Natalie Boren, Northeastern Regional AIS biologist, shows off her biggest lake trout "hold" to date. The big fish swam away after some quick measurements, and hopefully she feels it on the end of her rod in the near future!

Hawk Optics Varmint SF Scope Review

Bushmaster — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 00:30:35 +0000

My name is Daryl and I am a guide for Critter Gitter Outfitters. I bought Hawk Optics Varmint SF 4-16×44, I have to say for under $200 these scopes are hard to beat. The Varmint SF has an adjustable parallax (puts crosshairs and the target on the same focal plane) and is very clear, even at high magnifications. Underneath the scope turret covers there are low profile target turrets, which are easy to read and can be set back to zero. It has a mil-dot reticle that has .5 mil reference points, the mils are true at 10x and is very helpful with range estimation (I will do a separate article on mils and range estimation). I have been impressed with the quality of this scope for the price, it seems to be built solid and should be able to stand up to a good amount of recoil. My scopes usually get banged around quite a bit and this scope is no exception, but so far it has not lost its zero. The finish on the scopes is durable and doesn’t scratch as easily as my burris or Nikons. I currently have 3 other rifle scopes that were all bought for over $250 each, this scope beats them all in every way and I will be buying Hawk Varmint SF rifle scopes to replace them with. Not too long ago I had a 3-9×40 Leupold that I had bought used for $450 and the Hawk Varmint SF is just as clear as my Leupold was. Not too long ago I met a guy on the range who had a vortex diamondback, he paid something like $270 for it. We compared them both side by side, he also liked the Hawk Varmint SF better. I have 2 friends that after using my hawk wanted to get one for themselves. I think for $189, there is not a better scope out there than the Hawk Varmint SF.

Predatorpro, our newest site member got these 2 yotes, wanted to share it with ya, was an awesome day! well headed down past the neighbors house on the 4th (my bday) and as soon as i got done calling here comes a little coyote down the the gravel road and takes a left turn straight for the decoy in front of me and i put one right through her, she somehow ran about 80 yards or so maybe and piled up dead as can be, and that was the one and only stand i called that day,….on the 5th i took my dad out finally to call a coyote in for him ( i think he thought i was always just full of crap) and so we head to our spot and as im starting to crest the hill where we are setting up a crow jumps about 200 yards away and catches my attention and right below it is a coyote laying down on a little mound, so we stop right where we were at and get the camera set up and just about to call and another coyote in the trees to our left starts challenge barking and i assumed it was at us i thought we had got spotted by another coyote while looking at another one… so the first coyote we seen laying down stands up and just slowly walks off and about then i started calling and out the trees comes a coyote just running right for us and about 50 yards behind it comes another one, well the coyote in the lead gets into the bottom of a low spot and never comes out….the other coyote stopped and watch about 150 yards away, so we decide to go ahead and shoot that one and right then that first coyote comes out about 50 yards to our left and starts challenge barking again……so BOOM my dad dusted the coyote out in front at 150 yards and i immeditally started kiying on my primos little dog and the other coyote had stopped about 150 yards away behind some trees and started yipping and makin all kinds of noise, this went on for about 10 minutes so i switched back to my distress call and he it comes cautiously coming towards us and about 100 yards it stops broadside and right when my dad goes to pull the trigger the coyote lunges forward and he missed! but thats the way it goes sometimes we still had a great hunt with lots of coyotes in our only stand of the day,

Barnes Varmint Grenade 50gn 22cal

Bushmaster — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 17:55:51 +0000

I just bought some Barnes Varmint Grenade bullets for my Bushmaster Predator upper (20” barrel with a 1:8 twist). I was browsing bullets for predator hunting thinking that I was limited to a 65gn bullet at the smallest with the 1:8 twist of the rifle when the Barnes Varmint Grenade bullets caught my eye. I saw that a 1:10 or faster twist was recommended for that 50gn bullet. I didn’t believe it until I took it out of the box and looked at the bullet. Without there being any lead inside the Varmint Grenade it was almost as long as some 70gn-75gn bullets. So I bought them and figured I would test them out and try something besides Nosler, and Hornady VMAX for a change. When I got home I went to go look up some load data and found that the Barnes Varmint Grenade bullet wasn’t in any of my books, and the little data on the internet didn’t include the powders I wanted to use. So after a few phone calls to Barnes and hours of research on the internet (before I called Barnes) this is what I came up with for some load data.

I will do a separate article on which loads worked best in my Predator upper.

Then I will go out and see what the Varmint Grenade can do compared to a Hornady VMAX, see wich one will do the least pelt damage on a coyote.

Cant wait to try the Varmint Grenade on a coyote.
