    Vortex Optics - Customer Service Experience

    I've bought 4 Vortex products. All scopes. All failed. Replacements failed. Sold 2nd set of replacements when they came in. Crossfire, Diamondback, Viper, Razor. Compared to all other scopes I've used in 51 years, 3 failed. Yeah junk to me.

    Vortex Optics - Customer Service Experience

    Never looked for an elk, so you'd be correct. Doesn't mean that 80% of Vortex sales volume isn't junk.

    How many of you keep a gun you will never use in the woods?

    Yep they are heavy, but the extra weight and pump action helps to stay in the scope vs a bolt action.

    Help with recoil calc: 7mag vs 6cm

    How the stock fits me and quality of recoil pad means as much to my "felt" recoil as any #s do. Can't compare apples to oranges and expect the #s to work.

    143 ELD-X blew up on the shoulder?

    Point of shoulder is usually better to keep tip from scooting, but yeah I was picturing more of an angle.

    Scope Leveling; Instruction that ran counter to everything I thought I knew

    I don't shoot game over 400 yards anymore. Too shaky these days. Most shots 100-250 yards

    143 ELD-X blew up on the shoulder?

    Just shoot em in the head or neck at 90 and stay off the quartering shoulder. Tipped soft bullet and big angle on the shoulder invites trouble. Tip likes to do the boot scoot boogie. I did it at steep angle on a sternum 20 years ago with 270 sst 130 gr. Deer hopped up and ran like a scalded dog...

    Scope Leveling; Instruction that ran counter to everything I thought I knew

    I adjust my crosshairs so they are level when I first throw the rifle up. Most of my shots are immediate snapshots, or within a few seconds. Doesn't make sense to me to level a scope to an unnatural position for me.

    143 ELD-X blew up on the shoulder?

    Based on seeing severely distorted old school Core-lokts and Power Points back in the 70s and 80s, under 200 yards the tip doesn't matter nearly as much as you would think. I saw this from 308, 30-06 and 270. The older hunters didn't pay the abused tips any attention and still made good shots...

    What's your most accurate hunting rifle?

    What bullet do you send out of the laser beam? I'm getting low on 150gr NBT mine likes.

    Outfitters banning bergers?!

    I've s I've shot well over 100 deer with NBT and never seen that happen. Like Hornady SST, I have seen exits just a hair bigger than caliber size where just the hard bullet base exited. Insides were soup where front of bullet fragmented though.

    Outfitters banning bergers?!

    Then the question of splatter bullet vs sure fire exit for blood trail comes in

    Ballistic tip Noslers penciling through? On what alternate planet does this happen?

    Outfitters banning bergers?!

    Yes sir the stupidity is real. You don't know til you know. I shot at a decent buck yesterday evening running a big doe. 150 yard snap shot freehand. He got back into the thicket before I could send another round. From 52 deer seasons experience, I would have bet and gave someone really good...
