Mounted on a 223, took it to the range to zero and it hasn’t left the safe since. Still mounted, may be some light ring marks (won’t know until I pull it), but otherwise like new. Have original box etc. This is the SFP MIL version.

Pnuma makes an awesome heavy puffy. A cheap option is the browning super puffy parka - I have worn mine in alaska for two Moose hunts and it has been awesome. It has a windproof/water resistant shell that is fire. Its on clearance at optics planet right now.
I have spent a lot of time behind mine bear and elk hunting and never noticed any kidney beaning. I don’t wear eye glasses, so maybe it would be an issue if you did.
I have gone to benchmades with S30v or S90v. I can skin and quarter/debone an entire elk without feeling I need a touch up. With their lifesharp program, I haven’t needed to sharpen a knife in years.
I do have an outdoor edge replaceable blade knife. I have never had a blade break on them...
Worth a read. Bullet is more important than cartridge. Some would consider a 243 overkill for bull elk. If I could only keep one rifle for all my big game hunting including elk and moose it would be my 6mm CM...
Looking for a Nissan Frontier or Toyota Tacoma. 4x4. 4 or 6 cyl doesnt matter. Single cab, double cab, crew cab etc Would like 2015 or newer and less than 100k miles. Would like to be close to $20k, but that isnt a hard limit. Have cash and am willing to fly wherever I need to pick it up...
All my varmint/coyote rifles have 5-20 or 5-25 power scopes on them. My 223 has a tenmile 5-25, 6 ARC has a trijicon 5-20 and my 6 CM has a nightforce NXS 5.5-22x56.
