    Watched YouTube video of ffp vortex viper gen ii reticle and can’t really see it it?

    Vortex Optics Razor HD LHT 3-15x50 Second Focal Plane - G4i BDC Reticle (MRAD) - this would be my answer in Vortex. Not the power range of the subject but great reticle for hunting - and I'm comfortable with it at least for 1000 yard ++range hits so far.

    Thoughts on rifle weight and hunting

    My go to is a 6.25 lb Remington Titanium in 7mm, topped with Talley rings w 20 built in and a 20 oz scope. Add ammo and a sling and its light yes, but thats the gun i go to when i want to travel and get the job done. Would i take a windy shot at 1200, no, I'd stalk closer or pass. Given its the...

    Lead poisoning from eating game shot with lead core bullets?

    Copper rifle and shotgun ammo is all but outlawed in California - because of a doctored up condor study and politics more than science. Waterfowl maybe... but that's another story. I've been forced to switch to lead arrows. Taking shorter shots but they hit with force! ;)

    Too late to start?

    You only live once far as we know. I've got a like minded wife in may ways... but set the agreement 35 years ago so there has never been a problem. Now at your age with debilitating back problems, I highly recommend you get started while you can. I still am able to fool myself that im 25, pack...

    High-end scope for ultralight hunting rifle?

    Think the M would be perfect sans price but will have to see an H. Reading about it - and knowing what can happen in the field the idea of pop-ups are growing on me. Added to the top of the list if I sell some of my other optics to make budget for sure. Maybe an open box deal will show or...

    High-end scope for ultralight hunting rifle?

    I had a 308 Titanium 700ti i built for my dad. Kick was sharp but tolerable but definitely worse than my 7rm. And an .06 that is a 1/4 lb heavier and with the vx3 4x14 kicks but because of the stock i guess its like any other 06 even though sub 6 lb rifle; i think 5.7lbs bare bones. My 7mm in...

    High-end scope for ultralight hunting rifle?

    Yea, just looked it up. They are more than my top end budget but seem to fit the bill perfectly. Is there a difference between the M and the H? Tangent Theta TT315H Long Range Hunter?

    High-end scope for ultralight hunting rifle?

    And this market has been asking for exactly that for a long time. March has probably come the closest. Mil (for me);with enough elevation travel so it doesn't stress the internals, absolute repeatability and zero return, 30 if they can get enough travel in it, 50-52mm objective if they can still...

    High-end scope for ultralight hunting rifle?

    Thanks again everyone for all the thoughts. Good things to think a about and consider. Thinking more intently on the highest end for this rifle if the money i have will capture it. I'll upgrade my other rifles with more of the mid grade as i can afford. I'll post a pic when all set up. T

    High-end scope for ultralight hunting rifle?

    Agreed. I continue to carry a spotting scope now to evaluate animals at range. I guess if i chose the clearest scope.. then if i forgot my spot i could use the scope in a pinch... or leave the spot behind all together. I use my Leica binos to spot anyway and only the spot scope to make sure the...

    High-end scope for ultralight hunting rifle?

    I get it respectfully. And always move closer when i can. I leave the ethics calls up to individual capability and self control. Killed animals from 300 out to 780 but only in the conditions that presented itself where stalking closer was not an option and i was confident in the one shot. With...

    High-end scope for ultralight hunting rifle?

    Hear great things in the superglass and tracking category about the Tangent... not sure my truck sale will foot the bill there. I dont need big magnification so their 3-15~ would work. Hear the same about Zcomp. Biggest issue with this decision is buying an optic sight unseen. Once the...

    High-end scope for ultralight hunting rifle?

    The schott glass is the only good EU I've used. IOR and Zeiss. Have to read up on Tangent, Zcomp, Swaro, Minox, etc. They may all use that glass? March is Japanese but I'm told its a cut a above or equal to the top Japanese glass.

    I once tried to look at a March scope as i heard what you stated but had to go to Washington state to see it... i hear good things about the too in 52mm objective and larger...
