    So we found a honey hole....now what?

    Every rooster you can. You won't get them all and you don't need many to service hens next spring. The fewer roosters there are @ the end of season, the more hens will survive the winter.

    Vortex or Leupold

    I don’t trust any of them 100%. For that matter I don’t 100% trust any rifle, ammo, or binocs. I can only think of 2 trips in the last 20yrs when I didn’t have a spare rifle/scope combo. In both trips I did however I’ve a spare scope, tools, and enough ammo to get the rifle re-sighted. I’d...

    Vortex or Leupold

    1. Purely speaking of riflescopes, I see exponentially less Leupold advertising vs. Vortex. Leupold advertises the heck out of their Asia-Pacific produced binocs, spotters, and rangefinders but there isn't a single piece of that gear that I'd buy. 2. There is an immense difference between a...

    Vortex or Leupold

    Do you think that in terms of pure resolution (not brightness) current glass is as good or better than the leaded crystal that can no longer be produced?

    Vortex or Leupold

    I'm not into spending 3x-5x what something is actually worth just to have an over the counter warrantee. Their whole brand was built on: "We'll just hand you another over the counter today no questions asked if there's a problem." Nobody can afford an over the counter warrantee unless...

    Vortex or Leupold

    This is IMO the best “bang for the buck” riflescope of this cyber week. This is the same scope as the original Zeiss Conquest that sold for $900 6-7yrs ago. http://www.cabelas.com/product/CABELAS-INSTINCT-CUSTOM-TURRET-SCOPE/2347383.uts?slotId=0

    Ice fishing DIY/shack mods/equipment

    6" thick sharp stainless keel-guard and one of those bubbler thingies that ice-breakers have so I can just continue to use my boat. I catch more fish from the boat than the icehouse.

    Vortex or Leupold

    I've owned over 100 of them since then and the only problems I've had were self induced. I bent an elevation turret shaft somehow and I had a rifle slide off of the table at a range and land on the cement slab right onto the elevation turret on the 2nd. In fairness, I did the same thing with a...

    Vortex or Leupold

    I don't have a low enough gear in my brain to buy Vortex anything.

    How light is too light for a rifle?

    Putz seems apropos after reading that little tidbit.

    Gun season during the rut?

    The simple fact is, there are no facts because NOBODY has the 1st fuggin clue how many deer we have.

    Leupold VX3 CDS turrets

    Yes, they can be added.

    How light is too light for a rifle?

    Light is nice to carry but takes a lot more concentration on the shooter's part to shoot well. Heavy settles down nicely and absorbs some recoil. An 8# rifle/scope combo in a non-magnum "deer" caliber rifle that's well balanced is generally tolerable recoil-wise and settles pretty easily for...

    Mil Dot Conversion to MOA Help

    OP, I see you've got it, good that you have several resources to choose from. l prefer to do things in MOA, because with 1/4MOA scope adjustments which are fairly standard, I only ever have to "count" to 3. Rifle is zero'd @ 200yds and has a turret that displays each MOA as a whole number...

    The 224

    The advantages we're seeing in new cartridge development is that the firearms/bullet/ammo manufacturers are finally getting on the same page as shooters. 1. Bullet development is pretty well centered around higher BC's and longer range capabilities. 2. You've got to have enough twist to...

    Mil Dot Conversion to MOA Help

    The easiest way to grasp drop/drift is to STOP trying to convert it from MOA/MILS back into "inches". There's NO ruler on a critter. Your scope has an accurate measurement/adjustment system built into it and assuming you've got a chart that's accounted for known velocity, bullet BC, and...

    Mil Dot Conversion to MOA Help

    2/3 of the way down the page in the 2nd box will be labeled "Chart Column Customization". You can add or subtract anything you want to have in your chart. I typically print out the smallest chart I can. I pare it down to distance, elevation, and windage in 1 unit of measure (inches, MOA, or...

    Who shoots copper?

    Make lead legal for waterfowl again and I'll figure out a way to like them. - - - Updated - - - TSX/TTSX are all copper and I've shot a jillion of them via 300Win Mag.
