    Over Priced Things That Shouldn't Be?

    So like all consumers, I try to buy the best things at the best prices. Value is important. I'm also crazy obsessed with hunting/shooting and do subscribe to "buy once, cry once" when it comes to things that I don't want to compromise. My waterfowl gun (12ga SBE2) has run the gauntlet for near...

    Argentina dove hunting

    Argentina was unbelievable. I won a DU raffle and went. I'd go again in a heart beat! I went with my dad, brother and uncle. Doves EVERYWHERE! And we hunted the "off season in March." Bring a shoulder shooting pad and shooting gloves. I was perfectly fine with that, 20s are light on the...

    Woman’s shotguns

    Syren and Weatherby make women's guns: https://www.outdoorlife.com/guns-for-women-field-testing-weatherby-camilla-rifle-and-syren-xlr5-waterfowler-shotgun/ Apparently their combs are lower to support a better shoulder pocket on women's guns. Weatherby makes a .308 rifle.

    Tikka Not Grouping??

    Ok boys. Just got home from the range. Needless to say I'm VERY happy. To Recap: Last Friday, I put Federal Blue Box 180s on paper and it shot 1.5'-2" groups. I then shot 5 rounds of 180gr CoreLoks and 5 rounds of 200 gr Terminal Ascent. Just hoping something would group. All three grouped...

    Nope, it's a stainless, no thread, no brake. I'm going to check the action screw torque, and check next Thursday at the range. Any good videos to explain where to go to check these things out?

    Anyone have recommendations for a location for Ocellated Turkey hunt?

    Following. What do you mean "not your typical turkey hunt"? I too have kicked around and Oscellated turkey hunt. They look spectacular! Could you describe the hunt? Flight, customs outfit cost, weather/expectations? I assume you had to rent a gun? I'd love to shoot 2 and do a fan mount and...

    Nightforce Sales?

    Anyone know of any Nightforce sales going on right now? (Specifically the SHV?) I see SportOptics has no tax/shipping, and their "Winter12" code doesn't work. Just curious if so I don't miss anything. I'm thinking of getting one soon.
