    Hunting & Fishing Barnes TSX vs. Hornady GMX

    Re: Barnes TSX vs. Hornady GMX fwiw- I just picked up a lightly used R700 30-06 and some factory ammo for a trip I'm taking to Canada, where I did not want to take my regular rifles or handloads. This afternoon, I tested 5 different factory loads in it. Federal 165 Partitions, which...

    Rifle Scopes Zeiss Victory Rangefinding Binos - Field Review

    Re: Zeiss Victory Rangefinding Binos - Field Revie Did you try the Zeiss binos or the monocular? I wonder if there is a difference between the two? The vendor said send them back, so I did today. It was hard to let go of the binos, but with deer hunting starting in less than two weeks...

    Rifle Scopes Zeiss Victory Rangefinding Binos - Field Review

    Re: Zeiss Victory Rangefinding Binos - Field Revie Alright, tried changing batteries, which helped, but the Swarovski still put a hard beating on the Zeiss. Tried less challenging targets today, buildings and street signs. A brown, three story building at 546 yards was too difficult for...

    Rifle Scopes Zeiss Victory Rangefinding Binos - Field Review

    Re: Zeiss Victory Rangefinding Binos - Field Revie Well, I used the battery supplied in the box with it. After reading this I'll go buy another battery and see(and hope) if that fixes it. The glass is so phenomenal I really want them to work, so I can stop carrying binos and the separate...

    Rifle Scopes Zeiss Victory Rangefinding Binos - Field Review

    Re: Zeiss Victory Rangefinding Binos - Field Revie The combination of bright light with humid conditions seems to be the most challenging for the rangefinders in my experience here in Texas, which is why I try them out in these conditions. Also, this is a common condition in the early part...

    Rifle Scopes Zeiss Victory Rangefinding Binos - Field Review

    Had a chance to test some Zeiss Victory LRF 8x56 binos. The "bird" in my handle comes from my involvement in bird conservation, doing field surveys, leading groups, and just going birding, so I have the chance to see lots of binoculars. In short, the glass is stunning, the best I have ever...

    Cold Weather - Mag Primers Needed?

    Would appreciate some input from those who live in the cold weather areas. I am heading to Saskatchewan in mid-November for deer hunting. Should I use mag primers instead of large rifle for 308 and 7WSM? I use Varget in the 308 and MagPro in the 7WSM. Temps likely will be be below...

    Hunting & Fishing GPS with the best signal reception

    Re: GPS with the best signal reception Look for a model which has a "high sensitivity" receiver. The manufacturer's websites identify the models. They cost more, but are worth it in forests, fog and heavy weather. They are not foolproof, but they are a substantial improvement over the base...

    Hunting & Fishing Hogs are made of steel!

    Re: Hogs are made of steel! 308 175 SMK at 2630 works well for me. Here are some examples of placement with the 175 SMK that produce DRT and no suffering for the animal. First is to the head at the base of the ear works well and is the best choice. Second is if they are laying down. Aim in...
