    Garmin 701 over Kestrel 5700

    Appreciate your post I too been giving though to trying the Garmin a try for the larger screen and being to wear on the wrist. The Garmin looks like a great hunting companion when needing quick data.

    Savage MSR competition models!?!

    What I don't get is the decision to mount a collapsible stock on these rifles

    Newbie looking for the right scope

    Congratulations on your JP purchase. You will enjoy that rifle. It's my opinion a rifle of that quality deserves scope of high quality. I'd be looking at something from S&B or a NF ATACR of your perfered power range if it were me. As to your question about a Horus reticle, I personally...

    Rifle Scopes Torn Between What Scope to Choose

    I don't see how you could go wrong with the H59 as I'm about to pull trigger on the Mark 5 in a TReMoR3 I know people who won't have a scope without illumination but i have never used or needed it. Battery in my S&B been dead for 8 years. From a game animal hunting situation, I don't use...

    Rifle Scopes Torn Between What Scope to Choose

    Out of the two scopes you mentioned only the USO would i trust as being repeatable and dependable. The Mark 5 may turn out to be a repeatable, dependable scope but we just don't know yet. While the Mark 5 3.5-18x44 has caught my interest for a gas gun and mid range hunting scope, it is only...

    Rifle Scopes So, what about Leupold Mark 5 ?

    I been working with the TreMoR3 on some coyote hunts and the reticle is really working for me. I really like the fact that all i need is range/elevation and if i got a handle on the wind, use the wind dots for hold. The system is so much faster than ranging, getting elevation call, dialing...

    Rifle Scopes What happened to the BEAST

    I'd like to pick one up in a TReMoR3 used if came accross one at a good discount, which i know makes no sense but have always thought the scope kinda unique. In fact my one friend that still uses a BEAST has the TReMorR3 reticle.

    new rifle help please

    Agree with above on shooting good ammo. 10 solid rounds that make sense on the target is a lot better than shooting 20 and not understanding impacts.

    new rifle help please

    The 260 mentioned by RedRyder would be a excellent choice but with near identical ballistics to 800 yards and the abundance of very good factory ammunition, I'd opt for the 6.5 creedmoor in the Tikka. All the scopes you mentioned would be nice choices.

    Rifle Scopes Another scope selection

    In my opinion I would spend the most you feel comfortable with on a quality scope. I would not compromise on quality glass and repeatable turrents. I think by spending the extra 1k now, you be money ahead later. I don't know about the Steiner but other 3 choices look good. I would add NF...

    Rifle Scopes Tremor3 a waste?

    Rifle Scopes So, what about Leupold Mark 5 ?

    Thanks to all who have posted reviews I own 7 NF scopes and 1 S&B. There not been a scope from another manufacturer that has caught my attention like the Leupold Mark 5 3.6-18x44 has. A very nice power range for a gas gun or hunting rifle and a TReMor3 reticle for $2100, I'm very tempted.

    Rifle Scopes Tremor3 a waste?

    I agree with Horns8491. I'm getting away from capturing the wind and target with the Kestrel and just taking wind readings, determining where wind is coming from and using the dots.

    Rifle Scopes Tremor3 a waste?

    I kinda been on the fence with my TReMoR3 up until recently. I was limiting my use us the system to 3 mills and dialing elevation and holding wind past 3 mils. Lately I been working on holding smaller targets and longer distances and using the wind dot's. I would say my hit percentage is ever...

    Rifle Scopes New scope for the AR-10...Nightforce ??

    I always say buy the best scope you can afford and the ATACR is the better scope. Weight should not be a consideration in my opinion. Its not like you will mount scope on the end of the barrel. And if you cant handle some extra ounces, carry a five round mag rather than that fully loaded 20...

    Proof vs. Bartlein/Krieger

    I always ran Bartlien barrels on all my rifle's. No more. Both my main hunting rifles, 6 creedmoor and 6.5x284 Norma are Proof carbon barrels in Manners EH1 stocks. As mentioned above, groups are unreal and I am not noticing any coldbore deviation worth mentioning,
