Binos in $250-$300 range
I know some people have mentioned Vortex Diamondback, which I'm sure it's a fine choice, but I used my glasses instead of my contact lenses and the eye relief with the cups in the lowest position wasn't enough and I literally have to take my glasses off to use them. My eyesight is -1.25 and I... -

Ranking 10 Common Bolt Action Hunting Rifles Under $750
I have a CVA Cascade (veil camo) in 6.5 PRC that I bought 9/2020 for $520. Absolutely amazing rifle. I put DNZ Huntmaster (game reaper 2) rings and a Leupold VX-Freedom that I had laying around on top, bore sighted, and got sighted in with just 4 shots (which was great because I had to have a... -

D's Stance on Public Lands - Comparison between candidates
California isn't open, so you wouldn't be able to vote for a Democrat unless you're registered as Democrat. Same with republican.

Water Bottles or Water Bladder

Where to invest: tent or bag?
California guy here, so I really have no idea what your early season is, and what kind of weather that entails. Would be a good thing to know for suggestions. Given that you say the weather isn't extreme, I'm giving a suggestion on Temps no lower than 50 at night, with occasional rain. Money...- Mrvrsick

Best Antelope/Mule Deer Caliber?
I spent an insane amount of time looking for a new rifle in the "perfect" cartridge for my deer hunting. What did I settle on? A Tikka T3x in .243 Win. The 243 had the power in my comfort range of 400 yards or so, it had wide availability of ammo, and it had incredibly light recoil to boot. I... -

Recommended Scope rings, tikka t3x and vortex crossfire II
I just got a T3x, but it came with a scope mounted. If I get a new scope for next season, I'll probably look into the sportsmatch. -

Predator Optics
The more I hear about this @schmalts fella, the more I want to blow the budgeting and grab a vx3i. Rifle season is over where I am, though, so I honestly think that I'll treat myself for next summer. Hope they haven't kicked him off the platform before then.
