@@sturisa thank you. Just as an FYI, I did switch out to peep sites and had some trouble getting them properly aligned. Ended up sending the rifle back to Henry and they re-barreled it. Frankly, I had better luck with the semi buck horns generally but currently have Skinner peep sites on there. Also pretty good luck with the 2.5 to 8 by Leupold.

@ well that’s good to know thanks. I sure wouldn’t want to go through all of that just to put on those peep sights though. I wonder why you couldn’t just remove and replace the front sight to align with the rear peep. Anyway, I’ll keep my semi buck horns on there for now. I kinda like them.

@@anhphan2049-d3q can’t remember for sure and I sold it some time ago…

I like a couple of mm on either side of the lugs... I should see a bit of the links on either side from the top down. You can meaure your wrist across the flat (like mine is 50mm) and go fromt there. I tried the Seamaster Heritage 300 and found 48mm too much. The Planet Ocean 39.5 is in my sweet spot. My wrist is 6.76" up to 6.96 depending on conditions and I have found that for me 38-40 is the sweet spoot with lug to lug of 45-47ish being perfect. Google watch size calculators and you will find some good resources. The 37.5 was pretty porky for its diameter and kind of got lost between a women's version (it came in the women's box) and a small version of a mens. If you like smaller check out the Black Bay 54, it's pretty bomber, the face was just a little small for me.

Love me some Kentucky windage!

The 3 143's I had... One was bad, one was medium (edge of spec) and one was good. The 451 is decent (last 10 days... 3,9,15,35,9,6,11,17,6,9) it would be nice if it was more consistent where as the SJE 117 with the 6L37 is generally running around +5 with fluctuation of 0 to + 9 (last 10 days 5,4,6,5,6,6,20,9,2,12). I don't know why they throw the outliers...

The finishing on the SJE 117 is really nice and you do get the 6L movement... might be the best MAS reinvention yet but they are pricey. I got a good deal or I wouldn't have paid retail. MIne is listed at ~1950 and I think that is about what it is worth. No way it is worth more than 2 times the SPB.

Cool! How’s the accuracy on this one?

@@Seffsqautch generally tends to be around +5 to 6 seconds per day with some oddball outlier days mixed in to keep me guessing (the SJE)

Sorry for that, will try to be more concise; hope you found the rest of the video helpful.

@@BlindFlowMC agreed this is up in Gray market Blackbay 58 territory. I got a pretty incredible deal or I would’ve let it pass.

While the scope is good, it is really the Ravin that is doing the work in this case. They are expensive but you can get the same limb technology from Centerpoint (CP400) though the trigger is not nearly as good.

@@BerettaHdz i’ve been shooting this thing regularly. Never had a failure to fire. Never had a failure to eject. If you are engaged in gentlemanly or match style two shelves is all you need… My only complaint is when we go to the ranch you can use a slightly modified Beretta tube and have like 10 shells in there so you have to reload a lot less often.

yeah, I think you are right, I just didn't have a great use case for it. I guess you could stick a spotting scope/tripod in there...

Or a rifle 🤔

Excellent ponts that you just can't refute. Corny is the word for the text and a no date version would be most welcome. The problem is, they sell a gazillion watches so, until we demand better, they can continue in a vaccuum.

@@valhallaoutfitter yup. Seiko is a hardheaded company that doesn’t value the opinions of the wristwatch community. And it shows. Despite pleas from several content creators for years, Seiko insists on changing nothing.

My experience: I bought mine about a month ago. Gains 2 seconds/day, it is objectively beautiful and comfortable. The refinements on the case from previous model, are only improvements; the presence of the date, if you like this watch, is a no problem because it is practically invisible and at the same time a useful feature. It is perfect with any strap. The bezel finish is ok for me and this sapphire crystal is hypnotic.The only minus is the clasp, which in any case is perfectly functional. I think Seiko is right to follow its way, otherwise we would have a lot of similar watches between the different brands.

Thank you for the feedback and the constructive ideas. I think when they are on sale (like now the jacket is ~$150) there is a lot of value there. If it ever rains in central Texas again I will add a video as per your suggestion; so far it has been great.

This gun is a real tack driver.

Boy, that's a good question and there are a lot of variables. For the short version... I sold my Meoptas and the Burris, then missed the PH so much I bought another one. This is partly use case dependent however.... the techological advancement in the PH makes shooting predators at long range with a 22-250 simpler (that was the main reason). The glass in both is comparable and good. The Meopta really feels well built, and unless you get the latest version of the PH there is no illumination (except the HUD) and I liked the illumintation on the Meopta. If you go with the plain Veracity (no PH) the prices get closer, but comparing the PH to the Meopta the Meopta's cost less. There is A LOT of value in the Optika 6 line. I really like both lines, I would say you can make your decision based on if you want the tech in the PH or not, but both will perform admirably and give you years of service.

Thanks for the feedback. There are many magnetic options... Sitka Fanatic pack has silent pockets, Badlands makes a variety of magnetic options. Sorry you felt like your time was wasted; we will continue to improve!

Then upload your own video showing how it's done you damn critic.

@@ccooper8785 you are talking about a quartz movement… apples and oranges.

Sure thing! I thought it would be the one watch in a one watch collection... just a wee bit on the big side for me. 39mm is really my goldilocks... so evaluating a BB58 and BB54 now (both are great) and was planning on sending one down the trail. If neither of them melt my butter enough it will be back to the Planet Ocean and I will be all done.

Really a great watch, just found I wasn't in love with the steel bezel.

@@jshepard152 thank you. I made this a while back and while doing some review it looks like you are right. I have had mixed experiences with the spot and would not rely only on the spot generally.

@@valhallaoutfitter InReach seems to work better than Spot if you need 2-way messaging. I think the Iridum constellation is probably a lot better than Globalstar, plus the Garmin device has a big power advantage.

The bolt throw on the momentum elite is 60 deg, so should not interfere with the scope. The scope in this video is a 3-18x 50. At the 3:06 mark I discuss how close I am to a 1/4 inch off the barrel. So, the difference between you 42 and my 50 is 8mm. 4 go up and 4 go down off center, so you have 4 extra mm than I do. A 1/4 inch is 6.35MM. 6.35+4= 7.35mm which is about the distance you would have to the barrel using the rings in this video; you can get lower rings. Hope this helps! I would get "low" and the make a "super low" for some set=ups that I would also consider, but low should work.

@@valhallaoutfitter Thanks much for your reply!

That’s a really good question and that’s just where I had to put it for my eye relief. Even when I went down to the leupold VX 3 HD I noticed the same thing, and I think it is the norm given the fact that they make the hammer extender so you can reach the hammer from the side of a scope. Don’t have to worry about it anymore; I moved back to Skinner peep sights to take it back to basics

They are a 14” lop rifle. Marlin is 13” (better).

I agree you really can’t go wrong either way. My wrist is 6.75 fluctuating up to 6.96. I would kind of prefer the 39 mm size with the lug to lug closer to 46 but c’est la vie.

17-20 in/lb on ring screws. Talley doesn't publish a number for the bases, I set my torque wrench around 23. You can call them, they are great about picking up. I think they told me to turn the bases screws until the supplied allen wrench flexes a little bit. Not very scientific, I know. It is possible (and not too hard) to strip these, so be careful or you will be ordering literally one screw from Talley.... ask me how I know.

I still have the Endeavors, and they are still doing great. I did pick up a pair of Trybe 10 x 42's (th-cam.com/video/Pc-w1eeMdMk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=MqppHkkQOH3bVYa0 and th-cam.com/video/yo2-YzSyJgY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=h6xtS7aDTOz3FQGI) which are a great deal on final sale. I also picked up a Riton 5 spotter which I like a lot too (th-cam.com/video/a_BMibnCrH0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=pOPecQBGODt4XRAP). Harness has been great, I like that you can switch between backpack mount and shoulder harness... overall pretty pleased.

Actually, it might. I just checked for you, my Dell Inspiron 13 fits in that pouch; so depending on the size of your machine maybe so.

I have both the slate and mud versions, they were just on sale for $35 on MidwayUSA. Either would be fine for EDC I think, they're pretty "clean" in terms of tactical look. The thin molle is very unobtrusive. Slate would be best for everyday use I think, very neutral color.

@@bennonlapworth5026 it has to some extent. In the field, I don’t even really notice it. Now it splits time with my X-bolt pro which is also super fine.

While the barrel sight is also an option, the peep is here: skinnersights.com/collections/henry-repeating-arms/products/skinner-express-sights

Now I’m using precision Hunter almost exclusively across my 243 6.5 and 6.5 PRC

@@valhallaoutfitter Good to know. I've only tried Hornady 140gr American Gunner in my rifle, Savage 110 desert tactical, with o.k. accuracy. Less than 100 rounds thru the rifle so it's too early to tell. Will try other brands and bullet weights.

Agreed, just needed to break in a bit. This rifle is dead nutz...took a buck in the fall with it. Every bit as good as my new x-bolt pro tungsten w/the carbon fiber (6.5 prc).

The movement leaves something to be desired; this 24 jewel 6R35 seems almost universally hated. Only running at 21.6 beats/hr improves power reserve to 70 hrs but I would much rather have precision over accuracy... +25 to -15 PER DAY while the NH35 is rated worse, mine run better in practice. However, if I want accuracy I reach for my Seamaster 300... though I must say the planet ocean was within 2 sec a day and this Heritage lollipop is right on the bubble of METAS depending on position.

I like how mine shoots too. Good point on the auto safety (I could live without it). I didn't know the finish will wear off, I don't get mine out that often. Totally agree on the case, its pretty puny.

You can easily disable the auto safety. Take the stock off, remove the metal bar and put a roll pin where it was attached. It’s been a few years since I did this. I think there is a video on TH-cam.

I have had good luck with precision Hunter. I think it’s 143 grain. Hornady

Thanks for the reply, I'll definitely try them. HI

No, they did not. And they’re not that hard to strip either. They’re pretty picky about the torque. You can call Talley and they are happy to send you replacements and they are pretty inexpensive.

They really are great boots and super comfortable as long as you don't mind the extra ounces as compared to some of the more 'high tech' options out there. My Alico's have lasted a LONG time and are really great too.

@@valhallaoutfitter ive never heard of Alico’s but just dont run much and dont mind the extra weight. Ide rather have a heavy well made boot. Danners are the best.

Congratulations!! The root beer is cool too. A lot of value over the Seiko5 it clones and makes some improvements… I.e. the solid links.

@@valhallaoutfitter Exactly, that’s why I bought it. It has all the improvements I wanted in the seiko.

@@EastCoastPGS though I recently got a deal on the SBP143… wowzer!

@@valhallaoutfitter That’s a nice watch. I would of definitely bought that if it was in the 38mm range. I have a 6.5 inch wrist so anything bigger than 38-39mm doesn’t look good on me. Nice watch for sure though. I wear a 38mm certina diver as my daily though. So looking forward to getting this island pepsi to switch things up
