    Scope question

    Depending on the power range you need, if you can find a Athlon Aeres ETR 3-18, they punch above their price level which is around $550. I have one and a Cronus and can hardly tell the difference.

    A peculiar problem

    Yeah, my understanding is that the particular bullet you are using is made for the 300 win mag, so you can get close to the lands and the round will still fit in the mag. I was considering trying them in my short action 300 WSM where I have to seat almost every bullet at least .07 off for the...

    It was just self defense kids!!

    I’m not sure it’s quite that simple, that they just showed up and started killing people, but God only knows what really happened and for ever reason, it was part of His will. Reference the picture below with a 30,000’ view. I think that Christians often “stand with Israel” because of verses...

    It was just self defense kids!!

    For sure, where ever they go, they have historically caused more than just a little trouble; it’s as if they are genetically wired for it.

    Let’s talk carbon fiber stocks

    Interesting, they sent me a email today saying they were available for back order which made it sound like it was new. How are they?

    Looks like MDT has a new one coming out if you can wait until the Black Friday sale…….😂 All kidding aside, I’m sure it quality product...

    So I'm seeing more and more short 308s in my neck of the woods seems odd

    Exactly! I guess that could work if you are shooting off a tripod at hogs at night, but otherwise, give me a 16” barrel and a short flow through can.

    fighting in China's back yard?

    Wow, I haven’t heard that honest of reporting since the 70’s. “When history, politics, and pride collide, it’s never about a temple, it’s about who blinks first” That’s for sure. We may not give a crap about this conflict over here, but it sure would be nice to have that kind of reporting...

    Emotional roller coaster: 6 powder droppers in < 3 years!

    I started with a manual trickler; the Ingenuity is considerably faster. It’s totally worth it if you can get one.

    Good question, if so, maybe he can provide some clarity.

    Let’s talk carbon fiber stocks

    I have a Peak 44 Bastion with an Origin short action and 20” 300 WSM barrel. It’s new to me, but I really like it so far. Bedding was easy and its silly light. Peak 44 is also very responsive with questions via email or phone which is nice these days. I had this barreled action in a weighted...

    Euro Optic shipping procedures SUUUUCK!

    Yeah, with all the scammers even targeting our members I can see that being an issue. I don’t have a problem with having to sign for it, just wish I would have known that even with a My Choice account with UPS that I pay for that this shipper, Euro, has everything so locked down that I have no...

    Euro Optic shipping procedures SUUUUCK!

    Exactly 👏. As it is, the unreliable shippers who are difficult to hold accountable, even after buying their upsold insurance, put the liability on us or the shipper. I can understand why a place like Euro gets pissed at absorbing losses, especially with the high end products they sell, and...

    Euro Optic shipping procedures SUUUUCK!

    What we have here is a failure to communicate or difficulties with reading comprehension, I’m not sure which. What you interpret as “my problem”, I don’t see as a problem. You are right, I don’t want to take the loss, and I shouldn’t have to if I’m paying for a service, in this case, from UPS...

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

    45-75 with open sights and good cast bullet loads would be better. Definitely get gaters and a 0 degree bag. I have a very light down zero degree bag I bought years ago and it’s still going strong. I was using a 20 degree synthetic bag before that, but spent a couple cold nights with temps in...

    Euro Optic shipping procedures SUUUUCK!

    I’ll try after they make one attempt. Euro told me the same thing so far. Too bad we can’t all be “conventional” like @Milf Dots and either be independently wealthy, retired, or on government handouts without a job. I guess it is unconventional to actually have a JOB these days; we are in the...

    So you are saying I could get lucky and the guy might just leave it with no signature. We shall see; I’ll report back if he does.
