the top of my list but many of those calls I made had the same response which was...

    Feel free to lay out your long answer. Why those choices over what I listed?

    Scope Choice for 7PRC Elk gun?

    New here, and looking for some opinions. I have a custom 7PRC on order and I’m looking for a higher end scope to top it off. I’ve narrowed it down, and can go one of two ways… a lighter (23oz) weight 2nd focal plane with BT -or- a heavier (33oz) FFP with BT capable of reaching out a little...

    Ever Used Your Sidearm While Hunting?

    Yeah I’m curious about opinions on caliber too (not to highjack your thread). Would a 10mm suffice or is a larger revolver round the preferred way to go? Leaning 10mm for weight consideration.

    Knee problems

    I’m certainly no doctor, but I do have a lot of experience with mountain climbing, backpacking and knee pain. As some others mentioned, stretching helps! But one thing that helped my knees the most was strengthening my muscles AROUND my knees (recommended by my doc). If you significantly...

    Need a new rangefinder

    Man, I just went down that rabbit hole before last elk season, and finally settled on the Maven RF1. It’s phenomenal. They have a significant military discount as well, AND, they have a program where they’ll send it to you to try before you buy. I swear by the RF1. It’s a little bulky compared...

    Are you stuck on Vortex? There are much better options out there for the money…

    Jealous of all these stories… I’ve yet to experience a “quick” hunt.
