    6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

    Holy Toledo! Nice work. Would it be too much to ask to put the bullet and velo...? J/K, but seriously.

    Heater Body Suit still the best for cold stands?

    I agree, wet and hovering around 0 is cold. I have other gear for those temps though. If I was sitting on stand in a cold Kentucky rain and somebody handed me an IWOM, I wouldn't turn it down. The IWOM looks good, just didn't check off my boxes as much. Based on our different units of...

    Low light comparison of 17 scopes

    That TT, LRH MRAD reticle looks nice. Good spacing, bold outer posts. Price tag is a bit much though. For my budget the Trijicon Huron BDC works. I could do without the useless windage hashes, and make outer posts bolder and closer together. I guess there is a reason manufacturers are still...

    Heater Body Suit still the best for cold stands?

    Below freezing it’s kinda a non issue. Unless your in an area with heavy wet snow all day. Which in that case its not cold enough out to be wearing that kind of gear.

    Heater Body Suit still the best for cold stands?

    Another vote for HBS. No experience with IWOM. HBS is a bit tricky for treestand use. Put it on while on the ground first. When it’s that cold I generally set up ground blind anyways. Arms inside was my preference. No issues getting out for a shot. Bow and rifle. Get the over boots and use...

    Tikka stock questions

    Compact stock, vertical grip and I like these as an easy cheek riser fix. Just about perfect for me with sportsmatch rings. https://kickeezproducts.com/collections/shooting-accessories/products/cheek-eez?srsltid=AfmBOopJJBDoUKhk_xHctOtgt87MCoNa-WZdvGXBHkuIRHnjT8DIKw2n

    Lo and behold they’re available up here. Should do the trick to get brass as well.

    Thanks I’ll look into that. Up in Canada so not as much availability for ammo/powder though

    6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

    Has anyone ever tried loading reduced loads for a .243 for hunting purposes? Rifle, load, results on game? Trying to decide if it’s worth tracking down different powders.

    1) Rebarreled Tikka to .284 Win (Kills things like my old .300 WSM Finnlight, just easier to shoot) 2) Atlantic Rancher Ranger Sweater- This thing is legit 3) Montbell Upland Puffy- Sub $200, 7.1oz fill weight and 19oz -Great performance and price for a niche jacket.

    Tikka T3X Compact recoil pad?

    From your final picture it looks like finished LOP is 12.75”. Is this correct?

    Low light comparison of 17 scopes

    Having used both I prefer the thinner. Good thing scope manufacturers make options for a variety people. Posted those numbers so people are aware of the different thickness in reticles, specifically for Trijicon. As a reference, standard leupold duplex is 0.3 Reticle thickness is subjective...

    Low light comparison of 17 scopes

    Only reason I recommended MIL was thinner duplex measurements, nothing to do with holdover. German #4 has thicker outer lines and draws the eye to the middle if last light shooting is a concern. To be honest though, I doubt there is enough difference between standard duplex and #4 to make you...

    Low light comparison of 17 scopes

    Your right, it didn't hinder me from killing a deer, antelope and coyote that fall. For me though it was too thick especially with other options available. I would still have it if it had the same dimensions as the MIL version. For a more budget friendly alternative, the Huron would be my pick...

    Low light comparison of 17 scopes

    Just an FYI. The Accupoint 3-9 standard plex has a thickness of 0.5 MOA and the MIL dot reticle has a thickness of about 0.17 MOA. The dot is the same for both at 0.4 MOA. I had the standard duplex accupoint and it was too thick for my liking. I now have a Huron 3-12x40 and the plex thickness...

    6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

    Much better with the link added. List doesn't include the 95 NBT, but has been brought up numerous times as a great option. Especially for non LRH applications and 1:10 barrels.
