2 late season doe tonight. Shots were 150 ish. 20” AR. 77 tmk. Doe all spooked so I didn’t have much time to shoot. Both bang flops. I lost both front shoulders but didn’t have to track them! I’m done shooting behind the shoulder. I much prefer bang flops ! Sorry no pics. Lungs were mush. I love shooting the suppressor, after the first doe dropped the deer didn’t know which way the shot came from so they kinda ran in circles which allowed me to shoot another. A great way to end the season. Thanks [mention]Formidilosus [/mention]for the shooting location tips

I’m in the market for a SWFA fixed 6X if anyone has one to sell. My mid/low tier sig isn’t cutting it

Who has used the SWFA 10x without issues for hunting ? I want the 6X but they appear to be very difficult to find. The 10x is in stock and also in the classifieds. My shots are routinely 200 plus on deer

I used one on my 22 cm this year. Didn’t have any issues. I did notice the closer shots I had to adjust focus but it wasn’t a big deal. I wouldn’t hesitate picking up another 10X. Killed deer at 135, 206 and 625 yards. I didn’t need to refocus for any of those but shot a few varmits as close as 30 yards and that’s when refocus was needed.

I kept forgetting to post this but was reminded when I saw the link to the black hills above. Pretty decent price I think, would buy some but have a couple other things taking priority at the moment.

Also shot a couple 10 rounds groups today, 77 handload on top and black hills 77 tmk on bottom. Shot from a suppressed 16.5” t3x. Haven’t chrono’d the black hills but handloads are going about 2720. I do wish the price per round was closer then I’d just shoot the black hills and be done with it.

I would have to agree, esp. in my area where most shots are close but sometimes I shoot at a distance.
Has to be a variable for me, sinful as that might be!
 
I promised my wife that I will not buy another firearm last year and I kept my promise like a champ.
It's 2024 now and to my luck, Bass Pro has a promo on the TX3 Lite D-18. Additionally, Beretta is running a rebate on the T3X so as of 10 min ago, I can finally say that I'm joining the rockslide special team. Can't wait to pick it up.
 
I have 2 of the 10X SS MQ. I tried a 6X but the reticle looked too fine and traded it for another 10X. The 10X reticle looks much larger to me than the 6X and I can see it a lot better.

Killed an 8pt. buck and a doe this year with different rifles both wearing the 10X but shots were at 220 yds. and 300 yds.

I hope I’m wrong but didn’t that rebate expire yesterday?
 
Simple thought to me.
I run a 2.5 - 10X scope. If I had to go with one setting and never touch it again, it would not be 10X but would likely be around the 6X zone. Typical deer range for me 50-275…
I’m no master of knowledge, so take it for what it’s worth…
