Could be wrong but the power of the scope doesnt change how much the rifle bounces around only that the rifle appears more stable with a lower power.

I have a Sako l61r in 338wm. I bought it used. I have never shot it. I can't imagine needing more in North America. I had a 338-06 built for elk hunting in Eastern Oregon about 25 years ago. I have never needed more. I have 375 H&Hs and larger but to me they were range toys. I shoot the larger...

Looking back most of the shots I have had at deer i do not remember having time to mess with my scope if I had wanted to. The short amount of time I had I would prefer to be sighting in on my game animal. To me 6x meets this need

I think it should be said that a rifle scope does not replace a good pair of binoculars or a spotting scope for safety reasons if not etiquett when hunting.

I am seeing a lot of 4-12 or 4-16 power scopes. I use the lower power for hunting and the higher powers for load development. While hunting i am not worried about bullseye accuracy. 2moa is plenty for hunting since I limit myself to 300 yards.

That would make me pretty old - nope

I have a few friends that like myself that are democrats that started hunting in our early teens and served in the military. We continued to hunt and shoot through out our lifetimes. I think there are probably others - want to bet?

What makes you think we dont?

Time for article 25

It will be interesting to see how Trump handles the next 60 days.. I expect he will do what and as much as he can with his with agenda.to better himself.

I mounted a leupold VX3 1.5x5 in Alaskan mounts. For my purposes I dont expect to shoot it past 200yards. I need to take it out.

My 22 is old compared to a lot of these rifles. I shoot a Marlin model 81dl that was manufactured back in 1937 based on the serial number. I dont shoot it pass about 75 yards but it was accurate enough for shooting small bore in 4-H when I was a kid. It has never let me down. Liked it so well I...

I have five Ruger #1s (220 swift. 270 win, 30-06, 9.3x74r and 375H&H) The only one i haven't shot is the 375. I love the #1s.All so far have been fairly accurate. For North America I am not sure if I would buy the 375 again as I have not found it can do much the 9.3x74r can't Nice to have...

I have never been impressed with the 17HMR. I have one but have never really used it. My logic is if I need something more substantial than a 22LR I will go to the 223 Remington or faster 22's. I grew up shooting fox squirrels back in Michigan with a 22LR. It does that job well.

That is reffered to as the sail which is part of the suiper structure. It houses the antennas and radar. Where the old boats had a seperate water tight compartment where the periscopes were manned -- separate from the control room - the new boats bypass this seperate water tight compartment and...
