    Do I Really Need Binoculars?

    I’ve never needed binos on a safari… but I enjoy having them and use them regularly… Currently I use a set of leupold BX4 Pro Guide 10x42… I’d really like to get a small, good quality pocket binos.. maybe an 8x30 of some sort and start taking them…

    Concur… Play stupid games, win stupid prizes… Homey might have considered making multiple trips to Russia to check things out, maybe get to know some Russian families, think through the Russian job market etc before packing up and moving somewhere that he obviously read about but really didn’t...

    Politics

    Is it a strike out? What is it we want from Canada right now that the US isn’t getting? What is the ambassador doing that Rubio, his boss, doesn’t 100% support? Lutnick and Bessent are both advocating even stronger measures to push Canada to open markets, which includes further tariffs. All...

    Once again I'd recommend a little research... Alaska is indeed famously republican.. MODERATELY... with numerous D and Independent elected officials over the last 25 or so years.. Anchorage, and the specific district Murkowski represented when she was in the house, and lives in today is...

    you might want to do a little research... assigning homework to others when you clearly havent done any yourself is a bit ridiculous dont you think? Murkowski may call herself a Republican.. that doesnt mean she actually is one any longer.. She doesnt caucus with the Republican party, the...

    Im going to guess thats because a large majority of those 1.2M women between 18-24 look like... lots of players.. but very few fans.. not everyone is built for high volume sales.. :)

    20 vs 28 gauge

    the actual numbers conflict with your argument... for 40 years the 28 ga has consistently represented about 2% of the market.. they arent selling any more or any less guns or ammo in 2025 than they were in 2015.. you personally may now be hanging around (online or in person) with more 28ga...

    20 vs 28 gauge

    Ummm.. 28ga rolled out for the first time in 1880... Im not sure 140+ years equals a "fad".... Winchester first released commercial shells for the 20 ga in 1886.. The 12 ga became popular in the US in the mid 1860's... 16ga first became popular in 1889 when Parker rolled out their first 16ga...

    You’ve got 3000+ pages of reading in this thread to catch up on… the original post was debated in the opening months of Trumps first term… there have plenty of new debates to transpire over the last 8 years that are much more current..

    Which is best entry shotgun?

    Franchi makes a few “entry” level guns… I’m not aware of Zoli making anything entry level. Both make very solid guns… I’d be happy to take either out for a round of clays or to chase dove in the field, etc..

    Politics

    Maybe… Although in most cases that would be stupid.. Americans go abroad and spend a lot of American dollars on everything from tourism to business… make it difficult and Americans stop traveling to your country and start spending their dollars elsewhere… As a rule the people coming to the US...
