    How are people affording these crazy home prices?

    Yea its crazy what prices are up to. Bought my place in 2015 and easily doubled in value, really should have pulled together the extra $100k to get a similar place on an acreage back then. Still starting to shop though and will pull the trigger fall 2025 or spring 2026 on what will at least be...

    Best fixed power scope

    Yea agree with you on that, most guns have a reasonable MPBR in the 250-300 range and on the lower end can still hold on hair out to 300 just fine. It would be nice to have the ability to dial for longer shots as an option. Bigger concern is a reasonable cost scope that reliably holds zero. Also...

    Best fixed power scope

    Thanks, great to know. It might be worth waiting in that case. I ordered a pair of the RS1.2s for my longer range rigs but I have a few other rifles that if I am going to keep I need to re-glass with something more reliable but that does not cost over a grand a pop and something like a fixed 6...

    Best fixed power scope

    They have anything even remotely close to that price range?

    Best fixed power scope

    Now that the SWFA 6s have been discontinued is there an option either 6 or4 that dials and holds zero? Ideally less than or near $500

    How many of us regularly shoot at long distance for practice?

    At home I can only get to around 45 yards, used to shoot at a club where 80 was very common and could get to 100 being creative. Not sure the extra 20 did much but 80 really helped me I think.

    CWD Impact in WI

    There are some reports attempting to link two cases of CJD in humans to eating infected deer but it spurious at best. It wasn't even confirmed they ate infected deer, just hunted in an area where infections rates are high. There is no evidence of human transmission.

    Quitting Alcohol

    I stopped drinking a little over three years ago. Was hard the first week or two but after that it was pretty easy, felt better, lost a little weight, recovered from workouts better, slept better. There are very few settings where I miss it honestly, occasionally at a nice restaurant with other...

    Upland Bird Hunting Ear Pro

    I hated the sound gear instant fit, they did ok for gunfire but would amplify the hell out of leaves crunching, or god forbit a bag of chips. Wish I could try a good custom fit pair before dropping the $$ for some.

    Scope caps

    I know this is old but just curious if you use a level? Just mounted this same set up today but with a UM level and the cap trigger is right in the way of it No, sorry, i meant all set up the release trigger blocks the view of the level mounted on the rail. I guess I could just have it flip...

    Your favorite hunting knife?

    Got mine last night, the regular non-magnacut. Seems like a nearly ideal design, will have to keep my eye out for a magnacut drop as well I think. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Thompson 50 cal for $200?

    Yea those are nice guns, pretty hard to regret that one at $200 unless the bore is rusted or pitted.

    Considering getting a Tikka T3X…

    I just got a T3X in 6.5cm. I had toyed with the 308 because I have a bunch of ammo on hand (target practice stuff not high quality stuff) but they have a rather slow barrel for that round, does not matter with lighter loadings but can with heavy. 6.5 seemed like the best option for me though I...

    10 year home equity loan questions

    A heloc would likely save you money in this case. Rather than a lump sum they approve you for a fixed amount, lets say its the $150k and you can basically just write checks against that. So you are taking out the $ as you need it and only taking out what you need, that way you are not paying...

    10 year home equity loan questions

    Why not a HELOC, seems like a way better fit for this type of scenario.

    Why suppressors?

    Fair enough, hearing protection would be my main priority for one though.

    Would you buy this scope?

    I was checking out my new rs1.2 this morning and wishing it was a little smaller 3-12. I would be in for one of these.
