Rifle Scopes $2500 MSRP Limit (PRS Production Class)
Leupold isn't the liability it used to be from the mk4 and mk6 era. There are reasons for why someone might not like the mk5 over other brands, but they are flippable without much loss if you don't like it.- SRPowah

7mm-08 vs 308 hunting
You say you already have a 270, so whats wrong with that as your dedicated hunting rifle? That way your new rifle can be dedicated for long range precision work. This thread might go differently if you decide to go down that route. To answer your original question: Focusing on hunting, I would...- SRPowah

Rifle Scopes $2500 MSRP Limit (PRS Production Class)
You vouching for the people behind the company doesn't mean much if their end product is poodoo. We tend to rely more on reviews of the finished product. The concern raised was someone on their payroll linking to their own review without disclosing their new relationship. That is exactly an...- SRPowah

Front support: sand bags vs. rifle rests
For zeroing, I tend to use a bipod + rear bag because that is the vast majority of my shooting. Practice how you play. It might not be as important for modern bolt guns, but you can find yourself chasing your tail on some platforms like ARs if you zero with a bag but then try and perform with a...- SRPowah

Rifle Scopes Atacr gen 2
These companies are thinking long term though. The first ATACR was released almost a decade ago. Why release a new generation that is meant to last 8-10 years when it would be handicapped against the competitors that will be upping their FOV game next year? It would have to really knock things...- SRPowah

SAI 10 1-10
As excited as I am to try this, I have a feeling its going to go the way of the NX8 where its just not the right tool for me (tend to be 6x+ the vast majority of the time). I want to see this type of packaging development put into 2-12x or even 2.5-10x now that piggybacks address the 1x issue...- SRPowah

FUBAR times 6!
How does someone even get to the point of being setup to custom fab scope bases without understanding the cant? I would expect 0moa if they weren't sure, but they fuckin' committed in the wrong direction- SRPowah

Precision Rifle Gear Tell me Where I’m Wrong: AB Quantum App + Calypso out preforms Kestrel 5700 Elite
My Kestrel 5700 has been in my range bag for years now. Its done everything I need every time I pull it out, except for the two times I had to spend 10 seconds to swap batteries. Rain, mud, direct sun for hours at a time, keeps working. My phone? Ha! LOL even. While there are fancier tools out...- SRPowah

Trigger options..... bix n andy triggertech diamond or timney hit
So I see people mentioning the BNA tends to be better when set correctly, but requires the tuning.. Is this mostly necessary for the people trying to run at the lowest weights possible, or more for tuning a personal feel? I see OP went the smart way of "try them all personally" but I can't pull...- SRPowah

Rifle Scopes Atacr gen 2
I gave the 4-16 a try because I couldn't stand the tunneling on the early 5-25. I use 4-5x when calling coyotes sometime and looking down a $2.5k toilet paper tube just felt stupid. Did it prevent good shots? No. But it sure rubbed me wrong. I have owned at least one 4-16 at all times since...- SRPowah
