    Fierce Firearms Disaster

    I know other people who get this or that custom made gun only to have problems. I've seen this with rifles, AR rifles, and pistols. Meanwhile i get guns off of the shelf at my local gun store and have no issues. My only preference is American made namebrand guns such as Ruger, Remington, Savage...

    Swarovski EL - Overhyped?

    Saving up my Cabela credit card points for NL's. Did have EL's from 2004. Upgraded to the range finding EL's. But i do not like the optic quality when compared to non range finding EL's. Have looked through the NL's several times and they are amazing. With that being said, you need to compare...

    Stupid poll: Which rifle?

    Take both but plan on hunting with .300. If you drop it and knock the scope off then you got a back up in the truck. Fatrascal.

    Boot recommendations needed

    I'm a kenetrek mountain extreme man. I'm probably on my 10th pair. I keep one pair for hunting and one pair that i wear everywhere. I also have a pair of lineman extremes by kenetrek. Thats how much i love them. Been wearing them probably around 15 to 20 years.

    Am I stupid not to take a spotting scope on an early season high country buck hunt?

    I would not ever be without a spotter. I absolutely love spotting with bino's on a tripod but it cannot do the job of a spotter. No way no how. I find lots of critters with binos but after i've looked at everything, i then take out the spotter and find more critters. Thats why i'm there. To find...

    I started out with the ats 80 in the early 2000's. I too am a backpack hunter and after awhile i upgraded and went wiyh the atm 65. Then again later to the atx 65. I have never missed the extra size or extra light gathering ability of an 80mm when backpack hunting. I used to owne the 95mm but...
