    AR-15 questions/help

    So I bought a Black Rain Ordnance SSP 5.56 AR the other day. I'm not a huge gun nut, so speak dummy to me please haha. Bought the gun for varmint, plinking, defense and just because I can. There's so many options for AR's that it's almost overwhelming. Gun is still bare bones just waiting for me...

    So I had my son and wife use the 6.5 Creedmoor this deer season. Both shot deer with the 143 grain ELD-X. Wife's deer was a completely broadside double lung and the sons was quartering away double lung into the off shoulder, both shots 150-160 yards. Each of their shots had the bullet defrag...

    Swarovski Z3 BT vs Z5 BT

    I recently won a Browning X bolt 6.5 Creedmoor. Looking to top it for $1,000-1,500. I can shoot groundhogs from my house out to 800 yards so that would probably be my very max yardage. This will primarily be a whitetail/mule deer gun with just a little target/groundhog shooting. I'm looking at...

    What can I do with a 6mm

    By no means a rifle tech person here......keep the tech talk dumbed down please. I have a nice Remington 700BDL in a 6mm. My dad gave it to me when I was young and now I would like to give it to my son for his 1st gun. It's getting harder and harder to find 6mm ammo so I was wondering if the gun...

    Looking to buy a new treadmill or incline trainer. Would like to keep it sub $2k. I've heard plenty bad about the Nordic Tracks (AKA Icon Fitness product) but really like the idea of 40% incline training.

    Accubonds vs E-tips

    What's the deal with the lack of accubond ammo on the market? I love my Nosler Trophy Grade in .300 mag 180 grain! But it's dang near impossible to find any ammo. I can find the e-tips but not the accubond. Anyone switch over to the e-tips? How do they perform compared to the accubonds? I do not...

    Goretex vs leather lined boot

    Lowa Tibets, Lowa Renegades, Meindl Hikers, Asolo 520 and Crispi Kanada all with goretex and all leaked within two years, some within a couple months. Two or three times a year I would use conditioners on them and clean them so it's not like I abused them. I'm tired of spending good money on...

    I have a REI half dome 2 person already but would like a roomier tent for mostly two people but occasionally three. 95% of its use would be summer scouting, camping and early fall bowhunts. I've been looking at the Tarptent cloudburst 3, Hilleberg Nallo 3(overkill?) and Anjan 3. Really like the...
