    Bino Harness

    I could iron one on but that’s it.

    Bino Harness

    Wow that looks really nice. Congrats on a successful project. I’m definitely not that creative.

    6.5 CM or .243

    Several years ago I used my 300 RUM on a few goats and extended ranges and it was definitely overkill but when the winds are blowing on the prairie it’s nice to have a high BC Bullet moving a a good pace. Unless you have a fast twist barrel on the 243 so you can run the 103 eldx or Berger I...

    Maven 11x45

    Nice catch. I forgot about that program. Sure is nice to try before you buy and the chance to save a little coin.

    Maven 11x45

    I’ve only had a chance to look through one of their straight spotting scopes. Focus adjustment was super smooth and the eyepiece was nice. Glass looked pretty good compared to my Swaro when going from one to the other.

    $1000 binos

    Another vote for the Meopta if you can’t swing Swaro, Leica or Zeiss. The Cabelas instinct by Meopta have locking diopter which is a must have for me. I was sold on buying some el’s but ended up getting SLC’s since they fit way better. If they don’t fit really good you won’t use them near as...

    First youth gun advice/input/sizing

Last fall I moved him up to a 6.5 Creedmoor with a brake an he managed to take his first deer with it and...

    Rifle weight

    Last year I picked up a Seekins Havak in 6.5 creed and topped it with an NXS. I believe it’s just over 9lbs and seems about the perfect weight. My other rigs are 11 & 13lbs and just too much to lug around. If your shy away from the magnums a 9lb gun is pretty pleasant to shoot especially with...

    Bushnell LMSS vs Cronus Tactical Spotters

    I was able to get some more time through the lmss and am really liking the h-32 reticle. Think it will be better than the reticle in the Cronus though. I’ll try to give your shop a call tomorrow.

    Bushnell LMSS vs Cronus Tactical Spotters

    I’m looking to get a new spotter for PRS and have it narrowed down to the Bushnell LMSS with H32 reticle or the Athlon Cronus tactical spotter. They basically look the same on the outside and I’ve only looked through the LMSS. Does anyone know if they are optically the same or if one edges the...

    New scope purchase

    Have you thought about a VX5HD? I know it’s more money but the turrets lock, have a zero stop, glass is really nice and it’s still pretty light.
