    Hunting optics, What do you use?

    I do own a pair of Swarovski slc 10x40 but they came later in life after suffering with garbage for much too long. I also have a couple Swarovski 3.5x18x44 scopes on rifles I use for longer range shooting. Love them! But I realized at some point that leupold was most likely my price point...

    Too Early??? 2025 hunt plans

    Utah followed Wyo. in raising prices for non residents and I agree with the policy. It is one way to limit the number of applicants and retain tags for residents and puts more money back into conservation projects, studies etc. im sure there’s more to it but avoid politics with lusty passion...

    Too Early??? 2025 hunt plans

    Just put me and the wife and kids in for Utah tags. Dedicated tag for deer for me. Point for my wife and rifle for the rest. Not much hope but bighorn and mtn goat. A couple of us for limited entry elk. I just bought a point as I have something cooking for this summer, you’ll hear about it...

    Franchi Instinct L

    I apologize, I neglected to follow up on this thread. They are tight at first but loosen up nicely with time and use. My 16 arrived and I put it to the test on the most expensive duck hunt I’ve been on-rented a blind on private property. Me and the little girl with the 20 gauge limited up. I...

    The pictures bullet looks like a Sierra gameking to my eyes. A very good hunting bullet and at that price a phenomenal plinking bullet

    Franchi Instinct L

    I don’t know the model and not home to check-BUT. . . I bought a Franchi 20 gauge after repeated disappointing experiences with beretta. The 20 quickly became my daughter’s favorite. I use it when she isn’t with me. I like the weight, the wood is nice, the rounded grip is pleasing and the...

    First time to the skeet range

    I’m a big fan of Franchi shotguns. I have one daughter that loves to shoot trap and skeet. She handles the 20 ga pretty well. Fairly cheap family time

    Vortex customer service

    I’ve had good experiences with leupold, Swarovski and vortex. Sadly I’ve had to send more equipment to vortex than the others and won’t buy vortex anymore. I’m glad yours was a positive experience

    OK Nosler what is this about?????

    I got the e mail this morning and I liked what I saw. Would like to try them in one of my 7mm-08 rifles, or maybe the .30-06 rifles. If it opens like the pictures but still holds together, I would be very happy to use them

    Putting down livestock

    We used to use a mobile butcher. They dropped livestock with a .22 lr as you said, in the X. Then cut the throat. I never saw them miss or fail to drop an animal where it stood. When we had an old bull to slaughter they pulled out a .223, dropped him on the spot, cut the throat, all business...

    What Company Now Has?

    I was thinking I’ve had a couple questions that were handled by Barnes via email. Last time I dealt with them I was looking for load info and I suggested they produce an up to date reloading book. The response was that all current information was available “On Line.” Interestingly Speer just...
