    Haven’t read either of those two unfortunately. But I do have “true hunting adventures”, it was ok but not great, hate to say it but I prioritised buying books from other authors after reading that...

    You’re right. The extra diameter, weight, and speed that a 243 has over a 223 make it a more emphatic killer as far as deer go. Do the numbers on a 243 with a 90gr eldx vs a 223 with a 73gr eldm; the...

    Ranal I think that’s pretty normal, I have the 882 version and it’s pretty clunky like yours. Other than that idiosyncrasy, they are accurate little shooters

    Vandros your first photo is of a 3-15x56, a 44mm objective is significantly smaller. FWIW I would be choosing the Leupold, no question
