    First hunting rifle, looking for scope advice.

    Try and scoop up a used Leupold VX5. Really anything in the VX3 lineup even the previous models are all great scopes. Not sure how much power you need but if you can find old stock nikon monarch golds... they were/are good scopes for the money too. Suspect you could find what was a $500+...

    G5 rock sight help

    Hi All, I run an old g5 rock sight. I love the sight but it has been discontinued several years ago. The pins are still bright and I want to continue using it. My issue is the blue colored level...my eyes are getting worse and the blue hue has faded and leaves the level more or less unusable...

    Caliber for Daughter??

    A solid 243 with good shot placement will drop any deer or elk out to 300 yards reliably. I think people underestimate the damage a 100 grain soft point can do. Pretty sure a lot of people even take moose with a 243 at closer distances. You might also consider a 257 weatherby or 25-06...

    WTS Leupold Gold Ring 12-40x60 HD Spotting Scope Kit

    Probably the best scope in its class and a heck of a lot of scope for the money. I had one and used for several seasons. GLWS.

    Versatile hunting dog?

    Pretty tough to beat a GWP. You can teach them just about anything. It is all in the training. They are also great family dogs. Be prepared though they have energy and you have to exercise them.

    SD public land

    Southern part of the state has been dry. For simplification id call anything south of brookings the cutoff line for moisture. I am originally from the Aberdeen area, and outside of the last rain event I don't think it has been none to wet. There are swaths that have had moisture though.

    WTB Spotting scope $2K budget

    Just a personal opinion...buy just about any older generation alpha glass...good kowa or swaro will retain their value quite well over anything else. They worked great when they were new and they still work great today.

    WTB Browning Xbolt Predator 22-250

    Just wanted to throw another option out there if you are predator hunting. Sako A7 coyote can probably be had for similar money and will be far superior to the browning. 24" barrel. Food for thought. It is light and easily one of my favorite rifles. It is a tac driver.

    Slik 824 CF Tripod Super Sale - Made in Thailand

    I am looking for a quality tripod and head for a swarovski STX running up to a 95mm objective. I have no experience with the head that comes in this package. Is this a large enough pan head for a STX 95mm?

    STX tripod recommendations

    I am looking for recommendations on a tripod for my swarovski stx. I plan on running the 65mm majority of the time, but will eventually pick up the 95 for antelope/truck hunting. I need something that will be comfortable for a height range of 5'6 to 6'. I mainly hunt the dakotas which has a...

    College vs skilled trades.

    Civil Engineer here I can weight in on this a little from both perspectives. Growing up my Father was a self employed millwright (iron worker, master welder, jack of all trades) and is one of the more competent people you'll ever meet with only an 8th grade education. He made a solid living...

    Sold Swarovski SLC 10x42WB Habicht

    I have a pair just like this with swarobright i think 2005 model. Compared them to my dads newer nikon monarch 5 ($800) at the time 2016?..and the swaros still were brighter and clearer. You just can't go wrong with this glass...really IMO at almost any price point.

    200 grain AccuBond in 300 Weatherby?

    I can give some minor insight here. I shoot a 300 weatherby with the 165 gr accubonds using 77gr of imr 4831 chronoed at 3066. It groups quite nicely. My father shoots a 30-378 with 180 gr accubonds using H50BMG powder. I don't have his load data for that, but it shoots lights out...not the...

    What kitchen items for a Wedding Registry?

    Large quality cutting board, quality chefs knife, couple quality pans and a good stock pot. A heavy porcelain / cast dutch oven...if your wife bakes cant say good enough about a kitchenaid. It works wonders for just about anything and is easy cleanup.
