Re: Finished my build....FINALLY!! Just to clarify, where we were isn't exactly a firing range. We had to "build" one at the end of the valley we hunt black bear in. This is what it takes to shoot long range near the Anchorage area. You have to drive over an hour from town to do so...

Re: Finished my build....FINALLY!! Thanks, I'll tell the wife. She took the photo

She's FINALLY done (for now ;))!! So, in case I haven't introduced myself to most of you guys, my names Steve. I got started in this "black hole" of a sport back in February, so I'm fairly new to the game. I've learned a great deal since I've been on the Hide and want to thank everyone who has...

Re: Worst Movie you ever saw Google "Zardoz"....it's suppose to be the "best worst movie ever made". Think....Sean Connery wearing a red diaper, sporting a ponytail, wielding a revolver and riding a horse. How bad could it be...and the best part, if you make it that far, is how the name of...

Re: Vortex Viper PST SFP vs. Horus Predator FFP?? Yeah, I've been debating whether or not I need FFP. For the money, I can get a NICE SFP with all the bells and whistles. I've only had experience with SFP scopes and am familiar with them. My rifle is pretty much a range queen as it weighs...

Anyone have any experience with these? I was wondering which would be a better buy. The Vortex PST 6-24x50 has the warranty in the bag, but is SFP vs. the Horus with the H70 reticle and FFP, but only a one year warranty. Anyone EVER need to use their warranty on a Horus scope? Just wondering...

Re: New scope recommendations??? Well, I know some of you will naysay to this, but I think I've decided to go with the Falcon Menace 5-25x50 with the illuminated B20 reticle. I've read up on the older reviews, and to be honest, I think it's a hell of a buy considering the features. Not sure...

Re: New scope recommendations??? For those interested, according to SWFA, Wonder Optics (WOTAC) handles the warranty for Falcon Menace scopes. Still haven't made up my mind though...That FFP illuminated reticle for $550 was sounding really nice. But Vortex's warranty just can't be beat. It's...

Re: New scope recommendations??? Anything, anyone else? So this is the newly revised list... 1.Vortex Viper 6.5-20x50 PA w/ Mil-Dot reticle 2.SWFA SS16x 3.Falcon Menace 5-25x56 EMD reticle (unless anyone has experience with the Ill. reticle version, haven't found ANYTHING on this one, but...

Re: New scope recommendations??? Thanks bigd...I'll email SWFA today about the Falcon warranty and get more info on that. I'm still leaning towards the SS 16x, but I would really like a variable like you said. The main selling point to mean on the Falcon is FFP and the good reviews it's got...

Ok, here's my predicament. My B-day is coming up and the wife is greenlighting an upgrade optic on my rem 700 .308 sps-v with B&C A-5 stock. It currently has a....Nikon Buckmasters 4.5-14x40 mil-dot on it. Yeah, I know...but hey, it got me out to my first 300yd session. Ok...here are my top...
