    Japan made Burris Signature HD latest model selling for $207 on Amazon

    I received my 15x today. Also stamped made in Japan. Compared them to my Athlon Cronus 15s and the Burris had a slight edge on clarity and chromatic aberration. However, the Burris's focus wheel is terrible. I think I'll keep them and sell the Athlons but at full price I don't think it would...

    Japan made Burris Signature HD latest model selling for $207 on Amazon

    I just ordered the 15s, paid 528 bucks and they have a MSRP of 960 and street price of 799. I have the 15x athlons now and I'll return if they are not better. a lot of the hands on reviews of the 8s and 10s say Japan so worth a shot at this price. Edit: after ordering I did a quick search and...

    Charles Daly

    I dig it, I went with a light weight flip flop on my 20ga but a limbsaver is a good idea that 12 will kick like a mule. Keep us updated with the rail id love to do the same with mine it is my biggest complaint with the shotgun.

    Chinese scoopx bino reviews?

    No experience with the "scoopx" binos but I have a "svbony" 8x32 after reading reviews and they are great for the money every bit as good as any of the name brand stuff from China though not as good as the Japanese stuff or stuff from Europe. I have 3 total that I use for loaners and in the...

    What to do with a pre war Model 70 Winchester

    I am going to go against the crowd and recommend doing whatever you want with it that would make you use it and not worry about the value because you should never sell it anyway if it was gifted. I have a model 99 I got from my grandfather and had the stock engraved with his name and put a...

    Canoe vs Kayaks for Fishing/General Use

    I love my kayak for fishing, I started with a cheap Costco one and over the years have sold and upgraded and now I'm in a Hobie and wouldn't trade it for anything. That said if I didn't stand when I fish I'd go with a canoe. My father in law loves the old town pack canoes. I think he has a nice...

    Charles Daly

    I bought a Charles Daly 101 20ga for a run and gun turkey setup. Its definitely a cheaply made shotgun but I haven't had any issues with my 3 shots per year. Its a lot nicer to carry then my Beretta and I won't care when I eventually crash my bike with my shotgun on it. I spray painted it, put...

    Athens Archery closes doors

    I'm not going to pretend that I'm smart enough to know if Athens was doing patent infringement or not. I've never owned a Athens but I will say the accutune was "Patent Pending" according to their website, we'll never know the similarity but I did hear that Bowtech sent a cease and desist which...

    Model 70 to 7PRC?

    I'm building a rifle off a PF M70 right now and second what Form says. In fact mine is even branded as a Sears Ted Williams model 53 so even cheaper donor. The downside is everything cost more then a 700 based action. I'm doing an 8 twist .270 xcaliber barrel, Bansner stock, trued action and...

    Zeiss v4 or Nighforce shv?

    I have a v4 and like it. If I wasn't poor I would have gotten a Nightforce

    Athens Archery closes doors

    Looks like they closed due to a lawsuit on their accutune cams being to similar to the deadlock system. It's a real bummer seems tough for new bow manufacturers to really break into the market

    Alpha x 33 too heavy for backcountry hunt?

    I switched to the "quiverizer" this year to save weight. Bow shoots just as good as before and I lost the weight of my stabilizer

    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    Even if it did stop at 10.5 why do you need penetration beyond the vitals? Shouldn't the goal be to cause the most devastation in the vital area?
