I have one of these. Really like it!
Decent adjustability and good glass!
About the same price I paid for my Ziess V4. But the CT controls feel smoother. Glass, I can't tell the...
I tried for a while when the Hunter came out a few years ago for the 280AI.
The non magnum actions are 6 lug instead of 9 lug.
I actually ended up saving a couple hundred more and got the Weathermark LT in 7mm Weatherby.
The more I handled the Hunter, the more I didn't like the stock...
I've never seen or heard of anyone complaining about the terminal performance of the Partition or A-Frame.
But be aware that at closer ranges or hitting heavy bone, the nose may come apart down to the partition. (For those that complain about weight retention)
As others have mentioned, the...
@yakimanoob,
Something that came to mind.
How long is your barrel?
I didn't see it mentioned.
Was just wondering if the length (or lack thereof) might be keeping you from reaching the velocity that you're looking for.
Any updates?
I'm trying the 130gr Cutting Edge MTH this year.
Length...
Maybe we can make a deal and I'll take all but the 6mm off your hands for you. 😉
I've bought numerous boxes of the Solid Base from private sellers.
A Ballistic Tip by any other name.
I went to the local camera/photography shop , told them what my price range was and had them show me 3 different tripods within my price range.
Went through them testing how the controls worked, how solid they were, fully opened and closed them. How much did each weight.
In the end, I got...
I have 40, 42, 44, 56, 60.
The 60 is only used for matches. But not because of the objective size. But rather the magnification. 10-50X60.
And the 60mm objective isn't really any heavier than some of the smaller objective scopes.
The 40,42 are "darker" than the 56 & 60.
While the 60 is...
According to Strelok Pro, the 139gr Hornady CX launched at 2,832fps (the typical velocity of a 140gr bullet from my 7mm-08AI at my 2,000ft elevation) still has 2,055fps at 400 yards with 1304 ftlb of energy.
No reason for needing a magnum for reasonable hunting distances with those numbers.
I wouldn't let that woman cook me a cold bologna sandwich!!
Only person I know that can burn an ice cream sandwich.
As for getting blood out of clothes, Dead Downwind (the scent control spray people) have a laundry detergent that works well.
That sounds interesting!
I never got a Magnetospeed because I was concerned about it possibly throwing off the point of impact with being attached to the barrel.
Mounting it to the front sling attachment would alleviate that.
I have a Caldwell picitinny mount that attached to the front...
@yakimanoob,
If you're using an optical type chrono, try moving it 5' further out.
I had reading issues with my Beta Master. Come to find out the muzzle blast was affecting the chrono. Moving it just 5' further away solved the issue.
Varget will probably show you some better accuracy, but...
@yakimanoob has given you some good advice.
My $200 Stevens 200 with the $129 Vortex Crossfire II is still my main freezer filler.
I didn't have the means for half of the equipment that many people on the forums were suggesting when I got on them.
You have to use what works for you, with...
