game is color blind, they dont know orange from blue. birds can see color. wearing orange is akin to wearing a seat belt. you may never need it, but if you do and don't have it on the toll can be heavy. do you think your vitals will look any different than a deer or elk's once a bullet...
Mark Bansner, Adamstown Pa. I have 2 he built. A 35 Whelen and a 338-06. Small shop but one of the best. Seriously, he invented and manufactured the turkey choke and began the dedicated turkey shotgun builds. Thats where he got his start in the custom gun building. He has been building...
I spend my spare money buying guns. When the country/world really does go bonkers, the only thing that people will want..and need, will be a gun. crypto and the like will become "virtually" worthless...pun intended. gold will likely still be of some value as was proven in the great depression...
bowhuntercoop, I got the same exact truck, color and all. Mine is a 2003 with currently 111,000 on it with the HO 5.9 diesel with 305hp/555 ft lbs torque. I bought it from my uncle who also garaged it and only used it to tow a 28' camper trailer. I bought it from him 5 years ago for 15K with...
best optics deal on the site. these are every bit the optical quality as a pair of new el's and a better feel in the hand and better build quality. i have both so i can say so with experience and w/o bias.
I wonder how the top military snipers shooting 100's to 1000's of yards for the past 75+ years got by so well without them? one shot one kill too. maybe they were and are just better shooters.
slc's have their place too as they use a specific glass coatings color spectrum to highlight "game" brownish coloration over the surrounding greenery in many hunting environments. built specific for hunting applications vs the "birder" requirements.
everyones eyes are different. i own 2021 and 2022 el 10x42 and el 12x50 and have looked thru the 10x and 12x nl's and just can't see any better optical quality and certainly nothing anywhere near worth the upcharge, and a bit more fov isn't either. nor am i concerned that much about a few...
two happy days for a canoe owner. the day you get it and the day you sell it. hence, a $2200 canoe for $600. that guy will be happy to get rid of it. will you be happy to see it sit mostly unused when the money is better used elsewhere?
always make sure you have a plumber, a carpenter and an electrician in your "friend" circle. always. if i were you, just look for a handyman in your area. they will get it done at a lot less cost than the "pro" and you will never see any difference...and they can pull a permit just as well...
Your IRA, 401(k), annuities, pensions, soc sec and savings/CD's etc......all are assets that produce income. If you put enough away during your working years, you won't need rental/income producing properties or a job when you retire (unless you just want one, which is certainly...
