    How cheap can you safely go on spotting scopes?

    Vortex Viper? Cabelas has them on sell for $499 and the reviews sound pretty good. Thoughts?

    How cheap can you safely go on spotting scopes?

    I am glad to have stumbled on to this. I also want a spotting scope but more for glassing deer from 800+ yards away and being able to count points and score them. Any suggestions? What power would be ideal for this?

    Manners Composite Stocks - New Carbon Fiber Elite Tactical lay-up option

    I just ordered two McMillan stocks from Stockys and the only reason I didn't order another Manners is due to my addiction to the Olive Marble. I hope Manners will explore other color options in the future.

    Hunting & Fishing I have a story...

    You think you were mad? Try walking to your stand ON YOUR OWN LAND only to find that it's not there. The only thing left is the bow hanger that is 20 feet up the tree. This happened on two different farms. Here is what happened the first time, I had hunted the fire lanes of a cutover which...

    I just paid the balance today on a Premier Light Tactical from Mike at CS Tactical. I plan on using it for both hunting and long range shooting. Give Mike a call. Thanks Mike!

    260 vs 6.5x47 out to 1000 yards?

    Robert really likes the 6.5x47 and is the reason why I originally chose it.

    260 vs 6.5x47 out to 1000 yards?

    I would be very happy if could run the 140s at 2800. The only powder I have been able to get for it is Reloader 15 (2 lbs) and Reloader 17 (2 lbs). I did find some 130 VLDs at Third Generation last night. I already got a 500 piece box of 140 VLDs and 3 boxes of 123 scenars. If any of you...

    260 vs 6.5x47 out to 1000 yards?

    The barrel I sent to the gunsmith is a 27" blank. I am thinking I will have the smith keep it at 27" vs cutting it to 26".

    260 vs 6.5x47 out to 1000 yards?

    LOL!!! I am wearing you out aren't I? I am sticking with the 6.5x47! Thanks guys! I'll admit that I tend to overthink things at times. I just don't know enough about this stuff to make an informed decision. This makes things MUCH easier as I have already bought my dies, 200 rounds of...

    260 vs 6.5x47 out to 1000 yards?

    26" Bartlien 1-8 twist. It's already at the smiths place. I had planned on going 6.5x47 but now going back and forth.

    Rifle Scopes When comparing the 5-25's :USO....Premier

    Whoa Whoa Whoa! I was just joking. Jtrax hasn't ever said anything negative to me about USO other than it being a big scope. He just hasn't sung USO's praises to me like he has recently. He has a LOT of top shelf scopes to play with and I think the fact that he has been using the USO recently...

    You must have paid him to take the USO because he definitely wasn't saying this a month ago.

    Movie Theater safe to say breaking bad is the best TV show of all time?

    I haven't seen it but my brother said the same thing. Said he recorded a bunch of them and stayed up until 3:00 AM watching them. Luckily for him, he gets to make his own hours at work.

    Rifle Scopes Anyone Hunting With Premier Light Tactical 3-15x50?

    I thought I was going to go with a Swarovski Z6 for my hunting rifle that is being built but after dropping a doe at 804 yards last year, I felt that I would regret not going with a scope with true turrets. When it comes to a hunting scope, I want the best low light performing glass that I can...

    jtrax knows his scopes! Good dude as well! I can't wait to go shoot a 2.5 year old 8 ptr at his place this December.
