    Athlon Helos BTR Gen2 2-12x42 Reviews?

    I have an MOA version I can send you. I haven't built the SPR yet that it's supposed to go on. Probably won't get around to building it for a couple more months so it's no big deal to send you the scope to tear up in the meanwhile. PM me if you want to work that out.

    Athlon Helos BTR Gen2 2-12x42 Reviews?

    So far, I've replaced a Viper HSLR with the Helos on my TC Dimension 7mm mag using Warne Maxima rings. I was originally going to put my SWFA 3-9 on it but I like it on my 30-06 way too much to want to switch. This rifle reliably shoots 0.9 - 1.2 MOA groups from the prone, using PPU soft points...

    Road trip and radio stations

    Honestly, podcasts put me to sleep. I guess I've just never been all that interested in other people's conversations. I love audiobooks though. My recommendation: Get the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, Al Green's greatest hits, and a good audiobook. A man on a road trip needs nothing else...

    Good scope for my 270 deer rifle?

    Let me pile on with a few of the others and recommend the Accupoint 3-9x40. I've been eyeballing the green mildot version for close to a year and reading every review I could find. I plan on putting it on a light 30-06 for areas where my shots will always be inside of 350 yds. Priced at just...

    2-10x vs 3-15x Hunting Scope

    I understand what you were asking about. Low quality scopes sometimes change point of aim when magnification is adjusted. I have never heard of Leupold having that issue, however, many users here on Rokslide report losing zero due to bumpy car rides, drops, and shooting 500+ rounds. You might...

    How's everybody make a living

    Semi retired with a pension just big enough to pay the bills. Have a small farm and a rental home that pays for everything else. I do various gigs, odd jobs, and dabble in trading to keep busy. I spend the rest of my time being controversial here on rokslide.

    Eye damage from Glassing at Sunset…..

    I'm glad it was temporary for you! I ended up with permanent sun damage to my eyes after spending a couple years in the big sandbox overseas. I had a nice pair of aviator sunglasses but didn't like to wear them all the time. Whoops! Now I get to wear presciption sunglasses all the time! Unless...

    Meeker Colorado Wolf Attack

    It's interesting that you're calling me out for not having seen a wolf. I haven't spent time outdoors in any of the provinces and states you listed. Have you seen wolves in the states that I said I've spent considerable time in? Or do you have a problem with reading comprehension and making...

    Meeker Colorado Wolf Attack

    I don't own any trail cams because I hunt on my own property. As far as I know, there hasn't been any sightings within at least a 10 minute drive of me. Also, if you bothered to follow my suggestions, you'd see that NW IL isn't all farms. Thats all besides the point though because I don't...

    Did you click the link I provided and see where the packs actually roam? You should look at Google Earth too and you'll see that NW IL is not urban. Education is critical for meaningful contributions here.

    Meeker Colorado Wolf Attack

    The good news is that wildfires generally improve elk habitat so you guys might actually see a jump in population over the next few years. If you guys want sources on that, I can provide them. As far as suitable habitat goes, I don't really know. If everything I've read on here and elsewhere is...

    Meeker Colorado Wolf Attack

    Your first point was that I didn't provide a verifiable source for my claim that wolves pass through my county. I have now provided you with a link that describes where wolves have been spotted. My county is listed in there. Thank you for asking for a source! Yes, you should "leave it alone"...

    Hey now, those figures can't be true! According to one disgruntled fella, the CPW is lying about the numbers! Haha

    Meeker Colorado Wolf Attack

    If you're done with this thread then I'm not going to waste anymore of my energy on you. If you don't already understand why isolated events, unquantifiable events (by me), unseen events, and a sheep pile up shouldn't be included in the equation....I don't know what to tell you. I don't think...

    That is a lot of elk, for sure! Like I said before though, this is a basic and flawed equation. It doesn't account for any variables beyond just the one. In the 2017 IDFG statewide report, the leading cause of mortality for cow elk and calves (radio collared, approximately 860, across 21 zones)...

    I get what you're saying but I don't know if including livestock predation into this equation is helpful. I've looked at the official numbers in a couple states and they're probably lower than what people imagine. I guess it depends which side of things you want to argue from? Rancher or hunter...

    Meeker Colorado Wolf Attack

    This raises the biggest question that I have about wolf introduction anywhere: What is a sustainable wolf population? How many before it's too much? I know many here think 'one wolf is too many' but that's a pretty goofy mentality. The exception to that would be if people are saying "No"...

    Meeker Colorado Wolf Attack

    Observing wolves? Are they really so prevalent that I can just visit these places and see them in action? I've spent a considerable amount of time in Alaska, Washington, and Wisconsin and never saw wolves. So you've seen wolves slaughter animals in all these locations? Or did someone tell you...
