    Ruger RPR vs Hawkeye Long Range Target (6.5PRC)

    *SIGH* It’s the only one IN MY HOUSE, RIGHT NOW. I felt compelled to mention that, since you kept accusing me of being emotionally attached to “my Rugers”. I have extensive experience with these rifles, and I’ve pointed that out many times. Jesus Christ, try to have a reasonable debate and...

    Reading comprehension isn’t your strong suit, is it? Good job missing and/or misunderstanding every. single. point.

    Rifle Scopes Swarovski Z3. Anything better for the price?

    I’ll second the Z3 3-10x42/BRH. Great scope. Best in class for set & forget, rugged, no-frills scopes. My local Sportsman’s Warehouse has has the Vortex Razor HD LH 2-10x40 on closeout for $399.99– maybe a Hide vendor has a similar deal? Probably on par with the Z3 glass-wise for way less...

    Ruger RPR vs Hawkeye Long Range Target (6.5PRC)

    “My Rugers” lol. The only Hawkeye in my house is owned by my 16 year old son. It’s a great gun, like every other one I’ve been around. Rebarreling one isn’t much different from doing the same to a Kimber or M70 or CZ. Any good smith that can handle one of those can handle a Ruger. Is it a Rem...

    Ruger RPR vs Hawkeye Long Range Target (6.5PRC)

    Call it anecdotal, and I’m only speaking about Hawkeyes, NOT the M77s that you keep mentioning and the OP didn’t ask about; but I have never seen a Hawkeye that didn’t shoot. Subpar trigger, sometimes, less-smooth action, sure. I’ve never encountered one that had feeding problems of any sort...

    Ruger RPR vs Hawkeye Long Range Target (6.5PRC)

    To the OP, try to get your hands on both rifles before you buy. If the LRT’s action feel turns you off, and you don’t like the chassis feel of the RPR, look into the Howa Bravo or the Bergara HMR.

    Ruger RPR vs Hawkeye Long Range Target (6.5PRC)

    Dude: that was 30 years ago, Bill Ruger is long dead, the present company has the EXACT OPPOSITE philosophy, and anyway it’s 100% irrelevant to the discussion. You don’t like them, fine. Most people who own them, love them. Sure the old ones had issues. The current Hawkeye line is uniformly...

    I know this is difficult... please show us on the doll where the bad Ruger touched you.

    Ruger RPR vs Hawkeye Long Range Target (6.5PRC)

    This is blatantly wrong. You can criticize the M77– or the Hawkeye, as the latest version has been called for many years—- for any number of things, but to make an assertion like that is ridiculous.

    Hunting & Fishing Son getting stationed in Alaska, what rifle?

    Lifelong Alaskan here. He’ll definitely want something stainless/synthetic- it rains all the time, forecast be damned. Most of the guys I hunt with use a 338 Win Mag or similar chambering. There are lots of bears in AK, and you might meet one even if you’re not looking for one. It takes lots...

    Rifle Scopes Lightweight option under $1100

    I have two Z3s, a 3-9x36 plex and a 3-10x42 BRH. They’re great scopes, super light, rugged and fantastic glass. I’ve banged them around AK for years— up and down mountains, through nasty alders and devil’s club, even dropped one from a tree stand. Not to mention hundreds of rounds of heavy...

    Rifle Scopes Best ~$2k scope? NX8 4-32 vs. Razor Gen 2 vs. 50% Minox ZP5

    Appreciate the input HK Dave. Your write up on high end scopes a while back was one reason I started looking closer at the Minox. I’m almost definitely headed that direction. How do you like the turrets on the ZP5 compared to the Razor? I’ve used the Razor some, never owned one but always liked...

    Rifle Scopes Best ~$2k scope? NX8 4-32 vs. Razor Gen 2 vs. 50% Minox ZP5

    @Tac Beard I can take this into a new thread but figured we were kind of looking for the same thing. Just let me know. No worries man, I’m pretty well set on getting the ZP5 and I’m interested to hear others’ thoughts on the ones you listed.

    Rifle Scopes Best ~$2k scope? NX8 4-32 vs. Razor Gen 2 vs. 50% Minox ZP5

    Thanks everyone for the helpful answers. I guess my one and only reservation with the ZP5 is not knowing much about their warranty/customer service. I know NF and Vortex are great in that respect. Can I expect to get similar treatment from Minox if I have an issue?

    Rifle Scopes Best ~$2k scope? NX8 4-32 vs. Razor Gen 2 vs. 50% Minox ZP5

    Looking to upgrade from an NXS 5.5-22x56 to a newer FFP design. The budget is $2k-ish and not much more. I’ve done a lot of research, I know this is a kind of strange matchup, but I have it narrowed down to these three: NX8 4-32 Mil-XT Razor Gen 2 4.5-27 EBR-7C and for a wild card... Minox ZP5...
