How essential is a vest in a layering system

I love having a vest or even two (fleece or wool lined and down or primaloft). I guess we could get fancy and call it "body mapping insulation." lol

Kowa 602 vs Nikon ED50, had them together for a couple hours today.

Try putting a Kowa 30x WA eyepiece (TE-14WD) and tell me what you think. I got a 664 off ebay for $600 with a 20-60 eyepiece. Got a 30x WA eyepiece for $265 and it is sweet and adds some extra eye relief. I don't believe the 602 is waterproof and not fan of spotters less than 60mm.

My Rig

Sub-MOA...the Sims pad does a good job taming the recoil too.

My Rig

I won this 700 XCR a couple of years ago in a raffle. Finally had a reason to shoot it...7mm Rem Mag and it shoots well. Put a Timney trigger in set at 1.75lbs.

What distances on the kill shots? I believe you BTH and appreciate your experience.

Am I splitting hairs?

To be honest, I never noticed the 2-3" difference ATA hunting from trees or not but do on accuracy and forgiveness. I'd rather cut a limb off the tree.

What would you do?

Accept it and donate it to wildlife or a dream hunt for a terminally ill kid.

Bullet...Berger VLD

I was shooting my Rem 700 7mm Rem Mag the other night and found that it LOVES the 168gr VLD hunting round. It seems there has been some discussion on the effectiveness of that bullet (kills). The common theme is it vaporizes the internals whereas some other bullets have better controlled...

Picatinny rail

Thanks for the rail and it did the job. After breaking in the barrel, I got sub-MOA using factory ammo with a 20mph crosswind last night...very happy.

Picatinny rail

I do have a set of medium height rings but you would think a 0MOA would be fine.

Swaro Z3 4-12x50 BRH on a Rem 700 XCR 7mm Rem Mag. This just seems odd.

Picatinny rail

So I put one on a rifle and my bullets are wayyyyyy low to where I can't even dial it up enough (bottom of paper).. I thought I put it on right with the thicker end towards rear. Should it be reversed?

Torque specs for TPS

The weird thing is I cannot find the exact info from TPS and quite surprised all they offer is snug hand tight. It seems like 25 on the scope clamp is a little tight. I am using 1" rings.
