I agree but I think their point is that if you can zoom in to say 10x - 12x+, and still have a large enough objective to provide adequate exit pupil, you can squeeze a little more time out of the scope. Makes sense to me, as I usually hunt with my scope on 3-4x but I find it advantageous in low...

They say they aren't big enough to fix yet.

I think 5mm is correct roughly for older people like myself but the younguns can dialate as much as 7mm I read. I know I can tell a lot of difference now at 51 as opposed to 5 years ago. But I have cataracts growing which robs light I think. Having hunting with my new VX5-HD all season, it’s...

I'm liking mine more and more with each hunt. I sat in a stand in the woods probably 45 minutes past sunset one night last week due to deer being all around me. It was a cloudy afternoon with no visible sun or moon. I couldn't have made out antler details but could have still made a shot pretty...

Yep, Quadrajet. Haha

I have one that was bought new in the ‘91 in 289 REM. I’ve killed a pile deer and critters with it at reasonably short range. But it’s a 3-4” gun at best.

So what's the final verdict, Zenith greater than the Z3 for low light?

What angle do you use on your worksharp for the Victorinox?

Yep, just makes dealing with the ammo that much easier.

That very well may be but I've read several posts like these from Despotes that suggests his Z3 is comparable to a Magnus, V6, and others. https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/zeiss-diavari-fl-t.316598/#post-2670995...

I think where you are hunting and the conditions are going to be big factor. I hunt mostly in the timber and we can legally hunt 30 minutes after sunset. Sunset was at 4:53 this afternoon and I was still in my stand. I had an 8 point about 60 yards away in the crosshairs of my VX5-HD 3-15x44 at...

No, think absolute difference.

That's the Partition but yeah, they have it in stock at the moment. To the OP, here is the exact ammo you're looking for on Gunbroker. Likely sell for more than it's listed at the moment though. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/955913352 Hendershots may also be able to load the Berger for you...

This is what has worked best for me with my X-Bolt 280 AI. It's a sub-MOA rifle off the bench with me behind it if I hold forearm down. Let it free recoil and the groups double at minimum with lots of muzzle rise.

Just to clarify, the Nosler Accubond I was referring to above is their Trophy Grade ammo, not components. They are proud of it though. https://www.nosler.com/280-ackley-improved-160gr-accubond-trophy-grade-ammunition.html
