    Hunting bullet performance - prefer through or a grenade inside?

    100% !! It depends on where you’re hunting and what you’re hunting. My daughter shot a deer this year that was little far back. After the shot he ran about 50 yards and stood right at the edge of 6ft tall crp for about 2 minutes before going down in sight. Shooting 6creed 103eldx suppressed...

    Toyota Tacoma Advantages

    yeah they are handy. The last one i had was the most expensive one ive owned and it had the most issues. Seems like price keeps going up and quality keeps going down. Just like everything though.

    Euro mount costs.

    If ya havnt ever tried the baquacil ozidizer, give it a go. Its 27% peroxide. I put skull in small plastic shoe tote and fill it up with ozidizer just below antler bases. Then put a paper towel over exposed top of skull and wet it with a turkey baster. It gets then whiter than anything ive used...

    Euro mount costs.

    Yeah thats real close to what i do. There are some die hard skull guys that insist the only proper way is macerating, which in turns results in long degreasing process and often times gluing back bones and teeth. No doubt it does a phenomenal job that way but 99% of people looking at getting a...

    Euro mount costs.

    If its a simple simmer, powerwash, whiten, then its about $100-125 around here. If you want it properly degreased then double it at least. No plaque.

    Toyota Tacoma Advantages

    I’ve owned 6 polaris rangers. 3 where northstar editions. Where i live we can drive them in town also. The last one I bought was an ultimate crew northstar and they are pushing close to $40k. I was putting about 7-9k miles on them per year. If i kept it for 4 years i would have around 30k miles...

    Yep! I went and bought a 2023 tacoma when i seen the 24’s. New models are 4cyl turbo for $50k + And if you want a hybrid 4cyl with shocks on the back of the seats your looking close to $70k. Pretty insane. Even my 23 has too many unnecessary bells and whistles but last year for the v6 so...

    I apologize. Should of clarified better. I was meaning dialing and holdover for the same axis. Now if you are someone who prefers to dial both elevation and windage then duplex makes sense. But im like you, i think dialing elevation and holding for windage is the the way to go. And yeah...

    Im convinced if a company made a ffp standard duplex scope and got influencers to tell you its the latest and greatest, people would buy em.

    Yep and most people just buy em because some influencer or guy on a forum said it was the best instead of asking questions about why i would ever need this.

    I agree with everything you said and everything about your setup makes logical sense to me.

    Help me understand the reasoning of modern optics

    Yeah i know it doesn’t exist. Im just asking why it doesn’t. Seems like a pretty logical question. The closest thing to it is probably the number one selling hunting scope in America. Unfortunately its not very reliable.

    It almost sounds like you are trying to make it sound like im saying you dont need to account for wind? Or that fov is not important? That is not at all what im trying to say. Im saying that if im have an exposed turret that is designed for dialing, i see no reason to clutter things up with a...

    Yep which is why i think a windplex reticle in ffp would be great. Imo perfect hunting scope would be 2 to 3 - 10 to 15ish mag. 40 to 44 mm obj. FFP simple windage reticle with capped windage turrets. Exposed locking elevation turret with nothing in reticle for elevation. And small...

    Yeah that will make ya want to kick rocks. It just seems like such a simple fix to know your dial is where ya left it. But as someone posted above, there have been lawsuits when other companies put them on. Such a bummer.

    Im really glad to hear that not many people are having issues with turret spinning on them. That makes me feel way more confident in getting one since most the scopes im looking at don’t lock. Just that when ya have a bad experience with something its hard to go back to it. Although it was...

    Help me understand the reasoning of modern optics

    Sure , i can understand that and wouldnt disagree with either. Everyone has their own preferences. Im just saying there are people who wont buy a scope because it doesn’t have locking turrets. There probably isnt many people that wont buy a scope they want because it does have locking turrets.

    Help me understand the reasoning of modern optics

    No i get your point on fov. And yes leupold are pretty well junk anymore. But you cannot tell me that a locking turret is not better and that the majority of people looking for a hunting scope (not target) wouldnt prefer locking. And i cant imagine someone not buying a scope because it has...
