    I believe I'm about to buy a custom 7mm-08

    If you already own a 308 and a 308 based 6,5 like Creedmore or 260 rem, then there is absolutely no logical reason to get the same cartridge with a 7mm bullet. 7mm08 is a magnificent caliber but it will not go longer or be more precise than what you already own. It will fall somewhere in between...

    Which cartridge for 7mm 180gr ScenarL (ELR)

    That's really interesting! I do not believe the 7mm rem mag has a rumor of being super accurate and that could scare me off to go with something with a better track record.

    Which cartridge for 7mm 180gr ScenarL (ELR)

    I have just taken a closer look at 7mm Practical and 7mm-300wm and they really look interesting. 300WM brass is widely available here also.

    Which cartridge for 7mm 180gr ScenarL (ELR)

    I'm absolutely set on 7mm. There is not enough energy left in 6,5mm at those extreme distances and .30 is a bit borring in my head. But the bullet could also be the Hornady ELD 180gr with extreme high BC! Just now i realize it is significantly better than 180 Scenar L.. But something 180gr'ish 7mm.

    Which cartridge for 7mm 180gr ScenarL (ELR)

    Hi Guys, Which cartridge whould you select for pushing a 180gr 7mm Scenar L at 850-900m/s? Targets will be +1500m away and I want something that can compete with the 338LM but with less recoil. I'm thinking the good old 7mm rem mag with 26-28" barrel could do the trick, but I'm nore sure...

    Rifle Scopes Steiner Optics Factory / The new T5Xi thread (-!!-Picture Heavy-!!-)

    No worries :) However, it is strange to me that still some euro made scopes are more expensive here than in US. Swarovski, Zeiss, Lecia, Meopta all more expensive en europe than by eurooptics.com

    Rifle Scopes Steiner Optics Factory / The new T5Xi thread (-!!-Picture Heavy-!!-)

    You can't directly translate cost and difference in cost from US to Europe. Let me illustrate with some prices from one of the largest EU vendors: Kahles K624i: 2200€ (2773$) Nightforce NXS 5.5-22x56: 2119€ (2671$) Vortex Razor HD Gen 2 4,5-27x56: 2499€ (3086$) My guess is that T5Xi will be...

    Rifle Scopes Steiner Optics Factory / The new T5Xi thread (-!!-Picture Heavy-!!-)

    When can we expect the scope in Europe? And how will it affect the cost here that it is manufactured in US? I'm afraid it will not be the bargain it seems to be, because it will fall in the same price range as Viper Razer HD, Nightforce F1 NSX, Kahles etc.

    Hey guys! Does anyone have still have the solidwork files they would be willing to share? I would be so nice to see if I can make the chassis before buying a Viperskin to get the measurements.. Best regards, Søren from Denmark

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Elite 3.5-21x50 DMR for 20% hunting and 80% long range?

    It's a tough decision, yeah! Been reading alot the recent days and by doing that I feel less confident in any purchase really. Guess it's possible to find some issues with more or less all second tier brands. ERS version is too expensive here in Europe. Best price i found is 1999€! I will take...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Elite 3.5-21x50 DMR for 20% hunting and 80% long range?

    I can get 34mm Warne rings fairly cheap, so that is not the biggest issue in case of 34mm tube. I will be shooting Benchrest 100-1000m Deer hunting ~200m Danish Hunting style field comp (unknown target sizes at unknown distances, moving and static targets, different shooting positions etc...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Elite 3.5-21x50 DMR for 20% hunting and 80% long range?

    I haven't considered it because 1700 is too much. 1500 is also a bit too much, but that might be possible if the 1500 euro scope was the obvious right choice.

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Elite 3.5-21x50 DMR for 20% hunting and 80% long range?

    Thank you for elaborating :) I would say my top priority is target shooting since that's what the rifle is going to be used most for. I would like the rifle to excel in Danish hunting style field competition (unknown target sizes at unknown distances, moving and static targets, different...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Elite 3.5-21x50 DMR for 20% hunting and 80% long range?

    Correct, SWFA is not an option. However, being used to sfp scopes the trijicon reticle doesnt seem that thick?

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Elite 3.5-21x50 DMR for 20% hunting and 80% long range?

    How bad is the Trijicon reticel at 1000 yards? I got a 20moa rail, so according to my calculations I will be able to go to 1000 yards with a hold over. The March looks fucking perfect, but wow it is expensive!

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Elite 3.5-21x50 DMR for 20% hunting and 80% long range?

    Spot on! Here in Denmark it is difficult to ever be able to shoot deer past 200. Problem is that I would like to do both despite I shoot much more paper than i hunt. Just having graduated after six years at uni leaves it a bit in the future to afford any kind of luxury items.

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Elite 3.5-21x50 DMR for 20% hunting and 80% long range?

    Welcome to Europe :D You should think some of the euro made scopes were cheaper over here, but that does not seem to be the case either. Agreed that Bushnell is most value for money, but i dont know if the faint reticle at low power is a deal breaker. IOR looks like an old russion tank with...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Elite 3.5-21x50 DMR for 20% hunting and 80% long range?

    Steiner does not seem to be an option for me. Cheapest model I can find is about twice the price of the bushnell and I don't think it's worth it? Will look into Burris, but they don't seem to be that easy to find either..

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Elite 3.5-21x50 DMR for 20% hunting and 80% long range?

    Thank you for clarifying! Does anyone have a suggestion for a scope that would be better suited for my need in the same price range or is Bushnell the way to go? Bushnell is actually same price as Vortex PST in europe, and Trijicon 5-20 is a bit more expensive..
