    Good GSP recommendations?

    Have two, though don’t hunt much with them anymore. Amazing dogs. This is who we got ours from. Highly recommend. https://www.classicgundogs.com/

    Hunting & Fishing Night Hunting - Optics Preference

    Handheld thermal scanner to detect. Katana NVGs with a DBAL D2 to engage, usually off a tripod in a field. Occasionally set up with a SIMRAD for longer shots on coyotes. Have tried thermal clip ons, dedicated thermals, etc.., but always seem to be slower than using a laser, especially for...

    Budget spotting scopes with reticle

    Also use the Athlon Ares. Had the G1. Wind blew tripod over and mag ring stopped working. Sent in for warranty and had a brand new Ares G2 in my hands within two weeks. Now use the 22x reticle and works great for hunting/shooting steel out to 600. Elk hunts I switch to the 15-45 reticle. 5 years...

    PRS FFP scope with thicker reticles?

    Another vote for USO. While not doing PRS, I prefer the thicker reticle for my older eyes when hunting.

    .308 win with plus 1 gas

    Sample size of 1 here, but I went from a 16 in carbine system to a proof 20” +2 CAMGAS and it is freaking smooth. 6.5cm with adj gas block, running suppressed. Recoil is less to me than a lot of overgassed 556 I’ve encountered.

    I need a lightweight, compact 2-10....

    If short and light is priority, I’m really digging my SWFA 2.5-10 ultralight so far. Have an RMR offset on it as well. Glass is meh/good enough and needs a sunshade, but tracking great and reticle matches very well for my 11.5 556 AR. Only limited use so far but gonna run it this hunting season...

    Tripod head

    If you don’t need a whole lot of elevation, I’ve been extremely happy with my RRS leveling base.

    Night Vision LWTS vs UTM

    Geez us. I’m an old fart and fucking hate technology but even I know you have to tag him for it to show up in his feed. @TheHorta he’s beckoning you… Or you can say “Horta” three times in a row while dancing in a circle and summon him that way.

    Is LA5 UHP worth using or overkill for hog hunting

    I’ve killed a LOT of pigs with NVGs over the years. Your question totally depends on setup. If using a clip on device shooting 300+ then absolutely not. If doing what I do, getting in close (30-50m), and engaging sounder as they run off out to 300m or so, then absolute yes. I run a DBAL D2 that...

    Love my Calvin Elite.

    GLX 2.5-10 vs Credo 2-10 vs PST Gen II vs PLXc 1-8 vs Razor Gen III 1-10 ?

    Received the SWFA yesterday and mounted it, but will be a few weeks until I can put through its paces on steel to 600. Initial impressions: 1. LIGHT! Holy crap is it lightweight. Noticeably lighter setup than with the PA SLX 1-6. 2. Turrets seem pretty decent for price. Not a lot of purchase...

    GLX 2.5-10 vs Credo 2-10 vs PST Gen II vs PLXc 1-8 vs Razor Gen III 1-10 ?

    I’ve got a SWFA SS 2.5-10 ultralight finally on the way after about 4 months on back order. Hoping to test out this weekend for a similar role you’re describing. Can let you know how it works with an offset RMR. Not expecting glass to be spectacular but hoping it’s good enough for shots with my...

    Help me select a KN203 Simrad friendly scope

    Did not have to remove stray light shield.

    Solar telescope filter for daytime zeroing?

    Just poke a tiny hole in your lens cap. Can cover with duct tape later on.

    Help me select a KN203 Simrad friendly scope

    Use mine with a USO B17 with H102 reticle and love it. What illuminator are you running? Put a Luna on mine and can count antlers on deer (not shooting them, just observing) at 1000m on 17x mag.

    Looking to Build a low weight ar-10

    Hunting buddy and I both built lightweight 6.5 CM using 16” gunner profile barrels. Mine was 1MOA, his was 1.5. Different receiver types so could have been part of the difference. Worked well enough for our purposes, but have since switched to 20” proof CF to try and get more velocity. Best...

    Need a backpack for air travel. Maxpedition, or??

    Have used the Kifaru Antero 2.0 pretty much daily for the past 3 years with no complaints. Great bag.
