    Leica CRF Pro Rangefinder

    Still no ETA on the replacement unit. I'm elk hunting in September so frustration is creeping in.

    The perfect hunting scope.

    I've never looked through an RS1.2. I can't seem to be online when they are in-stock.

    “Powered” pants: take 30 lbs of load off your body

    Imagine how heavy you'd feel when the batteries run out! "Wait up guys! I'm going to sit here and charge."

    The perfect hunting scope.

    I voted no. But we are "oh so close" with Maven RS1.2, Nightforce SHV F1, and Leupold Mark 4. I'm quite happy with the SHV and plan to use the RS1.2 on my next hunting rifle. But if I'm being super picky (because we are going for perfect), I want: Nightforce reliability. FFP/MIL similar to...

    My gear/pack layout from base layers to binos

    This season? September? I'm debating sending my k2 in for some maintenance or simply buying a k4 and relegating the k2 to back-up and training.

    Boots - are we doing it wrong

    Has anyone wearing minimal footwear, barefeet style, Altras for toe splay, etc. had trouble with ski boots? My ski boots are 10 years old now and have become unbearable. I'm curious if my foot has simply changed with time or if it's the transition in my footwear over the last ten years. Now...

    Boots - are we doing it wrong

    Altra Lone Peaks still have their "original" fit so they are good for toe splay. I just had to return Altra Superior 6. They were too tight. I hate that Altra is changing from what made them unique. I'm going to try out some Inov-8 for weightlifting and shorter cardio. I elk hunted the Missouri...

    Boots - are we doing it wrong

    I train in and wear daily zero drop and minimalist style shoes. Even my backpack hikes I'll wear my Altra Lone Peaks or similar with 60# or less. But put me in the mountains packing elk and I'll gladly take my Crispi Nevada. Your feet and ankles will be adequately developed, but then the added...

    Binos and rangefinder or bino/rangefinder combo?

    Rifle hunter: Leica Geovid-R 10x42 Bow hunter: Leica Trinovid 8x42 (Doug w/ Cameraland was running a sale on these earlier today) + Leica Rangemaster Pro If you don't mind a 1-2 second delay for your rangefinder to give you angle compensation, you could buy a Leica Rangemaster 2400-R and...

    What non-hunting podcasts do you listen to?

    Acquired is my new favorite. Hardcore History was great.

    Leica CRF Pro Rangefinder

    I still don't have my replacement unit. Leica USA says they are waiting on a shipment and will notify me as soon as my replacement ships.

    How did the 6.5 Creedmoor lose steam so quickly?

    Saw this thread bump back to top... I was at the local Fix & Feed here in rural Texas over the weekend. In their small ammo booth, 50% of the space was taken by Hornady PH in 6.5 CM. The other 50% was a mix of 30-06, .243, 9mm, .223, 12 ga, and 20 ga. I found that interesting. I still don't own...

    Which one are you choosing, NL Pure 14x52 or 10x52?

    I plan to buy 10x52s someday. I think it will be the ultimate low light field glass. (I.e. hunting!) Plus I own 15 SLCs which remain excellent for tripod use.

    why you use 8x binos out west

    The few times I've run 8s out west I wanted more power. Even if just a little more to quickly count points or put antlers on a cow/doe in low light. Run and gun situations not just sitting and glassing. I've never felt burdened by 10x42s in timber. I love the 8s I own, but I definitely prefer...

    Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44 new model

    I browse Rokslide fairly frequently. Honestly too frequently considering I'm at work. And yet, I miss every Maven RS1.2 Mil stock notification. You guys with multiples are better at internetting than me.

    Leica CRF Pro Rangefinder

    Leica is sending me a new rangefinder. I'll update again once it's here.

    Compact binos?

    The Maven B3 8x30 are a sweet little bino. Very clear image and a wonderful glass for my kids to use when they hunt with me. I had them for a few years in combo with my beloved 10x42 SLC. I too would take them turkey hunting. I ended up switching back to the SLCs for turkey hunting. The 8x30s...

    Revic BLR10b Rangefinding Binoculars

    What problems are the magnets causing with Revics? I love my Marsupial magnet harnesses. Just compass?

    Sig Sauer Kilo 10k Gen 2 Rangefinder Binos out!

    Interesting. I'm curious if you've compared the Meopta Optika LR to the GPO Rangeguides? I'm looking at RF binos in this price range. Or paying up for the Revics.
