    Hunting & Fishing problems with the coyotes

    It's difficult to try and understand what brings a coyote in. What works one time - fails the next time. I hunt over a Wildlife Technologies e-caller. It works well, but coyotes can be quick learners. I have found one thing they just can't ignore. If I can hear them, I can get them to come...

    Rifle Scopes Need a scope

    Some of the older 3-15x50mm Nightforce NXS scopes are coming down into that range now and then. No highspeed turrets or zero stop, but still a great scope for the money.

    Hi From Arizona

    May I be the second to welcome you. I don't get up on the rim as much as I used to, but still try to get out of the heat now and then. Like rhildy77 said, feel free to use either of us as a resource.

    Target rounds not good for protection?

    In a perfect world where everybody hits their intended target with the first round, it's not about the bullet - it's about placement. In the real world, adrenalin-charged shooters rarely hit their mark with their first or even second shot when their life is on the line. My memory is a little...

    Rifle Scopes Sightron Scopes

    I have the SIII and have no complaints. Reasonable price, great glass, positive tracking and return to zero. The only complaint (and a minor one at that) is that a lot of these scopes come with a very "stiff" parallax knob.

    Hawk Hill Custom barrels?

    Never heard of Hawk Hill barrels until this post. Given the cost of building a custom rifle, I would not want to gamble on an "up & comer". I'm not saying they aren't good. Just not a lot of history and proven results behind them yet. I have never regretted paying for quality. But I have...

    Gunsmithing Stiller predator vs 700 inlet

    With the exception of the larger Stiller actions like the TAC338, etc., the short & long actions are Remington clones. Any stock inlet for a 700 should work with them as well.

    Swarovski SLC & EL Binos: Differences?

    I own and use the 10x42 SLC's. I have looked through the newer EL's and there is a difference to me. The EL's appear brighter and are definitely less weight. However, there was not enough of a difference in quality of glass to justify the increased cost. But I am probably on a tighter budget...

    Safe advice

    Any standard/common sized safe that is not bolted down, is really not "safe" at all. Most standard safes can be defeated by using pry tools on the door. This is largely dependent on the perp being able to tip the safe on its back so that he can use his own weight on the prybar. Take that...

    Looking for quality bore guide

    My first choice is always Lucas, but Sinclair International also has an inexpensive bore guide that holds up well.

    Rifle Scopes 300 AAC Blackout Reticle Choices

    I run two different optics on my 300. The scope sitting on the rail is for supersonic rounds with a zero at 100 yds. I hold over for anything else between 100 & 200 yds. Farther than 200 yds? - I don't take the shot. For subsonic rounds, I use the Burris Surefire II mounted on a 45 degree...

    Can anyone help?

    Re: Can anyone help? I can't help you with the scope height, but I can tell you to not waste a lot of time looking for help from Weaver. I did the same set up for a friend. I called Weaver - never got through to anyone. Left message, but it was never returned. Also sent a couple of...

    Ideas for .338 lapua mag build?

    Re: Ideas for .338 lapua mag build? I don't know anything about the 338 Lapua that is inexpensive. I currently shoot a 277 cal wildcat based on the 338 Lapua case and am also in the process of building another wildcat that will be a 338 Lapua Improved variant. To develop the full potential...

    If Terrapin Is the best, What's Second Best?

    Re: If Terrapin Is the best, What's Second Best? Terrapin #1; G7 BR2 is #2; Swarovski & Leica 1600B tied for #3. Just sold the Swaro and bought a G7 BR2. Haven't played with it enough to have an informed opinion. Normally cost $1,600, but G7 Gunwerks has them discounted to $1,430 with free...
