    Is the RS1.2 right for me?

    I'm ready to pull the trigger on a new optic for my 6UM but am still undecided. Currently running a NF SHV SFP that has been great but am ready to try out FFP/mils. My biggest concern is usability of the reticle at low magnification. I hunt everything from dark, tight woods where 50 yards would...

    Proud dad moment

    I am fortunate that my wife’s family are farmers and get a significant amount of depredation doe tags every year. This year I headed out for the last day of primitive season and passed on a young 8pt. The next morning was opening rifle season. I doubled up on two does within 5 minutes of each...

    Finally have some confidence

    In my rifle set up. I had to put down my Tikka 300wsm the last couple years after developing a flinch. Last year I topped my Ruger American 6.5 creed with a Nightforce SHV 4-14 sitting in a pair of Warne rings. That set up rode in the bed of my truck for ~ 700 miles, all over the farm in the...

    Broke my dry spell

    I’ve been hunting my in laws farm for 6 years now. Missed a good buck 2 years ago, and didn’t get anything last year. Finally this morning right after shooting light this buck and doe walked out ~300 yards away. Buck went down, doe didn’t move and they are both going in the freezer now. This...

    Anyone with a Silvertip and bpwd net?

    I know it’s unlikely, but do you have tips for getting the two set up together? I finally got around to setting mine up but I cannot for the life of me get the two set up together without there being excess slack in the net, or the net peak being too high and it extending outside the dimensions...

    This may help someone, pitching with trekking piles

    I had been considering getting a trekking pole hitch so I could use them instead of taking a center pole with my SO Silvertip. I had the idea this week that I could remove a section of pole from one and slide the tip, just the tip, of the other into that spot, if that makes sense. Tried it out...

    WTS Remington 700 BDL 7RM

    This is an adl converted to bdl with hs precision stock, bottom metal and timney trigger. The gun does have some extraction issues, it will not reliably pull fired cartridge out of chamber. I haven’t shot it in ~5 years now, but the last thing I tried was replacing the extractor and that...

    Tikka help

    Nightforce SHV and Warne rings came in today. The original rings on the gun were put on by the shop I purchased it at. Removed old rings and found that I’m going to need the original screws that were in the receiver top(pic below), but can’t find what size they are. Help would be much...

    Shortage effecting your process?

    I took last year off from hunting and shooting while finishing up college and am about to get back into it. I used to do the typical load three rounds and shoot for groups. With the current shortage, along with everyone else, I’m struggling to find components. I was finally able to source...

    Kids with a stove

    Hey y’all My SO 8 person tipi and stove came in a couple weeks ago and we are looking at taking our 2yo on her first camping trip. For those that have done it, do y’all have any safety tips to keep kids from getting too close to the stove? My thought was some type of foldable fence type...
