Tunneling is usually caused by manufacturers trying to get more zoom range than the erector can support. A bunch of Schmidts do this as well. Essentially towards the lower end of the mag range you stop getting a change in FOV and while the image gets smaller (appears to be zooming out). Its...

Are you already issued this gear? If not you are going to be paying double the cost of the same gear that isnt Leaf. Unless you really need the loop patch for unit patches you can likely save half your money but getting the same items in regular Arcteryx gear in earth tones. I have both the...

What you are describing is a term called track out. The better quality the scope the less likely it is to have track out. In todays day and age track out is less and less of an issue even with less expensive imported optics.

Were you two using a Kestrel or Garmin paired to the system? With out one of those with applied ballistics elite the system will only give a ballistic solution out to 800 yards.

Never hurts to have options. BDC reticles are good of course aiming at realatively close distances (600 yards or so). They really fall apart after those distances unless you are really lucky with ballistics and conditions. A lot of times further distances are included because accuracy isnt...

Make sure you’re adjusting diopter properly. Doug is correct though. The more expensive the bino the better the channel alignment will be (dip, divergence and convergence). Porros have better optical quality but the trade off is they are less compact.

i fly with a kestrel in my carry on almost every time I fly. It’s not a problem at all. Here or overseas. Pretty much as long as it’s not any part of a gun or knife you are good to go.

Am I the only person offput by the name? Full disclosure I realize this is a stupid reason to not purchase a stock.

This is why ballistic calculators typically want your line of sight distance and your inclination. The bullet is effected by wind (winage hold) over your line of sight distance but it is effected by gravity (elevation hold) by your “shoot to distance” (Leupold’s Tbr, Sig’s AMR, etc). If you’re...

I would shoot to your comfort level. From the sounds of your post, 600 meters is outside of that. Maybe try to get to your hunting area a day early and get some longer range practice in. From that practice you should have a good idea of your comfort zone. Trust your gut though. If it feels...

Who makes the stock on the 338? Free bump.

Funny thing I heard about Steripens... They dont actually kill the bacteria. They sterilize it so it doesnt reproduce in your gut. Same effect just found it interesting. I have used one for going on 8 years and havent had an issue. I do pack tablets with me as a back up (Ive forgotten to...

Thats a crazy good fake. Its funny that they go into such minor details to make it look authentic then screw up the reticle. With the location of the sales I would have been more worried about the product being stolen then fake to be honest.

@Roughwater I have heard in the past that nosler also has thicker necks on their 28N brass that can cause pressure spikes which in turn cause the ejector marks you’ve seen. Maybe that would be something to look at.

Yah and the rubber strap when using a can, which was the most secure. Messed around a bit with the threaded tightener deal on the strap clamp as well. Both the ms and Labradar units that I use are work owned so I don’t really have any skin in the game. The labradar has a horrible ui. I hear the...
