    Spotting scope question.

    give me a call. I can talk through both with you. long story short, with that much magnification, I prefer a larger objective, unless weight is a serious consideration.

    Rifle Scopes Top tier scope recommendation

    There is a point of diminishing returns, but you pay for the additional performance at the margins. In my experience people aren't spending that kind of money for ego, generally if you are going to that level of optics, there is a very specific reason for it and it wasn't met until the end user...

    Maggie’s Man's Best Friend Thread

    The old guy is Martin. He died back in October. He was a great dog. The little dachshund is Auggie. I didn't really want another dog, but the family did so we compromised and have another dog. He's alright, just not the goodest boy old Martin was.

    Customer Service of S&B vs Kahles vs Steiner

    out of the 3, I think i've had good luck with Swarovski/Kahles over the year, the crew in RI is top notch. with Burris/Steiner, I couldn't get an older 1.5-6x42 Steiner serviced, but otherwise, never had any issues. Been a while since I had to deal with Schmidt and Bender, not sure what it'll be...

    Rifle Scopes Tips to "Safely" Reset NightForce Zero Stop?

    I've never had issue holding while i engage the zero stop. depending on the scope. Guess you just have to rezero, I would for piece of mind anyway. on the older scopes, you used to be able to hold it with an allen wrench or screw driver while setting the zero stop. on the poi shift, probably...

    1-10 sfp lpvo options

    add decent eye relief to the mix, 35 whelen is a thumper. My mind immediately went to Swarovski, the old z6i series and the new z8i series (https://cstactical.com/swarovski-z8i-1-7-13-3x42-4a-if-68202/ this with the ballistic flex turret) but that is out of budget unless you go to a used. a lot...

    Spotters Advice Needed: Vortex Razor Gen 2 vs Leupold SX-4 Pro Guide HD 2

    I haven't gotten to play with the Leupold, but i am a fan of the Vortex. I like the helical focus and I find the glass to be good.
