they should offer a new version/option with 105-115 high bc bullets, faster twist bullets... would be awesome. You could argue the 240 is a better antelope cartridge than the 257 wby!

I’m looking to get my hands on my first bolt action hunting rifle (6.5 CM or 6.5 PRC) and this podcast is a wealth of knowledge. After this episode, it’ll 100% be the Viper HD 3-15x MRAD. Thanks!

Does being in the UK meet thr cretira for Comment of the week? Shout out to Ryan M for his messages on socials. Always a great chat! Can't wait to hear more hunting stories and plans as your own season starts!

I wish more would make 4 power scopes. 3-12x44 would be great.

I use the 4-12x 40 mm Diamondback on my deer rifle. It is a great scope and has never failed me in my 10 years of using it in the field.

Been asking for a SFP with higher mag and objectives in the Razor LHT. The Viper 5x25x50 is a nice start. Still think there's a market for better glass and light weight in Razor line but excited to get my hands on the new Vipers!

Thoroughly enjoying the progression in quality of podcast openings. Could use a suggestion on a handed down .270 win browning safari II. Eastern US hunting application.

Recently outfitted my mini 14 with the crossfire scout scope and I'm really impressed how much you can get done with a 2-7, hopefully it can help me take some coyotes this fall

Used the same process with my brother when he was choosing a rifle caliber: what are you using it for, cost, longest ranges. Talked him into a 30-06 over 308 or 300 win mag then he went and threw a 5-25 strike eagle on it hunting wisco whitetails in slashings.🫠

I find the 2x7 power scopes to be the best power range for medium game like deer and elk. 16x power is the most magnification for hunting conditions for small varmints like prairie dogs. Folks do not understand how much more refinement and optical qualities is needed for high scope magnification especially with all variables power scopes. That is why an inexpensive fixed 4x scope can equal the optical quality of a more expensive 3x9 variables.

I would be interested in seeing a 10 minute talk on the Hornady Superformance line. I hunt with a Rem 700 Classic from 1988 chambered in 35 Whelen. I believe it has a 22 inch barrel and I’m wondering if there is an advantage to shooting superformance ammo? Are they able to produce faster speeds by using slower burning powder that peaks longer compared to Nosler, Remington, and Barnes?

Team, I think an episode talking about long-term ammo care and storage would be very beneficial. Also, I appreciate the sense of community Vortex has created through your customer service and podcasts. Thank you.

I own 2 venom, an eagle, and a diamond back on various rifles. I am also a Iowa revolver hunter. Recommended me a vortex product for my 460 smith and wesson.

I’ve been running some 62 grain controlled chaos in my 12.5 5.56 AR

Kicking off Monday right

Comment, comment, comment. This is me commenting! You guys are great. You guys make great entertainment!

What we REALLY need more conversations about are scopes for long range precision and ELR shooting.. best budget options for newbies just getting into long range precision shooting.. MOA or MRAD.. reticle types and understanding "christmas tree" type reticles and using all of the info they can prrovide you with.. FFP vs SFP.. using your magnification correctly.. holdover vs dialing the turrets.. scope height over bore.. illuminated or non illuminated reticle.. BDC reticles and truing your rifle to your reticle drop points.. using your reticle for sizing and ranging targetss.. Ballistic calculators and Apps.. reading and calculating windage without a Kestrel.. knowing your G1 and G7 BC.. Look guys.. I know you have already touched on ALL of these things in other videos.. but some of us would really appreciate MORE indepth discussions on a few of these topics.

I already had a viper HSLR 4-16x50 laying around when I got my Sig Cross for Christmas so I threw it on there. Love the scope but been looking for a lighter and more compact option as well as less magnification to take advantage of the lightweight and handiness of the rifle. I’ve been waiting on the new Eotech vudu x 2-12x40 but this new viper 2-10x42 has caught my eye. Love having options

Does scope ring hights make a difference in short or long distance shots? Should you keep your scope as close to the barrel as possible? Thanks 🇺🇲

Woooo, early bird here! Good morning, guys!

Easy! 257 wby mag...west Texas

.308 All day long that 6.5 CRAP SOMEMORE SUCKS!!!

I am a descendant of Edward Teach. My grandfather told me that it was passed down from generations that Edward killed a bear on Ocracoke Island off the North Carolina coast with a switch from a Liveoak Tree. I never knew him to tell any tall tales either. What do you folks think? LOL

So I just bought my first bolt action rifle that I mean to use for long range as well as a scope to pair with it. Now I'm generally nerdy with things and do my best to do things right. But the impression I get from all of the videos that I am seeing that relate to long range/precision shooting or just this style shooting in general (talking about bolt actions and things of the like, not AR style platforms etc), is that it is almost too easy to mess things up when setting it all up. Is this the case? Is it really that easy to ruin your whole setup when getting started? I asked this because it is beginning to almost steer me away even though I've already gotten started, and I could totally see it actually steering somebody away completely that wants to get into it.

Bullpup bolt action PCC?

Digital reticles is where it's at. It can be anything you want it to be.

30:13 This very much, with a couple modifications: (1) CZ shouldn't use their 600 platform as-is, instead they should scale the action down for PCC-only use (perhaps a downsized 600 Trail) no need for the added weight; and (2) reimplement the swappable bolt-face/barrel functionality on this PCC action (along with mag-well adapters) to allow hot-swapping to other pistol calibers (9mm, 45 acp, 10mm, 357 mag, etc). Though CZ couldn't get the barrel swaps to work with the full-power rifle cartridges safely, they did for their rimfires in the 457. Query whether a PCC version would be more like the latter than the former.

If you don't test all 700 different loads of 30-06, this isn't science

I won’t compare the 5.7x28 on paper to the 22 WMR and act like there aren’t differences in velocity exc, but functionally they fill a similar role: A marginal defensive round (but a big step up from a 22lr), and a fun low recoil ranch gun that gives you performance out to about 125-150 yards. The big advantage the 5.7 has is better centerfire reliability and better velocity from shorter barrels. Its varmint and small game performance for me has not been good though for me, at least with the common loads available. The 27gr green tip zips through rabbits and coyotes without doing anything, leaving me with a wounded animal that isn’t dead, and unless you are at a pretty close range with the 40gr blue ballistics tip that loses velocity so quickly that it doesn’t fragment or expand beyond around 75-100 yards, in my experience.

Episode 338 is released just as I'm in the process of finding a scope and mounting solution for my new 338 Win Mag. Uncanny...

I’ve been on the fence about building one of these out. I am now convinced to do so lol great video

270 flatter shooting , 06 + Heavy bullet , more knock down power . Both Good !

The nfa is unconstitutional!

Question. Has anybody complained about pricing? Why the hell are pistol red dots the same price as your precision scopes? I mean, at some point you all have to quit screwing over your consumers by saying its the technology. We are paying the same price for lets say a 2 oz 1moa red dot as a ffp christmass tree reticle mrad 5x25 precision rifle scope. Same concept with your rifle dots and prism optics. Tell me there is not some kind of corruption in the idealogy there. Im all for capitalism and the idea that anybody can build wealth in this country. But to sit there and charge the same price for four to five different optics is absolute bullshit. Red dots for rifle or pistol 100 Prism 200 Lpvo 300 Precision scope 400. There you go. That is fair pricing. Quit making basically the same scope and have it varying in price by 300 due to the tube size. Shit.

What I think? Well it depends.

.22 WMR cartridge introduced to the shooting public in 1959. It was relatively successful. What's your opinion of the .17 HMR? Popular at first, it seems to be fading.

Oh how televisions prices age 50” leds at 150-200 all day with good brands

Just getting interested in turkey hunting. Great video.

Guys, ditch that stupid head gear and get some lapel mics! Seriously! Can't even watch this.

Alaskan hunting guides are known to use 10mm Auto...talking and ballistics can't replace actual experience. That being said, a Native took a record grizzly with a 22lr.

Ok so I have myself, my wife and my best friend I trust with my life. No kids ... Single shot trust right....then ad my wife and buddy. Also what happens if silencerco ever goes out of business. Is everything concrete after its done ... sorry if its a dumb question. ..I wanna get a multi cal black tube and a 22 one

Will you do a 45 colt review??

Will you do a 45 colt review???

What about 358 winchester?

Would love to see a more apples to apples comparison. .204 ruger? maybe 22 ARC? Cost per round vs ballistics. Coon vs coyote?

Do 6MAX please!

I want whatever these guys are smoking

My first mule deer in 1993 with a 30-30, it's very common with the rural folks and not with firearms Gucci who are always getting the latest firearm being release.

So the southern region of the states have smaller stature whitetail compared to the mid west. But in Texas we have small deer but large racks
