    Ideal Rifle Scope

    Oh trust me, I’ve scrolled through enough threads on this site to know the SWFA SS is what y’all prefer lol. Unfortunately, they’ve been back ordered for the few months I’ve been looking. Read that somebody on here had spoke with them directly and said it’ll be another several months before...

    Ideal Rifle Scope

    "I DONT think I'll ever be comfortable taking shots >600-700 yards" Your logical conclusion was not what I meant, nor was it what I said. I also dont need you over my shoulder whispering anything lol. Just looking for a little help is all. I dont know if the SHV is my one scope, thats why I...

    Ideal Rifle Scope

    ^ In case you needed the reminder, WRM. I guess I don't entirely understand the infatuation with telling me I shouldn't be taking 700 yard shots at moving elk tomorrow with this new scope I'd buy. I think I'm a little bit more knowledgable with shooting/hunting than you assume. No offense taken...

    Ideal Rifle Scope

    You didnt ask for my life story, but you're going to get it anyway. I am not new to hunting, but quite new to this kind of hunting. Grew up shooting deer with scope-less shotguns in southern Minnesota. I've tinkered with a scope here and there in my 12 or so years of hunting but prior to this...

    Ideal Rifle Scope

    Thats great, appreciate the responses. @Formidilosus, I learned more off your Meopta Optika6 eval thread than any other web page on the internet. Notice how I didnt bother to ask about the quality of the glass lol. Appreciate your insight. When I last looked, it appeared the MRAD reticle was...

    Ideal Rifle Scope

    Yeah, its weight isn't something I'm overly excited about to say the least. I am willing to deal with a little extra weight if it means more insurance in the field. If the thing tracks, if it is indestructible, then I'm willing to pay a few more dollars and haul a few more ounces. I've read poor...

    Ideal Rifle Scope

    Coming into this research I knew absolutely nothing about rifle scopes and what they are capable of. I still don't know nearly as much as I probably should to be spending as much as I am, but thats why I'm here. I don't know a single person that knows scopes let alone dials so all info has come...

    End of June Minnesota trip

    Thats good. I was afraid that little buck of yours came from that part of the state. Would have been a shame! Lol Took 35E from Eagan to St Paul every day for work all summer, fall, and winter and never noticed a change from what was normal. Again, avoid certain parts of Minneapolis and there...

    End of June Minnesota trip

    Big talk coming from a guy who lives in SE MN lol. Turn off CNN brother, it'll make a world of difference for you! If you avoided the right/wrong parts of MPLS for a few weeks you never would have known the difference. Dont freak the guy out by telling him to avoid MN for stupid reasons such as...

    Out of state - Trailer/Tent setup

    I plan on running two camps next year for backcountry elk in october. Have gotten snowed/froze out back to back years now. Will have my backcountry tipi with a wood burning stove a few miles back and an ice fishing shelter with two 20 lb propane tank back at the truck. I've camped out on the ice...

    End of June Minnesota trip

    I live in the metro, a few miles away from the site of where Floyd was killed last summer. If I didnt watch the news I never would have known a difference. People saying avoid the area like the plague clearly dont live here themselves, you'll be more than fine in Burnsville. My profile pic came...

    Stove Questions for a Newbie

    Awesome. Appreciate all the replies. After about a week of research I was bound and determined to settle on the LO stove, but after watching some videos of set up and listening to some people with experience with some of the other choices, it seemed dumb to not go for the SO. From the reviews...

    Stove Questions for a Newbie

    Just got into the backcountry hunting and fishing last summer. Made a few trips, both solo, and fell in love with them. Now it consumes the majority of my time, effort, and paycheck. Went back country elk hunting down in SW CO last fall. Had big hopes and dreams, but like many rookies, never...
