looking at a 38 gr bullet hoping to get around 4200 FPS and then possibly will go for a 55-57gr bullet with higher BC for long range in the future. 24" hart with 1:9 twist and predator action. rifle will mainly be used for coyotes hopefully under 400 yards (which i hope to be basically without...
Left everyone hanging there. I went with a custom US. Optics 5-17x39 with gen 2 XR illuminated reticle and covered turrets. Everything I needed and nothing I didn't.
I had the chance last week to get up to see Orkan at his store front in South Dakota. I went there with the idea of looking at some high end scopes and possibly buying one. I discussed what I would like to do with the scope and got to get some hands on experience with a lot of the high end...
there are a lot of scopes out there that would suit your needs. It all depends what features you want. zero stop, locking turrets, parallax adjustment, SFP vs FFP. figure out a few of these things and that will narrow your choices significantly in the lightweight category.
i have the SLIK sprint mini II. it will not do standing so could look at the slik pro II as well. Just a cheaper option than a lot of stuff I have seen. it will depend how heavy the scope is as well.
neil jones bore guides are another option. i have an ivy rod and bought one for my dad too. They are not a bad deal with the option to specify what you need.
This rest mainly will be used for load development of hunting/tactical rifles. Thus no desire to spend a ton of money. Just want to save time at the range while developing loads.
I have been looking around a lot lately and figured I would just poll the audience to get some thoughts on front rests. I am not looking to spend the money to get a Farley. That said, I dont want to spend money and be sorry later. Was contemplating the shadetree top with a separate base (bald...
Just an aside. The 2-10 weaver has red and green illumination. It is FFP and the turrets lock. I had a Vortex in the 1-4x with exposed turrets. They turn easy while slinging on and off. Just a thought
This will be interesting. I am in the boat of saving for these or vectronix. I need them to range soft targets and the vectronix will definitely do this. I am curious how the Leica will perform in comparison. Look forward to the feedback from the trip.
It is going to be hard to stay under a $1000 when looking to upgrade glass. the Mark 4 from leupold is a step up as well but you have to pay for it. I agree with above that you should be looking into a mil/mil or moa/moa system for "holdovers." Do some research on the SFP vs FFP reticles and...
I would just keep looking around. I bought the lower mag option about a month ago. I got it off opticsplanet. they had a sale plus there is a manufacturer's rebate at this time as well believe.
RW Hart rests are in that range. check out their website for various models. It all depends on how many extras you need on it. for the money this rest is built to last forever.
Any thoughts on the new wheeler kit. And does anybody have a pic demonstrating this technique with the plumb bob? I see the logic behind this but wonder how/ where u are doing it
