    500-700 elk/deer lightest recoil?

    Evolution 9, Have you tried the Sierra 77gr TMK’s yet? If not, that is a nasty bullet for game.

    500-700 elk/deer lightest recoil?

    Ft-lbs of energy is not a wounding mechanism and in no way will tell you a single thing about how much tissue a bullet will destroy or how deep it will penetrate. Yes, and easily. Pick the correct bullet and no issue. 666 yards. 130gr Berger Hybrid. Shot bedded. Left 1.5” exit wound...

    Rifle Scopes Is the ATACR 1-8 really worth two Razor 1-6's?

    I have used/seen used 13 with more than 3k rounds apiece. 3 have had their reticles rotate 45 degrees. Two right around 2,500-3,000 rounds of 5.56, and one just over 14,000 rounds with much abuse. Have used VCOG’s heavily. A couple have had zero retention issues, all have had inconsistent...

    Rifle Scopes Is the ATACR 1-8 really worth two Razor 1-6's?

    The first picture is the only Razor that has lasted. As for why more don’t see it- quite a few, but simple reasons. 1). Most are shooting ball ammo that is only truly 4-5 MOA. 2). Most do not zero at 100+ yards with statistically valid group sizes (10+ rounds per group) and note group size...

    Rifle Scopes Is the ATACR 1-8 really worth two Razor 1-6's?

    I don’t really post here, however..... I personally have had four (4) 1-6x Razor Gen II’s fail on work rifles between 2,700 and 3,500 rounds. Three were catastrophic fails. I’ve used a couple dozen, and around 50% have had intermittent zero shifts of .2-.4 mil (same lot of ammo for zero...

    GEISSELE URGI

    I’ve shot the initial baseline groups for about 20 URGI’s. 3x10 round groups for a 30 shot composite have averaged bewteen 1.7-2.2 MOA at 100 yards with good lots of MK262. 600 yard, 10 round groups are about the same- I.e.- 10-15 inches.

    GEISSELE URGI

    There were a mix of G and MK12 gas blocks on the URG-I’s. The USMC has chosen to stay with the IAR despite all data showing other options are significantly superior.

    Rifle Scopes RFI (weak search-fu): direct mount/rings for Sako/Tikka/KRG

    If you are not looking for an angled set, the Sportsmatch rings are excellent. We have four pair that we have conducted drop tests for zero retention and POI shifts. They are very durable, with no loss of zero or shifts through heinous abuse. They mount directly to the rail and include a...

    Geissele SSP?

    I have more than 10k rounds on the first SSP ever produced. It is a great trigger for action shooting. For general/Precision use I prefer the SSF/SSA-E.

    Who has an ODG ARC rig?

    I use them. Grey Ghost Gear sells them now. Other than the bino pouch being enormous, it is excellent for what it is for.

    Whow owns a howa mini in 6.5G?

    Got one the other day. So far have only shot one 10 round group. The 2x4 of a stock had to go. Did a 5 minute epoxy bed to get the barrel centered and stop contact and sent it off to get slimmed way down. It'll be a cool lightweight hunting rifle when finished. Hornady ELD-M 123gr Factory...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA SS 1-6X24HD Pics

    Re: SWFA SS 1-6X24HD Pics Just FYI, the Bushnell Elite Tactical 1-6.5x is not a contender. The reticle is nowhere near bright enough for daytime use.

    Hunting & Fishing Killin Science and bullet selection for the layman

    Re: Killin Science and bullet selection for the layman That does in fact read like a list for Africa. And solid information, for AFRICA. Depending on what your definition of "big" game is. For deer (200+/-lbs) it would certainly change. As you wrote, the size of the permanent wound...

    Hunting & Fishing I need new hunting clothes/camo bad

    Re: I need new hunting clothes/camo bad Unless your are hunting predators, you don't need an ghillie suit. And even then you don't need one. I hunted the Sandhills of Nebraska last year for Mule deer and walked up to quite a few coyotes. Camo mattered not. Anymore if it isn't raining I...

    Hunting & Fishing Hornady A-Max

    Re: Hornady A-Max Has anyone used the AMP jacketed ones on game yet? Any comparisons in regard to the old ones in terminal performance? I've still got hundreds loaded for hunting, but curious on the new ones.
