    M-1 Carbine/Old guys maybe interested

    Kind of like a smaller caliber 357 mag with a stock. Shot one a little years ago.

    Long Term Care coverage

    ;:;rofl I agree. The only difference is my conservative friends don't admit it. There is this attitude you paid taxes now you have to get it back. We get it back in education, roads, and other services. My kids went to school free so I'm not going to complain about paying my taxes. Some...

    Fifth Wheel Friendly

    Back in 1993 I owned a new GMC 1/2 ton with a 350 engine. It was my first truck and the dealer told me I could pull any camper I wanted. Our first camper was a used 1988 24 ft Mallard travel trailer. It pulled heavy and I put in a transmission temperature gauge. It was running to hot, so the...

    Long Range Shooting Best Scope for the Money

    I was watching some ratings on utube last night. The only Nightforce I could afford would be the SHV and it rated the same as the Vortex. So with the 25 minutes of angle per revolution and the EBR-C2 reticle I went Vortex. This started out trying to help someone else and I have to thank you...

    Fifth Wheel Friendly

    I pull a 37 foot with my Duramax. I started with Supersprings, but then my wife had spinal fusion and I switched to air bags with an onboard compressor. Much better. I just increase the pressure until the bounce stops. I find that with 2350 lb in the box it runs best at 75 psi.

    Long Term Care coverage

    My wife and I have had long term care for many years. With out luck we have put $28K into it so far and will perhaps drop over dead and never see a nursing home. That's best I guess. Anyway, we have ours through Thrivent which is a Lutheran organization. We started many years ago with $250 a...

    Long Range Shooting Best Scope for the Money

    Bed Wetter Scheels has actually matched some pretty low prices I found on the internet. Their price started about $200 under manufactures suggested retail to begin with, but they went down another $200. I may have to check out some used scopes this morning before I order this afternoon...

    Long Range Shooting Best Scope for the Money

    I think I will be ordering that scope tomorrow. I don't plan on driving my car over the scope so I don't need that kind of durability. To get the features I want would cost me over $2000 for a Nightforce. Looks like dollar for dollar I'm going to have to go Vortex again. I knocked my one...

    Long Range Shooting Best Scope for the Money

    Montana is getting to expensive for elk and deer, but I have hunted bear and wolf lately. I am in Jamesown, but go to the Badlands often. I am headed out to Montana in July for a little fishing with my wife, son, and grandkids

    Long Range Shooting Best Scope for the Money

    BGH thank you for the offer. I have been looking at both the Vortex and the Nightforce at Sheels for a few months. Last year I was tipping towards the Nightforce, but I like the features of the Vortex. I prefer their turrets and really like the EBR 2-C (moa) reticle. The Viper PSTs that I...

    Long Range Shooting Best Scope for the Money

    Yes, and don't the lower priced Nightforce sell for $1200+? I think Sheels has a Nightforce for under $1300. It had a covered windage turret which I didn't like. Every time I find what I like it's beyond my wallets ability, and that keeps bringing me back to Vortex.

    Petra the Vortex I am looking at the suggested retail is $1399. I think you can get a Nightforce for a little more. http://www.vortexoptics.com/product/vortex-viper-pst-gen-2-5-25x50-ffp-riflescope-with-ebr-2c-moa-reticle/reticle

    Long Range Shooting Best Scope for the Money

    I like my old Leupold scopes. The new ones look clear, but something is not holding under heavy recoil. On my 300 mag I get two 1/4 inch groups an inch apart. It held horizontal zero, but not elevation. I bought one Vortex, then another, then another. The razor spotting scope and razor...

    Long Range Shooting Best Scope for the Money

    SDMF since I sometimes have a hard time telling when someone is serious, and when they are having fun I have to ask what it is you don't like about Vortex. I am thinking about the PST second generation with 25 inches per turn and a better zero stop. I can get a Nightforce for about $300 more...

    Long Range Shooting Best Scope for the Money

    I have only shot three deer under 1000 yards in the past 15 years. If you learn your scopes flaws and counter for them nearly anything with target turrets will work if it tracks repeatably. Perhaps more important for long range is deer behavior, when they are going to move and when they will...

    Long Range Shooting Best Scope for the Money

    Buckmaster the worst tracking for me was the old Nikons. They have got better but everything else beats them. Leuopold tracks true, but my rifles don't group well with them. I had two Mark IN that a 30 year old cheap Bushnell would outshoot both. Right here in North Dakota weather variables...

    Long Range Shooting Best Scope for the Money

    Your in the same boat I was 20 years ago, and it hasn't improved. I have an appointment with a surgeon next Tuesday. I have given up on Leuopold. Loved them in the 1980s, but they have gone down hill I recommend against cartridge matched turrets unless you always plan on hunting the same...

    This isn't good

    Thanks. Your right I should have checked that story before I posted. It's just to easy to believe liberal stupidity. Ignorance and dumb ate not that related. Dumb is a measure of intelligence, but even very intelligent people are ignorant of many things. Not debating that I let myself be...

    This isn't good

    I didn't get the article actually a synopsis was on the wife's Facebook. Even though it's satire isn't it crazy that the left has gone so far out of their mind over Trump that we even think these things possible. For example Schummer was trying to twist yesterday's summit with Trump and Kim...
