    I use this scope and it is fine during legal shooting hours. The light up retical is needed in real dim conditions

    Is it all Leopolds

    No one is more zealous than a convert. And you don’t use eld-m bullets…. Yet.

    Is it all Leopolds

    There is no one who wants a bullet proof leupold more than me. You are dead on. “Reason number one we miss: we suck.” I killed a pile of animals with a leupold, but there is a reason I don’t own one any more.

    Is it all Leopolds

    Zero. They don’t track zero.

    Is it all Leopolds

    It’s not a big stretch. I see the guys who post “mine has never lost zero” all the time. Thousands of rounds and big game animals over 400 yards is not in their wheelhouse. Not stupid, just an observation. You may be the exemption. I take the killing of big game far more seriously than...

    Is it all Leopolds

    I’ve never had a leupold that kept zero. Always a little off. Not enough to miss at 200 yards, but always off. None would hold zero on any sort of impact. I’d wager most guys who say “mine has never lost zero” shoot a box of ammo a year and call it good and don’t kill much beyond 200 yards. They...

    First time hunting, got my buck but unsure about ammo for next year...

    Congratulations on your first deer! You are also asking the right questions. I see you were aiming "behind the shoulder", which is where i was taught to hold as a kid. The idea is hitting a deer here will waste little meat. My personal experience is this is not the best spot to put a bullet for...

    Spacer kit for MDT long action magazine?

    My main rifle is a tikka that lives in an @XLR chassis, inletted for the long action magazine. Currently I have the 3.56 MDT magazines that run great in the chassis. I am adding a few barrels to my line up, including a .223 and possible 6arc Does anyone make a spacer kit to the 3.56 magazine...

    Fighting boredom in all day sits.

    Save your energy for when it makes sense to hunt all day. Early and late seasons are a no go for me. Peak rut only. I set up full day sits like most use marathon running or meditation some other mentally tough endevour. I know its not easy, embrace the bordom. Coffee. Or adderall. Break the...

    First Hunt Aoudad

    Aoudad hunting in that country is one of my favorites! Fitness: Be able to climb and descend 500-1000 foot hills multiple times a day, maybe all day. The outfitter should be able to guide you more on expected fitness. Gear: A good pair of binos and a tripod will be your best friend Good pair...

    DiY New Zealand Chamois and Tahr

    I had no issues with my XLR. I got a picture from the outfitter i hunted with in NZ- he liked my chassis so much, both he and one of his guides purchased the same XLR as me.

    When do YOU deem a barrel to be shot out?

    @Hydra6 This is consistent with what i have observed. I havent burned out nearly the barrels you PRS guys do, but I shoot my hunting rifles a bit. Ive noticed the "light switch" from good to bad happen in like 50-100 rounds consistently.

    When do YOU deem a barrel to be shot out?

    How fast (how many rounds) do you notice a barrel goes from fine to not fine- going from humming along to decreased velocities and accuracy?

    When do YOU deem a barrel to be shot out?

    Great question and one I don’t have an answer to. It seems to me that when a barrel goes south, it seems to drop velocity in a short time frame. I’ve never shot them past this period, would be interested to know.

    Has Kyrgyzstan been closed?

    I was there in 2017. I felt very safe.
