Thanks yea I know about exit pupils I think it is nice to have the extra mag there it's easy to turn a scope down but if you have a 3-9 x40 you have 9x power and that's it
Be nice to be able to zoom in some times
Just got a look at the hd5 and I also looked at the SWAROVSKI Z3 and Z5 and I liked the hd5 better than
Z3 but the Z5 3.5-18x44 with balistic turrent was a realy nice peace of kit anyone got one of these and what are your experiences?
I know it's out of my price range but I think it's worth...
So I went to the shop looked through two leupolds a vx3i 3.5-10x40 , and a 4.5-14x40 one vortex a hslr 4-16x44
And a s111 3.5-10x44 and looked into a dark corner and up the road and in those conditions the leupold and s111 had the best light gathering
With the vortex a bit duller also the...
How does the reticle go in low light as that's what is putting me off the viper a bit as it seems to be hard to pick up and is the glass as good as the hd5
Hi
I'm after some input on a scope to put on my 284win
That I am in process of building.
It is going on a tikka t3 lite and it will be used for hunting deer in close scrub and In the open out to 800m.
So because it is used up close I want a max on the low end of 3x and at least 10x in the...
I think the practical thing to do would be to go with the .280 but i'm leaning towards the 280ai or .284 as i can always get a longer barrel if i don't achieve my goals any way
I thought about the 7mm08ai but dont think would be enough difference in performance to justify the cost of fireforming brass
and if i get 2-300fps gain with .284win /280 even with a 22" barrel which i think is easly done.
this would take me out to 1000yards with over 1000ft-lb
my current...
what sort of velocity are you getting out of your .284
I love the 7mm-08 its chambered in but the case capacity with high b.c pulls is a bit restricting im not expecting amazing velocity out of the new chamber but enough for a bit
more grunt for those longer shots.
anyone with a .280 or 284 in...
thanks az shooter
the brass is also a problem i will have to deal with if i go with.284
but .280 and .280ai brass is in stock at my local store.
I am leaning towards the .284 win think the short case will be better in the 22" barrel
thanks for your reply's
i will be using high b.c projectiles so how do you think i will go for room in the mag with the .280 i know i will have plenty with the .284?
