    Swarovski 25-50 deal?

    I just ordered a 25-50 off Amazon for $559, which is cheaper than I've seen it anywhere. It's odd, in that it is listed as a 20-50, but the order shows 25-50. May be some catch, but it's supposed to be delivered Tuesday so I'll know by then...

    .243 cartridge in a 6.5?

    As you might guess, it does not work out well. I had 4 guns I was sighting in and put an ELD-X .243 in a 6.5 PRC. It blew the plastic bolt shroud into my face and exploded the magazine. I was able to put the magazine back together but the shroud was destroyed. A bit of a gouge on my face...

    Celestron Rant

    A few years ago I bought two sets of the Nature DX binoculars for my grandsons and they were rarely used until I took one of the boys hunting this fall. I looked through the binoculars and saw that they were completely out of collimation. I thought there was no problem because this was in the...

    Lithium Ion for a FoxPro?

    I use 10 rechargeable nimh batteries in my Banshee and they work OK but take forever to charge and there is no level indicator to tell if they need to be charged or if I'm overcharging them. FoxPro has an expensive ($85) lithium ion battery but they offer VERY little information on it. I can't...

    OnX overseas

    On a trip through SE Asia I couldn’t figure out how to use google maps with no cell service so I gave onX a try, certain that it would be useless. It wasn’t. I was able to download maps just like always and have a great satellite view of the city. I know there are probably better systems for...

    Misfire, the book about the NRA

    There’s going to be a group that claims the book is liberal propaganda, but it’s not. There are insiders expressing their frustration at the gross waste of funds (including Ollie North). There is no anti-gun rhetoric but I guarantee you’ll be pissed, especially if you’ve made a donation after...

    Is a .22 ok for elk?

    I don’t plan to shoot 600 yards and I have the CCI rounds so I should be good right? I realize that I may have to pump 6-10 rounds into it, but since I have a Ruger 10-22, and I’ve practiced a lot, I think I can handle it. Would there be a caliber that is more effective!

    Swarovski 8x30 to replace 8x32's?

    I have some older Nikon 8x32 HG's that are very nice but weigh in at about 26 ounces. I'd like to have something smaller for travel and hikes. Has anyone made the switch to the 8x30's and regretted it? One important element I think is that they were upgraded significantly in 2017 and so I'm...

    This is designed for rapid expansion on close shots (skeet). Great choke, but I sold the gun some time ago and found this floating around later. Here is a description of it; https://www.fieldandstream.com/briley-diffusion-chokes/
