I’m contemplating another build right now and leaning towards a Seeking Havak PH2 paired with a Zeiss Conquest 3-12x44. I have the 4-16X44 on my 300WM and I’m pretty sold on getting another.
@Antares - my juices are defenitely flowing!
My fiance will be taking the opportunity for the buck, I'll be doing some meat hunting. Hopefully she can connect on a nice one!
Great recomendation! I just created an account here, and even with my SKB dimensions the shipping dropped to ~$122. If I can get this rate on return, I think this pretty much solves my problems! Thanks!!
Ya, that was my thought. I've never had trouble flying with firearms/bows, just thought the baggage fees and inconvenience of tugging my case for 3 legs might add up. I just estimated a quote online, and was a bit surprised at the cost ($530??!). Might swing by Fedex today and ask in person
Will be having my honeymoon in Hawaii next month and we have an Axis Deer hunt on Lanai booked. We are doing Lanai and Maui and I don’t really want to have pay bag fees for my compound bow on the inter-island flight and carry it around for the rest of our stay, so I was contemplating shipping...
The Maven RS1 2.5-15X44 is a touch heavier ~24oz I believe.
I have the Viper HSLR 4-16X44 one my 300WSM and its a solid scope, but the tight eye box drives me crazy. Always takes an extra second to get behind especially in the field with awkward shooting positions.
I love my 9X45 B2s. I feel like I pick out game better with my B2s than my spotter. Focuses quick and great in the trees as well
Only complaint is the eye cups don’t stay put when I put them back in the harness
I’m currently between the V6 3-18X, Maven RS1 and the NF NX8 2.5-20X to go on my .300WM.
haven’t been able to look through any of them yet, but I like my Maven B2s, and it’s sounding like the glass between the V6 and RS1 may be comparable. no doubt the NX8 probably has the quality and clarity...
I have the Hells Canyon Speed in 300 WSM. Really like the rifle. <8lbs with a 4-16X44 Viper HSLR. I have a .300 WM build in progress, so the Hells Canyon might be back on the classifieds again. I'm in CA and was having issues developing a copper load for it, but finally found it some factory...
Has this been worked out? Was considering the Z5 on a current build mainly becauuse how light this optic is, but seeing a lot of issues in my searching
You should check out Alamo Precision's Altitude build? I have one on order and it's basically this package exactly with the AG Composites stock instead of the Clymr and their in house bottom metal. Sounds like a sweet build!
Hunter and Jason helped me out.
I saw you registered the action first and then shipped to Alamo. I asked about this option since it seems like most of the LT comes from waiting on the barrel from Proof. Sounds like they'd rather send the complete build to my FFL instead. Selfishly, I want to...
I just kicked off my build today! Cant wait.
Those guys have been great to work with. They actually talked me down from the Apex saying the Altitude is a better value.
Hope your putting rounds down range soon! Update us with some pics when it comes in!
How’s the progress and LT looking? I’m looking to kick off an Altitude build now.
I’m tempted to go 280AI, but 300WM is calling. Going to replace my 300WSM for out of state
I put a judicious holster on my packs hip belt, but I’m curious how your rigging a holster to your bino harness. I like to leave my pack to explore sometime, and this would travel better
