I’m giving up for now on the nonexistent 6x SWFA. I need a scope. Since I limit myself to 400 yards. Is there a good scope option with hold over reticles and not dialing turrets that the RS crew recommends ? PFA

Well heck that makes my life a lot easier. I should have started here before searching the last 2 days lol. Thanks !

Who has used the SWFA 10x without issues for hunting ? I want the 6X but they appear to be very difficult to find. The 10x is in stock and also in the classifieds. My shots are routinely 200 plus on deer

2 late season doe tonight. Shots were 150 ish. 20” AR. 77 tmk. Doe all spooked so I didn’t have much time to shoot. Both bang flops. I lost both front shoulders but didn’t have to track them! I’m done shooting behind the shoulder. I much prefer bang flops ! Sorry no pics. Lungs were mush. I love...
Old habits I guess. As a bow hunter I am just so use to tucking everything behind the shoulder. Going tomorrow again. Will aim for shoulders and report back. A bang flop would be sweet

I agree sir. But out of my 5 kills so far the shortest blood trail was 30 yards and the other 4 were well over 70-80 yards. One ran 120 or so. In thick woods a 70-80 yard track is near impossible without blood. You can walk right past a deer and not see it in a thicket.

If I lose another deer to the 5.56 tmk I’m going to switch as well. For people hunting in thick wooded areas like me a lack of blood trail can be a lost deer easily. I’ll go back to my 7 mag to be honest with a 162 Eldm. I like bang flops.

When you found her were the insides mush or did it pencil through? I heard the bullet smack her. Bummer deal when it happens.

I’m agreeing with you there bud. I think it’s definitely possible I hit a little low and maybe that’s why she bucked up on her rear legs. Kinda wild how we found the jacket. Will try again this week.

Bummed to report my first loss with the 77s. Doe at 190 yards. Broadside. Shot was right behind shoulder in the crease. I saw the impact through scope. She bucked up on her back legs like a heart shot and ran into the thicket behind her. Searched for 2 hours and no blood. Did find the bullet...
With rifle season starting tomorrow I can’t decide if I wanna take the 73 Eldm or 77 TMKs. 5 harvest with 77s. None yet with the 73s. Maybe I should initiate the 73s. Goodluck to all

Bear creek just dropped a line of 6 ARC uppers. Just FYI. Going to be tempting for sure.
