I’m looking for a variable power scope for a stainless 30-06. I’m thinking a mid price range decent brand. Leupold vx3 or similar comes to mind. I don’t want a huge objective bell, 44 would be the biggest for me. 1” or 30mm tube either one is fine prefer 1” I suppose. Let me know what you...

Not exactly a liar, but I have a family member who I fully believe is a psychopath. Not the stab you in the shower kind, but the medical definition kind. He will say or do anything to get what he wants. Doesn’t matter who or how bad it hurts other people, including his children, he does what...

I notice people who have gone prairie dog hunt once or a couple of times tend to tell a great hunting story. Two topics where the truth gets stretched pretty thin: “I shot 500-600-700 shots in one day.” “I was hitting prairie dogs 500-600-700 yards away” The truth is, I am not an amazing...

I saw these deer about a mile from my house a few weeks ago. Not an area I hunt, which is a good thing. I don’t need any more taxidermy bills. Pretty cool to see these, I have also seen an albino deer in a completely different area.

I completely agree with 375 Ruger. Para45 welcomed my son and myself into his home for a visit and was an absolute upstanding guy. I have not had any transactions with him but would not hesitate for a moment to do so. There must be a scam of some sort going on here. John

I have one under a Dillon 550 and have never noticed any flexing/torque concerns. .375 HH is the largest brass I’ve full length resized on that press or any other. I don’t have much reloading experience but think the Ultramount is nice, has decent quality and features. John

All right, I’ll play. Anyone notice the $100 is fake. That’s really a dick move!

My hunting cabin, northern Wisconsin. My wife and I spent a year and a half designing it and about 3 year to build it. It’s our “happy place.”

I did in fact see and hold this gun last night. It truly is a stunning double rifle. If anyone wishes to PM me and ask me about the rifle, please do so. I am very new to nice rifles and doubles; there will be things I don’t know. But I will repeat, this really is an amazing firearm. Rookhawk...

For the most part yes. I’ve not done it, but you could probably fuss with .30 cal cutters and get them to work within the family groups of brass. .308 probably can work with .30-06, that sort of thing. The thing though, is set up is really straightforward and once it is done, you can trim a...

Not cheap. But they are amazing at making case prep not suck.

I asked the question about ATN because I have a friend who hunts the Minnesota/Iowa border farmland at night a lot. He knows a fair bit about thermals. He generally doesn’t give hard and fast opinions about much, but when I asked him about the ATN. He said “hard no.” Way to many quality...

So, as the OP, I did not buy the thermal. I have spent quite a bit this year on guns, ammo and supplies. So the wallet is pretty skinny. I’ve been planning to get a thermal with Scheels gift cards but my kids feet keep growing and shoes are not cheap. I didn’t know enough about it to...

How is the quality control of the ATN? I have heard people complain about having to send them back for repairs.

Weekend bump for your thoughts.
