    Missing Rifle Scope Features?

    Are you sure they don’t check zero shift? I get checking to see if it falls apart, but zero shift between shots is the top priorit’s, right? What I think really hurts these G tests vs vs your drop tests is point loading. The g test is all through the Mount which is clamped to the tube. This is...

    Oil between rail and rifle?

    I use alcohol between layers in the joint so I start with a consistent and clean joint. I am far more concerned about a metal chip tilting a base or stopping surface to surface contact. Your torque applied makes clamp load. The clamp load applied at the screw head to base holds a good joint in...

    What Does A Big $ Scope Do For You?

    There are several break through that come as you dial up in price with optics. 1) holding zero - Are you the guy who has several boxes of the same ammo, but find your self dialing a click or 2 when you check zero? After a hike, flight, car ride or when your rifle gets bumped? If so, it is not...

    Justifying cost?

    Rifles that fit the basic hunting role are certainly available for $1000 or less. You may decide your rifle needs a certain action, barrel, trigger, optic, etc. That will drive up price for marginal performance improvements. It may be a lot more fun!

    USA vs Overseas Made Packs - Is The Extra Cost Worth It?

    Your pack looks very good. It needs a hook….something that makes it undeniably better in some way. If values for price is your game, you are competing against Wildernes Pack Specialties and they are berry compliant….as in made in USA of USA materials. My first piece of advice is to review your...

    Best barrel contour for a savage pre-fit

    What rifle weight do you want and do you want the barrel to push the balance to the rest or front? I find a Rem Varmint 26” gave me an 11lb rifle on a 4lb chassis. I would build those at 22-24”. My #3 gave me an 8.5 lb rifle. 10.5lb scoped. My Bartlein 3B (others #5) gave me a 12lb rifle on a...

    Vortex Razor HD LHT 4.5-22x50mm Q&A

    Wow! Good review. I like a little honesty once in a while! I agree it should be limited, but honestly my windage cap is never coming off, unless to zero. Well, consider 308 Win at 700 yards…30 mph wind….4.8mil elevation & 5.5 wind. At 1600fps, it could still do the job. It’s the old school...

    Muzzle Break Recommendation

    APA or MBM. There are others, but those are both the top names for recoil reduction.

    First Focal Plane vs Second

    I have a hard time with this. I had SFP optics. I cannot imagine going back unless what I wanted had no choice. This is because FFP optics have accurate mil scaling. I use it for quick hold overs and all wind corrections. Why correct wind by reticle hash marks…..because it is ever changing...

    Help me decide my next scope for 300prc

    In your price range, I would be looking at Delta Stryker ( Delta Optical ) (sold on Amazon by DarnFineShot or DarnFineOptics or something like that. The DarkLordofOptics Russian guy likes them a lot at that price. I would also look at the Tract Toric models….I have the 4-20x, but too new to say...

    Vortex viper vs Meopta optika 5

    Kind of like Leupold, but with Vortex they fix your problem. I have broke 1 of 5. They replaced it with something better. It does say something about their profit margin that you always get a better one after warranty. That said, I sent a Burris XTR back twice to get a flake removed. They got...

    38 special, 357 magnum

    That really is my point. When most folks get started talking and applying defensive handguns, I find we get a large competent caliber and practice putting rounds on target. We get really good at shooting 6 44mag rounds into a 4”-6” group.. Then we take a class, have an actual experience or...

    Sold Bell and Carlson Winchester m70 La

    Free bump. I can tell you that I have one of these and it is a truly excellent hunting rifle stock. The cheekpiece puts my eye perfectly inline behind my 3-15x44 Vortex. Very similar feel as a M70 wood stock.

    38 special, 357 magnum

    Are you hunting or hiking, I’m in griz country a lot in MT. If I’m hunting, I have my rifle. If hiking, I would most likely carry a 357 mag. Based on my experience sketchy human is much more likely than angry griz. I think I can get more rounds down range with a 357 than a 44 mag. I’d rather...
