    Rifle Scopes Is a fixed 6x scope too much for a front loader?

    Have the opportunity to purchase a fine used Sako rifle with a S&B Classic 6X42 scope. Already have someone interested in the rifle, but he definitely does not want the scope. I have a T/C encore .50cal muzzleloader w/ an Aimpoint T1 that needs bigger glass. Zero is at 100 but would like to...

    Rifle Scopes Is this a good deal on a NF 3.5-15x50 NSX?

    Pretty sure I've likely just 'scrapped' a Weaver Tactical 3-15x50 scope. It's less than a year old with about 1500 rounds in an Aadmount on a WOA 5.56 SDM barreled upper that shoots just under 1MOA. Mostly used prone shooting steel to 600+ and a bit of coyote hunting. Weaver Tactical Rifle...

    Fieldcraft Another use for shoe-goo.......?

    A lot of you guys seem to like shoe-goo. Never used it on anything but running shoes. I just purchased some of the new inch sized Sord Field Uniform pants. These are really nice pants and now they actually fit me. I normally wear Massif pants with pockets in the knees for pads/inserts. The...

    Fieldcraft Snugpak Sleeping Bags

    I need a new bag. What's your experience with Snugpak? I thought they would be too expensive, but they offer a few less costly lines of import made bags. I really don't want to spend more than $100. Anyone have tried one of the non-UK made bags? I don't need anything super-warm...

    I'm looking for ideas & input as to what to do for a bipod or tripod on a .223 bolt gun for prone on grass. Currently shooting off a ruck but think there may be better options. With a few exceptions, these all seem to be in about the 200 dollar range. If you've used any or have an opinion...
