    Binocular 8x42 for glasses wearer......do you normally remove your glasses?

    Never owned a pair of binoculars for hunting. Anytime I've tried binoculars I have always removed my glasses to get a comfortable sight picture. Do you guys usually remove your glasses when glassing with binoculars, or have you found a pair that allow you to leave your glasses on? Any...

    Can one get a good quality scope for less by going with a heavier scope?

    I know lightweight is all the rage these days and I'm sure you pay a premium for it. Also, read where some scopes have gone to using plastics rather than metal to save weight. Just wondering if you can get a really good quality point and shoot scope for a decent price, but might be considered a...

    Copper bullets and "sweet spot" calibers. Can some push copper bullets too fast?

    I've asked a lot of questions on here about calibers and copper bullets. This will be my last post about copper bullets! Most said copper bullets should be pushed fast. Now I've read that some experienced petals breaking off, i think it was with a 7mm Rem. Can some calibers push copper bullets...

    Blaze Orange ball cap for big heads

    Know where I can get a Blaze Orange ball cap that fits an XXL head? Frustrating that so many companies sell one size fits all caps. Juts took a chance on some UA ones and they do not fit well at all. I don't even like their XXL stretch fit ones. I HATE tight fitting hats.

    Which calibers tend to suffer the most with factory ammo when it comes to measured chrono speed vs advertised speed on the ammo box?

    Saw someone posting that a 7mm was shooting significantly slower with a certain ammo than advertised speed. Do you find certain calibers are better or worse for this generally speaking?

    Thoughts on new Bushnell Elite 4500 2.5-10 x 40 scopes?

    Didn't have much luck asking on another forum. I see the new Elite 4500s have a better eye relief and have the Exo-Barrier, supposedly a newer RainGuard, that some people were impressed with in the past. You can get these for super cheap right now with a rebate. Just wondering if anyone has...

    Retro Style.....Mammut Champ/Courmayeur and Sporthill 3SP pants

    10 to 15 years ago a lot mountain hunters raved about these pants. The Sporthill 3SP is a very unique pant. Kind of like a thick jogging pant, but made of polypro and spandex. I've owned a set of Courmayeur which I believe were made of Scholler fabric. Never did own the Mammut Champ which I...

    Have you ever experienced complete failure of Down Insulation?

    Just wondering if you guys have ever actually experienced complete wet out with Down pieces while in the field. Was it all at once in a rain storm or falling in a creek? Was it spread out over a period of a few damp days. I've also heard that it never really loses all of its insulating...

    Newer "Active Insulation" vs Fleece + Wind Shirt

    Is the newer "active insulation" like Polartec Alpha and the Patagonia Nano-Air type jackets really any better than a fleece plus breathable wind jacket like a BD Alpine Start? I've been trying to research this. As far as I can tell the active insulation dries slightly faster and is lighter...

    Does a 130 grain bullet in .308 give near identical performance to a .270?

    Looking at the ballistics chart of a Barnes TTSX it looks like the factory 130 grain in .308 is even slightly flatter and faster than the .270. On game out to 400 yards is there really any difference? Seems these modern bullets have changed things up a lot. Never hear or read about how flat the...
