SFP and MOA? Ew. I see a Leupold in your future. 😂

A RS5 failed

To my knowledge the RS1.2 is the only one to pass the drop test.

Way too much magnification. It doesn’t help you like you think it does. I would look for something in the Trijicon Credo line. Very reliable scopes (THE most important consideration), mil, FFP/SFP options, capped/exposed turret options, good minimum magnification numbers; 1-4,6,8,10x 2-10x...

When you’re hunting with a rifle braked to calm too much recoil, do you hunt with earpro on? hope you have time to put earpro on? raw dog your ear drums?

You’re not far at all from a used or demo Nightforce SHV. What ever Trijicon has the features you want at the price you like. 3-15 SWFA are in stock, under budget. Right around the $1k mark gets you out of all the Chinese and Philippine scopes, and into the Light Optics Works line of OEM...

This is 6.5 creed wheelhouse.

It takes a relatively long time for an animal expire from a rifle shot to the vitals. Upwards of 30 seconds. That’s a long time to be attacked by a bear. And every pistol is doing less damage than a rifle. CNS shot is instant off button. At least if it’s charging, it’s coming at you head first! 😂

Why is that? Any ammo that passes the FB barrier test passes through; 2 sheets of 20ga steel and 12-18” of penetration in ballistic gel. 3/4” plywood and 12-18" of penetration in ballistic gel. 1/4 automotive glass at a 45° angle and 12-18” of penetration in ballistic gel. Seems like...

Why do you say not for bear? Did you check out the podcast I linked above? Might change your mind. Bear skulls aren’t impenetrable.

Some very interesting thoughts on ballistics, CNS hits, and how well people shoot handguns.

Edit: missed the above post, with same podcast link 🤦🏻‍♂️ Have a listen to this. By the numbers how much SD affects grouping at distance. TLDR; missing a wind call by as little as 2mph will have more effect than chasing single digit SD.

It’s sad that you have to say this, and have to use age is a justifier. Beautiful rifle! I’m sure she’ll love it, and the time you spend shooting/hunting with her, even more so!

No that we’ve discussed seating depth not being so important, SD doesn’t matter much either! https://shoot2hunt.com/ff-ep-7-mv-sd-for-lr-hunting/ Whe he starts stalking about the WEZ calculations, and 1st round hit percentages, that’s were I think these discussions about seating depth...

Just got mine today. My old Caldwell was not convenient to set up, and is pretty much worthless now.
