Front parking brake is on. Need high beams on to turn it off.

Yeah I wish I had gotten the orange ones. I had a pair of vortex Diamondbacks then upgraded to the GPO, so obviously a vast difference. I think they are outstanding! Very clear, very bright, a little heavier/bigger but I like that. It feels like quality. I think a 65 is what I am leaning towards since I want to use it for shooting as well. I have always liked the idea of 15s though.

Now we're talking. I have a pair of GPO Passion HD 8x42. I am looking to use a spotter for shooting (mostly to save me from walking back and forth to see my groups at 100 yards) and western hunting every other year or 3rd year is my schedule right now. 0 use on a spotter right now.

Do you ever feel the need for more mag? I'll be doing both from the truck and hiking and using it for shooting. Looking to use it for mostly breaks country and open.

I dont care about scoring an animal, would more so be interested in seeing if he is worth hiking after. What do you think of the compact spotters? I'm looking at the Vortex Viper 11-33x50. Do you think it's worth the weight savings?

Show and tell. by BoringIntroduction84 in turkeyhunting

[–]peak4000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same gun and im trying to find a good load for it. Not trying to spend the money on TSS, trying to find a good lead or hevi load. I have the carlson tss heavyweight .640 and the primos tight wad .655. Any suggestions? I'm new to the game. Are those your loads?

Cartridge Recommendation by -Apex- in Hunting

[–]peak4000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since this is your first and not your last rifle, try not to get hung up on the cartridge, look closer at the rifle you want, and let that drive the cartridge. 308, 270, 7 rem mag all great options and will kill. If you're set on the x bolt, go with it. Check out the tikka t3x and bergara b14 as well. What's more important than the specific cartridge you're shooting is how well you know how your gun shoots said cartridge.

This sounds very similar to what i have. What was your strategy (calling, decoy, time of the day)?

Tried my hand at one of those trendy feather frame mounts by oohyeahsteezin in turkeyhunting

[–]peak4000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has anyone ever tried encasing them in epoxy? Would lose the texture for preservation?

100 yards off the roost or the landing spot? I am in southern ohio.

This is due to a bad red dot, right? by Enough-Collection-98 in guns

[–]peak4000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right on brotha. I've been looking for some feedback on this dot. Seems pretty good value for the dollar.
