    Poor man’s sprinter van

    A suburban is the Cadillac of vehicle camping without getting into ridiculous overland rigs. This was my setup for my roundtrip to the panhandle of ID from western PA. I had to make a cardboard wedge (pictured) to bridge the height difference between the 2nd & 3rd rows.

    Why do old Leupold scopes go for so much?

    I'm big on aesthetics. I have an 80's Ruger Tang Safety that is hot blued. I prefer a glossy finish scope on it and purposely sought out after an older Leupold VX-1 3-9x40 to get that look. Is it necessary, no. Does it look good and do what I need it to, sure does!

    Zeiss Z-MOA Reticle for Hunting

    I have this same scope/reticle on my 300WM. My 35yo eyes don't have any issues picking up the reticle in low light conditions. The reticle is more bold in person compared to online pictures. Between the light transmission and image clarity I don't feel that not being illuminated hinders the...
