    Vortex 30x Mil reticle eyepiece question

    Carl_Ross is right. If you want to use the subtensions how they are, you have to go with the 85mm. If you put it on the 65mm, you COULD throw out a MRAD chart and see how it lines up. Check out the Summit SS or SS-P tripods. Pretty lightweight and well-built. The legs also go out to the sides...

    Hunting & Fishing Who else out there hunts state land??

    I hunt public in Wisconsin and it's always hit or miss with other hunters in the area. During the rifle season we go way back in the woods to avoid others, but due to logging and lack of deer, we're seeing more and more people venturing into the area that we've been hunting for 10+ years.

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Viper

    They're a tough scope to beat for the price, but if you want one with matching MIL reticle/turrets, you need to step-up to the Viper HS-T series for a couple hundred more.

    Rifle Scopes shooting on a budget

    I 100% agree with limedust. Get the Viper 3-9x40 and you won't be disappointed. It's one of my favorite hunting scopes.

    Rifle Scopes 20 MOA base with 50 MOA scope

    Someone told me having it bottomed out like that does put more stress on the spring in a riflescope. It's kind of like putting 500lbs in the bed of your truck and leaving it there. It won't cause any problems right away, but could potentially lead to some down the road. Just food for thought.

    Hunting & Fishing Feral cats and head shots

    Few years ago a friend of mine who lives on a farm had a really old/sick cat he wanted me to put down. Told me to do it while his daughter was away and to bury it deep enough so the coyotes wouldn't dig it up. The 30-06 caused the cat to do a triple backflip... never felt a thing.

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Optics flip zp caps and ARD

    I gave up on the butler creeks after breaking yet another set. Got a set of the vortex with my last scope purchase and they're still running strong. They flip back farther than the BC caps, and they do seem to be more durable.

    Rifle Scopes Nikon with spot on vs. Swfa

    Strelok on android/iphone does the same thing (for less $ I believe) but with more companies/reticles than just Nikon. I use Strelok for my Vortex Viper HS 2.5-10x44 BDC and it seems to work pretty well. They have the vortex BDC on there to choose from.

    Rifle Scopes Pre-order Vortex HD II/Nightforce BEAST or buy now?

    As stated by Scott@Vortex in another thread, it sounds like a June/July release date on the Gen II is more realistic.
