    Ideal pair of predator rifles, what would you pick?

    Before looking into something more predator-specific like a .22-250 or .204 Ruger etc... if you happen to already have a .223 Rem, I'd just first suggest you try that Hornady NTX 35gr load (@4000fps!) out of it, and then decide for yourself if you feel you need more cartridge or not. And I've...

    The do it all self-defense pistol

    The dovetail in the back, is it directional like most are? If I remember correctly if you're trying to remove... I believe it's that you want to drift with the barrel pointing away from you... over to your RightHand side, correct? I seem to recall the dovetail groove is supposed to be slightly...

    What size spotter for spring bear?

    Easy-Peasy. Just go into Google Satellite View and do RtClick and fuss with measuring the distance of points you can plop down on the Satellite image it shows you.

    What size spotter for spring bear?

    The glass on those Bushnell Legend HD's is actually very good. I happen to have the 10x42 Monocular of that line.

    The do it all self-defense pistol

    DITTO!! Though I'm currently training myself to get used to them <Barf!>... I HATE.. with a Passion.... the U-notch outline on the rear sight of Glocks. 3-Dot combat is where it's at, for defensive use anyway. I bought a Tijicon set of Night-Sights for it, just haven't yet got around to...

    Ultralight spotter?

    I recently picked up a used Maven S.2 12-27 x 56mm : https://mavenbuilt.com/collections/spotting-scopes/products/s-2-12-27x56 Definitely worth a look!

    Masculinity and Caliber Choice

    How much does that How Mini in 6mm ARC weigh before optics mounted? Looking for another Ultralight setup, and this 6mm ARC... and it's ability to also fit in AR-15 uppers, is definitely raising my eyebrow!

    What size spotter for spring bear?

    Grin and bear it, and pop for the better glass man. If you have to, be patient and keep checking the Used Gear listings on here. ESPECIALLY for binos! It's even more important for Binos IMO. Because on the better binos, the Depth-of-Field of the image, how much of where you're pointing the...

    Masculinity and Caliber Choice

    If a person wants good practice shooting for Hunting? HIGHLY RECOMMEND Go out shooting Ground Squirrels ("Poppin' Squeaks!") with a .17 HMR off some shooting sticks in field conditions. In the neighborhood of 75-100yds away. They are these nice fairly small targets. And while they're not...

    What size spotter for spring bear?

    Speaking strictly glassing, regardless of species, I also have the Vortex 11-33x50. BUT.. for me.. what I came to find was that I didn't like that when I decided something needed a closer look, I always had to commit to memory a nearby larger object... because then I'd have to lower the tripod...

    Masculinity and Caliber Choice

    SHORT ANSWER: Because they had an experience with that caliber, which was more than likely due to their shot placement not being great, and the experience "soured" them to that caliber. MY EXAMPLE: Like the very first coyote I ever shot... it was this close-quarters thing that was a jump-shot...

    Zeiss Conquest HD 8x32 - best all around binocular?

    Now that they've got the SFL's man... go get a 10x42 ConquestHD, and you'll have 99% of your hunting optics needs covered. Like I believe already said, liked em soo much I bought the 15's too, for those places where I want 15's instead. Which is only is large Arid wide-open rolling Desert...

    Trials bike vs dirt bike/TW for hunting.

    Have you over tried to do a hillclimb on a 90? With you and a Deer on something of that small of size? Wouldn't be fun.
