    Mounting a Timer

    hard to start a time on 'GO!' when you are standing port arms with a rifle and bag in one hand and then trying to start the timer on the wrist of your other hand. The rifle mounted timer allows you to hold your rifle safely and still start very close to the time you start the stage.

    thoughts on Swaro STR spotter vs Vortes HD spotter

    How in the hell did this thread start with a vortex spotter compared to an STR and end up with a BTX and 15x SLC combo???? Did a rich uncle pass between posts and up your budget? kidding, those look awesome, I think I am going to rent some BTX for hunting season to test them out. I still love my...

    I am not sure, I was not with my friends when they went to get theirs and I believe the customer service guy tried scanning and entering something on the scope I was returning and then he had to manually override it for the discount when he got the approval to do so. I believe my friends had to...

    sorry all of the ones we bought were Mark 5s, I never tried for the VX sales. And crazy enough we are all keeping our scopes we bought.

    Also, my friends walked into that store, asked about the sale, was told they had none in stock but could order for that price at the gun counter, then went to customer service and scopes rang up full price, went back to gun counter with customer service and the manager came in and said they...

    hahahaha, that is convenient for them to use that angle. Funny how almost everything in that store now says Bass Pro Shop on it... Great for them to streamline products and increase production to decrease cost... but ask about a deal honored at a sister store and get told "nope sorry can't help...

    Terminus Actions

    Check out Hoptic USA they have some pads that are cut that might work or you can trim 1 to fit. I would go on the XLR website and buy some spare sheets of foam for a couple bucks and make your own off a template, that's what I did, its low profile but keeps the keep from getting sweaty. I can...

    I have a RRS with the Anvil head and I let a buddy borrow it for his BTX and he had no issues with it holding. I am not sure if he used the built in ARCA or the RRS adapter.

    Rifle Scopes Razor 4.5-27x56 Butler Creek Covers

    I agree with tenebraex, was not sure if they made them for the vortex so I didnt want to comment but its a toss up between tenebraex and Aadland on far as quality and features.

    Rifle Scopes Razor 4.5-27x56 Butler Creek Covers

    @RC556 I would spend a little more and get some nice Aadland covers. They will be much higher quality than the Butler Creek covers and will not break or slip off compared to the Vortex Defender or Butler Creek.

    Depends on when you ordered the scope. I was able to get my online order price matched. I ordered it on Saturday though when the sale was still going on, I also showed the picture of the Cabela's signage saying sale lasts until July 19th, I didn't have to do too much to get it matched, but that...

    Introducing the New NL PURE from Swarovski Optik

    Look at the Really Right Stuff Bino Mount. I have one for my Leica Geovids after using one of the adaptors that straps over the binos. The best thing about the RRS tripod adapter is I can unclip the binos and they fit easily in my bino harness and then i can remount in a matter of seconds. I...

    thoughts on Swaro STR spotter vs Vortes HD spotter

    a more fair comparison would be the Leupold Mark 4 spotter. I would for sure get a Leupy for 500 and in. I have a 65mm STR with 25-50 wide angle. It is super nice but it is also A LOT of magnification. At 500 you will be better to use the Leupy or just get a nice set of binos and you will have...

    I don’t know, just saw it posted earlier in this thread so saved it to my phone and told them it was sent to me by someone at another Cabela’s location. He told me the sale ended on the 30th and I told him it says the 19th. He talked to someone else and came back and said he would honor the sale.
