    Surgeon 591 WSM

    Re: Surgeon 591 WSM Daggum, hoping for the best from Dana. Mike at Surgeon said a large batch is going to Brownells, Bugholes and Third Gen but no WSMs in those shipments and probably nothing in the very near future.

    I am in pretty bad need of one or better two and have called all the primary dealers to no avail including Surgeon themselves who directed me back to primaries. Anybody have a line on one or two?

    how short can i go?

    Re: how short can i go? 2 inches isn't going to make it much more handy in the Tx brush nor much lighter. As a hunter who hates to loose chances on long sought game I would keep the 2 inches for when you have gained the confidence to poke around 600 yds. If you hate 18 then you can always...

    Rifle Scopes March Vs Premier LT -- Real World Opines

    Re: March Vs Premier LT -- Real World Opines Point taken, however there is still the weight and price issue. Best I can make it out, I would be looking at near the same weight of the NXS and 1000 more for the SNB than either the March or Premier.

    Rifle Scopes Lightest weight, Best quality optics

    Re: Lightest weight, Best quality optics I should have included this is on a fur pokin rig, not competition and a shot for me beyond 800 is doubtfull unless on steel, so no need for huge elevation travel. That said weight savings, durability, consistency, light gathering, light transmission...

    Rifle Scopes Lightest weight, Best quality optics

Let me know if there is something out there I am missing, I have looked at Kahles, Steiner, SnB, Vortex and currently have been...
