    Most common field position on big game animals?

    Keep in mind that I have a RRS TFCT-34L w/ Anvil head so it's an extremely beefy tripod for the primary purpose of shooting (it's like 5 pounds). I clip a RRS PT-Scout pan head into it for glassing that I can remove and replace with my rifle, via my rifle's ARCA rail, in about 5 seconds. But the...

    Most common field position on big game animals?

    Went on a pronghorn hunt with my father and both of us shot ours at 360 yards fully standing from my tripod (different situations/locations/days). First time either of us have shot game from the standing position. Last year I shot my coues deer at 380 yards from my tripod in the sitting...

    New Kahles 328i FOV

    I saw that too and was referencing that price as it happens. A couple Gen 2XR reticles ones came up for $3,200 and $3,500 which was wild to me.

    New Kahles 328i FOV

    Oddly enough, after that post I saw a used TT 5-25 come up for sale for about the same price as a new Kahles 328i and my ADHD got the better of me.

    Ring height question

    Depends on your shooting style and comfort. Mount the scope as high as you need to in order to be comfortable behind it. Higher rings mean you have to roll your head a little less when getting behind it but don't mount so high you can't get a good cheek or jaw weld on the stock. Obviously...

    My rifle scope saga continues…

    Well the 6-36 has freakish FOV and eyebox, plus I was shooting a 14.5# rifle in 6.5CM with a suppressor (fully standing off my tripod). So 15 sounds like a lot but it's not with that setup.

    My rifle scope saga continues…

    I'll second that. I just got back from a pronghorn hunt with a Razor 6-36 (I don't have a real hunting scope at the moment) and shot mine on 15 power.

    Q&A for Minox ZP5 5-25x56mm THLR scope

    Do you think an ATACR is still a safer bet on zero retention?

    Q&A for Minox ZP5 5-25x56mm THLR scope

    @Formidilosus how many of these have you run into apart from the one you're testing? And if you have been able to test others, how have they held up?

    Which optics to upgrade first

    I'd personally go with upgrading the binos first depending on your upgrade budget.

    New Kahles 328i FOV

    Do you have other high end scopes that you might compare its eyebox to? With a FOV that huge I do wonder about the eyebox.

    Images: Hunting with KRG Bravo

    I know this is a pretty niche thing but figured I'd mention it in here anyway. KRG's ARCA rails and their ARCA spigot are now R-Lock compatible, I just confirmed with them. Convinced me to grab a spigot for my Bravo for hunting. Had a non R-lock one on my Whiskey-3 that my bipod almost walked...

    MDT CRBN Stock

    If you're willing to take the additional 3oz, it gives more options if your hunting style involves shooting off a tripod.

    MDT CRBN Stock

    I'm almost 100% sure when I upgrade the stock on my hunting rifle (from a KRG Bravo), it'll be to a Manners LRH. I know I'll like the ergos of the grip since I miss my EH1A after I sold it. I know I can order it direct from Manners with a reduced LOP like 13" but I need to figure out if Manners...

    MDT CRBN Stock

    That's kind of what I imagined. I had the same happen on a KRG ARCA spigot. Now I use R-Lock + RRS SC-ARC clamp for everything.

    Helene destroyed my hunting season

    To make matters worse, less than 1% of people in Asheville (for example) had flood insurance. Understandably so but that's going to make it so much worse.

    MDT CRBN Stock

    Looks like MDT finally came out with the traditional stock version of their Hnt26. I'd like the grip to be slightly more vertical. I'd also prefer for the integral ARCA to have R-Lock slots machined into it like their ACC Elite does but it would probably compromise the integrity of the rail...

    What should I know for long range match?

    I recently stumbled across a very good (relatively) series by, surprisingly, Best of the West. And it wasn't even really a product advertisement thing either. They brought in Phillip Velayo and did a 6 part series (I'll link one part below) going through a bunch of pretty useful stuff with...

    Suppressors - first round impact shift

    I've got 6 TBAC cans and none have done this.

    Port Strike

    I swear Reagan (who was the leader of the SAG union and led an actors strike prior to becoming president, so he liked unions when they benefitted him) caused this country to develop boot-seeking tongues.
