@Formidilosus
First, thanks for doing this test and reporting results. Supremely helpful.
Second, any thoughts on how a properly built Mauser 98 may have performed in such a test? We always hear about how they were “designed for war time conditions” back in the day.
Heard back from S&B after asking for a PMII in 3-12x42 with THLR reticle, FFP and Mil adjust. Here is what they said..
"Thank you for reaching out and thank for your suggestion. Reticle design is a science for itself and there is a lot of discussion here internally about this I can tell you...
Curious Form, could you speak to this with walnut stocks?
For example, legendary stockmaker Jerry Fisher inlets his kiln then aged dried walnut stocks fully neutral without bedding material and without any gap between wood and metal. Would the walnut be stiff enough to resist varying torque...
I know this is likely well beyond a long shot but giving it a try anyways.
Like title says, looking for a SWFA SS Classic/Tactical fixed 10x scope with mil-quad reticle and rear focus. OEM P/N#SS10X42MQ
Please, nothing with damage or ring marks. I am located in Canada but able to use a USA...
Form, thinking you need to talk to your friends at NF into a Formidilosus designed reticle. Thomas did it with Minox, Cal Zant did it with Leica, only seems fitting that you do one with NF. Just saying’ 😁
Form is always here with a taste of reality to crush our hopes and dreams - lol
Keeping my fingers crossed NF offers something either in NX8 or NXHUNT that has lower magnification (maybe 2-16), 42mm objective, capped turrets and weights 19-25oz.
With SWFA not shipping to Canada, my options...
As an admirer of extremely well made (and designed) products, I truly appreciate the build quality and repeatably of Nightforce. So, I am continuously searching for the slightest hint of the latest product releases from Nightforce. In my latest search, I came across this annual report about...
Count me in on not cleaning as well. Couple years ago I learn from Form on not cleaning and Tikka’s. Bought myself a 223 T3x SS and have never cleaned it. Just a hair under 3000 rounds and all is well. I am far happier for it, I despised cleaning and rarely shot because of it.
Form, is the Arcteryx COLD WX SVX Parka and Bib fairly quiet? Being made of a nylon weave I am concerned about the noise. For the thick woods hunting I do, to have a deer come within a few feet is not uncommon so noise is a concern. Last year I was tree standing hunting in -30C (-22F) with...
