Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Introduction, the new voice of Tract optics here on the Campfire

Well, you get points for seeing there's a difference between the two types. That's far from true in a lot of cases on here. There's certainly some overlap, especially as to reliability, which is in everyone's interest.

Since you play on both sides of this game, you might want to check out the latest episode of the Fieldsports Channel on YouTube. They take a couple of Mauser's newer hunting rifles, the M12 and M18 out to 1500 meters at a facility in Wales. Just ordinary guys doing the shooting, but with an experienced coach/spotter calling the holds for them. He used, of all things, an old M98 with tracers to get a feel for the wind conditions. Interesting stuff, and a good look at a couple rifles most have never considered. Regrettably the cartridge choices for those models are limited here so far.
