    Rifle Scopes Hunting Optic - Low Light

    What's that weigh? I've read some guys love them and some weren't impressed. I've been temped on one several times, but the reticle just seems weird on paper. I think I need to get behind that reticle in real life. I like what they did with that scope on paper for sure.

    Electronic Ear Plugs

    I ordered a set on Midway today. 70 bucks off. 130 I think it was, but backordered. I wear MSA Sordins for most things, but looking for something while hunting. I have bad hearing loss, and can't hear most animal sounds so don't like to wear ear plugs. This should allow me to hear some...

    Rifle Scopes Hunting Optic - Low Light

    I would use your LEO perks on a Meopta (they have a 3-10 ish model with amazing HD glass) or the Zeiss HD5 for the purpose you described. I firmly believe my HD5 5-25 glass was better then my ATACR. I sold the Zeiss due to needing a more turret focused scope, but pure glass wise, I would pick...

    Tempest Builds..Lets See em

    Thanks. It's actually the molded in color pattern on that particular KMW Sentinel. It's available on McMillian stocks molded in as well as they essentially make the KMW blanks, and Terry finishes them. Makes them pretty tough to mess up your camo finish. Definitely better lasting than kote...

    Tempest Builds..Lets See em

    Good point. Mine was originally cerakoted. While it was OK, I didn't really want it that way (bought it new but from someone else who was just picking up the build and no longer wanted it). I put some bore paste on the bolt and worked it quite a bit, and have shot a fair amount since. There is...

    Tempest Builds..Lets See em

    I played with one at the JC Steel challenge along side my Tempest. I really liked the Curtis. It has just as easy of a throw as my Tempest with a .020 trigger hanger. It was rougher cycling, but faster if that makes sense. It looks like it may have a tad looser tolerances once the bolt is...

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Scopes

    The only thing IMHO the Gen 2 has on the Cronus is turrets. I'll take the glass, reticle, and illumination of the Cronus. I've since sold my Cronus and upgraded to the PMII when the prices dropped so low, but if I was in that 1500-2000 price range, the Cronus is flat out amazing. Have no time...

    Tempest Builds..Lets See em

    I really like it. I prefer a Harris bipod, and like the little cutout so it sits a bit higher up to the barrel. I wish I could add some kind of barricade stop or rail to it, and that's my only complaint. Others who have gotten behind it either love it or can't get used to the grip. It does...

    Precision Rifles.....show em!!

    Most of the details are in my signature. It's my main competition rifle. 6.5 CM built on a GAP Tempest action and currently in a KMW Sentinel stock. I have a Manners PRS1 being built in their new Platinum layup with the MPA Barricade rail/chassis and then will try it out in both, and sell the...

    Awesome, I appreciate it. I'll try that after the JC Steel challenge next weekend.

    Tempest Builds..Lets See em

    Anyone know what trigger hanger is needed for a Trigger Tech? Been running my Jewell, but will be moving to a Trigger Tech. This is my Tempest from Rock Lake last weekend. Specs are in my Signature.

    Good info. Thanks for the response.

    How was it compared to a SIII? That's one of my biggest questions. SIII glass and tracking are very good for the money. I figured the Ares would be very close, but with some added bells and whistles?

    Rifle Scopes Lighter Scope Option

    Used Premier Light Tactical 3-15x50. My non-illuminated model is 24oz. That's what I'm currently running. I may eventually go to the NF ATACR 4-16x50 so I can have a SFP scope with more travel. I like them a bit better for hunting. I ran the Premier though for the SHC last year, and did...

    Rifle Scopes Lightweight Scope (~25oz) With Repeatable Turrets

    Thanks for all the input fellas. Razor AMG is lighter than I thought, so could be a definite possibility. I need to sell and replace my Veracity 5-25 on my prairie dog gun (don't like the reticle or glass), so will probably sell and replace with the SIII, and can use that as a higher mag stop...

    Rifle Scopes Lightweight Scope (~25oz) With Repeatable Turrets

    I am finishing up a lighter weight build in 6.5 SAUM 4S. I'm looking for a scope to put on top that will keep it at the 8.5 lb mark loaded which leaves about 25oz for a scope. I currently have a Premier Light Tactical 3-15x50 that weighs 24oz, but am wanting a tad more mag. I'll have a spotter...

    Lightweight hunting setup

    I did the same thing, but got a hair less length. 3.42 in my notes. I was so far away I never got anything special with bergers. It shot a ragged hole with Nosler Partitions though. When I got bit by the long range bug however, and higher BC bullets caught my eye, I could never get it to...
