    Would you buy this scope?

    That Alaskan brush is brutal. I hunt with a boat. So it’s fairly simple to carry two rifles. My “long” range rifle scope is quite challenging in the alders and willows. But sure is nice when a bull pops out 300yds away. I did just make the change from a 4-14 scope to a 2-12 scope for one...

    Would you buy this scope?

    I worry about 25yd shots. Not 100yd shots. I carry two rifles when hunting. One is the close up rifle and the other is the more than 100yd rifle. If I was somewhere else then it would change.

    Would you buy this scope?

    Depends on where it is made to be honest. And would prefer a 2-12 range but 3-12 would be doable. I do like the 20oz part.

    Nightforce SHV 4-14x50 F1 best reticle option?

    I am able to use it without my glasses (recticle is still busy) and as long as I can line it up on animal I can use it. However, I took it off my rifle. I didn’t like the recticle and the weight. I went with a duplex recticle which doesn’t bother my eyes.

    Nightforce SHV 4-14x50 F1 best reticle option?

    It’s my vision problem. Doc said I should consider bi-focals. I take my glasses off to read and do things close up (looking through a scope) but unless I’m able to get an animal on my sight quick I have a hard time finding them without my glasses. When I go to town next summer, I may consider...

    Nightforce SHV 4-14x50 F1 best reticle option?

    For sure. I bought the rifle with the NF on it. Figured it was a NF it was going to be perfect. Pfft. I wear glasses and when I have them on, the reticle is blurry. When I take them off…well…I can’t see my target. lol

    Nightforce SHV 4-14x50 F1 best reticle option?

    All the options are super busy and I didn’t like it. Took it off my fieldcraft and am trying to sell it. It is currently a 2.5lb paperweight.

    SWFA 6x failure

    They should move production to China. No issues popping stuff out of factories there.

    Thoughts on open sights for moose hunt?

    I carry two rifles but one stays in the boat. I have my short range (200yds and less) and my longer range 400yds max rifle. Though the magnification in the long range is 2-12 so it could be used either scenario. I want to use irons, but my eye sight doesn’t really allow me to. But I also can’t...

    TROY SESSIONS TELLS ALL_ Rafts_Game bags_ exposing the truth..

    Which is produced in China. So basically anything produced in China will be rebranded. Who made the first and then others are made. Some mark the price up and some don’t. The good news about all this, is we know where products are made now. Some people are a little secretive about where their...

    ALASKA WEST AIR DROP MOOSE HUNT

    That’s how we are. Tag soup is ok. If seasoned correctly with some laughs and a better plan. We went down the Yukon 2 seasons ago with 5 tags. Punched one. And shared the moose. One moose doesn’t feed 5 families for a year but it will fill 2 freezers. 😂 I’m sure hearing others does suck. And...

    TROY SESSIONS TELLS ALL_ Rafts_Game bags_ exposing the truth..

    You should really read what I said. Basically anything made in China can be rebranded. And as a smart Marine you should have understood it a little better. Unless you are just agreeing and laughing about the situation then I am the crayon muncher.

    TROY SESSIONS TELLS ALL_ Rafts_Game bags_ exposing the truth..

    Basically (I see the Kaboat knock off) anything made in China can be rebranded? That’s what I understand here. Those rafts do look familiar but unless you are marking them up more than the others, and as long as the QC is good more options always helps drive prices down.

    ALASKA WEST AIR DROP MOOSE HUNT

    May I ask…if a transporter drops you off on a lake and you aren’t successful, is that the transporter’s fault? How do you guys define success? Blood on the ground? Or no one dies? Not saying this is the case, but it seems that success is measured by harvested animals. Maybe I take hunting for...

    ALASKA WEST AIR DROP MOOSE HUNT

    One thing to consider is that you should look at the harvest reports for the units you want to hunt. Many units have success rates around 20% and that can tell you a lot about the area. You can also See how many tags were given for that unit.

    WTS Trijicon credo hx 1-8 with aero mount

    Trijicon credo hx 1-8 with an aero lightweight mount. Scope is 34mm tube so I bought the only mount in stock at the time that wasn’t $250 plus. I landed a NX8 last night so this scope is going. It’s a beast. For sure not light weight. I’ve shot with it 60 times. I only know the count because...

    Shipping firearms

    It’s not difficult. Ups isn’t the only option. Gunbroker charges a hefty fee which makes selling online a bit of a money drain. Selling off forums and what not is an option but you may be sitting on them for awhile. Also understand that what you can sell locally you may not get online. The...
