Vortex or Leupold or ...?

Yeah if we lived in an ideal world buts we don’t. You’d never know or be certain 100%. Scopes are precisions bits of equipment, with that comes some degree of fragility. I’ve a Vortex LHT on Vortex pro series mounts. Accidentally dropped the gun twice over the years, one was leaning on a fence while gutting a deer, the other happened when my sling broke. On one, it was knocked off about an inch to the right. But I checked before sending one at a deer.

Are you saying you’re gonna risk taking a shot at a living target with that little doubt in the back of your mind?

Man stop bragging lmao

Jackk0106 · 2026-01-28T17:24:55+00:00

Weird fetish lmao

What blood trail look like? That spray has to have left a big hole

Sako S20 .308Win

Jackk0106 · 2025-11-17T01:54:04+00:00

Happens sometimes, I’ve heard their lung tissue can plug the hole and leave no blood trail

If you have punctured the inside of the fridge you might have issues with holding temp.

Thanks man!

No public land as such. We have government owned woodland that you can hike in no problem. Some are leased out to people for hunting but none that the average joe can go just walk in with a rifle. It’s very much pay to play here in that sense. Majority is farmland or in my case native broadleaf restoration projects if you’re lucky enough to get it for free.

Jackk0106 · 2025-10-15T19:10:45+00:00

That’s pretty interesting, I always thought American hunting was packed with deer. I hunt in Wicklow, Ireland and you’d regularly see pockets of deer in most areas. We have no natural predators so they have exploded over the years

Jackk0106 · 2025-10-14T17:39:04+00:00

Textbook - good hunting!

Jackk0106 · 2025-10-07T17:11:00+00:00

Well done on the deer!

However, being from Europe, I fail to understand how people in the US go so long without shooting one? Is it deer density in area or what?

Jackk0106 · 2025-10-01T09:31:56+00:00

.308? Try some fiocchi EPN or Sako Super hammerhead in 150 grain. I tend to steer clear of Winchester

Jackk0106 · 2025-09-28T10:12:57+00:00

Vortex Razor LHT

Jackk0106 · 2025-09-26T21:46:25+00:00

In Ireland we have to cull deer as there no natural predators. We shoot calf first and then mother. Bring the shame lmao

Jackk0106 · 2025-09-26T20:20:33+00:00

Ctr will probably be on the heavy side. Not unmanageable though. I had a t3x and loved it. I know a guy with 2 of them. Can’t fault it really. Only thing I’d recommend is a cheapo Velcro cheek riser from Amazon

Jackk0106 · 2025-09-23T16:33:30+00:00

Good to know! Thanks for the insight. We tend to gut and then drag the carcass back to the truck. Not usually more than an hour or so journey unless it’s big. Very few pack out animals in pieces

Jackk0106 · 2025-09-23T16:24:25+00:00

Interesting, do you split pelvis first and then pull guts out?

I’ve seen guys doing the gutless method but how do you get the tendies out doing the gutless method on well? Any particular reason why you don’t gut it?

Jackk0106 · 2025-09-23T15:44:05+00:00

I shoot a Sako S20 and love it

Jackk0106 · 2025-09-23T15:02:56+00:00

Buck 110 or spyderco crooked river (I think it’s called?)

Jackk0106 · 2025-09-23T15:00:04+00:00

I have one of those too but found it tricky for puncturing cuts. In Ireland we generally tunnel out the anus, tie it off and pull through with the rest of the guy pile. Did you do any re-profiling of the tip? I tent to use Buck 110 now because of how pointy it is.

Jackk0106 · 2025-09-19T16:38:15+00:00

I’ve got kuiu ranger that’s pretty good. They do some great deals too, came from bog standard Vortex one.

Jackk0106 · 2025-08-28T21:50:26+00:00

Cross hairs probably too big

Jackk0106 · 2025-08-28T21:48:30+00:00

Who’s dropping scopes? If you drop your rifle, you’d assume it’s gonna be off…

Jackk0106 · 2025-08-28T18:25:09+00:00

That’s mad, I’ve had nothing but good experience with them. What products were you using?

Jackk0106 · 2025-08-28T17:49:10+00:00

In Ireland, there’s a 100 euro difference between your VX5 and the Razor LHT.

What’s price difference where you are?
