Tune in as we talk optics for North America’s most popular big game animal.

    Up until a couple years ago I’d never even heard about Vortex. I bought a rifle used and it had a vortex scope, missing the elevation cap. I e-mailed y’all, trying to order a replacement cap that I was willing to purchase. Vortex sent me replacement caps and a hat for free, I didn’t purchase the scope but because the way I was treated, I’ve bought 3 vortex optics since then.

  • @joehuff4025

    I still get great use of my Strike Eagle 1-6. I’m a poor working man so I have to get best bang for my buck. I love the BDC options, set it and forget it. The strike eagle 2 , 1-6 works great for .223 and 308. Man I still got a Crossfire 2, 3-9/ 40 on a 308 of mine and it’s never given me a reason to change it. A hunting rifle in 308 zeroed at 200 does everything I need. Everyone does things differently.

    The AK 7.62 x 39 is simple with a small number of big parts. No detents or tiny springs to go flying into oblivion. A cold weather recommendation is to use it with no lube whatsoever. I prefer ARs, but If I had to go to a remote location (warm or cold) for years without resupply, I’d pick an AK over an AR for its simplicity, proven reliability, and 30-cal stopping power.

    I have an MRAD Razor LHT 3-15X50. I find choosing the perfect scope seems tougher than the perfect rifle. By that, I mean after hours of cartridge and rifle selection, figuring out which scope can be frustrating! In the past, I have chosen flat shooting cartridges, like the 300 RUM, and go with 300-yard Bull. Then knowing approximate holds at 400 and 500. I've decided to give smaller cartridges a whirl, and figure dial up if needed, might be a good idea? I purchased a Weatherby 307 Range in 7 PRC and a Savage Klym in 6.5 Prc. I want to be able to hunt deer, bear, elk, come what may, from black timber to big cuts. If I mount the MRAD LHT on the 7 PRC, which should I get/mount on the 6.5 PRC? The same 3-15X50 LHT, or the MOA 3-15X42 version? Would I be better served keeping both MIL, which, by the way, am liking MIL very much. On the other hand, the smaller objective scope might fit the lighter Savage Klym better? As a Newbie to dialing, I wonder if the 2 different systems might cause confusion in the field? Anyone?

    A couple questions for you. Please and thank you. Running a 22" Howa in 6.5 grendel. Looking for a white tail/hog optic for 200 yards and in. Capable of 300 yards under perfect conditions. I know my limit and skill set as a new hunter. Also, what would be my hunting adventure setup for this in a Midwest hunt, or Texas hunt? Again, thanks and love the information I get from your channel. Got the idea of 6.5 grendel from you guys. Great AR15 cartridge as well as bolt action hunter. 2 birds scenario. Note, i need an affordable scope as well for above rifle. Son went with a Ruger American in 308 because he watched your 308 all around caliber video. I need to get him an optic as well. 🤯

  • @markofmckinney941
    @markofmckinney941 Před dnem

    I'm not a hunter, but I enjoy your hunter-related content. It sounds like some if not all calibers may have a more optimal hunting round for shorter (inside 100 yards) versus longer distances. Is there a case or is it customary to have two different rounds in the magazine? The first round would be better suited for short distances for a scenario where you may walk up on something close and the second round for animals spotted further away where you may have a chance/need to get in a better shooting position and can cycle the bolt in the process? I hope this may be an interesting concept for a video... I know I'd be interested in hearing this, including the less optimal aspects of certain rounds that would make this approach more valued. Thanks for considering...

    You stated that the 8x57 Mauser shares the same rim and bolt face as the 30-06. While is is a fact, the chronology is that the 30-06 is the one doing the sharing because the 8mm Mauser predates the 30-06 by about a decade.

    I find Technologies very interesting. If they can save the lives of our military service people, wonderful. My stepfather fought in the trenches in France in the first world war. He told me about hearing the enemy's (German, I assume) bullets going past his ears. I can't even imagine how frightening that would be. I'm Canadian and have not served in the military. However, if technology can save our military personnel's lives, then I'm in full support. Ukrainian forces have shown that drone technologies are extremely effective in today's wars and have helped them keep the Russian invaders at bay for 2 plus years. We all need work to make war "more winnable" without all the civilian casualties - injuries, wounds and deaths.

I’ve taken several white tail bucks with it, and one moose. That illuminated BDC reticle is FANTASTIC for those dusk hunts when a black bodied moose is moving across a dark tree line on the other side of a bog!
