    5 yo first time shooting questions

    Started my daughter with a BB gun then to a S&W M&P 15/22 with a Redfield red dot with laser. I didn’t want a smaller rifle that most likely wouldn’t be use after a few years. The ar was loaded as a single shot at first and with the adjustable stock and pistol grip she was more comfortable than...

    Scope Recommendation for Kids

    I run the Leupold vx freedom or vx-2 in 3-9x40 on 4 rifles in 45/70 and 450 bm along with many others I hunt with. We never had one fail and plenty clear. The 2-7x33 is nice also! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Backpacking belts to hold up your trousers

    I’ve been wearing Grip6 belts for a few years now and I think they are light, rugged, and never had one loosen up even packing elk out with my 10mm on my hip. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Affordable rangefinders that work out to 1000 yards

    The Leica 1600b or 2000b here in the classifieds or eBay. You usually can get them in the $350+ range. Mine range the distance they state plus baro press, temp, and shot angle. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    mini excavator

    Those tiny ones imo are only for small tight areas and small trenches for drains or running conduit. They can have trouble getting through roots, rocky or hard ground. Something in the 8k to 12k pound class can get some work done and still be pulled behind a 2500 or 3500. If you only want it for...

    Best rangefinder brand for longevity????

    Leica for me! I have an old 900 still going strong and I have the 1600b, 2000b, and 2700b never an issue to date. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Outdoor Wood Boiler Heating System

    All the people I know including myself that run older Hardy’s seem to have the normal wear and tear stuff go bad like the water pump maybe an aqua stat or relay but not often. I’ve only had to change my pump once in 10 years and I think my relay. My cousin runs 50% ethylene glycol in his so he...

    G20 vs G29 10mm for Backcountry

    I use a Leupold micro on my G40 gen 4 even though mine is mos I didn’t want a big red dot sight. It fastens in the dovetail after you remove the rear sight. I’ve shot it out to 50 yards and was happy with the performance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Kuiu glomite?

    I never used a warmer in mine, never felt I had to. I wear the strngfleece 220 under the glommit but it’s so when I take the glommit off my hands don’t start freezing immediately. IMO they are very warm and will be in my pack if it’s below freezing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Deviated Septum

    My ENT prescribed a Budesonide Inhalation Suspension. It’s a medication I add to 8oz of distilled water with a saline packet to rinse through my nasal cavity. It definitely works for me! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    6mm Magnum vs 6 CM +P

    If the case has the room for the extra powder and you want more speed with the same components that you already have go for it. You would have to keep on top of the +p rounds vs the non so you don’t load a +p in a non +p chamber. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Christensen ridgeline barrel contour and stock fit

    I have my Ridgeline in the VG2 ultra light and it’s the m24/proof sendero. I’m not up on the FFT’s so not sure if it has the same barrel contour. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    300 ackley improved

    Is there a company that makes 30-06 ai ammo for you since you don’t reload? I guess I’m lost on your 3006 ai shooting 300 ai! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    300 ackley improved

    How much case volume do you want? 300 Norma or 300 Lapua improved or just run a Norma or Rum in a non improved case, still big 30 cals.

    Score this buck.

    I’d say 135, nice buck for the hills of PA especially if there’s no ag fields around. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How does one become a poacher?

    I agree that the severity is much different but I still feel a person can get comfortable doing bad things negating the severity of their actions in their own mind. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How does one become a poacher?

    How does one become a poacher? He or she gets caught! IMO most people don’t think what they are doing is all that bad, until they get caught. I would bet most people are guilty of speeding down a road or highway, you’re breaking the law but if you don’t get caught you still do it. If you get...

    Rental car limiting your hunt?

    Weather mainly ice/snow has stopped my group from traveling some mountain roads in MT a couple times. The rental truck was fine and I don’t believe any of our personal trucks would have been any better. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
