    Rifle Scopes SFP Question

    I will do my best to explain my question. Not sure if a short answer is possible. 1. I have 5 FFP optics & they are my preference (all mil). 2. I have one SFP optic that I can not part with a Swarovski Z6 2.5 x 15 x 44. Her primary mission, gathering light for hunting application...

    Night Vision Wrecked my Ranger, 2x SkeetIRx, and UTC-Xii tonight!

    This is another part of the Hide that does not often receive much recognition. When one of the members shares a close call that very easily could have gone bad. We forget our indifference's. I think that's called camaraderie.

    Night Vision Wrecked my Ranger, 2x SkeetIRx, and UTC-Xii tonight!

    Glad you made it out in one piece. Very lucky dude, very lucky. No cell phone or no reception can turn a normal evening in the swamp into deep Kim-chi. Hunting alone at night several miles off the grid is extremely rewarding. Murphy is always willing to test us. Travel safe.

    Night Vision Luna elir3 visible to coyotes?

    The ELIR - 3 was recommended to me a few years ago by a couple of Hide members KSE & WIG. I put those 2, into the (know their craft) category. I have had much success illuminating hogs and they do not seem to flinch when I turn on the Prison Yard spot light. However when it comes to the coyotes...

    Rifle Scopes What do you do for scope zero?

    Funny you should mention that question. I do not or have ever shot a match, yet the 143 gr ELD-X is what I use to hunt & shoot at the range. Results for both applications have been favorable. But recently I zeroed one of my bolt action 6.5cm's with a second focal plan optic with the 140 gr...

    Zero question for AR15

    The way I came to a better comprehend my ballistics was. Trial & error + or - 2 years. Record data, always record data. Load, bi-pod / tri-pod / off hand / bench. Caffeine consumption. Then I came back to the load again. Find your favorable load and stick with it, "so important". 90% of my...

    Zero question for AR15

    If you ever get the chance to hunt medium to large size hogs with a 223. Taking an ethical shot at or over 100m is precision shooting 101. Practice practice practice. Enjoy the process.

    Zero question for AR15

    Enjoy the process. Then stick with it. Slow is smooth & smooth is fast. 100m zero = aim one inch high @ 25m. Hornady Black 75gr BTHP 223 Rem is a great round.

    Night Vision ELIR-3 or SPIR for long range illum?

    The Luna works just fine. Small & light weight. I have yet to test it past 300. Hogs hate it.

    Night Vision White hot or Black hot?

    Good question, I have bounced back and forth and found black hot to be a better contrast in cooler temps with a white reticle. During the summer heat I go with white hot & a black reticle. I have yet to find any use for the psychedelic color palette selections. Scan with thermal Shoot with NV...

    Pair of Kurtz Mausers

    Those rifles are beautiful they look like they belong on the 1966 -1969 TV series DAKTARI. Or Wild Kingdom: As Jim grabs the rifle the big cat makes his move. Marlin Perkins watches from a safe distance.
