    Glassing versus hunting

    Curious how more experienced hunters would handle this - I glassed a herd with 20 cows and a bull this morning feeding. I was glassing from one mountain away. As the elk were walking into timber at 9 am, another hunter saw them and took a hail mary shot. I assume he didn't connect because he...

    Backcountry spotting scope

    I can see more detail with 18X Maven binos than my 48x 65mm Vortex spotter. Glassing through my 18Xs is very enjoyable. I can't glass for long time periods with a Swaro spotter.

    Let's talk money. Budgets. Life.

    Definitely proactively budget. No it's not always fun. Read the simple path to wealth or Mr Money Mustache blog, specifically the shockingly simple math post.

    Dilemma: Semi custom Tikka build on budget vs. 7PRC factory rifle. UPDATED: Decision Made and Build Complete

    a Tikka 7 Rem Mag will be effective to 500-600 yards if you do your part. And more for that matter. My tikka 7 RM shoots Barnes 160 TSX very well.

    22 trainer - T1x vs 10/22 with bull barrel

    I have a 223 trainer but I'd like to build a 22 trainer for cheaper ammo and faster shooting, general position work, and fun. I have a basic 10/22 in a magpul chasis. Considering getting a Kidd bull barrel (5 shot 1/2" group at 50 yds guarantee) and probably a trigger kit or getting a Tikka...

    RF Binos - Revic the best for hunting?

    I'm looking to purchase some RF binos. Budget isn't my main priority. Any reason not to get the Revic? They seem to be the most functional for rifle hunting western state scenarios? Would prefer ballistic capability, shoot in mils. Does the relatively narrow FOV seem to be bothersome for...

    Wondering if there is anyone on here that has retired early (FIRE Movement)

    Fully on the FIRE train. First of next month, I'll have hit my original rental cash flow goal and am looking to start my own business. Not interested in working for others anymore and don't want to be as frugal and retire in my 30s. Would much rather work on my own schedule for a potentially...

    Easy Button big game rig

    Went through a similar process a few years ago to less the kick from an old 30.06 with a steel butt plate. Tikka 7 Rem Mag, shoots 3.5" groups at 400 yards with factory ammo. Unreal.
