    Do you have confidence in electronic targets for zeroing?

    I'll go ahead and say that I do not, but maybe it's all in my head. We have a 100 yard state run range here in GA that uses electronic targets, and I have given up trying to get accurate feedback from those targets, as a confirmed zeroed rifle will walk all around the target in ways that make...

    Has anyone used Sportsmatch T084 rings with a Credo HX 2.5-15x42 scope? Clearance?

    I am going to be purchasing another Tikka rifle, and this go around, I am thinking about trying Sportsmatch T084 rings with my Credo Credo HX 2.5-15x42 scope. In my experience, because the magnification adjustment ring on the Credo scope extends out pretty far, clearance on a Tikka receiver has...

    Sold PSA Complete 18" 6.5 Grendel Upper With or Without Leupold VX-R Optic

    Up for sale is a PSA 18" 6.5 Grendel complete upper. It has less than 20 rounds through it. I thought that I was going to get into Grendel to hog hunt, but with my work schedule, that ain't happening. The only use it has seen has been sighting in the Leupold VX-R Patrol optic to be dead on at 50...

    Steiner Predator 8 2-16x42 Experience?

    This scope has my attention, but I haven't been able to run across much firsthand experience. I am using the Trijicon Credo HX 2.5-15x42 right now, which is a very reliable scope for a great price. However, the Trijicon reticle is a little fine for my old eyes and I'm not a huge fan of how the...

    Sold Leupold VX-5HD 3-15x44 CDS ZL2 Fire Dot Duplex

    This scope has served me well. Not a lot of action in the field, but has seen two long-range shooting classes ringing steel out to 600 yards. I have the itch to try a FFP scope and I may venture into Leupold's MK5 line. Not sure yet. However, I am not looking for trades. Overall, this scope...

    All around midweight boot recommendations?

    Yeah I know - another boot recommendation request thread, but bear with me. I'm trying to get off this boot merry-go-round. The bottom line is that I don't want too much boot for my application and I don't want something that is too lightweight in the event that I need a little "extra" due to...

    Sold Crispi Guide GTX Uninsulated Boots Size 12

    Up for sale is a lightly used pair of Crispi Guide GTX Uninsulated boots in size 12 that I bought brand new from Black Ovis last year. I used them lightly in the GA woods for a couple of months to break them in and then used them on a short elk hunting trip in Wyoming. That's it. So some...

    Affordable brush pants with multiple pockets?

    I am going to be doing some swamp hog hunting in GA here soon. So for the most part, we're talking pants tucked inside rubber boots and what I anticipate to be pretty inhospitable territory, warm weather. I have pair of FL Sawbuck pants as a fallback, and I like them a lot, but they don't have...

    AR15 Hog Optic?

    I am considering putting an optic on my AR15 to hunt hogs. I anticipate shots ranging from up close and personal to 100 yards. My eyes aren't so great, so I feel like my current red dot wouldn't cut it. Ideally, I'm looking for something like a 1-4x or 1-6x, lightweight, low profile scope with a...

    IMHO, the best cut of the elk is...

    The shank. I am a new elk hunter, having killed my first elk in Nov. I have really enjoyed the other cuts of elk, particularly the tenderloin and backstrap. However, I finally took a rear shank out of the freezer, and after thawing it a bit, cut it into 4 sections with a reciprocating saw...

    Elk pot roast - what is your experience with the final product?

    I am new to the elk game, having killed my first elk last month. This weekend, I am going to brown off an elk roast in a heavy pot, and then I'll put it in the oven at around 275 for as many hours as is needed to fall apart. I'm a good cook, so I'm not particularly concerned with how to throw...

    Has anyone tried Umai dry bags for aging?

    I'll hopefully be bringing home a (dead) cow elk next month. For the hell of it, I purchased some Umai dray age bags after reading very favorable reviews on the internet (mostly related to fattier cuts of beef). While I wouldn't use this method on better elk cuts like backstop, I figured that...

    Tikka barrel only - difference between right and left handed?

    So I have looked around for an answer to this question, but I am not 100% sure yet. I will be selling a factory new Tikka barrel off of a left handed .270 Tikka rifle. Now my assumption is that there's almost no way Tikka would invest money in manufacturing left-hand specific barrels, so my...

    Darn tough boot height with 10"boots?

    I am considering buying some darn tough midweight hunter socks in boot height. My boots are Crispi Guides and are 10" high. For any of those with experience, will the boot height socks work fine with 10" boots without the socks shrinking or naturally pulling down too much?

    Hard rifle cases - foam configuration strategy?

    I have a hard rifle case coming from Harbor Freight soon - a Pelican knock off that is supposed to be quite nice. I will be using it for air travel. When it comes to configuring and cutting out the foam myself, I'm looking for any suggestions on a strategy. Right now, I'll obviously cut out a...

    Finding a guided WY cow elk hunt without a tag in hand?

    I'll try to spare you guys from the long and drawn out version of the story, but I was originally planning on doing my first elk hunt (cow elk) in 2022. The plan was to do a guided cow elk hunt for my first elk hunt to learn the ropes, and then go DIY after that. This is because my hunting...

    Any Prime Day down jackets worth a look?

    I am admittedly a novice in the down jacket department, but I have done a fair amount of research. Looking at the Amazon Prime Day offerings, it looks like there are some Eddie Bauer and Columbia jackets in there, among others. For those who might have more specific knowledge of down jackets...
