    Leupold VX5 HD or Zeiss Conquest V4?

    I have both and they are nice. I personally prefer the VX5 by a hair over the V4. I like the simpler reticle (windplex) for hunting plus it's a bit more compact (turret height).

    Fitness equipment

    Here is my opinion: I'd get a decent power rack, barbell, weights, and a bench. Strength training should be the foundation to everything else.

    OCW results help

    I'd load up 76.8 and test seating depth. Looks like a pretty stable powder charge between 76.5 and 77. I'd start at -.020 off and work back in 0.005 increments.

    2023 New Hunting Rifle Options

    I don't own one but I'd look at an X bolt. If you want to spend a bit more or catch one on sale, Fierce makes a nice rifle. I'd go with some version of a 6.5 or 7mm depending on availability, reloading, and recoil tolerance.

    I like the Hatch as well. Not the lightest but it is the most versatile.
