RE: Best scope for a 30-30?

Must admit you have a dilemma here. I hunted for years with a lever action 35 remington and it never occured to me to put a scope on it. Figured I would get close enough and I did. I definitely would...

RE: Leupold/Zeiss Or Bushnell PLease Help

Well since i live just outside Mobile, I might just look at their lists. I have said repeatedly that any 30 mm scope will be heavier than a 1 inch scope. Does the extra weight mean anything. Like...

RE: Leupold/Zeiss Or Bushnell PLease Help

i just looked up Diavaris at opticsplanet.com. With a good reticle they are 2000 and 30 mm. The illuminated scope is 3000, I can get a conquest for about 800 and then add postage to it. This would be...

RE: Leupold/Zeiss Or Bushnell PLease Help

Must admit I have never had trouble with a Zeiss scope but for years used Zeiss microscopes and their customer service there was first rate. But that was a former life. Still have never had trouble...

RE: Leupold/Zeiss Or Bushnell PLease Help

I tthought I made the point that for the money, the conquest is the best scope. A Diavari as i recall is 3000 or so and the S&B is also ridiculous in price , is a 30 mm tube and is heavy as is the...

RE: Leupold/Zeiss Or Bushnell PLease Help

There is nothing as bright as a Zeiss unless you have more money thencommon sense.You can argue for the S&B etc, butthey are ridiculous in price and 30 mm scopes/ The Bushnell 3200 scopes are ok but...

RE: Leupold/Zeiss Or Bushnell PLease Help

By all means go with the Zeiss if the price is not too high. Of your choices, I would rank them as Zeiss, then Leupold then Bushnell. Zeiss for its general optics, Leupold because it is an Industry...

RE: 165 gr or 180 gr.?

I would clearly go with the 180 grain but use a bullet that maintains shape well. The reason for the 180 is to provide rapid killing o fthe elk. I would recommend Barnes or Nosler as has been...

RE: Leupold/Zeiss Or Bushnell PLease Help

I agree with you completely. When I saw the price tag on the 6500s I tought they are idiots for trying to sell against Zeiss. Just will not happen very realistically and that is a fact. The clarity...

RE: Leupold/Zeiss Or Bushnell PLease Help

As pointed out by others, not quite sure what you are going to use the scope for but you cannot beat a Zeiss conquest. You can say a Schmidt & Bender and Nightforce are better but they are...

RE: Too much Kick?

Well problem you can face if you are addicted to rifle brands like I am, there are few light-kickers in the group. Guess you can argue for the 240 weatherby and the 257 weatherby but after that, the...

RE: Too much Kick?

Well I sure as hell would not fire any of the high end weatherbys (378, 416 or 460) without a brake or some serious shoulder protection. The evoshield has been certified with pretty nasty shotguns so...

RE: Too much Kick?

Bravo. Two great replies for sure. Makes an old butthead like me laugh like hell. I still remember shooting the 3 1/2 inch 10 guage when I thought I could handle anything. I kept a stiff upper lip...

RE: Too much Kick?

well being a weatherby fan we can talk about recoil. try any of the rifles based upon the 378 case (30-378, 338-378, 378, 416 and 460) and come back and tell us how you enjoued the experience. Oh...

RE: Too much Kick?

interesting charts and notice, the more detailed ones had rifle weight as part of the issue. i really think the rifle he is shooting is too light for the caliber.

RE: Too much Kick?

Recoil is a killer for sure. As I recall, remington has introduced a managed recoil cartidge this year. You might want to see if it is available in your caliber. At issue is probably the weight of...

RE: Too much Kick?

Recoil is an interesting thing. When I was 22 or so, a friend of my dad handed me a shotgun to shoot. Damnable thing was a 20 guage 3 1/2 magnum. Liked to knock me om my butt. Never have U shot...

RE: Leupold vs Zeiss

Very interesting discussion here with some intermixed statements. First of all, the actual quality of glass probably resides with the Japanese, ergo, the Nikon. The quality of the scope in general...
