    Spotting scope

    I use poster board. Comes in many colors but I do use white most often and it’s got Some stiffness to it. Butcher paper might be cheaper. . . ?

    Spotting scope

    Remember the price range is $1000-otherwise I would have said swaro or even better, Leica. My father in law has a Leica spotter and it is awesome, but well out of my price range.

    Spotting scope

    There are some YouTube videos where they compare spotting scopes. I use a midrange vortex and it does the job-there are better scopes on the market but this one does work for what I need

    Hunting camp

    I take my hunting camp with me but I am jealous of yours, would be fun to have a membership in something like that if the hunting was good

    Deleated thread

    8mm post in general was uneducated, inexperienced thoughtless and nothing more than a stupid rant based on his limited thumbprint in a much larger world. Use the Ignore button and you never need to hear from that person again

    S&W to Purchase Savage

    The deal was finalized on the 21st. It gave s&w a strong foothold in the hunting rifle market among other things. Mostly financial I am sure-somehow it’s always about the money. I don’t have a problem with the deal-

    QL Request please? 24" 7mm08, 145LRX going for 64K? Thanks!

    I’m a 7mm-08 nerd I guess but like you, I still love my magnums. I really like the look of that rifle, I hope it’s a solid shooter for you, good luck!

    Load development for hunting rifle

    I don’t see the problem. Adjust your turret -I wouldn’t even touch the elevation on it if it was me. Then and go kill a deer. Even at 200 you will still put all your shots inside a softball-which coincidentally is the size of a deers heart. At 300 you are still inside -well you get the...

    2026 Hunting Season

    My buck-rather small but will accomplish my plans nicely. 28 nosler and 175 ablr, shot was 250 off quad sticks, kind of a no brainer except I had to sneak the bullet through a gap in the aspens. It was a neat experience and I got the trailer out before the expected rain and snow- Entry...

    2026 Hunting Season

    Hunted with my oldest daughter on Saturday in south east utah. All private land, difficult tag to draw and of Course she drew it on a year when she was pregnant. Her husband was out of state at a funeral so I got to be the guide. Shot was 275 years off sticks. He was going nowhere but needed...

    Ruger eliminating several gun lines

    Why are we listening to the turkeys opinion? Is he some sort of insider or employee or just someone trying to have a hot take to make himself look smarter?

    Federal fusion?

    Don’t look at the holes in the skin, open the animals and visualize what the bullet hit and what damage it caused. Hunters that no longer gut those animals are missing this part of the equation-what did the bullet hit and do?! There are several common bulet review guys on YouTube. The vortex...

    Federal fusion?

    I shot a Nebraska whitetail with one but I can’t recall which deer it was-the problem of switching back and forth on favorite bullets in favorite rifles. I do remember we started using the fusion bullets because they were cheap to practice with but they shot so well that we continued using...

    Federal fusion?

    My 7mm-08 preferred the 120 to the 140 and the performance was flawless. This is my daughter’s first mule deer. Somewhere in the 300 yard range and passed through right behind the shoulder. I really like the fusion bullets. I use the 150 ablr from this rifle most of the time because I often...

    trailer brake control

    Mine is a 2020 Chevy and my favorite truck of the 4 or so I have owned. I do remember wiring in the first ever Tekonsha brake control on a 1975 Chevy. It was a big deal in the 90’s when I could just plug it in under the dash. Today’s innovations make it so easy even my wife can do it-or I...
