    So much for the vaunted Swarovski warranty.

    I don't own Swaros so really no skin in the game. I agree that if I damage them, or normal wear and tear, I should pay. If you took great care of the binos and they were never dropped, but notice the clarity focus isn't as it should be. So you send them in and they tell you the prism is...

    280 AI vs. 7 PRC

    I reloaded the 143 HH with RL23 right at 3000 fps. Got over 3100 fps before pressure, but wasn't as accurate. In 4 years, killed 13 animals with them before switching things up.

    280 AI vs. 7 PRC

    I've been shooting a 280AI for 12 years now. I love the gun. Took an old Remington 700 bdl in 30-06, I'd gotten as a graduation present in the 80's and had Pacnor re-barrel it. I've loaded from 130 grain to 160 grain and it shoots everything good. For sure, it isn't hard on cases if you...

    Do Not Pass On First Day What You Would Be Happy To Shoot On The Last: A Refutation

    Must be a slow day at the office 😂. I like it! As I'm taking a break from processing my smaller than hopeful whitetail buck, I was thinking similar thoughts. The variable that isn't in your equation, and has dramatically changed over time, is the amount of animals xx present in the area. As...

    New Truck MSRP discounts right now??

    A couple years prior to buying my truck, my wife and I were just browsing no real intent to buy. She found a vehicle thst was priced in the upper range but not being that interested, we left. They called us a few days later with a lower price. My wife asked if that was their lowest price...

    New Truck MSRP discounts right now??

    I despise the entire vehicle buying process. Would rather sit in the dentist chair. My last vehicle purchase was just shy of 2 years ago at DS. Traded in a 2016 ram 1500 with 93k in great shape. They would only give low book. The vehicle I was buying was listed for top dollar. They wouldn't...

    .243 load recommendations

    Currently redeveloping a load for my savage axis 2 with 1 in 9.25 twist. Current load is with100 grain hornady BTSP with 39.7 grains RL17 but out of powder and only 19 rounds left. I've done ladder test with N150, RL16, IMR4350, RL23, H4831sc. Interesting thing I'm seeing with this gun is the...

    What are you currently reloading?

    Currently load for: 243, 6.5 prc, 270, 7mm-08, 280AI, 308, 300WM, 300prc. Had been mostly using Alliant powders in most guns but now starting to redevelop loads with other powders since alliant powders are nearly non-existent for the foreseeable future. Damn, stuff has gotten expensive!

    interesting shot from a "hunting celebrity"

    I wonder if Lee actually thinks he's even a reason the majority of males watch the show?

    Frontal shot on elk

    Incredibly lethal if you make the shot, likely a wounded lost elk If you don't. I tried once 13 years ago didn't make the shot. Thankfully have resisted the urge to try it again. Back when I would visit the Bowsite, after reading several shot placement threads, I realized there is a person...

    Boot question

    Same insole as previous? I could see a different insole changing the fit but same as previous should be pretty close to same fit. Odd. I guess the boots could have simply worn down enough to change the fit. As Hank mentioned, perhaps a different sock combination. I personally like leukotape...

    Boot question

    Could it be the insole has broken down on the pressure points? Might be worth it to try a new insole. Just a thought.

    25-06 w/ 107 HBCs

    Beautiful gun! I've always wanted a 25-06. Had an older Rem700 that I was going to re-barrel to a 25-06 but got talked into making it a 280AI. Zero regrets but man I still look at the 25-06 a lot. I purchased an athlon chrono about a month ago. About 300 rounds through it now, I like it a...

    RIP Charlie Kirk

    A terrible sad tragedy. As I reflect on the events that unfolded, 24 years ago today, and unified (at least IMO) the country for a brief period. I wonder how the divided sides would react today under that scenario. I think I know and it makes me sad to think that.

    Losses at the Forest Service

    I kinda hope the people that support this need some sort of government service (and I'd bet most off of you do in some form, you just don't realize) and don't get what you need. Unfortunately, the irony will be lost and blame misplaced, as usual.
