    25 Caliber Cartridge with cartridge head stamped brass?

    I have 2 6.5 PRCs, but want to turn one of them into a 25 PRC, so it seems I'll either have to keep bringing the 6.5 PRC to Mexico (which has worked great) or go the 25 Creedmoor route, because I am not interested in a 25 SST or any of the other headstamped options, or just keep waiting for 25...

    25 Caliber Cartridge with cartridge head stamped brass?

    Yes, they check ammo headstamp against barrel engraving against the Rifle Permit information, which includes make, model, cartridge and serial number on the rifle. I don't know what they would do if there was no caliber engraving on the rifle barrel. I do know that our outfitter had to pay a...

    25 Caliber Cartridge with cartridge head stamped brass?

    First, I am aware that head stamped 25 CM and 25 SST brass can be obtained. My problem is that I would prefer to build a 25 PRC or 25-284 and that I need cartridge head stamped brass so I can take the rifle into and hunt in Mexico. Does anyone know if there are plans from Hornady to create a...

    Best-tracking riflescope on the market under $2000?

    Equally important to tracking, to me, is retaining zero. The Rifle Scope Field Evaluations posted above will steer you in the right direction. Cheat sheet--look at Night Force, SWFA, Trijicon, the new Maven scope, some Schmidt and Benders, and some Meoptas.

    Razor HD 3-15x42

    The problem with the Vortex scopes is tracking, returning to zero and maintaining zero. For $1,899, you can buy an SFP Nightforce or SFP Trijicon Credo that will have none of those problems. You could almost buy one of each for $1,899. You will definitely find people who will report good...

    Best Socks for Sweaty Feet

    I know they look unconventional, but don't knock them until you've tried them. Warm and dry in cold weather, but not a good choice for warm weather: https://www.wiggys.com/footwear/13-lamilite-socks/ Alpaca socks are very good too.

    I think that award goes to the politicians and rich folks private jetting into their Save the Earth from Climate Change Conferences.

    Hunting with Non-Illuminated FFP

    Very few of the SWFA scopes are illuminated, and roksliders use them a lot. Most of my ffp scopes are not illluminated, and I've never had it be a problem.

    Best cold weather glove.

    The Kinco mittens are solid when coated with snow seal and even better when you wear a merino liner in them. No opinion on the original ones you mentioned as I've never needed anything more than the Kincos...

    Suppressor wait times

    When I was filling out my paperwork on Friday with the FFL, we both agreed that it should be easier to buy a suppressor, and thereby protect one's hearing, than it is to buy a gun. Not saying that guns should be harder to purchase, but suppressors shouldn't be so hard.

    Suppressor wait times

    I am a bit flabbergasted and feel like it's some kind of a setup, but I submitted my electronic paperwork on Friday, February 16th and received approval to pick up my can today, Wednesday, February 21st. Monday was a holiday of course, so it took 2 whole business days. My FFL asked if I know...

    Swarovski z5 3.5-18x44 vs Meopta Meostar R1r 3-12x56

    I haven't used or seen a test on that one, and scopes at that price point that don't have exposed turrets are not likely to be tested.

    Swarovski z5 3.5-18x44 vs Meopta Meostar R1r 3-12x56

    The Meopta Optika6 3-18x50 actually did quite well in a Rokslide/Form test: https://rokslide.com/forums/threads/meopta-optika6-3-18x50mm-ffp-field-evaluation.145959/ The Swaros do not have a good reputation for holding zero, tracking etc.

    Swarovski z5 3.5-18x44 vs Meopta Meostar R1r 3-12x56

    If you intend to have the scope hold zero, adjust correctly, and dial for long range, I wouldn't get either one. I'd look at this Maven: https://mavenbuilt.com/collections/stock-optics/products/rs1-2-2-5-15x44-ffp A Trijicon Tenmile or Credo; or a Nightforce.

    How rare is a 200 inch mule deer

    This will give you a small glimpse of the deer's mass, but pics don't do the mass justice. Gross score was 211 or 213, as I recall. Brother never had it B&C scored, because he doesn't care. Don't have any other pics that don't give too much away.
