    WTB Rokslide member trying to scam

    I rarely use PayPal, so I am a novice at that, but why do sellers get so hung up on having payment sent under the "friends and family" method? Especially when they clearly are not friends, family or even acquaintances. Wouldn't using the regular PayPal solve the fraud problem? I've only...

    A Different Colorado OTC Thread

    Huntsman21 and the others all have a lot of great points. This one re fitness and terrain is memorable for me. I've lived in the Seattle area for over 25 years now and have climbed a few of the glaciated peaks, including Rainier. Someone once asked "oh my gosh, wasn't that hard". My answer...

    Hi Bill. I sent you a text. Trying to figure out how to do PayPal since I always use Zelle. Katabatic Gear is great and I hope my daughter likes it....

    WTS Swarovski ST80 Spotting Scope

    12x42 NL vs 12x50 EL: Low light differences

    Digging for Gold: Good to know. Have you compared them at last and first light?

    12x42 NL vs 12x50 EL: Low light differences

    I can't offer first hand feedback, but I have read a ton of reviews and comments mostly here on Rokslide. My conclusion (from reading) was that knowledgeable folks with experience with both indicate better light gathering with the 50's. Apparently the difference is measured in minutes of...

    Swarovski customer service

    I posted a new thread today "Kudos to Swarovski". Maybe I should have simple put it in this thread, but at least the new thread has a positive headline. Perhaps others can post their good experiences there (sorry, I'm new to this process of posting on forums). I've had nothing but great...

    Kudos to Swarovski

    Kudos to Swarovski. Sent a 30 year old pair of 10x42 SLC's in to have a minor issue addressed (I'm the original owner). I received a form email acknowledgement within 24 hours of USPS making the delivery. Within 48 hours of receipt they emailed me personally, indicating they had examined the...

    Synthetic Glassing Puffy

    Back to the top in case there is still interest in the topic and to add to the favorable recommendation for Nunatak. Most off the shelf stuff is not in the same league as Nunatak's Apex gear in terms of either warmth or weight. My dead bird synthetics aren't even close to the Nunatak for...

    Okay thanks. I had a chance to zoom in on the picture and figure that out also, sorry for bothering you with the question.

    Sold Outdoorsman pan head and Promaster XC-M 522C

    Is it the OD fluid pan head or the non-fluid? If fluid, I’m interested.

    Really Right Stuff

    I'm a little late on this post, but also a new member. Thought I should offer up my experience with bullheads, in case it is helpful to anyone. I've had 3 over the years and I'll comment on the RRS. I too love RRS "stuff" and I have had a BH-40 ballhead for over a decade. Far and away the...

    It ain’t just ammo

    Being of conservative persuasion but working with many liberals, not to mention liberal family members, clients and colleagues, I find that keeping political discourse out of otherwise friendly discussions is a better path towards good relations. Not that I always take my own advice... Now...

    Hip Quiver for Hunting

    I'll try to add a picture of my hip quiver. Used it for a few Colorado elk hunts, but ultimately retired it. I found the quiver to be fiddly when sitting down, but not too much of a problem walking around. I'd be willing to sell to someone that wants to check on out. I'll try to add pictures...

    A Different Colorado OTC Thread

    I know 471 well and have some knowledge of 43. I suggested 471 as a possibility to someone last year and they went for it based on their assessment that access would be relatively easy. Access seemed to be their main criteria. It was a bust for him because 1) monster snowstorm right before he...

    I'll bet that book would be available from a library. And nobody uses libraries anymore, so it might actually be available for checkout!

    A Different Colorado OTC Thread

    I'm sure you'll get some great tips, but I suggest you buy a book because I think you would benefit from that much information. One tip, mind the wind and understand the local impact of prevailing winds, updrafts, downdrafts, vortexes across ridge tops, etc. Example: You'll get an updraft...

    Guidelines for Posting in the Correct Forums

    New member. Looking for advice. I am clueless about "posting a thread". I've searched and have not found an instructional on how / what. So, yeah, I probably sound like an idiot...and maybe there are instructions but I missed them, please accept my apology in advance if so. Here goes...

    Eastern Washington Transplant

    Welcome to the forum (I am new also). I have now lived on the Wet side of WA for 26 years, having moved here from the MidWest. Since you are in E. WA you have advantages for hunting. Here is one suggestion for you - the Pasayten Wilderness is a less known and less used area in WA. If you...
