After much reading of reviews and some comparisons in stores, I purchased Swaro SLC binos last year. I compared them to best vortex and SLCs were much better - much crisper images. The other bino I was strongly considering was the Leica Geovid rangefinder combo in similar price range online...

I have two north face duffel bags thst work great for traveling and have lifetime warranties. The wheels sound great to have but I think the added weight (and potential failure point) is a drawback. I also believe a really big bag means you'll load it over the weight allowed for normal checked...

Thank you

I'm interested in learning more about experiences using hornady Eld-x bullets for hunting. I am considering this for my .308 and 7 Rem. Mag. I'm mostly curious about its performance in short range. I've read some information on this site and others and believe it will work well at longer range...

Gotcha. I am doing the same. I just purchased my first Swarovski. It's a Z5 5-25x50. I was considering vx6 4-24x50 too. I really like the idea of illuminated reticle on leupold but opted for lighter weight of swaro...all options considered -weight ended up being deciding factor for me.

Out of curiousity, how does the VX6 compare to Z3?

150 grain. See below from nosler website. 308 WINCHESTER Ballistics Bullet Weight: 150 grain Bullet Style: AccuBond Part #: 60056 Count: 20 Lead Free: No BBL Twist: 1-10" Use: Deer & Elk Sized Game

Thanks for replies...very helpful. One thing that has me wondering is nosler trophy grade accubond ammo states 10" twist rate needed for .308. The other ammo choices I want to use don't specify a twist rate to compare with.

I'm resurrecting this old thread to ask for some advice on twist rate for .308 rifle. I am considering .308 in either Browning XBolt or Tikka T3X - took me a while to narrow down to these 2 rifles so I'd like to stay with one of them. My preference is the X Bolt BUT it is only available in...

I called McMillan. Those stocks sound great, but I don't want to spend $1000 on stock at this point. I'd prefer to buy a new lightweight rifle which is one of my main desires right now. Well, I got lucky and found one on eBay. It's a Bell & Carlson. I just received it and my barrel and...

Thanks for the feedback. I'm still undecided but if I use bipod I will go with one of these lightweight options.

I need some advice. I've been on a kick to reduce weight of my 10lb rifle so that is easier to carry on hunts in mountains over long distances. I will use a backpack, but on past hunts I find that I like to carry my rifle in hand when I'm hunting so I really prefer lightweight. I have used...

I'm looking for a synthetic stock for Sako L61r/AIII.
