    Nikon ED 50

    I got the 27 and really liked it, but I eventually put the variable back on for the extra reach and left it on. If you used the scope a lot you might find it worthwhile, for very occasional use I think you probably wouldn't.

    Meopta vs Swarovski

    I have the Swaros and before buying them I compared them inside Sportsman’s for quite a while. I thought the Swaros were a little better, but not by much. I also believe the Meoptas are likely more durable. I just bought Meopta 12X50’s and love them.

    Tikka Not Grouping??

    I got a Bell and Carlson stock and a Limbsaver for my Tikka 300WM and it made it bearable. The extra weight and wider recoil pad helped a lot. Still got weary of it after a few years and rebarreled it into a 6.5 PRC. A brake obviously helps more, but I'd like to keep the hearing I still have.

    Foot growth with age

    I was 10.5 in college and now, 50 years later, I'm at 12. I'm shorter too. Gravity

    Has anyone ordered from blackhorn209powder.com?

    No knowledge of the company, but I know what the results will be if you order from them.

    “Glassing” set up for the house?

    I always prefer binos over spotting scopes and I love my swaro 15X56 but the Meopta is almost as good.

    Hearing aids

    Get your dealer to turn them down, if you can't. Use them at a lower volume and gradually increase it as you get used to them. Crumpling a sheet of paper can be pretty annoying for a while.

    Hearing aids

    When you first get hearing aids you have to get used to them because you’re hearing sounds you haven’t heard in a long time and sounds that you may not want to hear at all. You also need to plan on going back to the dealer to tweak them so they sound right to you. As said, it is not going to...

    Hearing aids

    As a former hearing aid dealer I can tell you that I would never get a rechargeable because it's going to go out when you need it most and you can't do anything about it. Batteries do the same thing, but then you pop a new one in, and they're cheap. I can get several days out of a battery. As...

    Considering switching from outdoorsmans to clamp/strap connector

    I use both and can't say that I have a preference either way. The RRS is especially nice if you don't have or don't want the stud on your bins and it's adaptable to almost everything.

    Grinding shank meat

    I had the same problem even after cutting with a fine toothed reciprocal saw and rinsing them. I now filet the shank and cut it into chunks. Hard to describe how awful it is to bite into a tiny bone.

    Sold Benchmark 30 cal barrel for defiance action.

    I have a benchmark 6.5 PRC on a Tikka action and it is by far the most accurate rifle I own.

    Fierce Firearms Disaster

    I don't know if this has been posted but it certainly deserves at least an asterisk on their warranty (the italics are mine); PLEASE READ CAREFULLY Before sending your rifle in for an accuracy warranty claim, ensure that you have addressed all possible issues that may be contributing to your...

    I have 2 T3s and 2 T3Xs and they’re perfectly interchangeable.

    Swarovski 25-50 deal?

    Just got the eyepiece and, though not yet verified, I'm sure it's genuine. There's a sticker on the box that basically says that it's grey market and "may not be eligible for manufacturer warranty." At least they're up front about that. It's raining and windy here so a real test will have to...
