Huskemaw Scope

I use a 5-15X power bushnell elite 3200 with mil dot and target turrets standard on this scope. It has great glass IMO for what I paid and has 1/4" clicks. This sits on a .243 coyote rifle and gets bounced around on a daily basis and holds zero well. I can use the mil dot for ranging and hold over or I can use the factory supplied target turrets. A great scope for the money my .02

I would love to have a mark4 or nightforce but the wifey says no way!!! I have a leupold vari 3 on a 22-250 standard plex with turrets nice but I like the elite better.

I have used an Elite like you have just for a short period of time. It was on a friend's rig-Glad it is working good for you.
 
There are a good 30 scope boxes on top of my safe of all makes and models.

I will say that I kinda like the Shepherd scope system, and Dan Shepherd is a great guy to shoot the BS with. Problem is, I can't get either of the 2 scopes 2 hold zero, even after sending them in. For long range work, I still prefer Mark 4's with M1's.......
 

Current LR optics:

Leupold Mark 4 FFP 6.5-20 w/ART Reticle
Huskemaw 5-20
NF NXS 8-32 NP-2DD Reticle
Leupold VX-3 LR/T 8.5-25 Dot Reticle
Sightron S-3 6-24 Mil-Dot Reticle (wish it was the dot reticle)
 
I'll be using my T-36 (1/8 min. dot reticle) for load development and possibly 600yd prone on my 243 that is at Kampfelds......
 

Current LR optics and Specialty Handguns (No Rifles Allowed

Barrels are all fast twist, and a number of different makers: McGowen, Broughton, Lilja, Lawton, Brux, Shilen, Douglas, Krieger

I have a couple of other scopes but they are long eye relief handgun scopes.
 
I'm thinkin' the LER thing is what turned me away from pistols chambered for rifle cartridges. Maybe I just didn't put the right optics on them......

If it is a horesy cartridge a good muzzle brake and a rifle scope will let you do about anything.
Milder ones do not require a brake, but close to no movement is nice

I always use hearing protection.
Double it when I am shooting from a fixed position.
Muzzle Brakes are necessary for some of cartridges I shoot.
Well, if you get a specialty handgun, now you don't have to worry about the long eye relief and short FOV-Now you know you can use riflescope. Might be a good time to try the Huskemaw

I screwed up my hearing many years ago(Pretty stupid). I like the muzzle brakes. However I do not worry so much about the recoil of the rifle. I really like the brakes because I think the brake gives me more control of the rifle. And I think I shoot better with more control of the rifle. I believe the brake gives me a better follow through. But this is entirely unscientific. Just my opinion. Tom.

Tom,
Also a good brake will let you spot your own shot, which is useful, and enjoyable.

I can imagine some of those hog-legs you shoot could get quite sporty without a brake. I've shot a few. 30-30, 30 Herrett, 7mm TCU, 7-30 Waters, 375 JDJ( I think that is the one that uses necked down 444 brass). A plain old 30-30, unbraked, is a good handful in a handgun, I know. They are just so damm loud. Might be another reason why I just go with a rifle or a big-bore revolver. I can remember shooting my T/C Contender .223 with 14" tube over the hood of my truck for the first time. Ear piercing, and that's not even a big cartridge......

Why the beef with A-bolts?
