there's a brake attachment that can be put on the outlet end of the scythe to reduce recoil further..but it negates some of the sound reduction when added.
There's some discussion on RS that the scythe can have weld failures when used with magnum cartridges but ok with standard...
I've been very happy w Maven C1s. I recently upgraded to swaros but my mavens went to NM, CO, and AK...couple of those were glassing-intensive hunts and I was happy w them.
So happy that I kept them as my backups and sold my Leupold Gold Rings 10x42s
I don't have any experience w the others...
Yeah that's the Type 6 reduced price or whatever they are...agreed those are a steal....but I don't think many of those go into leftover?
At this point in the calendar the OP might only have full price cow tag options in secondary draw or leftovers?
My crew picked up some of the leftover...
So does that mean a $704 full price NR WY cow elk tag picked up in the leftovers, split between 2 guys is actually a sound financial decision??
that'd be a first...never tried to justify hunting as a cheaper way to get meat as it just doesn't work out.
You can go on Netflix right now and watch The Peanut Butter Falcon. Need a willing suspension of disbelief but it's a good 90min watch...even has an old beat up 870 that features heavily.
Slightly off topic but the OP made me think of Tim Reynolds....I saw this show live way back when..still incredible.
Jump to 2:50 mark if u just want to see Tim doing his thing.
I was able to get a few from an Amish community near me in IA...went to the feed/seed/hardware store and told them I'd like some pigeons... Couple days later I went pack w cash to pick them up.
Also found a local game bird breeder where I could buy mature quail about the same price as pigeons...
I typically buy my packs used off here, ebay, or RS...for 40%-50% of new can get packs in very good to near new shape. YMMV
That said, I've got a SG Sky Archer 6400 and Solo 3600. Really like the SG pack, very lightweight and carries weight well for me.
I also tried mystery ranch and seek...
