    Re: Squirrels I love to squirrel hunt with a .22 rifle (head shots). Limit here is 10 per day. Quarter squirrel then put in a pot of water and simmer till tender then pan fry. Pretty good!

    Hunting & Fishing hoyt bows

    Re: hoyt bows The Spyder Turbo or the Spyder 34 are hard to beat. I prefer them over the Carbon. If you like short bows the Spyder 30 is a good choice. You are on the right track in my opinion.

    Rifle Scopes Is camera land online GTG?

    Re: Is camera land online GTG? I priced a new pair of Swarovski 15x56 binoculars from them and then during checkout they told me they couldn't sell them to me for that price after all. I then called EuroOptic and they sold me a pair for the same price. That is my only experience with the guys...

    Rifle Scopes Tall Scope Turrets?

    Which crowd is asking for tall scope turrets? I think they get taller with each new scope release. Even Nightforce's new models look taller than before and I thought they were appreciated for nice clean lines on their designs. I am 6'2" with XL hands and even with gloves on see no reason for...

    Rifle Scopes Glass for an old Remington 541s?

    Re: Glass for an old Remington 541s? Leupold 3-9x33 E.F.R or the 4.5-14x40 AO (my favorite) are hard to beat for a nice sporting rimfire rifle. If you like to dial for shots you can buy either one with the CDS system.

    Rifle Scopes Frustrations with the Vortex 6-24x50 PST

    Re: Frustrations with the Vortex 6-24x50 PST Like I said, I am sending the scope back to Vortex to have it checked out. The reason I posted here is that I contacted Vortex before and was told it was normal. It sounds to me that my scope might need to be replaced. If it checks out fine then I...

    Rifle Scopes Frustrations with the Vortex 6-24x50 PST

    Re: Frustrations with the Vortex 6-24x50 PST I have seen inconsistent glass even in high end optics. In my case all of my SWFA scopes have noticeably better glass than my PST. The PST has good turrets, great reticle and the tracking has been right on. Even though the glass has been...

    Rifle Scopes Frustrations with the Vortex 6-24x50 PST

    How are you guys dealing with the design of the Vortex PST? I have used my PST for a couple of years now. I tried it on several of my rifles wanting to find a combination that I could live with. It currently sits on my custom 10/22. If I dial 3-4 mils in any direction from mechanical zero I...
