Vortex Razor UHD 8X32 and 10X32 Mid Size Binoculars
This has not been my experience. I have had several vortex pieces and have only heard of one going back in my group. I did have to take back my sst tripod after 5 years or more and had to deal with them giving me a brand new carbon fiber tripod that has been great. I've had more problems with my... -
GPO Range Guide 10x50
Doug, what is the optical difference between the Geovids? I can't find a straight answer to that anywhere. I'd be willing to pay the differences if the HB-R's or the 3200 or 2700's are optically better than the R's. Can you offer any information here? Do the more expensive Geovids just look... -
NEW Zeiss Conquest HDX Binocular Tested and Reviewed!
matt, in the review, you said that the optical performance of the HDX was better than the HD. But the example you gave was 2 feet at 1000 yards. given that the HD was made in Germany and these in Japan, is the glass in the HDX better? What do you mean by "improvement in optical performance"... -
premium vs. new optics- how do you judge ROI and relative quality
Thanks guys. I have Vortex vipers for eastern hunting. I'm pretty happy with them for finding whitetails in the woods. I am looking at using better glass out west. That's an annual elk hunt for me. I live near Vortex, and I got to borrow someone's UHD's this year, and they really blew away my... -
270 vs 7mm-08 vs 308 vs 30/06
Agree with most. I have 2 tikkas in 30-06. I keep trying to get myself to buy another rifle, and I just can't. IF I get a 270, I'll shoot 150gr bullets, but my 150gr 30-06 load is tight and I can shoot it beyond 400. I shoot 165's on elk with manageable recoil, and I can load 125 gr bullets for... -

premium vs. new optics- how do you judge ROI and relative quality
There are four schools of optics thought on here. 1. what you have is fine. Don't overthink it. Get some Vortex Vipers. 2. You get a lot of glass for $1000 Get some Nikons, conquests, Razor UHD's and so on. 3. Buy the best you can afford. You'll never regret it 4. Buy premium optics used. You... -

Kuiu Layering system feedback
yeah, I was surprised how cold I could hunt in the Kuiu attacks with the zip off wool and the woobie. My feet were always the coldest thing, and only because of sweat. I ony took out my rain gear once for a little extra. The 5 layer top- is super versitile and doesn't entail much more changing... -
Kuiu Layering system feedback
My 2 cents is that I like the 200 merino zip offs with the attack pants. I hunted that into the 20's. And with the Attacks, you can zip off the merino if it gets over 50 or so. I was also thinking your second layer is too warm if your first is short sleeved. I don't regulate well- I get hot... -
Best layering VEST option - SG Cirque Lite, Kuiu Kenai, or Sitka Kelvin Aerolite?
I have the Kings transition vest and had the first generation transition jacket (lost it). I LOVED the jacket (and I don't love the new version as much- I preferred the delicate, very light version), and I almost never took the vest off on my Idaho hunt this year. IF you can get it for a... -
Impressed with Kings Camo
One key difference between Kings and Kuiu (for example), is the shape they expect hunters to be. Compare the transition Jacket in Kings with the Kenai in Kuiu. These are similar in layering position, and do a similar job in a kit. A Large in Kings has a 48in chest, and only a 32in sleeve... -
Down Puffy - Kuiu Super Down Pro vs Kings Camo
I have worn the lighter down Kuiu and the Kings. The kings jacket is a really solid jacket for it's weight. If you can get a deal on it, I would totally recommend it as a kit piece. It will do the "light puffer" job really well as a 4th or 5th layer. None of these are "winter coats"- they are... -

Are you willing to share what you were able to achieve in terms of accuracy, and with which loads? With 400+ rounds through it, you'd at least know what factory ammo it likes, right? Looks like you tried at least 5 bullets.- nagibson1

NEW Zeiss Conquest HDX Binocular Tested and Reviewed!
a little more on HD vs HDX please? I'm not exactly moved by the 2ft of FOV at 1000yds. Is the optical quality better for $300-400 more? Or is it the same? -
New Vortex Viper HD 11-33x50 Spotter
The Razor version is $649 at Sierra right now. I used one on my last hunt and I was real happy with it. A lot lighter than my 65 objective viper. I agree that the focus knob is the worst feature. I definitely preferred the index finger knobs on my nikon- they were much better at getting accurate... -
Vortex Viper HD vs Razor HD 10x42
A few guys have compared the Vortex UHD's wit the Leica Geovids. This is where my head is at. Can they or some others with experience push that comparison? I live near Vortex, and have a few friends that can get me the family discount of 50%- though some sales are better than that. I also would... -
