SOLD my Magnetospeed Sporter Chronograph. Works realiably and is in good condition. Feel free to ask questions!
$100 to your door in the continental states.
Depends a lot on the distance. You can be wrong by double and never notice if you think it's 50y but it's actually 100y.
But if you guess 400 and it's actually 450, you'll miss entirely or would the animal.
Spend some time playing with ballistic calculators and keep and eye on the drop...
Used from a brand with a bulletproof warranty. 100%.
Wouldn't shock me to see a pair of BX-4 Pro guide 10x42s on ebay for $300. I think I paid $350 for mine. Insane quality for the money.
Vortex obviously has the same quality of warranty and I've heard good things about Athlon as well.
Thanks. Yeah I love my BX-4 10x42s. One of my best friends has a pair of swaro 10x binos and sure, they're better, but like, not $2000 better 😂.
Which is exactly why I've been looking at the SX-4.
Are there any high-power binos in this price range worth considering? I'm not opposed to the idea but I'm not immediately familiar with decent options.
Thanks all for the suggestions and thoughts. Keep 'em comin'!
I've been saving up for a Leupold SX-4 15-45x65 spotter, and now it's time for my typical "talk me out of it" process before I drop $$$ on something I'll hopefully pass down to my kids.
I've been using a 13-33x50 Nikon ED Field scope for the past 6 years or so; it was my first spotter. I...
I've also had issues with "welding" to the case, although no one has been able to explain it to me (including some very smart and educated engineers familiar with metallurgy). Anyway, I was able to solve the problem by adding a swipe of graphite to the inside of the neck before seating. Works...
This argument has always cracked me up. Dogs do great on cooked food because we've been feeding dogs cooked food for at least three thousand years. Maybe ten thousand.
Just logging another super clean kill with the HH (this time with the 120gr out of my 7mm-08). MV ~3025fps and a 60 yard shot. Probably my best shot placement on a deer -- entered and exited just behind the legs. The HH made soup of the lungs and he went all of 30 yards before dropping. 👍
+1 for a warmer pad if you haven't already maxed that out. Thermarest xtherm or the new Nemo extreme conditions tensor will make a MASSIVE difference in how warm you sleep.
+1 for a bottle of hot water in the foot of the bag
But to answer the main question: I've found draping down layers...
7mm-08
Started during COVID when quality non-lead ammo was basically impossible to find in eastern WA. Ammo security/availability is still certainly a big consideration, but loading for accuracy for my rifle and generally having fun with the hobby are the main things now.
