    WTB Quality spotting scope

    Have a friend helping me find a good spotter. Local stores here in Helena carry some brands but ones like Kowa, Maven, Meopta and such are definitely harder to try out. Ive had a couple in the past and one thing or another didn’t pan out so I either returned or sold them. Looking in the 60/65...

    Truck help please...which 4WD system for the money thatb has Auto

    With todays technology and such in vehicles I find it almost useless to ever use 4wd unless I am off pavement. I have a fully loaded 2015 Sierra Denali, it takes me like 3 mins to turn off all the BS safety features just so I can go have fun in the ice/snow/mud. My suggestions: Don't worry...

    Downhill knee discomfort.

    Don't neglect your hips, those muscles are also very important to your knees. I had bi-lateral miscues repairs done over winter and I am still recovering. Outlook doesn't look good for Utah opener for me. I can't walk 1000 yards on flat land w/o my knees swelling up. I also started have...

    Quantity vs Quality

    One thing I try to do is keep the same scope (brand/model) on every rifle. I don't do PRS stuff or fling lead/copper 1000+yards so the typical 4-12 mag range works for me. This keeps me from re-learning every time I go shoot. As for the reticules and such. As for the guns, I have a 7mm-08 and...

    Determining maximum range

    Pretty easy, the manufacture should list the min velocity for max expansion. Determine your ballistics and find that velocity, if it is 764 yards, then that is your range. If it is 1011 yards then so be it. No matter what you should never (IMHO) shoot beyond your comfort zone. I practice to 500...

    Yo Utah! Need to pick a unit for archery elk

    Bruce, as a guy who has been hunting the North slope since 2010 and been around the few other areas local to me I will give you what I know. Box Elder: Worthless and 90% private, low land Ogden: Limited access, lots of private, tons of roads, tons of road hunters Morgan Rich: Same as the Ogden...
