Those are some nice hogs

Thanks guys that helps the decision some more, I think I’ll grab it and try it out.

each day that passes that my boy is another day older and I can’t go backwards. I’d go broke if I could keep them this small

Any insight helps, I more worried about ruggedness than anything, I’m sitting in my shooting shack as we speak 30 mins after sunset, the heavy German post reticle definitely helps on a 3D target 200 yards away compared to the finer vx3.

Guys just looking who has first hand experience with these model scopes? I found one for a smoking deal from a friend , side by side the vx3HD it doesn’t seem night and day difference like the binos of the same companies are. It’s the same size and weight roughly but also no exposed turrets...

I was hoping this was posted because they were implying they were available

When did they stop making Johnson’s paste wax? My local hardware store has some. But let me elaborate, my local hardware store is in the middle of nowhere and has everything from a bygone era

More practice loads for 35 whelen , same POI as the north forks but much cheaper. 225g Sierra game kings at 2650 fps. Confirming 2 scopes In QD rings out to 200 on a set of homage sticks using garden posts, hockey tape and a bicycle tube

Shoe wax of any kind or Hornady One Shot.

I wish this was right handed ; the exact rifle I have been searching for

I think it’s a choice we all need to decide on separately. My first trip is soon and I’m 38, if I never went and I was on my death bed it wouldn’t bother me. I don’t have “bucket list” items. I just live the life I want and enjoy what comes for opportunities

Regarding woodleighs if this isn’t robbing the OP thread, I’m curious on experience with running below the recommended velocity window as far as performance.

Binos received and just as described. Very smooth transaction, Thank you.

I’ll take the other

I know from experience that a normal large rifle primer will unseat a 35 caliber 225g bullet into a barrel… Not far enough to suck coming back out but into the rifling
