Typically you dont want mess around with different ammo types specially the drastic different types you have listed. If you have to use different ammo at least get the same grain at a minimum. The other reality is anything under 200yds shouldnt be affected all that much, if your good shot...
Thanks for the info. Based on mostly likely getting something like 30MOA out of the scope I'm not sure the 20 MOA rail is needed and probably looking at with 30MOA on the scope, getting to a range north 1100 or so. Getting the 20 MOA rail without doing the math, probably puts this thing out to...
Had a previous set up from 8 years ago and this all figured out then. Just upgrading. Have taken multiple deer past 500 with good shots really not that hard with the right equipment. Appreciate the input
I have a 300 WSM (browning x bolt) Just bought a SIG 6x24-50 scope. Ordered a 20MOA rail for it, I know it wont hurt, but thinking do I really need it. Also going to get the SIG custom turret. Scope will be zeroed at 100 yds, 1/4MOA at 100 yds on the scope
Anyways here is my math...
Anybody see the sigs in stores so you can look at them? I would love to get rid of the extra range finders. But I love my nikons and dont want to downgrade on glass.
Other question is if the electronics die I would assume it doesnt affect the function of the glass.
Based on price it kind of...
Here is my two cents. if you want to hunt out west I would be looking for a 30 caliber or possibly a mag. I would also never hunting with a single shot, bolt action all the way.
With that said a standard barrel should get you 10,000 rds but with lack of care and use could decrease that, so...
Whats your budget? I have used high end glass but convinced lessor glass gets you into the same dance. The only time I would spend big money on high end glass would be if it were my job or something that was all of the time.
With that said I have Nikon Monarch 7s and I would put them against...
I would trust my 308 anywhere. But I do use my 300 out west due to the fact we have never shot under 300 and routinely shoot in the 5-600 range. With said same grain of rounds the 308 drops around 14in at 300yds and 60in at 500yds, where as the 300 drops 8 at 300yds and 38in at 500 yds. So...
the 6.5 is the hip thing. Its nice low recoil and shoots flat. But the 300 is going to hit harder at just about any range. The 300 also means very little if any compensation for drop until after 300 yards
There's the Vortex hype out there and its nice glass for the money at every level. Ive never owned it but buddies have and I have compared it at stores.
The crossfire line is their base line and its nice but its not the best IMO. Nikons comparable line is better IMO. IDK check it out, there...
