    Vortex Viper 2.5-10x44 vs Nightforce SHV 3-10x42

    Thank you for confirming what I was thinking. I will probably put the viper on my muzzle loader and look for an SHV for my rifle.

    Vortex Viper 2.5-10x44 vs Nightforce SHV 3-10x42

    I hunt for Hogs and Deer with most shots ranging from 15-200 yards, but would like to be able to dial to 500 if the occasion arises. Right now I have a Vortex Viper HS 2.5-10x44 with the BDC reticle. I really like this scope because it is compact and does really well in low light. But, I don’t...

    Tikka T3x Hunter Accuracy

    I have been experimenting with the torque settings with no results. I will recheck the free float on the barrel and have my brother shoot it. Thank you for the reply!

    Tikka T3x Hunter Accuracy

    I have a Tikka T3x Hunter chambered in .243 that I bought new last year. I have tried about 10 different factory loadings and have put a total of around 300 rounds through it. My issue is that I have never been able to get a 5 shot group under 1.5 MOA. I would say the gun averages around 2 to...
