WTS Swarovski EL 8.5x42 near new, $1750 firm shipped/insured
LINK Bought these new in 2023 and Zeiss to compare, all of my thoughts and discussion of use in post #57 in the link. Objectively better glass than the Zeiss, but beyond my needs. Some time on a tripod, and a day of use from a padded enclosed harness. Not registered, includes all factory...- Bluto

Fletching jig that works (consistently?) And fletching 101 for me, apparently.
I always wondered why people would pay hundredS of dollars for a few arrows just because they were complete and you didn’t have to glue vanes. Now I know. Nothing works. I thankfully got 1/2 dozen good arrows with fletchings that actually stay on, they’re great. It took 2 dozen arrows worth... -
Zeiss SFL a year later? How do they stack up?
I’ve just about decided on 8x binos, and as a stand alone product or even stacked against other Zeiss products they seem to be a hit. At least in that context, we’ve all seen @robby denning reviews on them. For those that have field use and put them up against alpha offerings (directly or from... -
Hung up on bino power: 8 vs 10
Search didn’t turn much up, although I’m sure it’s been beaten to death somewhere. In the context of only considering elk archery hunting, what’s the score with power? I was convinced it was 10x or nothing but last year I rented alpha glass to try out but they only had some 8x and I’m not... -
Redfield safe (safes in general)
Okay, it was worth a shot on sale at Academy, so I grabbed a Redfield 30 gun safe. I expected a capacity of about half that, which is fine for now and what I need. I also expected that shelving was adjustable and would probably have to be to suit my needs. What I have is about a 0 gun safe. I... -
308 factory ammo for elk not named Nosler?
This is NOT a nock on Nosler. The partition is what I love, and what I wanted. The gun just hates them in 150, 165, or 180. Tried 165 accubonds as well, I figured it would like one or the other. Nope. (These were from Nosler trophy grade, Federal premium, and Choice Ammunition loads.) Here’s... -
It wasn’t Talley - it’s apparently me. Scope won’t stay fixed - Update: fixed. Added to first post
Okay, I would have sworn I had ring issues. Contacted Talley, they offered to take them back and spec them out. Ordered Leupold backcountry in the meantime, same exact result. Gun is a Weatherby Cinderlite (lightweight Mark V) in .308. Bone stock. Scope is a SWFA SS 3-9x42 FFP 30mm... -
Bino armor “sticking” to chest pack liner?
Tried to search this one down but couldn’t find anything. Last thing I did before returning my test binos was to check fitment and use in my chest rig. This revealed a new problem I hadn’t really thought of. Just when I was wavering on my lean towards the Zeiss and maybe deciding on... -
UPDATE a year later “Are alpha worth it?” How I answered it for me (answering?) Swaro, Zeiss, GPO…Maven
UPDATE 2023: The 2022 season took me to Wyoming. I ended up renting a set of Zeiss Victory SF. I was absolutely happy with them. Then Zeiss released the SFL 8x40 and I decided to move to 8’s which was a good move for me personally. YMMV. Update is at the end of this THREAD on page 3, post... -
NL Pure eyecups vs EL?
Doing some optics testing but don’t have a set of NL’s in my hand. For that that have used both - is the eye cup size/style and adjustment the same as the EL’s? And I guess while I’m asking - is there really a marked difference between the EL and NL performance beyond the FOV difference? -
Rings for Weatherby? I’ve had it with Talley - EDIT, nope, not Talley
I thought it was odd to have my first failure ever with Talley. It’s NOT Talley rings. Ordered replacement, exact same result. Calipers on the way to check scope tube spec, but I’m not seeing how it’s the problem. Solution is likely a new scope to get ready for this hunt, and figure this out as... -
Old tripod died. New options/recommendations
While attempting to gear back up for archery season I thought I was just adding upgraded binos. Apparently tripod just got added to the list. I had a Vortex Summit SS-P that suited me just fine, discontinued. I can’t even find a reliable source of how much it weighed, but I’d like to not go... -
Tripod basics?
I searched. Promise. Here, YouTube, etc. My problem is I don’t know what to call what I’m searching for, which is kinda funny even if frustrating. I have a vortex summit SS-P that has served fine, but it is not compatible. All I want, short term is, a way to attach an Aziak bino clamp to my... -
Someone with a 3D printer - make some money…
All bow manufacturers come up with good ideas. Nature of the business. Some come up with terrible ideas for the same solution. Someone with 3D printing skills: if you figure out an adapter to make the Mathews Engage Limb Legs fit other bows, you’d probably sell one for just about every other... -
Knife search - or where to look?
Posted a WTB in the classifieds just in case, but I’m guessing that’s some “that one in a million crap.” Looking for a Buck 113, but in S30V. Buck Custom shop still sells them, but they’re 6-8 weeks out. Tried eBay, it’s usually a spot to check for old/leftover stock or people unloading stuff... -
WTB Buck 113 skinner in S30V
Unlikely, but Just in case anyone has a previous cabelas (or any) version with S30V blade. Custom shop is 8 weeks out, don’t have that much time.- Bluto

G20 sidearm setup, what I’m missing
Yes, another Glock 20 question. Ive gotten somewhat dizzy reading threads and understanding thoughts and opinions are still all over the place, I still think the knowledge base here offers a good sanity check. Was just “going looking” today but the local guys offered me a new gen4 for a nice... -
Alpha glass “ownership” experience - and a rehash of “is it worth it…”
Let’s say the answer to the below has never changed, and I’m down to Swarovski and Zeiss. EL and Victory SF, 10x42’s. No RF’s, etc. Is their a discriminator in ownership from personal experiences? Warranty, customer service, maintenance/repair, things I haven’t thought of? Sometimes I think... -
WY Super tag oddity?
While I’ve been purchasing points for a while, I threw some cash at the Wyoming super tag raffle last night. Halfway through the following business day I have no email confirmation nor receipt, my G&F point profile shows nothing, and my “previous applications” is also blank other than my...- Bluto

Tried on my own - fail. Scope bases for Weatherby? Help.
I tried to make the call without another “which rings” thread and searched for a week - terrible F. Seekins rings showed up, no issue. The only two piece bases I could find were Warne, not even close to a fit. I wanted a set of Burris xtreme tactical bases, they don’t make a set for Weatherby 6...
