    Bino Warranty and Repair Work

    Well, I am not really using a warranty at all, but I am sending my Zeiss 4.5-14x44 for my .257 wby to Zeiss to get target turrets installed. Everynight that I send a email, when I check it in the morning I have a reponse from them. I am impressed so far! We will see how long it takes to get it back!

    Scouting companions

    I love taking my dog out. When I was up in Flagstaff, him and I made dozens of scouting trips looking for elk. He loved it out there so much, he would peel out when he hit the dirt! I have only taken him out coues scouting once and he was very well behaved. Stays on the trail, and doesnt go far in front of me. If he gets too far, he stops and looks back at me and waits for me to say something to him. I have only taken him out once, because the next time I went out scouting after the first time I ran into my first snake I have ever seen while glassing. I will probably take him some more this year, because he loves it! Doug, dont forget, Rica is notorious for blocking the view! Especially in the early mornings, Rica is very rowdy, and terrible for standing still!

    So, Jim, youre going to tell us all about how you need the warranty blah, blah, blah and not tell us what the heck you did?! Come on man! Thats almost as bad as posting a succesful hunting story without pictures! POINTLESS!!!!!

    Nikon's new high end binos

    I dont blame you at all! That Nikon is probably 95% of the Swarovski, at a fraction of the price, and one one hundredth of the weight of the Swaro! I was EXTREMLY impressed by it when I looked through it! On a side note, the gentleman at the birdforum notes the Zeiss FL being excellant glass and they are. I have had a few clients with them and I have been extremly impressed by them both times, but they feel some what "cheap" to me, all thorugh they are FAR from that!

    Nikon's new high end binos

    Are you talking about the Nikon Field scope with the ED glass? If so, I had a client who had a prototype of one a couple years ago and it was awesome, and tiny! That thing is for sure the best in its class!!

    Nikon's new high end binos

    Yeah, Im not sure anything besides Lieca Duovids and Ultravids will come close to matching/passing the EL's. theyre pretty good! Plus, the only time I have looked through EL's, it was to watch a 100"buck fall!

    Turrets/BDC/Guess hold over

    How far have you tested the TDS at? What is the bottom line?

    Turrets/BDC/Guess hold over

    Just curious as to what everyone uses on those sometimes long shots on coues? Currently, I use Target Turrets and love them. My coyote gun has Varmint Hunters Reticle from Leupold. My dads 7RUM has B&C and it works rather well. My back up gun(270) and my elk gun (30-06) both have standard duplex so I just have to guess holdover/wind. What works best for you, what are you running on your coues gun?
