    Aoudad Ft Davis

    Had the pleasure to hunt with Roy Hurley at H.E. Sproul in March and had a great time with my son. Pretty wild country and I was amazed at how rugged the landscape was and the amount of wildlife. Ended up with a 30.5” and 33.5” Aoudad and two cow elk. Saw a giant 6x6 bull elk and plenty of mule...

    Zeiss LRP s3 4-25x50 to NF ATACR 4-16x42

    anyone have side by side experience with the two? I have the LRP s3 and like it fine but it's prob more magnification than I need hunting. I do like to zoom in more but limiting my field of view is a problem on follow up shots. I also want to go down in bulk/profile. Low profile turrets and...

    Puffy/insulated pants in tall sizes?

    My son is 32” waist and 36” inseam. We have found Stone Glacier pants that work but I need to find him some insulated or fleece lined pants for sitting in colder conditions. I’m leaning towards puffy for comparability but sizes are standard with no talls/longs that I’ve found yet. If anyone...

    Kicking around building another rifle in 6mm, 6.5cm or 6.5prc. DIY - I’m no smith but no slouch with tooling and details. Shooting more and want to have another bolt gun for practice and hunting. Is there a best practices prefit route to go? Is it better to do chassis and not bed or carbon...

    What causes this and would you reuse the brass?

    This is a 7prc Hornady 175g Precision Hunter factory load. It was very hard to pull back the bolt and eject. I’m accumulating brass and have yet to get into reloading. Please educate me on what signs to look for on a case. Why the burn marks on the edge? What can be done to prevent this in the...

    Now that my do it all 7prc build is done….i want another…why is this always the case

    This was supposed to be it. My do it all left handed 7prc 24” barrel. Didn’t want too light or too heavy. But now I’m looking at another. 6mm to 6.5prc with an 18-20’ barrel. ANY reason to not go 6mm? leaning that way. Should be more than enough for most game. Who makes the go-to 60degree left...

    Boyt H52SG hard case and pressure on optic

    Greetings. How tight is too tight for a hard case with pressure on the optic? My rifle was shipped with a Boyt H52SG case and with the width of the Zeiss LRP S3, it feels like most of the pressure is on the windage/parallax turrets to the point where the case is pretty tough to close. It's...

    Digiscope mounts for iPhone 15pro & Athlon Ares

    Looking for mounting options for iPhone 15pro and Ares G2 15-45 65mm spotting scope. I didn’t do the “cry once” and buy the high $ / more popular brands and wondering if anyone with the G2 Ares has a phone mount you like that works well. Will probably get used most at the range and I hope to...

    AB Raptor suppressor - Reflex

    has anyone run one of these with or without the Reflex? Mine are in jail. Have a 6 and 8 stack with a 2" and 4" reflex. I ordered bull barrel size reflex which they'll let me swap to standard if they're unused. I went with bull size reflex just in case I ever swap barrels or get a carbon...

    Zeiss v6 conquet 3-18x50 alternatives

    I'm leaning towards a Zeiss V6 3-18x50 but I'd like to hear of some alternatives in the same size/magnification/weight range. I like Kahles but the weight of the Zeiss won me over - but the Kahles features are appealing especially considering I can set it up lefty - but then again, I won't use...

    Lifelong fisherman bitten by western hunting bug. Seeking some guidance on how to, respectfully, hunt and draw tags as a non resident. Is it best to apply for tags in a bunch of areas in hopes of drawing something and then make plans with an outfitter? Or, find an outfitter first and apply...

    Hunting pants for tall & thin

    I need to get some late season gear for my son who is 32" waist and 36" length (may be able to get away with 35") - anyone know any brands that make pants that long for skinny kids? By the time iIm done typing this he may need a larger size. Kuiu & Sitka don't seem to and First Lite gets to...
