    Low light comparison of 17 scopes

    This is an older Zeis Conquest that has a really good #4 reticle. I've used it since 2011 i believe. I'm sure it's not a "tough" scope, but has held zero for normal deer hunting. I have ffp scopes, and like has been posted here, the reticle is the key and where many fail.

    Sitka Fanatic Sizing - L or XL?

    I'm 5-10, 175 and need a L to be able to have any layers underneath. Could wear a M, but would only be able to have a baselayer under the jacket.

    Would you buy this scope?

    Absolutely would purchase this, as long as the reticle was at least as good as SWFA. Have not looked through a Maven personally, but all seem to like the reticle. I have a 3-12 LRHS, and the reticle is not good to me in the woods, not bold enough to my eyes.

    6.5 Creedmoor/260 for Deer, Elk, and whatever else.....

    Rl 22 or 23 will get you to 2700 or more with a 147 as well. I have a 21" Fieldcraft and get over 2760 with very good accuracy using 22 or 23. No pressure signs that I can tell.

    Has Kryptek fell off the map for clothing?

    Kryptek at Camofire prices is a great bargain. The Vellus jacket and Aegis at sale prices cannot be beat in my opinion for whitetail hunting.

    Tikka .308 questions

    I would shoot it first. If it shoots well, it doesn't matter if there is a long jump to the lands.

    I Like my Crispis, but I want a wider toe box

    The Thor wide is very good for my feet and Mendle is also a wide boot.

    Rotating Case while Seating Bullets?

    G David Tubb was a proponent of that, and I've always done it with standard dies after hearing his recommendation. Never tested it to see if it makes a difference however.

    Model 70 classic stainless not grouping

    Make sure the action screw is not super tight. Over tightening in a m70 can sometimes cause issues.

    Talk to me about E-Bikes

    I bought a decent bike (500) with 2.5 " tires and put a 1000w front wheel motor on it, total cost was 1100. I've had it 3 years. I didn't want 4" tires as my biggest use is logging roads in PA big woods. It works great for the intended use but as was said before, big hills are a no go. I also...

    S&B lost zero x3

    I have a PMII that has been sent in twice for loss of zero as well. Mine was bought around 2004 and was shot almost weekly for 15 years or so on a 308. I will say, mine was one with a reticle installed by Premier back when they had the Marine contract, so that may be the issue. Service was good...

    Recommendations for sweaty feet

    I'm follow this, as my feet sweat badly as well. I wear non insulated Crispi boots and light to mid weight Darn Tough socks and make sure I am cold leaving the truck. When it's cold I use insulated boot covers. If I'm walking in anywhere over a half mile, I can't keep my feet from sweating. I...

    Anyone shooting Sierra 165 BTHP Game King in 308?

    Very good bullet that usually exits with internal mush, just not a long range bullet.

    What’s your go to hunting accuracy load for 308 win?

    As farmcritter stated, a very common load for years was 44.0-45.0 Varget with a 175/178 @ 2650-2700 fps. Factory rifles tended to be closer to 45 gr and custom barrels closer to 44. With the 155 Scenar I'm closer to 47 gr and with the 190 Berger I'm at 43.5. AMU load at one time was 43.7 with a...

    Tree Saddle Kits

    Your going to have to try some out, no way around it. I have an H2 and an ESS and those are all I've ever used. Tether height and bridge length have a lot to do with comfort and again are really individual based. Also knees on a pad or knee pads are individual. You really just need to take your...

    Short quotes that speak volumes.

    Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen. Love is when your puppy locks your face even after you left him alone all day.
