    Cabelas Krotos Spotting scope

    Now that you mention it. Yes. I have about 3 metal shavings on the threaded housing by the main objective. I could see how this could interfere with focus ring operation if they dislodge and fall in the ring. Surprising because the machining quality looks pretty good. And there are no telltale...

    Cabelas Krotos Spotting scope

    Not to one up you in the self pity pool, but I had the same thing happen. But to make the situation worse, I was literally in the store with the angled version in hand which I had ordered online. Fearing they would cance my backordered scope having been burned twice already in the last 6 months...

    Cabelas Krotos Spotting scope

    Looks like the 15-45 is sold out online. I just picked one up in store for the $342. Great for that price.

    WTS Spot Gen1 and Gen3

    Just switched to an InReach so no longer needed. Gen1 is cosmetically worn but works 100%. Gen3 was purchased in May 17 to accommodate my migration to AAA batteries. Gen3 was never taken out of doors. Both are deactivated and ready for new account activation. If you are a AA battery guy...

    Inreach questions

    With the Garmin version, it can be a standalone GPS. Although, there are better units. You can buy a month-to-month service plan for about 25%+ more than annual plans and there is an additional annual fee.

    Garmin In Reach base model vs topo maps

    I agree with Adam and did the same thing. Delorme's InReach works great and is several hundred cheaper than Garmin. Both are compatible with Garmin Earthmate app which is surprisingly nice and clearly identifies public and private land. You need to have a phone anyway to effectively use the...

    Garmin In Reach base model vs topo maps

    Neither. OnX chips don't work in the InReach. But the phone app map has private land layers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Leupold VX-6 HD

    I love my VX6 (non-HD). The 3-18 is the best western hunting scope on the market! Firedot and CDS is an amazing feature. I love it so much I bought two other Firedot scopes and will continue replacing scopes as I can afford it. The VX5 is now the best value on the market. Basically a VX6 at...

    Help: Remington Ultimate ML Problems!

    UPDATE Before I sent the gun back to Remington, I took out the breech plug and thoroughly cleaned the bore. It was very dirty, especially at the breech. It took about 3-4 rounds of full cleaning with a brass brush, solvent patches, and dry swabs before I felt it was actually clean. I...

    Help: Remington Ultimate ML Problems!

    Looking for any help or advice here. I am relatively new to muzzleloading. I bought a CVA Optima V2 last year and like it a lot. I've shot it a couple hundred times. A couple buddies convinced me to upgrade to a Remington 700 Ultimate based on their reviews and, most of all, their tight...

    Made gravity feed system with a Sawyer mini and some tubing and adapters and a Seattle Sports bladder/solar shower. It makes a great backcountry kit.

    FS: Tenkara mini teton package

    Bump for a nice rod. I have this rod and it's pretty nice for such a compact rod. Definitely the most convenient tenkara/fly rod for backcountry UL. As an added perk, this rod is in stock. Ordering from Tenkara Rod Co took about 3-4 weeks for the rod to arrive. If this was the sawtooth mini...

    InReach Explorer Review

    Like I said, my experience with Garmin InReach was (putting it charitably) 'not good'. Unit was DOA. The Delorme is so-far so-good. For the most part, it is a "plain" unit. You want it to have GPS so you can have it do tracking and geotagging. But it's not a useful stand alone GPS unit...

    Budget Scope Question 3-9x40mm

    I've had Nikons and Vortex scopes. They are great, especially if you can get them on sale. But I'm in the process of transitioning completely to Leupold. I have a couple VX1s and VX3s and a VX-R and VX6. They are all outstanding. If you can find one with a Firedot reticle, you won't be...

    InReach Explorer Review

    I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for. My Garmin InReach was defective and never turned on. So, I returned it. I have an Delorme Inreach thanks to a member here. It works really great as a communicator. I'm very impressed. It's not a real GPS unit though. The iPhone app is...

    Lightweight water filter (need advice)

    Sawyer Mini plus a Seattle Sports bladder/solar camp shower kit. I use it to scoop up water and then rigged up a gravity feed system. Works great. No messing around with filling a little water bottle or platypus bladder. No time pumping or squeezing. Plus you have the option for a...

    rtic 65 coolers?

    I just fill mine with nothing but ice for the igloo 120 and 150. Those are huge but don't hold ice for squat in Sept.

    Volcano stoves and pots

    Honestly, they look like the cheap chinese stoves from ebay or amazon... If you want a cheap light stove, I've actually had good luck with this and a titanium cup/pot.
