    How about the 260 Rem AI. Some of the tactical shooters seem to like this caliber.

    Who makes a good window mount for a spotter?

    Thanks, a friend has one of these and it too seems pretty well made. I might have to do some searching at sportsman's warehouse this weekend.

    Who makes a good window mount for a spotter?

    I already wasted a few bucks on one made by Vanguard. I am looking for something quality that pans smoothly and locks where you put it. Thanks

    what is a good spotting scope for elk hunting

    My wife settled it and bought me a Swarovski sts-65 with the 20-60 eyepiece. I am not going to complain. The image is really sharp. great ergonomics as well.

    what is a good spotting scope for elk hunting

    I have a pair of Leupold Mojove 10x42 and a pair of swarovski pocket 8x20's. The reason I have the leupold mojaves is that the image looked the best with my glasses on. With the Swarovski 10x42's I could not see the edges. I also looked at Pentax 10x42 DCF SP's, but liked the open bridge...

    what is a good spotting scope for elk hunting

    I know what you are saying is true. At a distance with 10/42 binocs I could see elk butts and only knew what they were because they were moving, but some people with a good spotter could see the tines of some rag horns with the standing elk that were laying amongst the junipers. It amazed me.

    I like the looks of the US optics spotter, how is the optical quality? How is the eye relief? I wear glasses and do not like to take them off. Thanks for the input!

    varmint rifle

    I started with a 308 10FP and found 308 is just too much bullet and $$$, so I got a take-0ff SS fluted 22-250 barrel, a sharp shooter supply recoil lug, a barrel wrench and a go gage, and now have both a spring summer and a fall winter rifle with the same glass, feel, trigger, etc. It is a good...

    .257 weatherby to 7mm STW

    257 hands down Hi, I live in the Dodson MT area and have done quite a bit of research on these two calibers. From what I gather the 7mm is very finicky, otherwise a pain in the butt to get to shoot well. I plan on getting a long action savage and putting a 27" 257 wby Pac-Nor varmint contour...

    Shot placement with SMK and Berger

    I switched this year to 165 Hornady SST I shot a bunch of muleys with 168MK's and last year had one turn 90 degrees inside the animal. It still died promptly, but reduces my confidence on angling shots. I am hoping the SST's are more predictable.
