    Swarovski Z6i not holding zero

    typically on forums I read there's a lot of "my team is better than your team" with info that is anecdotal at best as regards scope brands. The amount of people just on this thread that have attested to failed or problematic Swaro's is really surprising to me given their brand strength (and hi...

    Life Goes On A Gorilla Hunt

    I like that. Well stated, especially that last sentence. That puts into words for me how I generally feel about hunting as well. Thank you

    Life Goes On A Gorilla Hunt

    Not trying to step into (or start) a shitstorm but I think I'm picking up the vibe that generally folks here are against hunting primates. Am I correct? I wouldn't be interested in hunting them just as I'm not interested in hunting most things I wouldn't eat. And I'm not against trophy...

    Current state of Dangerous Game optics?

    Doooooooood.... Don't get me started. And they carry extra beard oil to lube their bolt.

    A cautionary tale - Traveling with ammunition in luggage

    Appreciate the OP making us aware of this. I certainly wasn't aware. TSA is a racket right in front of our faces. They force you to go through the impossibly stupid and painful process and then sell you a pass program to allow you to avoid it.... as long as you pay the subscription.

    *** Cowboy Boots ***

    Not to derail but I've thought about having some made from hippo when I get one. Would love to see some Africa born leather cowboy boots

    Full Custom Browning Hi Power

    love it. My earliest shooting out on the farm central KS were learning on SAO 1911's and BHP's. Think around 7 years old i was plunking with a BHP. The hi power is still my favorite. Elegant, ergonomic, it just goes where you think you want to aim it. My dream pistol is a DA/SA bhp with a...

    Vortex Razor Scopes

    Glad you brought up NF. I've never played with NF but on another forum with "rocks that slide" there's a guy that does reviews who supposedly tests glass professionally. I.e., drop, throw, heat, cold, and runs them through the ranges of the adjustments with some sort of means to measure their...

    Vortex Razor Scopes

    i'm a razor fan but i have a few leupolds too. I run a razor 1-6 gen2e with the BDC illuminated reticle on an FAL and it's phenomenal at 1x and takes a helluva beating when i put it on the 375h&h. no issues. For non-hunting, it's my absolute favorite even when compared to acogs, elcans, and...

    Politics

    Ya ya maybe. These days I take any govt "reports" as a Twinkie with a fish hook in it. I think tiktok and your "reports" were a convenient way to setup a precedent that we won't like where it leads

    Will you be very pleased when they come after the NYT, fox news, or the wall street journal? I mean surely the govt will do something like this just this once. Never again right?
