    BTX Practical Application Question

    I just got back from my elk hunt. For me the BTX was amazing for extended glassing but lacked the magnification necessary to score animals, even with the doubler it was tough. We had a ton of Swaro glass on the hill and almost everyone agreed the ATX and 95mm was the best. We threw my doubler...

    Swarovski BTX eyepiece

    I wasn’t able to look at low light at the store. Looked through the BTX tonight and they are pretty damn good, Leica 10x42 Geovid are better. Both beat my Swaro scope on the rifle but that’s to be expected. It was well past legal daylight hours by the time I looked through it anyway...

    Swarovski BTX eyepiece

    Well I did it. Local shop had all the components in stock. Single eyepiece felt like going back to the Stone Age after looking through the BTX. Now I’m gonna have to upgrade my tripod too...

    Swarovski BTX eyepiece

    Thanks for the replies, although I couldn’t pick out any horns from the photo! Looks like Cabelas has one so maybe I can look at it at the end of the week. I’m sure the resale value is there if I can’t get along with it for some reason. Buy once, cry once right?

    Swarovski BTX eyepiece

    Has anyone used the new BTX eyepiece? I’m hoping to look through one but they are tough to track down and handle in store. I’m really interested in the concept but a little concerned about the lack of zoom. I’m looking at the 85mm body but may go with the 95mm. Is the lack of eye fatigue and...

    Hunting & Fishing 300wm rifle recommendation for Elk hunt

    I’ve been pretty happy with my SAKO Finnlight in .300WSM. I’m not sure what it weighs with the Swaro 4-16 but it’s nice to pack. Better hold on tight when you pull the trigger, doesn’t have a lot of felt recoil, but there is a “kick” to it. I’m thinking about trying a brake or maybe even a...

    Sniper’s Hide Cup 2018 Sniper's Hide Team Challenge Colville WA

    That is impressive! I’ve got a mini Fix on order for my 10 yr old. He will have to put in some time and I hope we can be there in 2019. Santa is bringing me a 6.5 so these pics are great motivation. Thanks!

    Sniper’s Hide Cup 2018 Sniper's Hide Team Challenge Colville WA

    @Lowlight - What calibers are the youth shooters using? Are .223 or.224V acceptable?

    PRS Talk My Solution to Prize Table Bias

    Are the prizes split accordingly by class? Or just by total ranking? Ropings pay same percentage to novice as they do pros. Bigger pot = bigger payout. Sponsor typically add to pot in each division, often novice pots are bigger due to more entries. Pros typically get individual sponsorship...

    PRS Talk My Solution to Prize Table Bias

    I see that, in our sport that scenario doesn’t happen. Everyone competes against those in their own level. If not enough people show up we do a draw pot or round robin and the best ropers (high number) are paired with novice (low number) to average out. Again this is a team sport so there is...

    PRS Talk My Solution to Prize Table Bias

    Why has a handicap system not evolved in competitive shooting? Aside from a “production” class? I come from a rodeo background, specifically team roping. It’s a very expensive hobby, horses aren’t cheap and they eat every day. Should be a rich mans game. But it’s not. The number system...

    Zeroing at 200 yards and beyond

    Just know your system. There is quite a difference in hunting BDC type stuff and “tactical” stuff My .300WSM and Swaro BDC SFP works really well at 200 yd zero, but references all change based on magnification power. I have two stickers on my stock and usually have time to range and adjust...

    Cabelas Krotos HD Spotting scope is $500 off; worth buying?

    I bought Cabela’s Meopta binos and 65mm spotter and sure wish now I had saved for Swaro or Leica. Granted this was 10 years ago before HD glass but I’m still upset every time I use them.

    Home-made "poor man's mini-FIX"

    I was initially confused about the pricing as well, but I’m still in line. Building a semi-custom rifle on a budget is harder than it looks, even experienced ‘smiths run into problems and time and money are usually the only answers. The “John Hancock” is probably the best bet, but there are...

    My Tweeked LH CZ 452 American!

    Nice! What base and rings are you using? Did you tap the factory rail? I desperately need to upgrade my 452

    The Fix from Q

    I ordered the mini, I was initially hesitant but I figured I would give it a try. It is reassuring that you have such good things to say about the rifle and the company. I guess we will see if the .224V lives up to the hype but it fills a niche quite well for me personally (on paper at least)...
