    Short Barrel Ranch Rifle Cartridge Choice

    I wouldn't put a VX3 Leupold on a gun that's going to get constantly banged around.

    Does Anyone Have an Old Barrel with a Carbon Ring?

    The fastest way to make a nightmarish carbon ring is in one of Ryan Pierce's long throated 28 Noslers with 87.5gr R33 and 195 EOLs.

    OP read this thread. https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/cleaning-for-carbon.7261284/ You're making it things too complicated. While a bronze brush can be very helpful for removing a carbon ring from the throat, you shouldn't need a bronze brush to clean the bore.

    Does anyone have the 8X SMR? I'm not even sure it landed yet. I think the 10x came first and then the 12x. Edit: I see Eurooptic has the 8x in stock.

    X - Vectronix Shooting Solutions

    My 12x SMR arrived last week. I'm still testing, but my first impression is that the glass is good, ranging through rolling hills is very good, ergos are sus (both handling and optical), ER is lacking for use with glasses, IPD is fussy and lacks graduation or lock, tripod mount location further...

    New RF bino from Vectronix!!! Vector X

    I want to use the LRF to range the chucks, but if the ranging reticle is too large it will obscure (completely cover) the target. This is why an open center reticle would have been an advantage. As range increases, target decreases in size. Depending on the thickness of the crosshairs' lines, at...

    New RF bino from Vectronix!!! Vector X

    I was hoping you might be able to answer a couple reticle related questions for me. How thick are the reticle lines? How much of the target will the reticle obscure? I'm concerned with ranging small targets (woodchucks) at extreme ranges. The reticle documentation on your site does not...
