    For all you Swarovski fans...

    I own a set of HD and have bought two more sets of WB in the last two years for my son and GF. Optically they look about identical. The focus knob on one pair of the WB's has gotten a little stiff/crunchy (needs to be sent back for cleaning/repair), but otherwise they have been great. I...

    rolling Ball effect???

    My understanding is that some people are sensitive to this, and some aren't. Not sure if it's dependent on the optics, the person, or both. I have SLC's (10x42) and see ZERO rolling ball effect in them. Great glass! When I tried using my buddies Vortex Vipers, they had it bad and gave me a...

    WTS Leupold BX-4 10x42 Pro Guide Bino's and Harness

    BINO's SOLD Shadow gray BX-4 10x42 in like new condition. They were purchased last summer as a gift and used for glassing for one weekend in September (stored in a Badlands bino case in the field). When I found out Swaro was discontinuing the SLC's, I decided to pick up a pair of those, so...

    EXO pack durability?

    This is a helpful thread. I'm on the fence between EXO, Kifaru and a couple others. I want made in USA, and like the fit of the EXO. The one hang-up I'm concerned about is how the waste belt attaches to the frame as that's what carries the load. Velcro? I understand the adjust-ability, but...

    Sold Redding Master Hunter Dies for 6.5CM

    Might be a long shot, didn't realize the stupidity of toilet paper shortages last year would extend to reloading dies/presses/etc. Looking for a set of Redding MH-C Deluxe dies (3 die set) in 6.5CM. Thanks!

    Opinions on Bino and Rangefinder please.

    What distance do you expect to need to range? Assuming you don't need a lot in MI, right? Are you wanting something that does ballistics (I assume not, since again, MI is probably shorter range shooting)? I'd look at Sig and Leica, but there are other good RF's. I highly recommend getting...

    So How are you guys Locating Elk?

    My personal belief is that too many people 'escout' and expect to find elk when the boots hit the dirt because the 'signs are right, it's prime area, water holes nearby, etc'. I've noticed that those people are the ones who usually end up seeing very little. There are unforeseen circumstances...

    New Mexico Livin'

    I grew up South of Alb, and have lived in Alb since college. The good about NM...decent hunting (elk is good, deer not so much save a few areas), green chile, diverse people group, public land, scenery and mountains. There is way more that's bad though. I didn't read all the replies, but...

    Muzzle Brake on a Hunting Rifle

    Both, but most recently with brakes. I use those simple orange headband looking earplugs, carry them on my bino case so they're ready. I have yet to have an issue with having enough time to put the ear plugs on, takes very little time. I hunt with a rifle like I do a bow, quietly and am not...

    Consew Sewing Machine

    From the pic, it looks like it's a Model 332R. I'm not familiar with that machine...I have a 206RB (great machine!). I do notice that it has reverse, so that's good. Does it have 2 needles? Everything I'm reading seems to indicate it does (or should). Sorry I can't help any further.

    Fleeing Californians and Property Values

    Property taxes follow suit as well for the locals. I've seen it happen in NM as well, Californian's come in and buy rentals and investments driving the cost of housing up, which raises both the cost to rent and the home values. The neighborhood value goes up due to the higher housing costs and...

    Help with new Leica 2800.com

    I can't directly compare the 2800.COM to the Sig 2400ABS, but can answer a few questions about the Sig 2400ABS as I have one. - Setting a 50yd zero appears to work fine (app accepts it without issue) - Not sure if it generates a better/easier to use ballistic curve, but it works pretty well so...

    Bino harness opinions

    Haven't used the Marsupial, looks decent. I really like the Badlands Mag case. Unlike the Marsupial, it seals all the way around. It keeps my SLC's clean regardless of whether I'm hiking, belly crawling, or riding the ATV or SXS. In fact, I went to wash it after my hunt this season and after...
