I just figured I'd share my hunting story from this year. My girlfriend (She's sharp and learns extremely rapidly, as in, she had never shot anything but a .22 before, and I had her making accurate and rapid hits on a 25 yard target using my pump gun and 12ga slugs in about 3 hours of shooting...

Shot at 23 yards, traveled 68 yards.

When you buy a Swarovski, kahles, S&B, Leupold Mk6 or mk8, etc, it's more than a product. It's the reputation of that company. They tend to back it. I'd not let anyone but Swarovski touch it.

It's only a matter of time before this isn't a 4/1 thing. I mean, at the rate technology is going, would it really be that hard to do with a .30 caliber projectile in 5-10 years time?

This is an example of why I prefer a LPV over a RDS. I took this picture WELL AFTER sunset. You must excuse the potato I used to take the photo, obviously resolution of the optic is not this poor. I took the photo to emphasize how a LPV on 1x with an illuminated reticle works VERY well when the...

Chuck Hawks has his own opinions... That said, the .30 magnums are popular because that caliber has spawned some amazing bullets. So what did wildcatters and companies do? They took amazing bullets and made them go faster. I think they are popular because their development was economical. It's...

It's not so much overkill as iti s going to be annoying as hell. A) It's more weight to lug around. B) with the lowest power being 5x, it's going to suck for things up close. C)If you ever choose to set it at 25x, I hope you're shooting off of a bag, or sled, at least a bipod with a rear bag...

Far too many people will compensate for crap glass by "adding x's" to the equation. "For $600, I can get 4x more power with this brand vs. $600 for that brand giving me 4x less...." is a common sentiment. I cannot count the number of scopes I've looked through at the local shooting range that...

Red dot sights, I would not like for this. 1) Light transmission is far inferior to an actual scope 2) You are not shooting from under a vehicle bumper, etc. You don't need a super super super forgiving eyebox. 3) You can buy something like a MK6, K16i, Z6i that will do 95% of what a RD will...

This bullet is barrier blind, accurate, and a very solid performer in the LE arena. What my concern is, and maybe you guys (you might be the BEST guys to answer this...) can help me with something...does that nickel plated jacket foul the bore? If so, how does it (or does it not...) clean up? I...

I'm waiting for the Kahles version, personally. I hope they field one. Much prefer rheostat to the ocular doodicker Swarovski likes.

Keep in mind that the Fusion/Gold Dot line is only going to penetrate about 16-22" in tissue. It was designed for killing deer and people. Not big African animals.

I am a huge fan of fusion. It is extremely accurate in every gun I've used it in, the most impressive being a group measuring just under 1.1" ctc. 10 shots, 100 yards, using a 4x night force on my 16" chrome lined m4 type rifle with gov. Profile barrel. Terminally, it's killed a lot of animals...

Could it be locations ? Are bears the same size all through AK?

Respectfully,re: bear and Alaska The people I spoke of are law enforcement and have killed many Grizzly. One dept. Uses 3"brenneke black magic, the other uses 2-3/4" brenneke classic magnum (the old rottweil load, basically). Both have used it to very good effect numerous times. Again that...
