Awesome guys, thanks for the help! That was the info I was looking for. Thanks Michael and Pat. Pat, ya, I sat in an office all day while you were out shooting... awesome... huh Nick

Sounds good, thanks. That makes since.

I think I misunderstood the measurement... 2.945 is COAL right George? I was wanting to know ogive to base. I am using the Hornaday tool with #5-26 insert to attach to my caliper so I can measure ogive to base. Isn't that more accurate than tip to base? just based of the tips having slight...

Thanks guys!

What a ton of info! thanks guys. I have the pleasure of owning serial #9 of the GAP 6.5 SAUM, I think I am going to shoot the 140gr VLD. The main reason is they seem to be readily available here in my area. I have read most of this thread and haven't seen, or I missed, what depth you are...

Re: Plantar Fasciitis The combination of night time splints, and good CUSTOM foot orthotics can do the trick. Keep your feet dorsiflexed while you sleep in the splints at night to keep the tendon on stretch while it heals. and than have appropriate orthotics in your shoes. good luck

Ok, so i asked a few months ago what was better? Leica Geovids(I have an old pair for sale) or the Zeiss Victory RFB? Overwhelming response were the Zeiss. Now, What do you guys think is better the Zeiss Victory RFB or Swarovski EL RFB? Anyone used both? and which one ranges better? I would...

Re: Range finding Binos? Ok, this is an older post I put up to see what you all thought about the "best" rang finding binos. Thanks for the input! Now how about the Swarovski EL range finding binoculars? How do they compare to the Zeiss RFB? Thanks for the info. Nick

Re: HDMR TEST Pat, Thanks for the info and review! Might be the right scope for Nate's project... N-

Re: Range finding Binos? Ya, my buddy has a pair of those Bushnell's... Very impressive ranging. I just cant stand to look through that glass, it is too coated or off in color. I really like my leica glass and want to stay at that quality or better. impressive though for the money!

Re: WY Mule Deer!! Ya, thanks Pat, it was a ton of work but worth the work!! Nate is going to build a rifle now.. another one corrupted!! He wants a light weight build out of his 270. Should be similar to Chip's. Thanks guys for the complements!

Re: Range finding Binos? what is the price on those Steiner's?

Re: WY Mule Deer!! Thanks Guys! We didnt see them, but the guys camping a ridge over had several elk in range but they were deer hunting with no elk tag! They got some great pics. Good luck!

Re: Range finding Binos? Mikee, Thanks for the info!! No way I can get 1200+ with mine on the best day and conditions. 1200-1300 would be great. Not just for shooting but judging terain and seeing what time of distance I would have to cover to get into range. My effective range is about...

Re: Range finding Binos? Ya, What I need is that Vector it is awesome!! That is a stiff price tag that I can not swing... 7-800 would be great consistantly!! I did notice when I looked through the Zeiss in the store they were hard to see the read out. 2-300 meters is not acceptable. I...
