    Moa Hunter liked post by Husky1600 On thread : Time for a scope upgrade?
    I've never been in favour of higher magnification scopes on hunting rifles, seen too many stuff ups over 35 years of guiding. You dont need high magnification to shoot a long ways out, but you do...

    Got a Burris 6x 2-12x40 if that’s of interest. Ballistic plex reticle gives you hold over points 100,200,300,400 & 500yds.

    I have owned a Leupold 4.5-14x and the fov on 4.5x is not good. Wouldn’t recommend it for bush stalking.

    Moa Hunter liked post by JohnDuxbury On thread : What are you using for pressure estimation in your handloads.
