Holy crap! I was expecting $600 minimum! $400 is more than some companies want just for a UL stick kit for a Crickett .22
The primary arms micro prisms. They have a 1x a 3x and a 5x. I took the batteries out of mine as I won’t use the illuminated reticle.
I had no idea they worked without the battery. Which parts of the reticle still show up? It looks like the center aiming mark is illuminated?
Imagine a large rifle scope with a center dot that can illuminate, but doesn’t have to. Same thing. It’s either standard black reticle, or turn on the power and it’s red. Nothing goes away except the color.
While some have had success with the 77gr tmk on elk, I have no experience with doing so. Based on my own experiences with a respectively much larger cartridge, I would not use or recommend a 5.56 for elk. I have used a 5.56 (60gr nos partition) on deer ribs, and based on that experience, I would not want to use anything smaller. Accuracy and distance willing, I would shoot one in the noggin/neck with the 50gr out of a 5.7. If you do use it on some deer ribs, I would love to see your results/necropsy and possibly change my mind.
Not to derail this thread or flog any further deceased equines..... but the TMK and Partition are so far different from each other, there's no way to compare the 2.
Oh I’ve heard, that is why I bought 4 boxes of them and will be carrying them in the rifle this coming Monday for spring bear, and this fall for blacktail. Elk are not the same as deer. Not bulletproof, but not the same. I spend too much time, money, and energy on elk to be “testing” cartridges on them. Plus, 243 minimum cartridge size.
Looks just like my shot last year at 347 except mine was downhill! Nearly the same shot placement. A mushroom made from a 210gr ABLR was stuck in the skin just in front of the offside shoulder. My elk rifle proved to bang flop deer. What caliber did you use and how far did he make it?
