    nightforce atacr 5-25x56 versus swarovski x5 5-25x56?

    after a few days behind the x5 5-25x56 right next to my current nightforce nxs 3.5-15x50 i have made my mind up on this saga.... honestly for my eyes the x5 being $1400 is barely better glass wise for my eyes....not enough to keep at least for me, the proprietary tool needed to adjust bothers as...

    nightforce atacr 5-25x56 versus swarovski x5 5-25x56?

    Ya ill be running a tall target test for sure if i keep it. On the fence.. I agree it seems counter productive to be limited in elevation as it is on the 5-25. Especially for a long range scope and add the high$ to it i think your spot on the 18x is bout right be it elevation and weight wise...

    nightforce atacr 5-25x56 versus swarovski x5 5-25x56?

    Distanse wise up to 2000 yards max. My 3.5-15 does well enough at 1600yrds but at times think more mag would be better. Its more of a want thsn need im thinking. Never shot with a scope with more than 15x. As far as the 5-25 not tracking, this may apply to that, spoke with swaro about adjusting...

    nightforce atacr 5-25x56 versus swarovski x5 5-25x56?

    appears the x5 has no experience here beyond ryan based on a search... i have one in a 5-25x56 non illum 4wx reticle, and a nxs that ive used for a while that is 3.5-15x50. i like the nf stuff but wanted to try more mag at longer d with the best glass i could get for a proper $. waiting for nf...

    yup... tape had no p.o.i change with brake. cold bore at 856 was spot on. thanks for the replys.

    using tape on muzzlebrakes

    not really worrying.... curious. as i stated ill find out for myself. figured i would add others experience to what i find. in the end ill shoot both through a chrono cuz it matters. at long d variations in velocity makes a miss. thanks for the reply.

    using tape on muzzlebrakes

    thanks.... i think ill just try both, balloon and tape. i think either will change the natural state of the brakes effect though be it minimal. an obstruction of sort in the bore would be worse.

    ballistics app

    maybe think about a kestrel 5700 elite with applied ballistics. ive validated my current load out to 1025 yards with mine and like that im reading the actual environment conditions not a weather station near to calculate my shot. i by far have not the experience of others ryan etc... but ive...

    using tape on muzzlebrakes

    never have shot a muzzlebrake with tape on to keep debry out. i always put tape on guns with no brake with no issues from doing so. first rifle with a brake. the ovious is to just pull the trigger and see what happens be it noise and accuracy etc.... was curious though what others have...

    Rifle weight

    no one hear ever said a lightweight rifle was unreliable nor a scope that only holds over. my rifles configured like that are for specific terrain and i value them for what they are. i did mention i had bad experience with scopes that dialed that differ from what i use now. not sure where you...

    Rifle weight

    have to try that.... maybe cut my barrel and tooth brush in half as well.... not sure how a 6 1/2 pound gun with a scope i can trust with target turrets is heavy totaling 8 1/2 pounds? what matters most imop is you enjoy your time spent on the mountain and trusting your weapon. i dont trust the...

    Rifle weight

    whatever makes you happy........ i dont count my weapons weight for pack weight cuz its never there unless i need both hands climbing. to each there own. i dont count my binos either nor range finder.. why? cuz there in my chest bino case on my chest. pretty simple concept. if its not in or on...

    Rifle weight

    id say id depends on the max distance you choose to pull the trigger on game and what caliber as well as if there is a bi pod involved etc... the rifle i am using this year started out at 6.5 pounds bare, CA ridgeline, 300 rum and now is at 10 1/2 pounds. would be 8 1/2 pounds with just scope i...
