    Red Dot Recommendations for Muzzy?

    Looking at Leopold's site, it doesn't seem to have a holdover, it has a dial. Any recommendations for red dots with hold overs in the retical? That has one of those mounts that looks like it's on stilts, I am looking for something that mounts down low. Do you have any other recomondations?

    Red Dot Recommendations for Muzzy?

    Looking to put a red dot on my muzzloader Thinking of an enclosed unit with a 1 or 2 MOA dot size. Already have a pic rail in my muzzy, so mounting is easy, Was looking at the Leupold Freedom RDS, but was thinking of trying to get a reticle with a hold over or two for shooting past 100 yards...

    FFP scope reticle thickness issues

    Yeah, I don't really care how thin they are at low power, if the deer is that close it will just be point and shoot. This is an issue at high power where I use the drops. I was hoping this reticle would be useable 12x and higher, since I will almost never need 25x for hunting. I am WFH today...

    FFP scope reticle thickness issues

    How thick is the retical on that scope in MOA or MIL's? I did adjust the diopter in that way, but I am going to redo it based on what you and others have said. To clarify, I can see the reticle just fine against blue sky or other light backgrounds, it's the darker backgrounds that totally...

    FFP scope reticle thickness issues

    Good clarification, I mean at max magnification, so 25X. I can see the retical if I look at blue sky, but against the backdrop of a target it just disappears. To use my hold overs I have been moving the rifle to the side of the target to figure out my drop, then try to keep it level as I move...

    FFP scope reticle thickness issues

    I have a heavy barreled rifle range toy that will see some hunting use, and after having a 4-20 Meopta in SFP on it, I decided to try a first focal plane scope, Vortex Strike Eagle 5-25. The cross hairs are so thin on my Vortex that at 200 yards and beyond I can’t see them, the target washes...

    Doesn't sound like their product is limited rotation anyways, fixed at multiple angles.

    Limited rotation QD base options?

    I just called Noveske, their "limited rotation" option is actually a fixed 4 position. Anyone else making an actual limited rotation QD cup for hollow stocks?

    Limited rotation QD base options?

    The GrovTech link you shared only has limited rotation for the threaded cup, their hollow stock option there only a 360 deg unit. The impact weapons unit is interesting, it claims to be an 8 position limited rotation. Does that mean each position has a 45 deg of rotation?

    Limited rotation QD base options?

    Looking for some limited rotation QD bases for hollow plastic stock, to my surprise I am just finding GrovTech GTHM198 which is full rotation. I am not real particular on the exact amount of rotation, somewhere in the 45 deg -180 deg range should be fine. Any other suppliers that make...

    Muzzleloader in the Backcountry?

    For my spot and stalk hunting trips, I have started not loading my muzzy until I am ready to stalk in to something. It's so rare I bump a deer, bear, or elk I would want to take traveling too and from glassing knobs.

    Montana point creep expectation

    I too have been working on estimating what it will be in 2024 and beyond. I suspect the total number of applicants to stay the same (2022 and 2023 were basically the same), but a continued decrease in single point applications, which will of course trickle into the 2 and 3 point groups.

    Crispi Wild Rock GTX Plus Liner Thickness?

    I kept them and hunted mule deer in eastern MT in late November last year. temps ranged from about 8 deg F to just above freezing. I made due by putting chemical heaters in the toe, but they are not very warm. Butt dyno says they are at best equivalent to 400 gram boots. I just bought a pair...

    In a world without lead, how would you optimize a rifle for monolithic ammunition?

    Something I should point out, is they already can make copper bullets expand at lower velocity's. The copper bullets (federal Bore Lok) I use in my muzzy have cuts to facilitate this. They open beautifully, I have recovered at least 5 bullets from animals ranging 75 yards to 10 ft with a...
