I compared them with the Swaro EL and the Zeiss conquest. The Swaro’s were in 10 power I believe. Zeiss wasn’t nearly as good and the Swaro was better but they had the weird rolling ball effect on my eyes. Then I spent a week in Idaho bear hunting and we compared the Leica’s against my buddies...
I used 180’s in a 300 WSM and loved them. Multiple pass through a from 50-450 on elk at multiple angles. If they were still available I would still be using them. I know they used to have separate load data because the jacket and core was different than their cup and cores and were prone to...
I’m a big fan of wipe-out with accelerator. That said, I’ve had a couple rifles that I could mine the copper out of the barrel, and I used wipe-out followed by Sweets 7.62 until it was clean. On one, a .300 Weatherby, I had to use JB Bore paste to get it all out. Once the copper was removed it...
I feel that the Leupold will fit your needs. I know that I ran a vortex, granted it was the diamondback, on my 300 WSM for awhile and was not a fan. Scoped myself twice in as many shots shooting at cows down in a canyon. I’ve looked through other vortex scopes and find the eye relief is too...
I’m set on 15’s since I already have a pair of 12’s. Just looking for something I can pick apart some country as well as use for glassing canyons for horn hunting. I’ve used my buddies swaro 15’s and they are about perfect for what I use em for. Just curious about the differences in glass...
Good morning all,
I posted this yesterday under the wrong thread. Anyway, I was curious if anyone has any experience with the Leica Geovid 15x56’s? I am currently looking at getting a pair of 15’s and am stuck between those and the Zeiss Conquest HD’s. I am currently leaning towards the Leica...
Good morning all,
I am on the fence. I am looking at getting a pair of 15x56, and I’ve narrowed it down to either the Zeiss Conquest HD’s or the Leica Geovid. I have not read much on the Leica’s in the big 15’s and they do not have the HD glass. I’m leaning towards the Leica’s but am just...
If your happy with those groups, I’d leave it. It’s not hard to do, but that’s shooting good. I bedded a Remington 7 Predator this summer that was shooting occasional sub MOA groups but mostly 1.5-2 And it helped a bunch, brought my groups down to around 3/4” at a hundred. But if it’s already...
I used a Savage Stevens 200 in .223 for the last 8 or so years, it was pretty accurate and lightweight. Also only paid 200 bucks for it. I recently upgraded to a Remington model Seven Predator in 22-250. I like bolt action rifles better for coyotes, just due to personal preference and its much...
I use a ruffwear pack for my Airedale. Put a couple water bottles and food in the panniers, used it yesterday and she was crawling over/through a pile of downed trees and held up very well

Thank you for the info! I will definitely be contacting Barnes and seeing, I would use them for sure if I could use some samples and to see if they even work before coughing up the cash for a box of them. Thank you and I will keep you posted!

I get great results with the 180 AB. Shot two elk, one at just under 400 and a spike at maybe 50-60 yards. The close one had a fair amount of bloodshot meat, but he was quartering away and I hit right in front of his hip and exited right behind the shoulder. The whitetail I hit was perfect...
