    Long Range Hunting - the Evolution

    In this thread let’s look at PRS (Precision RIFLE Shooting) vs a new vision of competition that would more closely follow the limitations/rules/laws we now further understand a fifth of the way into this century, and have probably defined better here (in a roundabout way) on this next level...

    WTS Trijicon Accupoint 3-9x40 Green Duplex

    In Canada (Calgary, Alberta), would look for $700 CAD plus shipping. Perfect glass, no ring marks, mounted in lapped Talleys, overall ~99%+. Love these, just grabbed a mil-dot of the exact same scope to play with. Kenton makes turrets for these so you can do dial up fyi. And vortex 40mm...

    21st century rifle - what does this mean to you?

    What does 21st century rifle look like to you? To me it looks like this; 1. Adjustable LOP (fit everyone instantly, no tools) 2. Take down or folding butt stock (fit in packs) 3. Modern cartridge/ballistics (less powder more performance, everyone can shoot it well) 4. Detach 10 round mags 5...

    New 10x42 Leica Geovid 2700 HD-R Landed

    Have only unboxed, put the battery in, and adjusted diopters at 475 yards to house shingles down the block and switched to imperial units, quick test of the true horizontal range up a tree and quickly compared to my long time existing love affair of my 10x32 Leica Ultravid Hd's and Leica...

    Next Gen Terminal Ballistics Discussion

    I didn’t want to hijack the .223 thread any further with where I’d like to go with the key minds on modern terminal ballistics here at Rokslide. Pretty sure we can all agree on a couple things to kick this party off. The in-flight ballistics we’ve got down pat, all the right numbers, measures...

    Kowa 602 vs Nikon ED50, had them together for a couple hours today.

    Caveat, i'm no optics expert, I know how to use them and find stuff to kill so take this hunter perspective for what it is! I have plenty of pictures of the spotters/what I looked at etc. and when I load them i'll get them here but all I got time for right now is copy/paste what I emailed a few...

    Spotting scope wishes...if u could have one made perfect for you?

    For fun, what would your perfect spotter spec like? Mine would be a nikon ed60 with 55x top end and no more than 30oz including eyepiece. If kowa made it even better. I suppose closest thing out there is a nikon ed50 with 13-40x at 22oz or a discontinued kowa 604 which I'd have to check weight...

They had a 6m larger fov than the 42mm go figure, plus being around 20oz r just ducky round the neck, never wishing for a bino harness, never wishing for more mag or fov, or image quality, years later I still smile...

    All P&Y, diy, but not really 'high country' mulies, they are river drainage muley's right in my backyard in the Calgary Bowzone. I do put a fair bit of time into scouting/watching/hunting them and have been fortunate with access where good deer live as that is a key and i've got them pretty...
