    Rifle Scopes Better Eye Box/Relief Near Top of Magnification Range

    ..... which is why I listed the scopes I'm considering and was looking for input from folks who have some time behind them. I apologize if I wasn't clear in my original post. Thank you for the responses.

    Rifle Scopes Better Eye Box/Relief Near Top of Magnification Range

    Yea, I have other rigs for when I hunt swamps specifically for hogs. 3x-5x on the low end is preferred, but I wouldn't want to go above 7x like on the NF. The times I would be engaging hogs and deer this close would be a rare exception, not the norm. My main focus is the higher mag range.

    Rifle Scopes Better Eye Box/Relief Near Top of Magnification Range

    I would love one of those, but it doesn't really fit what I want at this moment.... especially the budget requirement.

    Rifle Scopes Better Eye Box/Relief Near Top of Magnification Range

    Magnification used for hunting will be on the lower end of the magnification range. Deer, hogs...etc from danger close on out. Hogs in GA swamps at 40 yards while moving is tough to get quick shots on higher magnification which is why the 7x on the NF is probably more than I want. The...

    What is the deal with GPO scopes?

    Started by Mike Jensen, formerly of Zeiss. I have a 3-9 illuminated. Reminds me of the Zeiss Conquest and Meopta Meopro line of scopes, but feels more rugged. Tracks dead on. Really wanted to grab their Spectra 6 2-12 that Doug was blowing out at Cameraland, but funds went to another...

    Rifle Scopes Better Eye Box/Relief Near Top of Magnification Range

    Looking to purchase a new (or used) scope, but it's impossible to find a single place where i can compare some side by side. So I've come to the Hide for opinions from those who have time behind the following scopes.... After considering glass, turrets, illumination, reticles...etc, the next...

    Killer deal on Eotech Vudu scopes at Euro Optic

    I picked up the 3.5-18x50 H59 and am very happy with it. I was looking for a crossover scope for my 20" 308. Priorities were in order: durable, repeatable adjustments, generous eye box and eye relief from 12x-max power, forgiving parallax, illumination, and decent glass. Choice was between...

    One in a Million..ejected case hits open ammo box sets off round

    No way that brass was hot enough to set off the primer. I've had rounds bake in the sun that were so hot you could barely handle them. That spent pistol brass is NOT that hot. Now, I have seen someone covering the ejection port while trying to eject a round from the chamber where the...

    Finally got my Zues QC put together in 6.5 CM. Took 20 rounds of Hornady 140 gr Eld-m and 20 rounds of Federal 140 BTHP to the range to break it and me in. Probably not smart to adjust and feel out a new chassis at the same time as a new barrel, action, bipod, trigger...etc, but oh well. I...

    Steiner T6xi

    I have a Steiner M5xi 5-25x56 with the MSR. The center is a solid +. The MSR2 has the open center with a floating dot. And yes, there is confusion out there. I purchased this scope after being told it was the MSR2 reticle only to receive it and find it has the MSR. ALWAYS get pics of...

    Hunting & Fishing Official Hog Hunting Thread

    Always heard of those monster 400+ lb hogs, but never have seen one. Sitting on stand last night, heard something running before seeing it. Got the rifle up and saw a huge blob of black moving between trees. Thinking is was a bear, I put the rifle down and grabbed the binos. Focused on the...

    Timney Trigger Compatibility Question

    Waiting over a week to here back from Timney, figured the Hide could answer quicker.... I have a custom action with a side bolt release, Rem 700 footprint. I want to get a Timney 2-stage trigger, but don't need the bolt release tab attached to it. Do I leave it on and ignore it, or pop the...
