    Best binos in 600-800 range

    Take a look at the Zeiss conquest HD line and the Bushnell elite line. Both are very bright and come with hydrophobic lens coatings, a must if you hunt in wet weather like here in Oregon. One of the sponsors has demos on sale Here and here. 10X is a bit too much for me, 8x is easier on my eyes...

    Maggie’s Motivational Pic Thread v2.0 - - New Rules - See Post #1

    Gentlemen, I have been a fan of this thread and have followed it since its inception (the band thread). I'm a huge fan of the witty humor as well as T&A but reposting from the old thread is not a good idea. There where permission issues with the old thread with old girlfriends as well as...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell 3.5-21 History

    The first scopes with the H58 sold for $760 to all LEO/Military. It felt like the H58 reticle was part of a trial run, it was quickly replaced with the H59/gap and is no longer offered. They sold off the H58s and didn't look back. There's a Bushnell rep that hangs around... maybe he'll chime...

    Re: stockade stock finishing? It's not difficult and the others have pretty much covered the prep work. Have fun with it and take your time, The more prep work you do the better it will look. A while back I built a 6.5-284 on one of Kevin's stocks and decided I was going to put a palm...

    Gunsmithing 300wm freebore?

    Re: 300wm freebore? What bullet weight are we talking about and what did you specify? This may be the problem since you have not specified what you ordered. A smith without direction is going to chamber a barrel to SAAMI specs. Ask your smith how he set it up. If you want it shorter he will...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell vs Nikon

    Re: Bushnell vs Nikon Wreck, being North of us I would consider the advantage of the Rainguard coatings on the 4200. It's not a big advantage but it does help. Now, I don't know what you've looked at but the 4.5-16X50 4200 is a great hunting scope for long range. If most of your shooting...

    Rifle Scopes Review: Bushnell HDMR

    Re: Review: Bushnell HDMR The glass appears to be the same quality as the new 4200's - which is very good for the price. The amazing thing is you have four quality scopes available right now that are FFP with matching turrets for under a grand: Bushnell, Vortex, Weaver and Super Sniper...

    Rifle Scopes Review: Bushnell HDMR

    Re: Review: Bushnell HDMR While I don't see haze at high power, I do see some tunneling at it's lowest setting. The black ring returns to normal at 4X. The locking turret is nice but I'd like to see it snap in place at the top when it's pulled up - it would make the turret elevation lines...

    6mm AI or 243 AI?

    Re: 6mm AI or 243 AI? For me the big benefit was brass flow, or lack of it. I was trimming my standard 243 brass after every other firing. I find the 243AI significantly reduces brass flow. I check brass now after forming and then again after the fifth firing and even then I rarely have...
