I used the Arken Zulus with the ballistic what-not in it and on 20 power so it wasn't that difficult.

You liking that scope.

I’ve only used it at night once and yes that’s what I did. Pure meat collecting. I think its strength is that it gives you another hour of daylight hunting into dusk. It’s phenomenal in the twilight after you can’t see with an ordinary scope.

There’s a new 4K hikmicro day night scope that is even better albeit heavier, bulkier and more expensive.

Why do you need all these toys to shoot deer. You get plenty already.

I can't speak for Tahr, but I know I own a lot of things I probably don't "need", but it's fun.

I fell over and broke my 3x Kahles and the young pimply faced guy at Hunting & Fishing said that my old scope was so last year and that these are all the rage. Who was I to argue?

I gave the 75gr eldm (@2900fps) a run yesterday afternoon. First 2 rounds fired at deer since sorting the load out.
1st shot was 280m on a ginger spiker, steep down hill, L to R wind. I held just left of the shoulder point, bang flop!
2nd shot was in the head on a yearling doe at 80m finishing a deer that a mate had spined. The guys shot other deer in the same basin.
It started pissing rain so didn't get any photos, just a chiller pic this morning.

Doing well to get 2900fps, interested to hear what your load is?

I am easily getting 2900 with the 73gn from a 22" bbl using 2206h.
