    Rimfire rifle scope

    After looking into this more, I think my preference is now the Leupold VX Freedom 2-7×33 (not rimfire version). I think its basic duplex reticle will be a better choice vs the rimfire MOA reticle in the rimfire version.

    Rimfire rifle scope

    He'll be 7 the end of July. I agree on a scope with a reticle that's not too busy for him. My main purpose is to focus on gun safety and shooting basics so he can be safe, comfortable using the gun and have fun. I am thinking a 2-7 would be better than a 3-9 for the larger field of view. I have...

    Rimfire rifle scope

    Anyone have any suggestions on a scope for 22LR? Bought a Ruger American 22LR to start teaching my son to shoot. My initial thought is a Leupold American Rimfire 2-7×33. I'm also slightly considering either the Vortex Crossfire II Rimfire 2-7×33 or the Vortex Diamondback Rimfire 2-7×35, and...

    What’s your occupation?

    I've been plumbing for almost 25 years. Last year I took a job at a local hospital in plant operations & my body has been much happier.

    Ask your onX Hunt questions here!

    My maps have an alternating dark vertical striping effect in online & off line modes. Why is this? It makes it extremely difficult to read them. Another issue I have is why does my map show sections & section numbers when I have that layer off but I turn on other layers? That is a very recent...

    Selfless - A Wild Sheep Conservation Story (full film link now here)

    Awesome film! You and the crew always do a great job. Having someone use their platform to portray hunters in a positive light is desperately needed these days. The platform change has truly taken things to another level by enabling you to fully tell the whole story to your audience.

    Precarious Health and decisions...

    If you are willing and able to go, then you should go. Don't let your fear of being a "burden" stop you. You won't ruin the by being there, rather your presence will be what makes the hunt for them. My dad passed away from cancer in 2015, and I would give anything to have had an opportunity to...

    Hiking Boot recommendations

    I bought some Crispi Summits from Camofire that really agree with my feet. I don't like buying footwear without trying it on since fit & comfort vary so widely between brands, models & from person to person. For me these have been the most comfortable boots I've ever owned by far.

    Screaming Good Deal

    No Weatherby's in my area but I did pick up an Axis 30.06 for myself & youth .243 for my son. I'll have some explaining to do Christmas morning when he opens it & discovers the pink camo waiting inside the box. Gonna let him pick out the color on a new Boyd's stock so hopefully that smooths...

    Pellet Grills

    Another vote for Rec Tec here! My wife was a big time skeptic when we got it, but I think she likes it even more than I do!

    Suggestion for future episodes....

    I really enjoyed the videos on photography. Love to see more videos expanding on the subject, hopefully to include a some dslr tips. It's great to get some ideas, tips and insight from guys that hunt!

    Anyone familiar with HISUN?

    My mom's boyfriend is a former Hisun dealer. Thought they'd be worth a try since they're supposed to be a Yamaha clone/knock off. Think he sold them for about 2 years and gave it up. Quite a few problems and the tech/warranty support he received from Hisun was piss poor. Decided selling them...
