Maven binos

I just bought a pair of B1.2 10x42s. Made the purchase without using their Demo program (guess I got excited). I do like the optic capabilities of this unit but I have deeper eye sockets and the eye pieces are too large to be comfortable. I can use them best with the eyepiece "wings" from Field...

Anyone solo backcountry hunting over the age of 60?

10 shot group advice

Accurizing the rifle is the first step in getting the accuracy you are after. Sounds like the trigger is about right for hunting. Bedding the action and free floating the barrel is key. I use Glass Bed from Brownells for that work. Make sure your scope is properly fit to the rings (aligned and...
