Weatherby customer service is the best I’ve dealt with also.

My preference in order: Blind Hinged Floorplate DBM I have an irrational dislike for DBM’s.

I have no hard feelings either and respect your opinion. I still believe it's hard to beat the .243 for recoil shy shooters. If I lived where deer are big bodied I might feel different. I've been hunting deer since the late 60's and the biggest I've killed I don't believe had a live weight...

I don’t have a problem with people using a .243 for mule deer.

Don’t forget to ask her permission before you do.

Optics Planet has a bad reputation(well deserved IMO and experience), for showing an item as being in stock and after it is purchased, sending the buyer and Email stating the item is backordered and will be shipped at a later date. The Email is sent after the credit card is dinged and the...

R&M FIREARMS

3.5-10x44 MeoPro scope and 10x12 MeoPro binocular. Very satisfied.

I don’t have any rifles chambered in cartridges more powerful than 30-06, I do have two rifles that came with hooded front sights. Don’t know why but prefer not to have a hood. Both rifles also have scopes so I use irons very sparingly.

I have a couple of MeoPro 3.5-10x44s. I’ve looked through the Optika6 and believe the glass is comparable to the MeoPro. I have a VX-3 1.75-6x32. The glass during normal daylight looks comparable between the Leupold and Meopta. In low light the Meopta is better to my eyes.

I find that very interesting. I’d love for you to elaborate.

I carry a small lock-blade Case all the time. When hunting I carry a large Buck lock-blade

I believe the Vortex Crossfire II Rimfire scopes to be way over priced for the quality you get. I’ve mounted a bunch of them and find the eye relief and box horrendous. Nikon made an excellent EFR Rimfire scope. So did Weaver. Leupold still makes one, the Freedom 3-9x33 EFR. There is also...

I have Leupold, Meopta and Zeiss scopes with German #4 reticles. It is my favorite reticle and most of my scopes have them. One of my Leupold’s has an illuminated #4 which to me is the best of two worlds. Only the the dot is illuminated, the bars are not. I don’t believe I’d like the whole...
