    Razor HD 4000 GB Review

    A while back, I got a chance to test out a set of Vortex Fury AB binos and was pretty impressed. So when I saw that they had a new CRF in the Razor lineup that included full environmentals, a new ballistics engine, their wind capture system, and some form of a connection to a Kestrel, I was...

    Sig Kilo 8k Review

    Introduction A few years back, Sig made quite a splash with the release of their 2400 ABS CRF. It boasted ranging capabilities that were impressive for its time, if not class leading, but its real competitive advantage was its internal full Applied Ballistics suite, which made it arguably the...

    WTS Weatherby Accuguard

    Selling my 300 win mag Accuguard to fund a new build. This is the original Accuguard when they were a limited run item, not a regular catalog item. It has a 24" barrel and is lighter than what is listed for the current Accuguard IIRC. Barrel has an estimated 850 rounds through it and shoots...

    Vortex Fury HD 5000 AB Review

    Whenever a new rangefinder comes out, the first thing I usually look at these days is what does it do with the data. There are a lot of RF’s out there, and most of the flagship models for each company are doing pretty well in the ranging department. No, they usually do not hit deer at their...

    Rebuildable Salomons?

    I have had some injuries to my right ankle that surgery could not fix, so have had some difficulties every year when elk and md hunting in colorado. I have been wearing some Crispi Nevadas, but this year, I bought some Salomon 4d's to just use as daily shoes to replace some Merrel's I had, and...

    New Rangefinders and Optics from Leica

    Leica has ramped up their rangefinder iterations and released some significant improvements to their line. Yes, there is more distance, in the case of the CRF, lots more. But the changes are actually a lot more significant from what I am seeing because they include improvements to a lot of the...

    New BDX scopes and updates from Sig

    New BDX Gear from Sig Sig has made some additions and changes to their BDX line for 2020 that I thought I would pass on. They are committed to the system, as it plays to their strengths in integrating technology and optics and I think we’ll see more and more products with this capability as...

    Sig 3000 BDX Review

    Introduction When Sig released their BDX line, I was pretty excited by the capabilities of the 2400, especially in terms of it’s connectivity and price point. Shortly after, I learned that a bino version was coming out, but I was not all that interested, figuring the cost would be entirely too...

    Biggest cause of 'fliers'?

    I have been working up a load for my rifle. Before I continue, let me say that it is entirely possible that the fliers were caused by user error, my rest/bag setup may not be the best, nor my bench technique. But in testing the load, I found with both groups I shot that day with this load, 1...

    Sig BDX Scope Review

    The BDX system is precipitated on several concepts. Speed, connectivity, integration, flexibility, choice. All of these are achieved through the application of technology. For some shooters, this is something they don’t want. Others are comfortable with some, but not all, of what the system...

    Tall Bipod recommendation...need recommendation

    We use the tall Harris on our rifles so that we can shoot seated from the ground off bipods. With a pack in your lap supporting the back of the rifle, I find this a very accurate solution for long range shooting in the field. It's great for, really, any shots. The issue I have is that...

    New Leica 2800.COM - Initial Hands on Review

    Back in the early fall, I was asked by Leica to test and provide feedback on a new their new rangefinder, the 2800.COM, that was announced today at SHOT. As I understand it, mine was one of the first 5 built and brought into the US, so was not a pre-production, but earlier still in the process...

    Leica 2700b review update

    With the start of the hunting season, I had a chance to do a little more testing with my 2700b and thought I would pass on a few interesting things I observed. As far as reach goes, I got ahold of a tripod mount made by Leica. Very nicely made, it allowed me to test some ranging out at Big...

    Tripods : 3 section vs 4 section, packability and stability...

    I am trying to select a tripod and have come to a bit of a decision I can't get past. For arguements sake, lets leave it narrowed to two different Manfrotto 190 Carbon tripods. Height, weight and weight rating are all the same. The only difference...one has 3 sections and collapses down to...

    Sig puts the electro in electro-optics

    Just got back from NRA where I was able to meet with a contact at Sig and spend some time going over their newest RF/Scope offerings. He is going to send me access to their Google drive file with more details (I could not remember everything he showed and told me), so I 'll have more to post on...
