Bottom end is important for Bush hunting. Hunting at 10-40 meters is very different to hunting at 200-500mtr. My Bush gun started with a 1-4x20, then stepped up to a 1.5-6x40 and now wears a...

My Two main rifles wear a 1-6 and 1-10 vortex strike eagle with bdc reticle respectively (223 &308) They tick every box for me except perhaps low/last light performance

+1. Once you get over about 3x you FOV diminishes to a point where it makes it difficult at close range. I own a 3-15 and a 3.5-10 on my centrefires as as a compromise between magnification and size...

Yes, 2-10 or 2-12 or 3-12 or 3-15 by 40 - 44mm objective would be my pick. I find 4x a bit limiting in bush hunting.

I use it for 130gr speers and it is very accurate. Never chronographed it though so can't comment on velocity.

I have powders, but shot shells use a ton of it. I can load 4-5 45ACP from one 12g shell. And a couple of 30 cal rifle loads with cast bullets.

Should the helicopter pilots know where the no-fly zones are? I'd have thought that that they should - much like restricted fly zones. I'm disappointed that a charter pilot would willingly...
