    Hunting & Fishing First Western Elk Hunt…Essential Gear/Clothing Advice Needed

    Lots of good advice above. Pay close attention to the items you will spend lots of hours in. Have quality head to toe base layers, I like merino wool. A quality sleeping setup, appropriate for the coldest typical weather expected. ^^ These two items can not possibly be overstated. Have...

    Rifle Scopes Hunting Scope suggestions

    The glass on the 2.5-10 is perfectly suited to anything that you might want a 10x scope for. The 4-16 has a slight edge, but it’s not enough to be an issue

    Subsonic 223 in a bolt gun. Shooting supressed

    Another option if you want to go down the rabbit trail, is 22 hornet. Most factory rifles have slow twist barrels that aren’t very sub friendly. But if you can find a 10 twist you will have some options with 55 ish grain bullets. But a 7-8 twist is better for 70+ grain bullets

    Night Vision Thermal repair

    It’s a Reap IR 35mm I was trying to avoid this turning into a bash fest on Trijicon as these threads have a tendency to go that route. They were polite and respectful just didn’t have any good options for repair in my circumstance. The only broken part according to them is the board. ($200.00)...

    Night Vision Thermal repair

    I’m curious if there is anyone who does or attempts thermal optics repair? The tech used in thermal scopes is not something I understand well enough to consider doing myself. I have an expensive thermal scope that needs repair and the manufacturer isn’t particularly interested.

    Rem 721 time to re-barrel, what caliber

    If a guy wanted readily available factory match ammo, any AI calibers are a poor choice( despite being fine choices otherwise) For the OP, 3006 is the easiest choice caliber wise. 308 / 6.5 cm may require a few rifle mods to feed perfectly but are great choices.

    I Spy New Baby Razor G3 4-24

    That reminds of USO back in the day. Not sure if they actually did “ build your own” but they had dozens of reticles they had used over the years and no one could say for sure what any given scope had. Mil ? Moa ? Iphy? Only God knows lol

    Rifle Scopes Hunting Scope suggestions

    My experience pretty much mirrors jbuck88. The NF 2.5-10 outperforms its specs. The 4-16 x42 ATACR is stellar and what I have on my long range hunting rifle. I’m planning to check out the mk4hd 2-10 and 4.5-18 soon as well.

    Looking at the Leupold Mk5

    The biggest advantages of the MK5 is the lower price and lower weight. The gen 3 razor is a good optic if the price and weight aren’t a concern.

    Trijicon rep on here ?

    Wondering if there is a Trijicon rep on here who wouldn’t mind fielding a question or two. I promise to be brief and courteous 🙂

    ZEISS LRP S3 4-25 For Hunting?

    For coyotes the S3 and razor both seem like too much. The razor is a boat anchor, the S3 has a tight eye box and 45 mils of elevation. Both are excellent optics but wouldn’t be my choice for hunting. The 4.5-18 mk4 would be my choice of the options listed. But I would generally prefer something...

    Precision Rifle Gear MPA Ultralite Experience

    Had one, it is well made and rigid. I find the Xlr to fit my needs much better for a med weight chassis. For true lightweight the hnt 26 is hard to beat

    USPS steals/loses Gunbroker pistol shipment. How many months until USPS pays the insurance claim?

    As mentioned above, insurance payout is 60 days from claim which is 2-4 weeks from sent date. Figure on 90 days if all goes well. A surprising amount of “lost” items get “found” mysteriously days before the payout date.
