I have an 1187 as my "backup" gun that got used quite heavily by my brother this past fall after he had an unfortunate situation with his primary shotgun. I had it cerakoted, cuz in the muck and the cold/rainy/snowy days of waterfowl hunting, I didn't want it to rust.
With that being said, if...
To answer you Q, I've never had an issue seeing my retical in low light. Always been fine to shoot.
Actually, I just bought a Tikka 300 Win Mag and looking for a FFP optic on it for hunting.
I run FFPs on all my guns and shoot hold overs when hunting.
However, I want this to be THE gun for...
Oh believe me, I have backboards and blankets too! A frames, pits, layouts. If it's out there in the waterfowl world I've probably used it, hunted with it, hunted over them and everything in between.
There's a time and a place for everything. I've killed limits of ducks and geese out of an a...
Barrel wasn't damaged, after 20 yrs of every weekend and holiday waterfowl hunting and "sneaking out of work" she's had some miles. And I'm a firm believer that if I take care of my gear, it'll take care of me! Lol.
Great options and opinions. Certainly like the bike handle bar tape idea, along with the others.
After 20 yrs my SBE needed a face lift. She was in rough shape. I want 'er to last another 20, gotta take care of her.
I got a smith who does a whole gun for $300 for the whole gun.
Rob Robert's is like $350 and an additional $100 for "distressed" cerakote. Inuust didn't want to send it away when a smith does it locally. Took 3 weeks.
Howdy guys,
I just got my Benelli SBE2 back from the gunsmith after being cerakoted. After years of hunting, the camo on my barrel was rubbing off from my Tanglefree layout blind.
Like most hunters, I would put the gun on the metal "knee bar" near my shin & close the door. Over 20 years of...
Thanks, that's what I was hoping for. I didn't want to buy a new pad if I already had one.
Though my Thermarest is pretty loud & crinkles a lot when I move.
Very interesting design. I wasn't considering a quilt, always done a bag before.
I can't find information on how much the pad weighs? Couple YouTube videos says the pad is an R5 rating. I'm curious if my Xped XL would fit in the sleeve, maybe save some $$....
Their Ultralite coming out in the...
So I am a side sleeper and I also tuck one of my legs under my other leg to make the shape of a 4 when I sleep.
I find the mummy "V-Style" bags to restricting, especially in the foot box. But I also know that square bags are heavier and also more bulky for back pack hunting.
What are some good...
Federal & a couple other companies made defensive .410 ammo for revolvers like The Judge. It had disc's, and some buck shot.
But have no clue about them in hunting situations.
Several companies also have buck shot options with 3-4 pellets depending on buck shot size.
Largest .410 TSS I've...
+1 for the Apache. I bought mine for $95 one time with a couple coupons.
I carry my Swarovski ATX in one. I trust it explicitly with $5k of optics in it. Excellent.
Also have a long gun case & it's just as robust.
I sold Pelicans & other airplane strength cases, shoot with guys who have all...
Following.
I'm also considering a Nightforce vs. Trijicon Tenmile.
But I truthfully don't know the difference between the various models of Nightforce (NSX, NX8, SHV, etc.) They all seem to look the same to me, except for the different reticals, different magnification levels, MIL v MOA and...
My dad shoots 175gr Federal Terminal Ascent. I think that and the Trophy Bonded Tips are the best bullet design of all bullets.
Best of all worlds:
Bonded lead in the tip for expansiom
Ballistic Tip to help cut thru the wind
Solid copper shank at the bottom that it physically cannot pancake...
