    POF and my Incredibly Disappointing Experience......

    I wanted to chime in and report my extremely positive experience with CFL and also with POF. I have purchased a POF P308 , 6.5 Edge and P415 in 6.8 all from CFL and needed quite a bit of support from both CFL and POF which has always been superb. On the 308 I wanted another barrel in 20" and...

    Rifle Scopes Steiner T5xi 5-25x56 FFP vs Nightforce NXS 3.5-15x50 SFP on POF P308

    Good point - except sometime there is useful information like - "Yeah, I dropped my Steiner two feet on the rocks while grabbing my sandwich on an Elk hunt and the turrets broke" or "I used a second focal plane for years and after going to FFP there was no looking back." (just made up examples)...

    Rifle Scopes Steiner T5xi 5-25x56 FFP vs Nightforce NXS 3.5-15x50 SFP on POF P308

    I have a POF P308 with a 20in barrel and I also have the two scopes in the title and would appreciate opinions on which one to use for this rifle. The Rifle is used for Target/Tactical/SHTF and possibly as a medium range hunting platform. It shoots ELD X 178 at 2580 and I am capable of 1 MOA on...

    Optics WTS:, Badger, Knights, and SIG Unimounts.

    Could not figure out how to PM - Price seems fair - I see conflicting pictures of MD 2.0 reticle on line - does this one have the illumination only on the dot in the middle or the whole portion of the mil dots like here -...

    Burris Eliminator III on POF p308 Piston gun

    I posted this in scopes bit it occurred to me that I might get more appropriate feedback here. I was thinking of replacing my Bushnell 6500 elite 2.5x16x50 with an Eliminator III - 3x12x44 which I already own, on my POF P308 Semi Auto Piston gun with a 20" barrel. They seem to get criticized...

    Rifle Scopes Burris Eliminator III on POF P308 AR-10

    I was thinking of replacing my Bushnell 6500 elite 2.5x16x50 with an Eliminator III - 3x12x44 which I already own, on my POF P308 Semi Auto Piston gun with a 20" barrel. They seem to get criticized fairly often but I have yet to read about them failing. The glass is good enough and the...

    Rifle Scopes Best scope for $2k or less

    I had the same choice and got a new Steiner T5xi 5x25 for $1440 - My NXS is super durable and the turrets are great but the glass is kind of mid-rate - shooting at the indoor range I think my Bushnell 6500 Elite for half the price actually has better glass although the Nightforce is a far more...

    Leica HD-B Ballistics using Hornady 4DOF Data

    I just bought my first pair of Tier One Optics - the Leica Geovid HD-B from Doug. I shoot Hornady 143 ELDX in my 6.5-06 because they group, give me acceptable velocity (2814) in my 22.25 barrel and seem like they will be a great all purpose hunting bullet. I am attracted to using the actual...

    Sig Sauer - KILO3000 BDX LASER RANGEFINDING BINOCULARS

    I got a call and status update from Optics Planet today on my order - they are saying the 3000 BDX is 7-9 weeks away from shipping, I was impressed that they actually called on the phone - I was planning on comparing them to the Leica HD-B 2200 - but they will be gone by then. Can anyone provide...

    Nikon Laserforce vs Leica Geovid HD-B 2000

    Thanks sasquatch98266 for the response. It is good to know the Nikon's perform in ranging. I had a chance to compare the Nikons, $1200 to the the Leica Geovid R for $1400 yesterday. In a huge store at about 60 yds the Leica's crushed the Nikons in optical quality as you stated. I would have...

    Nikon Laserforce vs Leica Geovid HD-B 2000

    This year's Elk hunt was especially difficult due to heavy snow and 14 degrees F temperature. The usual process of digging in the pack for the rangefinder, getting the binoculars dialed in and taking off my gloves to operate the two devices was far more taxing then in less extreme situations. I...

    Rifle Scopes Steiner MX5i and T5xi Value

    I finally got the MX5i and Tx5i from OP and spent about two hours looking through them side by side. I wanted to see a difference but they simply looked identical as to glass quality. I tried all powers but spent the most time looking at a farm, tractor and white horse about 410yds away. The M...

    Switch Rifle Custom Build

    After great input in this forum on an earlier post and and several weeks of research I am close to finalizing my custom build and would appreciate input on a few open items. I originally wanted a one gun solution for long range ELK to 450 yds and long range target to 1000 yds. I was going to...

    Perfect Long Range Multi Purpose Rig

    The 6.5 SAUM appears to be quit a bit more efficient than the 26 Nosler - As to weight goals- yes it would take a 13lb rifle/scope to keep the 7RM with 160g bullets at 15lbs recoil without a brake - which I consider pleasant and not fatiguing.

    Perfect Long Range Multi Purpose Rig

    Thanks for all the great feedback - I consider long range on targets 1000yds and would like to be able to hit that someday. I have never tried, my son and I will go with our gun club this summer. I originally started out with the "Beware of the man with one gun" mentality, but after much...

    Perfect Long Range Multi Purpose Rig

    I am finally going to stop over shooting all my hunting rifles at the range and get a proper tool built - I am looking to get into long range target, shooting handloads at the bench and every now and then possibly take the gun on a hunt for Elk where If I am good enough I will take shots 450...

    Rifle Scopes Steiner MX5i and T5xi Value

    "I just purchased both a Steiner 5-25x56 M5Xi MSR2 for 2270 and also a Steiner T5Xi 5-25x56mm SCR-MOA Reticle for 1435 online with the idea to pick one and send the other back - I have read a ton on-line and as no one has both in stock near me I wanted opinions as to whether the 835 US is worth...
