Several times over the years the topic of variable scopes and ballistic reticles has come up. The question is whether these hold over lines are accurate as your crank the power of your scope up and down. In most cases the answer is no.
I’ve had the MSR Hyperflow filter for about five years and have relied on it every year as my primary water source on backpack hunts, even horseback hunts. It’s very easy to use and pumps water fast. It’s rated at 3 liters per minute and weight 7.4 oz.
Imagine that you have drawn the limited entry mule deer tag for which you’ve been patiently waiting for over a decade. You’ve done your preseason homework and located a great buck. All the preparation and time that you have applied to this hunt finally pays off and you find yourself just at the brink of closing the deal on a trophy buck.
The first thing I consider when packing for a hunting trip is the weather. I look up the forecast for the area and check the daily temperature, humidity, pressure and the moon phase. I can make do with most conditions but the two that I dread most are high winds and full moons.
The Zeiss Conquest is truly one of my favorite rifle scopes. I've used it for a few years on my varmint rifle and it's seen some tough conditions but it has never let me down.
