Are the 3.6-18 good to go these days? No QC issues as of late, buy with confidence? Or not so much? This is like the only optic out there that fits the hunting rifle role well, mostly because of weight. I'm seeing a lot of them on hunting builds lately.
So should I go 18 or 20? 18 would keep it under 25 with suppressor. But 20 probably wouldn't be unmanageable. I hunt treestands, ridges and fields, and sometimes drag it through bear territory.
So I find myself wanting a shorty for hunting. I have a 26" 6.5cm, sendero contour, but I rarely shoot it due to limited access to longer ranges. Should I chop it or build another rifle in 16.5" 308? Will be run suppressed 100%.
I have a 2-10 hd lh and optically its the best I own. That thing is brighter than my cronus and other comparable scopes including the gen ii razor. Its on a light weight rifle that doesn't get shot over 300 yards. I like the g4 reticle, its very fast. Very light. Considering a 3-15 for another...
I have gone to First Lite. Switching from under armor to merino wool keeps me warmer, especially when wet. In fact the only thing that gets cold on me anymore is my feet, but that will soon be remedied with warmer boots. Also I like First Lite's Fusion pattern.
