I’ve never been a Hubble kinda guy. I want to mount a scope to a rifle, not mount a rifle to a scope.

I want to keep the objective to no more than 42.

A lot of people seem to have disproportionate opinions on what is needed for hunting ‘out West’: super duper magnums with Hubbles mounted for 2-mile shots.

I’ve paid close attention to your posts in the past, Brad, and noted that you tend to use 270/7mm-08/308 and have gotten pretty close to the elk, 40-100 yds. I’ve also noted your use of ballistic tips and hot cors. I pay pretty close attention to what Dober and Poobah say, too, along with a select group of others. But I read what everyone has to say and digest it accordingly.

I have a plethora of rifles, and recently bought a Ruger American compact in 7mm-08. I’m focusing now on lightweight, weather-resistant rifles in anticipation of retiring/moving. I would get a Kimber but I shoot lefty, so that’s out.

Keep the info coming, guys! :-) 


Exquisitely turdlike in all of his many manifestations!!

Resist much - obey little. Hayduke lives!
