    Chrono for Factory Load Verification

    Hey all, Limited budget ($200 or less). Need something to capture data and compare against what's on the back of the box. No plans to start reloading in the future. Just need to get data for ballistics chart and Leupold custom dials. Also will use for arrows. Looks like Caldwell or...

    WTB: Tikka T3X 30-06 Magazine

    Looking for a T3X magazine for the 30-06 cartridge. Will entertain either the 3 or 5 rounder. (I believe the .25-06 Rem, 6.5x55 Swed Mauser, 270 Win, 30-06 Sprg , 7mm Rem Mag, 300 Win Mag, 338 Win Mag magazines are the same) Don't really care the condition so long as it functions properly...

    Complete Leupold Loadout or save up for Swarovski?

    agreed, the VIP discount and great experience with various products keeps Leopold at the top of my list though.

    Complete Leupold Loadout or save up for Swarovski?

    save up for quiet a while or wait until I finally get my money from that Nigerian prince haha! My assumption is that in X years when I want to drop that much on binos, a good pair of secondhand SLCs will be much much tougher to come by. Though I will obviously explore it

    Complete Leupold Loadout or save up for Swarovski?

    Thank you all for the insightful responses! I think will plan to happily hunt with my current set up, but save for some top end 8x42 binos. On that topic, does anyone have any experience with the "rolling ball" effect from the field flattened Swaro EL's? The 8.5x42 ELs seem to be the...

    Complete Leupold Loadout or save up for Swarovski?

    Yep, tripod is a must. Not necessarily looking to part with cash, but i can definitely find a use case for a set of 15x or a small spotter (range use, checking out deer and hogs in the agg fields, general observation off the back porch etc..), on the same accord, my 10x are on my chest pretty...

    Complete Leupold Loadout or save up for Swarovski?

    Hey all, wanted to know what yall think about working to complete a set of leupold optics (in the bx4/ bx5 line) or saving up for a single set of swaro ELs or SLCs. Currently use the bx4 10x42s and rx1600 for my whitetail and hog hunting in the southeast, but i plan to venture out west more and...

    How far would you shoot with 10x mag?

    Exactly why I wanted to gather some real world experience. Like I said in the original post, i see a lot of folk say "oh yea you could hunt anything at ethical distance with a 3-9x if you wanted to" I wanted to see what people felt comfortable/ confident with!

    How far would you shoot with 10x mag?

    Been seeing a lot of folks say "i could shoot far with only 9x or 10x" or "a 3-9x or 3-10x is all you really need". I want to know how far you would be confident in shooting game with a scope w/ a top end of 10x. "Far" for me is 250yds + I've read a lot of reviews, but want to know from...
