I really like my Marsupial non-magnetic harness.
Great quality, well designed. Definitely agree with other users in that it's "minimalist". The side pockets aren't very usable, and the front pocket only has room for very small items.
If you don't need to store much beyond your binos, the...
My hunting rifle is a 6.5 Creedmoor cut to 18", using a 5" suppressor.
With such a short barrel length, I'm using 123 scenars to achieve velocity. Not enough barrel length to move the heavier projectiles at an appropriate speed, IMO.
Some of the short and fat cans have more of a recoil impulse similar to a muzzle brake than traditional longer/skinny cans.
My Abel Co Biscuit recoils more like a muzzle brake, quick to get back on target and no real noticeable dwell or slow push like a traditional suppressor. I use mine...
The Kowa Genesis' give nothing up to Swaro's in glass quality, perhaps some small nuances that matter to some folks. Once you get to this level it's mostly a matter of personal preference.
I'm not sure if the Kowa Genesis are in the budget, but they are an excellent value for their quality...
I've been nothing but impressed with my Kowa's.
They don't seem to give up much compared to the Swaro's I've looked through. Perhaps edge to edge clarity is a bit better on the Swaro's.
Honestly the differences once you get to this tier in optics is small nuances. For some those small...
That's good to know. Will have to be something to keep on top of when reloading for my .300NM.
I also don't like how its two separate companies, one of which has no desire to acknowledge or support the other (Adam @ Autotrickler). So getting help with any issues could be a problem.
I actually just ordered one not too long ago - waiting for it to be ready.
I love my autotrickler, but the trickler portion is a definite weak link. I think the IP trickler will really make that system more optimal. I also went and purchased a V3 board for my V2 Autotrickler.
It is really nice! I could do without all the whitethorn acacia's though, I must've walked through acres and acres of the stuff on Monday.
Arizona in general is such a beautiful state. I love the geographical diversity, I've really appreciated it since moving here a few years ago.
As someone who comes from the world of target shooting (long range/PRS type stuff), I find it really disappointing how many behave when they are out target shooting.
Leaving trash everywhere, not being respectful of others, not being safe, and doing absolutely dumb stuff like what happened to...
It certainly could've been ricochets.
Some of the shots were very close together, so my brain could've interpreted the previous gunshots with the projectiles flying overhead.
While I'm very experienced with rifles, I've never been shot at nor worked the pits before.
I think some of you are...
Today I was out hunting West of Benson AZ, just north of Mescal in Unit 33 for mule deer. I was hunting in AZ State Trust Land, East of Mescal Road by mile marker 3, to provide some context for those that know the area.
Didn't have much luck in the morning, saw a few doe but no bucks. By the...
My guess would be that people are upgrading to NL Pures.
People who buy Swarovski do so because they can afford it and want the best of the best. The NL Pures currently represent that top tier, so I would guess people are selling their "older" Swaro's to get the current top of the line.
I'm also in the hunt for 15x56 binos, but also looking for a good value proposition.
Here is what I've found are typical prices of used high quality 15x56 binos on Rokslide:
Meopta Meostar 15x56: $1000-$1100
Zeiss Conquest HD: ~$1300
Swarovski 15x56 SLC: $1800-2000
If new, CameraLandNY is an...
I'm just getting into the hunting game. My background is precision rifles, of which I have plenty of long, heavy contoured barrels.
For a hunting barrel, I decided to have my gunsmith spin up an 18" 6.5 Creedmoor in a contour similar to Bartleins 3B for my Mausingfield. I wanted to save on...
My wife has an allergy to a specific wheat protein, so she eats gluten free. She's really active, including hikes, and whenever we go together we only bring GF foods.
Some items to consider:
- Oats for breakfast
- Snacks such as stinger waffles (they make a GF version), Clif Energy Bloks...
