    Vortex Razor HD old models

    I picked up the 16x48 spotter and vortex carbon summit tripod from optics planet for $1,000. This was back in september. I negotiated a little bit with them. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

    Blacktail hunting help.

    Wilderness areas are a good bet, just be prepared to deal with meat in hot weather. If you want to get a general season B tag that is good for archery and rifle you need to Make the purchase early, like in July. There is a limited number of tags and anymore they sell out before the season...

    Fat Guy Friendly Sleeping bags for cold weather below zero F

    Bag is plenty long enough, but I can barely get it zipped around my shoulders. The bag is certainly well made, and pretty light considering its size and temp rating. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    Fat Guy Friendly Sleeping bags for cold weather below zero F

    I am six foot and 300 pounds. I have the zero degree long wide side zip slick bag from kifaru. It is very difficult for me to close the zipper fully. I am looking at maybe doing the quilt thing. Center zip might be easier to use for a bug guy. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    Any California B zone Roksliders heading to the Marbles?

    Make sure you can get to the trailhead. A few of them are basically inaccessible due to some road closures. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    Vortex diamondback on sale

    I see Cabelas has a sale on the older diamondback binoculars. A guy can get a set of 12x50 for around $145. Wondering how they compare to other entry level glass. Anybody have experience with these? Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    spotting scope: leupold vs vortex

    Kowa tech claims their scopes are made entirely in japan. Leuoold claims everything but the glass in their gold ring products is domestic, glass comes from Philippines or Germany. I don't know.

    spotting scope: leupold vs vortex

    Called vortex customer support with some questions, including country of origin. I don't think I can bring myself to spend that kind of money on something made in China. I am taking a close look at the Kowa scope, those seem like a good scope for the money, and not made in China.

    spotting scope: leupold vs vortex

    Great information. Sounds like the straight vs angled question comes down to personal preference or what a person has become accustomed to.
