I own both of these scopes. I like them both but, for different reasons. Yes the Vortex has a great warranty, I had a reticle problem with mine sent it in and received a new scope three days latter and I have never had a problem since. I have no experience with Zeiss's warranty for I have...

I have a Vortex Viper 6.5 x 20 44mm BDC, on a custom Rem 700 in a 7mm UM. I am having problems with it holding zero and problems with the tracking. I am ok with the optics but with it not holding zero and the turrets not working, well... Its useless to say the least. I had the problem early...

What are you asking for it?

Enter Me In The Swarovski/Cameraland Contest.

Thanks for the info, I went with 54gr and getting 3040fps with a 30" tube.

Well I did have a great load gun)but I am having a real problem finding componets so I am having to try something new... So here I am... Would anyone have any data for the 6.5 X 284 shooting 140gr. VLDS with R-19 and Br-2's? I beleive the nosler manual has data but mine is on loan and I don't...

I have a friend who has a rem with 1:7 it works great. It is a fast enough twist to shoot the heavy pills and because of the lower velocity with the .223 it still shoots the 55's great and it makes for a very nice explosion of the vermon :D and that helps make it easier to be a spectator while...

I have used them in my RUM and they are very accurate! I have used them on long shots on animals and they work great but on a few things I have shot inside of 400yds out of that gun if you were to make a bad shot I think you might want something that would hold together a little better. But...

I think mixing is dangerous! I once mixed whiskey with ice and almost killed my self!!:D This one time I tried mixing it up with my girlfriend and her hot little sister... Well it seemed like a good ideal at the time...:rolleyes: I wounder what she's up to these days?

For a first rifle I will have to second the Savage and if you are worried about recoil I don't think you could beat a 30.06 you will have plenty enough gun for anything you will shoot and ammo is half the price of many others so you will be able to pratice for a lot less money and for a first...

I have a couple Rem 700 rifles that will flat out shoot!! One is a ADL in 30.06 and with the "right load" it will take the staples out of a target at 100yds, the other is a 7RUM BDL and after some "extensive range time and finally finding the right load" it is very! impresive. After all of...

Well if you are not concerned about weight there are a number of good choices. I have a Conquest 6.5x20 on one of my hunting rigs and I love it but it wouldn't be my first choice goat hunting. If you are worried about weight you should give the Leupold Mark 2 a look. You get a ruggid lighter...
