    Vortex Diamondback 20-60x60 Spotting Scope - Any feedback

    No experience with the vortex, but I did A LOT of research on mid range priced spotters and just ordered a Celestron Regal M2 65mm with ED glass. The bird watching crowd gave its predecessor great reviews, and the updated version (M2) has some improvements over the first gen. From my research...

    Hunting & Fishing FISH BRAGS! Bring 'em! (Pics for Proof Required)

    This was last summer while pre-fishing for a night tournament. Both were caught on swimbaits in a California foothill lake with stocker trout. They were both released unharmed, I only put the first one in the livewell because I had a feeling I would catch a second and wanted a group picture.

    Range Report 1014 yards with a 260

    This load is right around 2830 FPS from my 23" barrel. It took 8.1 mils to get on target. My first (cold/clean bore) shot was perfectly centered, just a bit low with 7.9 mils. My last group at 996 yards measured 4", but it was shot from prone on the ground. I meant to include the shooting...

    Range Report 1014 yards with a 260

    Short video of my 260 getting it done at 1014 yards today. Missed my cold bore and had to come up .2 mils, then it was these four consecutive hits. Measured 6 inches, mostly all vertical. All shots were taken using the cab of a pickup as a rest to get over the vegetation. Sorry for mediocre...

    Rifle Scopes Another "which scope thread" for LEO

    ^^^ this is sound advise. I don't disagree with what you are saying, just somewhat different perspectives. In the end the goals are the same, but the devil is in the details.

    Rifle Scopes Another "which scope thread" for LEO

    I hear ya.... But consider this, if you have the scope on low mag you probably aren't taking a precision shot. It wouldn't be all that hard to center the target using the bold stadia posts. I'll try to get a pic of the scope on 3 power, then you can decide.

    Shout out to a vortex rep: 11-33X50 Razor HD spotter

    Any chance you guys will eventually come out with a retice eye piece for these? I'm on the hunt for a good spotter to work double duty as a tactical (ranging/calling corrections/observation in LE enviroment) and hunting spotter. Must be light and compact for packing around in the Sierra Nevadas...

    Rifle Scopes The truth about Leupold thread

    I had a mark 4 LRT 4.5-14X40 on my work gun for 4+ years, went through sniper school with it, rode in a car in a soft case for that time, no issues at all. Sold that to fund a NF 3.5-15X50, when I got it I was so dissapointed that I sent it back to NF to evaluate the poor glass and lack of...

    Rifle Scopes Another "which scope thread" for LEO

    Again, your requirements minus illumination fit the bill perfectly for the 3-18X44 Mark 6. The TMR is a great reticle, has the PERFECT magnification range, it's lightwieght, tuff as nails, tracks true (at least my sample), has capped windage knob, zero stop, locking turret, etc, etc..... Great...

    Rifle Scopes Another "which scope thread" for LEO

    Coming from 10+ years of LEO experience, 5 years of that as a shooter on our regional SWAT team, avid long range shooter/hunter on my own time........ My vote would be for the Mark 6 Leupold. I currently run that scope on my personal .260 and love it. I have shot at a steel plate painted white...

    Rifle Scopes Anyone tried the Leupold Mark 6 3-18x44

    I bought one with the TMR reticle early this year, I love it!!! My only complaint is that they put a small tang on the magnification ring which can limit where it is mounted on a picatinny base with low rings. Glass is clear and my sample passed a comprehensive tracking test. The reticle seems...
