    Hunting & Fishing Nilgai in Texas

    Is anyone as passionate about Nilgai hunting as I am? The trophy bulls are incredibly hard to kill because they are so wary and have tremendous eyesight and sense of smell. The cows not so much...kinda dummies like whitetail does. I have hunted on the King Ranch and elsewhere on the lower Texas...

    Doug I have heard that this is a good set of binos. I have heard that Cabela's branded this model and has sold a bunch. I will have to try them.

    EuroOptic Messing With Me

    Look I have no need to be proven right or anything like that, so I am just being helpful. I have years of experience in Aerospace manufacturing, a lot of it in advanced optical systems. Quality is not "goodness" it is adherence to specifications. Those specifications come from the U.S. military...

    EuroOptic Messing With Me

    Dude...this is objectively measurable through scientific methods (Leupold has done that). A human staring through glass cannot distinguish its quality at a high level of quality. What you perceive in differences are what I described....how the mechanics of the scope affect image. I am not saying...

    EuroOptic Messing With Me

    Leupold puts the best glass in the world in a scope you can buy for $550. Glass is not the distinguishing factor in high end scopes, (or it should not be, if it is that is a huge red flag). What matters is how that glass is affected by magnification, reticle quality, repeatability (at 1000...

    Custom Molded In Ear Buds

    I had a pair for years and lost them. They are so expensive and you have to find a guy in that business. Anyone know where you can get the materials in reasonably small quantities for DIY Pretty sure my wife is capable of fitting them for me.

    Best Binos $500 or less (10x42)

    I have a pair of Leupold I paid about $300 for, but thinking about upgrading a little. Wish I had a $1500 budget, but I just dropped $400 on a pair of Kentrek hunting boots.

    Gunsmithing Pacific Tool and Gauge

    Anyone been having trouble with PTG quality lately? I have had a couple of very respectable Smith's (you would know them) tell me there has been problems with the custom bolts and that bottom metal is so out of tolerance that their inletting programs don't work requiring expensive hand fitting...

    Rifle Scopes Ultimate Mountain Rifle Scope

    Doug at Cameraland (great guy and great company, give him your business as he is a Hide guy) confirmed that Leupold put their best glass in the VX-3i. I will let you guys know. Swaro bright is awesome no doubt. If we can do it a grand cheaper might be a good thing. This rifle will probably be...
