    4-12x40 or 3-9x40?

    I have a crossfire on my 22lr. I have vipers on my hunting guns. Go with the viper 4-12x40 or the 6.5-20x44 or 6.5-20x50. You will be glad you did. Do not buy the crossfire 1. Vortex redid the crossfire and the crossfire 2 is much better. In fact, I like it better than the current diamondback. If you get a crossfire or diamondback, get one with the AO. You will have focusing issues at certain yardages on certain powers if you do not get the AO. The AO allows you to adjust for that and also adjust the parallax. The vipers have a side focus/parallax knob and the focus is much better on these scopes. I love the crossfire, but I wouldn't put it on anything bigger than a 17hmr. Its a great scope for the bottom of the line, but I would suggest to save up and buy the viper for a hunting gun, it's worth it. Run down to Sportsmans and look through a few. look here: http://www.cameralandny.com/optics/vortex.pl?page=vortexviper4-12x40

    Unit 23 Giant

    Sounds like fish stories to me. Thats the tough thing about public land, we all gotta share it. It's always the second and third hand stories we hear.

    archery mule deer 5x4 28 inches wide unit 21

    I know what the thread title says. What I'm saying is that it is unlikely he is lying about the unit since the unit is written on the tag.

    Skull Hooker

    Well, I just spent two hours messing around with these things and I can't seem to get them to work. Since the beams are long on my bull I have to tip the nose down and when I do that, the bracket keeps slipping off of the skull. The three prong does not fit to the skull very well. I can't have that kind of instability holding two bulls above where my kids play every day. I don't think these are going to work. Has anyone mounted elk with these? I like this new plaque a lot, but the price is too high imo. Check it out: http://www.skullplax.com/products-2/elk-plaques/ http://www.skullplax.com/gallery/

    Skull Hooker

    I have 2 bulls I want to get up on the wall. What kind of holes does the skull hooker make in the wall? What bolt/screw do you use and does it go in a stud?

    vortex service

    I had a vortex viper scope that the parallax adjustment knob kept sticking. I shipped it back and they sent me a vortex viper HS back. 2 years later, I now own 3 vortex scopes. They are great scopes for the money. The customer service is second to none, I agree.
