    Double barrel shotgun brands - your recommendations or warnings...

    Good SXS, consider an AYA No2 (Spanish) unsure if they are available in the US or an No4, usually a bit cheaper. I have both Beretta (687 SPIII) and Browning (725 Sporter), both U/O's BUT both are too nice to drag thru the scrub chasing Quail and Pheasant so I have a turkish 20ga for that. not a...

    Rifle Scopes Delta Stryker HD 4.5-30x56

    Having used both Stryker and Leica PRS. I liked the Stryker hd turret design but not the reticle. Leica glass is definitly a step up. I prefer plain reticles so in the end went with Leica and Ballistic reticle. Only thing i wish it had were locking turrets a la the Stryker

    Hunting & Fishing Looks like I need a dog

    Our latest pointer pup is a european import. 100% working lines both sides of the family. So different (in a good way) from the majority of the local "show" breeders. She is awesome. Her father

    Krg bravo likes and dislikes?

    Just brought the SA one for my SAUM. If I like it then may replace the XLR Evolution on my 300Norm Mag as I just can't get comfortable shooting it

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Sharpening your blades?

    Tried all sorts of sharpenng gadgets. Ended up buying 2 good water stones and taught myself how to use them. Took a while but works and on every blade. lansky I had was hopeless on large blades and filleting knives.

    Me too although I hated the floating dot for a start but now I love it. Need another scope now for my other rifle gonna try somethng other than Leupold as I have them on all my other rifles.

    Rifle Scopes So, what about Leupold Mark 5 ?

    I think Illuminated reticles appear a bit thicker than the non illuminated. I have an illuminated TMR reticle and my shooting mate has a non illuminated. Non illuminated is definitely a finer reticule

    Rifle Scopes Leica PRS or Steiner M7Xi

    Mainly because these 2 I can easily source at almost "reasonable" pricing. Already have a Mk5 so wanted to go with euro glass this time. both have similar mag ranges and FFP with slightly different reticles. PRS is not a thing here so most shooting is long range steel, paper targets or when...
