    Would you buy this scope?

    3-12x44, no parallax adjust, zero stop/locking elevation, capped windage, $1000ish dollars is the winner. If retail price has to go up with above features you’d lose some buyers, but I wouldn’t compromise too hit $1000. Aweful lot of people would jump in at $1,500 too. A functional, clean...

    Nightforce SHV 4-14x50 F1 best reticle option?

    MOAR is an MOA reticle Mil-R is a mil reticle. Pick the reticle based on what you shoot. I have an shv with the moar reticle. Don’t love it…don’t hate it. It works fine. The MIL-R doesn’t look appreciably different, save for the fact that you’d be shooting in mils if you went that direction.

    A health revolution brewing?

    Was in Sardinia Italy for two weeks this summer, and the diet over there is drastically different. My wife and I ate (and drank) more than usual. We both came back leaner. Simply put, they eat real food. Almost no shit in a package with long ingredient lists. Meat, seafood, cheese...

    Powering a chest freezer at a motel

    Try to get it frozen before you hit the road. Bring the extension cords and use them if you can. Plan B would be to chuck some dry ice in there if you can’t power the freezer for a day or two. Almost all grocery stores carry it now.

    Guys I need your input on blood pressure. I don’t want to mess up

    Don’t get on meds for that BP. Not a doctor, but take BPs on med aids every day at work as a fireman, and 131 systolic is not high. Maybe make a lifestyle change and try to knock it down a few points if it makes you feel good, but what should be alarming is that a doc was trying to prescribe...

    SWFA website updated; More to come in 2024

    No. But I find it increasingly funny how weird SWFA is in their business practices. Create a scope that lots of people want that’s based on an existing design with literally zero R&D. Then just absolutely fail at making them. Take back orders for close to 2 years with no deliveries. I wish...

    Deck Refinishing Conundrum (What Paint to Use)

    If the intention is to get it to bare wood so you can stain it, I’d rent a floor sander and have at it. Just make sure to counter sink your nails or screws before you run it and I’d imagine you’d have it done pretty quick. I hate paint stripper and pretty much always just sand stuff versus...

    Best picatinny rings?

    Gotcha. No experience with them and didn’t catch that the conversation was specific to arc rings.

    Best picatinny rings?

    Not for the ring caps. 18-25in/lbs is a pretty normal range for ring caps. I do 25in/lbs on my nightforce with no issues. For bases to the rail refer to scope mfg. stanag style 1/2” nut bases like mountain techs I toque to 65in/lbs.

    I’m in the south as well. Ran into a few guys who were successful. Couple forked horns and one solid bigger buck.

    A zone 2024

    Rifle opener is upon us. Who’s getting after it? I was out this morning and it was only 97 degrees by 11:30. Saw one doe. Supposed to cool down next week.

    Newb with Ladder loading questions

    I see you didn’t take the advice that was offered back in June. https://rokslide.com/forums/threads/for-the-ones-running-a-10-shot-ladder-load-for-load-dev.364140/ Edit: And if you don’t trust what you are hearing here, maybe give the most recent Hornady podcast a listen. They cover this very...

    CA top 2% club, who else is in it?

    This 100%. The spot I killed last years a zone deer was a spot I’d hunted pigs unsuccessfully, and band tailed pigeon very successfully, and happened to see a lot of deer there every time. Its a spot I would have over looked had I not been there prior.

    Budget Cooler Recommendations

    Best large cooler for cheap is a diy job with the white 1.5” r-tec foam insulation board at Home Depot. Get a few rolls of white duct tape and make one for less than $50. I make large 300+ qt ones and they last several years. They weigh nothing and can stash them in the rafters of your shop...

    Stuff overheard at the range or local gun shop

    Range last week I heard an old guy tell another old guy he was likely missing at 300yds because he wasn’t accounting for spindrift.

    Beginner reloading set up A-Z

    Pretty good list you have. Add some digital calipers and a bullet comparator to measure cartridge base to ogive. Seating primers can be as simple and cheap or as expensive as you want to make it. I just use the basic hand primer tool and think it’s fine. A Lee dedicated de priming die is nice...

    Beginner reloading set up A-Z

    I would skip buying a kit and instead make a list of all things you want and buy separately. It will be more money up front but you won’t end up replacing things, so less money in the long run and you’ll end up with stuff you want. I’d suggest starting with a good single stage press. As for...

    30-06 for everything????

    The effects of humidity changes on wood stocks causing POI shift have been largely exaggerated over the years. Is it possible? Yes. But a properly bedded, free floated wood stock with all wood properly sealed isn’t the liability that it’s made out to be.
