I’ve definitely been tempted! I watch alot of the pattern videos on YouTube. And the gear nut part of me makes the temptation worse. But when a box of 5 shells is 40-60$ and the decent chokes are sitting at 60-80$ it gets less tempting in a hurry. I’ll probably succumb to temptation eventually...
Appealing to “different sectors” is not the issue at all. That should be pretty clear. We are on a hunting forum, talking about a company that makes a lot of money from the hunting community, actively agreeing with statements made by an anti gun advocate. Why would a person who enjoys hunting...
The big thing with them is the price. They’re just a nice cheap and effective little gun. Most guys don’t want to setup their other field guns with optics and super tight chokes. So they go buy one of these with the pic rail already on the gun and for a small price you’ve got a cheap little...
With this and Mystery Ranch becoming a designer fashion brand is disappointing. I think in these times it’s more important than ever to be careful what type of companies to support. Fortunately there’s no shortage of good companies to choose from.
For 25-30 bucks the Sofirn is a no brainer. Competes with the peax that’s 3 times the price with relative ease. I like having a rechargeable battery since I have kids that love to play with any flashlight or headlamp I have! Buy an extra 18650 battery and be done
Kings Ridgeline for early (way under rated on here!)
Kings Preacher for mid to late
If it’s really cold the lone peaks are awesome! Often wear them ice fishing and undo the side zips when pulling the sled. They are a heavy pant so it definitely needs to be pretty cold for them though. Really is...
Probably not what people were wanting to hear, including myself. Wish kowa made their 66 with the premium glass. That would possibly be the “ONE”. I personally think if your going to the 77 might as well go all in on a 80-90+ class spotter.
For the price I can’t see the peax competing with the fenix or nitecore options. One major thing I noticed is the peax only has an ipx6 rating while the other two are ip68 which speaks volumes to me considering peax is charging the same price but didn’t bother to get theirs the extra rating...
Thanks for all the replies! I think I’ll purchase both and experiment. I can’t see pants being as quick and easy as a blanket but I can see them being warmer
Anyone use a UL puffy quilt over puffy pants for extended glassing in the cold? Thinking it would be about as effective and much quicker to stuff away and go if needed to in a hurry to make a play on an animal. Seems like a lot of situations you don’t want to take off after something while...
