  1. Has anyone viewed side by side in some low light conditions? I'm sure the swarovski are the sure bet but I wonder how close the Zeiss are $1500 for zeiss with tripod adaptor. Vs $2250 without tripod for swarovski I'm pretty close to having the funds for the zeiss and wonder if I should just keep squirreling money away for the swarovski or save the $700+ and go Zeiss
  2. Bought for my 10 year old to get comfortable shooting. Used at range. He is good with our 243 now and we just don't shoot this one. Perfect condition not one scratch great trigger smooth bolt and very tight groups One inch rings included Sling not Have some ammo to throw in for full price offer

    Anyone have an opinion on these optics? Quality? Clarity? Service? Thanks

    Swarovski 15x56 $1500

    I'm sure these are not the new hd but are the previous model with the black armor around the hinge or the model before that is all green armor and a bit different green color.

    WTB 3-9 scope for my new muzzle loader

    I have a nikon BDC 3x9x40. It's a savage package rifle take off. It's a nice scope. I just don't love the circle s on the BDC. I think it's worth $75. And maybe ten to ship
  9. My son had the jr kiabab hunt and as everyone knows G&F promotes solid copper ammo to save the condor So we took out box and shot at the range. Ammo grouped very well. Tikka t3 7mm-08. Plenty of gun for doe mike deer Opening morning we got on some does. My son rested on a log and took a 100 yrd shot. Fired and the doe didn't buck or jump it just sorted quivered. I thought he missed he was sure he hit it It trotted off and I watched on the glass. It didn't run as if wounded. We followed it for 40 yards until it went into some aspens. He was sure he hit it so we waited for 30 minutes and went to where we had last seen it. Sure enough it jumped and took off into thick aspens. We waited another 30 min and tracked until it was just a drop here and drop there. Found her 1/4 mile from shot. The early blood was dark pumping blood. The shot was near perfect. No it didn't hit the heart but it was just behind the shoulder maybe three inches back. And the bullet just passed right through like an arrow might. I'm convinced a lead bullet would have dropped this deer in far less time then solid copper. I was very disappointed in the performance. Last year we used a 243 and hornady sst and the doe went maybe 25 yrds on a very similar shot placement. When we checked in at the G&F station they asked questiones about the ammo we told then we didn't like it and the just smiled as if they hear that a lot Anyone have similar experience? Maybe it better for thick game like bear but I won't use it again
  10. I bought two boxes for a hunt on Kiabab. Not my favorite type of ammo $38 plus tax. I suppose $30 seems fair saves you$10 if you like this ammo Shoots accurate. I'm on the fence about performance I'm in phx

    Nice Tom on Cam

    Neighborhood cat. Need to find him 1/4 mile from a home
  12. Interesting point about turkey vulture I think G&F could add to their study the amount of list game using solid copper.

    CZ 20 gauge Woddcock Deluxe over/under

    Oh and I should read. See 5 chokes. I really want a 26 inch. There is a Mossberg silver reserve I've been thinking about but if this was 26 I may be interested

  19. So i have a Cuddeback and the sd card wont read in my home Cannon D40 camera. I don't want to spend $100 on a Cuddeback viewer and I saw on the Apple store the have a little sd card reader that plugs in to the I phone and you can download pics from the SD card I just didn't now if it would read the Cuddeback format? Anyone use this? only $29 bucks would be an easy way to view in the field Thanks

    Minox 15x58 ED w/ Aluminum Case - SOLD

    In case anyone isn't familiar with these. They are first rate. No offense to the new models but these are much better glass in my opinion. I have them in 10x50 and they are very clear and bright. Good to edges
