    Scope / Turret running out of adjustment

    I should have clarified, the scope only has one rotation after you install the zero lock. The scope itself has 43 MOA of adjustment which is why I'm surprised I'm topping out. At 600yrds, I only need 13 MOA adjustment so I should have plenty from a mechanical zero.

    Scope / Turret running out of adjustment

    I did not lap the rings in. I didnt have a kit to do so and was hoping it would align well without it. Probably is a good next step to get one of the alignment tools to see if they align currently. I'll take a look at those two rail systems you mentioned.

    Scope / Turret running out of adjustment

    I dont unfortunately know where it bottomed out before. I was never concerned with it until it bottomed out. I believe it is in the same spot as it was before; however, there is the the possibility that it is slightly different. You make a great point about it possibly having a 20 MOA base on...

    Scope / Turret running out of adjustment

    I havent tried that. That is actually one of my next steps, to take it back to mechanical zero and see where its at. I wanted to finish deer season before changing too much again.

    Scope / Turret running out of adjustment

    Ok so this will probably be long winded but just trying to paint a full picture to see if anyone has any thoughts or advice for me. I have a Swarovski Z5 5-25x52 on a Tikka T3 lite in 30-06. I've used this scope on it for a few years. I have a custom turret which maxes out at 600yrds as the...

    New guy from NC

    Welcome! I'm in Fayetteville, NC and just did my first western hunting trip last year. Already planning a return trip next year. There is a lot of good information on this forum.

    Browning vs. Savage, Tikka

    Do you lose any functionality with the timney trigger? I vaguely remember something about you losing the three position safety or maybe it was the bolt release when on safe but either way I had read it loses something if you swap the trigger out.

    Calling 911---tell us your stories

    I've called the cops twice. First time I was driving back from hunting and pulled behind an SUV. It was all over the road, going really slow at times then speeding up and driving on and off the road. I called the cops and continued to follow at a distance until I saw a cop pull behind them...

    Rangefinding Binoculars

    I use the Swarovski El Range binos for rifle hunting. I love them and not having to switch from binos to my range finder. It just eliminates one additional step. One negative that might keep me from using them for archery is the minimum range is 33 yards. Not sure if this is the norm for...

    Prime Archery bows?

    I have a friend that's a dealer now. I haven't bought one myself yet however the fact that they will send you new strings every other year for life seems like a really nice benefit.

    Dick's Sporting Goods considers removing all hunting gear from stores

    Honestly Im sad to see the way things have gone with Dicks and Field and Stream. I'm in Fayetteville, NC and for 10+ years, Dicks Sporting Goods was the only place around to buy hunting supplies. It was a small store so every year after hunting season they would clearance all of their hunting...

    Switching to non-lead ammo / Hunt Talk Radio EP 087

    I just finished listening to Randy's Hunt Talk Radio EP 087: Non-lead Ammo & Hunting with Raptors (Hawking). I've been pondering switching to a non-lead bullet for some time especially when I find the occasional fragment in my meat which makes me worry about my boys more so than myself. I know...

    Flying to Hunt..Ship guns UPS or fly with them?

    I flew to CO with my rifle last year. It was simple and uneventful but here is some advice I got that I found helpful. 1) Read and follow both the airlines and TSA policies on firearms. Don't assume they are the same. 2) Print both policies and bring them with you. Some agents don't...

    Thanks, you made me question whether or not I bought my points. Looks like I did it back in July.

    Georgia hunters headed west?

    I'm from NC and flew out to CO last year for Mule Deer hunt. I had a friend that was in the area and picked me up in Denver and brought the meat back which made the logistics a lot easier on my end. Had it not been for him, I would have probably opted to drive to make the logistics easier. If...

    650 fps Slow Barrel??

    That seems like a pretty large difference for that lot. Did you contact Nosler by any chance? I've never used them but have always heard they make great ammo so just curious what their response was if so.

    What spotting scope?

    I picked up a new Vortex Razor vortex viper 20-60x85 (Older grey model) for $900 last year. Its amazing for the money. Its heavy but I had no problem carrying it around as its worth every ounce.

    Heated hunting clothing

    I got a camo heated vest from Cabelas (it was cabelas branded) as a Christmas present several years back. Most of my hunting is in the east out of a tree stand and that vest is a lifesaver on cold mornings. It still holds a charge and is working great years later. My only concern is I havent...
