    Swarovski or Zeiss spotting scope

    Not being a smart *** to you here. But the only scopes I hunt with or fool around with are Zeiss, Swaro and I've bought a few Kahles scopes. Warming up to S&B. What you're asking here is should I buy a Roll Royce Phantom with 2 seats or 4? Really you can't go wrong with Zeiss or Swarovski for...

    .280 for Moose..??

    In my strong humble opinion the 280 is the 3rd best calibur for north american big game in the lower 48 behind the 300 win and 30.06. In fact down south the .280 is the absolute perfect deer rifle. Thick woods or big bean fields or shooting across canyons out west the 280 is great round. It...

    Scope Magnification for LRH

    16x and 25x both work well IMO. I have scopes for both. I was talking to a well known sheep guide out west earlier this year. He told he doesn't take clients on sheep hunts if they bring any scope less than a 14x. Only 14x and above. People claim they can do this and do that with less, but...

    Zeiss HD5 vs Swarovski Z5

    Its a thread going now about if the HD is worth the money. I say yes!!!! I have 2 Swaro Z5s, I love both scopes, only wish the duplex recticle was a little heavier. I have them topped on a 270 wsm and 300 wsm. I was planning on getting a 5x25 HD for my 7mm mag. IMO you can't go wrong with...

    Zeiss Conquest HD5 worth the money???

    Is it worth the money? HECK YES!!!! I'm a HUGE Zeiss, Swaro and Kahles fan. I won't put anything atop any of my rifles if its not 1 of these 3 brands. The new Conquest HD should be considered a STEAL. I mean, someone at Zeiss has lost their minds. With the new Conquest HD you're getting...

    Budget setup

    Honestly man, you aren't going to find a "good scope" out to 1000 yards for 200 bucks. I'm not trying to sound like a know it all but if you're punching paper you can still keep looking around but if you're shooting at animals you owe it to them to find something better for ethical kills. I...

    Best Scope for $1000

    Chris you won't find a better long range scope for 1,000$ than the new Zeiss HD 5-25x50 scope. I'm a huge Zeiss, Swaro, and Kahles fan. I don't know how the heck Zeiss did it for the price, but this scope is on par with Swaro's 5x25s and they are 1,600 bucks. Zeiss will be phasing out the old...

    Semi Custom 325 wsm rifles?

    Any recommendations out there on who makes a great 325 wsm rifle? I'm not interested in Kimbers as their is to much drama about Kimber's accuracy. Not really interested in Brownings or Winchesters. I love Nosler's TGR except for the fact it doesn't have a floor plate. Too bad Sako doesn't offer...

    Bullet Selection?

    That is the gospel I live by. Shoot em high in the shoulder and they drop like a bag of bricks. I just shot a 270 plus pound whitetail in Wisconsin, he would have scored over 200 inches but broke 2 beams, he scored 183 3/8. I shot him high in the shoulder at 128 yards with Nosler BST 150 grain...

    30.378 vs 300RUM vs 325 WSM

    Hi guys this is pretty much my first topic thread here. Sorry if this question has been asked before. I've been hunting for roughly 24 years. Mostly in the south east, my biggest calibur rifle was the 30.06. About 5 years ago Ive been fortunate enough to have a thriving business and I've...

    Are there Turrets available for Zeiss Conquest scopes?

    They WON'T retrofit them at the factory. I've already tried. Kenton Industries is the way to go.

    Best Bino's

    Not trying to confuse you but you might want to hold your horses my friend. I have 3 Swarovski scopes. They are SPECTACULAR. But I'm still a Zeiss guy. Zeiss makes some AWESOME products. Swarovski is a crystal company, they know how to clarify glass & they make great products around glass...

    300wsm or 270wsm

    After reading all these posts, they are pretty much dead on. I can tell you I have 4 of these rifles, 2 300 wsms and 2 270 wsms. If all you're going to be hunting is Whitetails, forget the 300 and buy the 270 wsm for your dad. Both my 270 wsms are Sakos. One is a Sako A7 Tecomate, the other...
