    Shotgun optics with slugs

    Red dot. No magnification needed. With everything under 100 yards you'll never use a variable nor will you have the time to adjust it in many cases. I'd go something short and easy to get acquisition on like a Vortex Crossfire or a Sig Romeo 5.

    Lightweight ruger american stock upgrade

    Boyd's has most of their lineup available for the RA. I just put a feather light thumbhole on mine in .223 and it is a huge improvement. Solid, stable, and a joy to shoot. For those that don't care for the thumbhole, their Pro varmint has a pretty vertical grip and the comb is pretty inline...

    350 Legend Thoughts?

    Sounds like the new 400 Legend is a good compromise. 25% more energy than the 350 Legend yet 20% less recoil than the 450 Bushmaster.

    Crowd Sourced Optics Comparison (CO area) ***Updated 3/9/24***

    I'd love to see the little Athlon spotter thrown in as a dark-horse. I've used the Cabela's version over the last year and have been pleased.

    Looking for advise on Conquest HD Alternative

    You might have not gotten the stock cups fully extended. There are 3 detents so 4 positions total. When new it feels like the cups won't extend any further than 2 clicks, but they will. You have to man handle them. Many people go to the extended cups without ever realizing they didn't get the...

    Maven vs Vortex

    If only it were that simple. There are 4-5 major glass makers for high end optics. Most have over 100 glass products in their optical glass catalog of varying grades. Then the glass makers and/or the optics maker both have proprietary coatings based on size and model. Add in the internals...

    Are Crispi still worth buying?

    I'll let you know in a couple years. Just picked up some West River 2.0's. Seems pretty stout so far. If you want to make a brand switch, Schnee's is currently having a great sale on 2022 and 2023 model hunting boots. They always get good reviews.

    SLC Habicht wb vs conquest hd

    The Conquests are really hard to beat for the money. Optics wise the Conquests probably sit between the HD SLC's and WB's. All three are very decent glass even in today's market.

    Vortex Viper HD vs Razor HD 10x42

    If you found them for $700, the Razors are tough to beat. Keep in mind several brands and retailers will have some Black Friday deals soon. Tract usually has a good holiday discount and their Tract bino's are on par with Razors, if not a touch better. Their warranty is solid as well.
