    Needs some help on picking a scope.

    I have a VX5HD on my .204, and my wife has a Swaro V5 on hers. Having said that, for the money, as others have said, Zeiss, hands down. We have 3 of them, and very clear glass. Also, take a look at the Tract Toric 2.5-15x44 for around a thousand bucks. SCHOTT glass, FFP illuminated. I have it...

    Win mod 70 smith

    You don't need to sir me, I work for a living! 🤣 Seriously, though, Paul is great, and honest, and just went pro a couple of years ago, so is not backed up 3-4 years.

    SOLD/EXPIRED Swarovski z5 3-18x44

    So, how old is this, and are you the original owner, i.e. can transfer warranty?

    Win mod 70 smith

    Paul does a great job. That's my Model 70 you see when you open the page (disassembled, with the new Brux barrel, and at the bottom, refinished on the Model 70 page). The tuned action seems as slick as the Nesikas on our Dakota Varminters. https://countrycustommetals.com/...

    Welcome, but travel this road carefully, pilgrim. And never ask, "Should I buy...?". We're enablers here🤣

    Scope recommendations for Prairie Dogs

    I have an old Nikon in perfect shape 4-12x40 that we had on a Model 70 .223. 1" tube. Rebuilt it to .223 Wylde Brux 1/8 with a Tract FFP scope. Shot hundreds of PDs with this scope, up to 450 yards. Simple duplex, no dialing, but the price is right. If you have friends in the crab biz, couple...

    What is the longest shot you have made on a live target

    Best shot I ever made was swimming cottonmouth at 50 yards, head-shot, in the rain, Ruger 10/22. Shot an antelope at 560 yards, 300 H&H. Nothing compared to most here.

    Interesting article on bear spray vs. bear handgun defense

    We'll be there at the same time, although not in Polebridge but still near the West entrance. S&W 686, Model 19, Sig P320, all with Buffalo Bore.

    Interesting article on bear spray vs. bear handgun defense

    This guy has been around a while, and he doesn't talk about CNS hits. If it's TLDR, he used 147gr Flat Nose Buffalo Bore in a 9mm, but usually carries a .357. Same behind the shoulder shots as we would use when hunting.

    Colorado Is Going NUTZ - Anti Gun Legislation

    They still buy groceries, though; at least the middle class and below. Those are the ones who may bolt. Probably just dreaming though.

    Colorado Is Going NUTZ - Anti Gun Legislation

    Potential bright spots. It's remarkable what DeSantis has done in Florida; from toss-up to solid Red. Low crime, no sexualizing kids, no DEI, no coddling of Hamas, etc. We could have had that but a few Iowans said no. Also, it seems folks generally who typically vote solid D like unions...

    Ruger American barrel and Stock for shipping costs

    Thanks so much. She's lived in Korea, Netherlands, Germany, France, NY, GA, and now settled in Kansas. And you know what that means; SIL is career Army, retiring with 24 years in next year. Already got her wearing cowgirl boots; time for a nice hat with a feather. I'll PM you. This is an...
