    Rangefinders that don’t suck

    My Sig 2000 died last winter. Didn't worry too much as I had already purchased a Maven RF1. Other than size, the Maven beats the Sig in every way. But the Sig was good for a very long time. When it died, it just died all together. Totally blank other than one or two little pixelized marks...

    September Muzzleloader Mule Deer camp in Utah. So beautiful this year.

    Looks different on their website vs your photo. I love what I see in your photo. I am going to have to get me one of those. Lol

    Red dot

    I am impressed with my Vortex Spitfire Prism 1x scope that I put on my CVA Accura MR-X last year. Especially like that it can be either Green dot or Red dot. I have an astigmatism and struggle with a red dot. I get loads of haloing etc. with red. But green is crisp for me. So... I use a...

    How is your new Accura MR-X? I have had good results with mine.

    Meopta Meostar R1 vs. R2

    As much as I like Meopta Optics, I can't buy them knowing that they have no way to service or warranty them shy of sending them to Europe on our own dimes. They promised to have a USA service center again, but that was several years ago and still nothing.

    Base camp tent

    Consider me a big fan of the Kodiak 12x12 Lodge tent. They make a 12x16 version as well. Heavy though, but such a nice tent to camp in. I also purchased the 8x8 enclosure for mine. Really nice to add some space to cook, take off muddy shoes etc. I bought a couple of pieces of artificial...

    Opinion - Best Off the Shelf Muzzleloader?

    My CVA Accura MR-X .50 caliber is really accurate. My Knight Wolverine 209 Extreme is so accurate it is boring. The newest version of that rifle would be the Knight Bighorn. .50 caliber, 777 powder and a 275-300 grain sabot and it is money.

    $350 Scope Recommendations

    Unfortunately, Meopta has no service center in the United States any longer. So...if anything happens and you need service, you will need to send it to Europe on your dime. And then pay the return shipping. If anything happens, your "deal" on a Meopta is no longer a deal. And I loved my...

    Massive forky muleys pic thread

    I have seen a few "trophy" two points over the years. Killed a few decent ones even. But this one is my favorite of all time. First antlered deer for my daughter. One shot with the Muzzleloader at 25 yards. Cool experience with her.

    Talk me out of a Leupold SX-4 15-45x65

    The Athlon Ares G2 HD 15-45x65 would be a great option for quite a bit less than your $800 budget. I would bet you find that scope as good or better than the Leupold. I have used a couple of Maven CS1 in that similar size and liked them a lot too. Not sure they were much better than the...

    Mavin B.2

    Awesome binos. I ran the 9x45 for 6 years. Never thought " I wish these were better". I did eventually move to Swarovski EL 8.5x42 which are better, but so close to each other that it surprised me. For the 11x45, they were way too much for me to hold without a tripod. But I had 3 buddies...

    GPO Passion HD?

    I really enjoyed my B2 9x45. Used it for 6 years and it was soo good. Only sold it when I got such a good deal on my 8.5x42 ELs.
