    My $1,300 hunting rig

    Fun post to follow, your a talented man. I love fixing stuff up and using it. Too many excuses out there, youtube it if you can't figure it out and just get it done. Thanks for sharing.

    Utah 2020 Draw Results Thread

    Was clearing out emails today on my phone when this popped up. It must be real, they hit my card for $1500. Called Utah to make sure my new card update cleared and said the system is down. Checked my card and it’s there. Never thought I’d draw one while I can still hunt. Feeling guilty and...

    17 yr old daughter recoil shy, need advice please.

    UPDATE Wanted to thank those that gave advice for my daughter and her muzzleloader. Ended up with the fiber optic sights and it helped tremendously. She was able to shoot out to 100 yards with pretty good results. Started out with light loads and goaded her into trying a heavier load and she...

    17 yr old daughter recoil shy, need advice please.

    She has a new inline that has a recoil pad on it, with the lighter load I think she's going to be fine. A buddy of mine was wanting something like that PAST recoil pad and I'll be sure to show him, thanks. Just switched out the sights to some truglow fiber optics with the ghost ring and she...

    17 yr old daughter recoil shy, need advice please.

    Already checked with her eye specialist, he said she is ok with glasses and doesn’t qualify. Thank you though, she’ll do fine with the fiber optic sights I think.

    17 yr old daughter recoil shy, need advice please.

    Thanks for the info, going to try and stick with the xtp by Hornady. I've had great results with the 300 grain and my daughter said she's fine with shooting the 240 grain. Waiting for a cooler weekend to get her out and do some shooting, it was 110 degrees yesterday and the local range has...

    New long range scope

    👍 schmalts. When you decide what you want, give him a pm like oak said with the model # and let him quote you a price. I was pleasantly surprised and it was an easy transaction.

    Need new scope ring/base advice

    Yes, I should have asked but it was just pm on this site when he was posting about a sale on leupold optics. Didn't occur to me at the time. Will call Talley tomorrow and see if the lows will clear or mediums it is. Thank you gentlemen, that should cover it, I wanted Talley rings and think...

    Need new scope ring/base advice

    Is anybody shooting a Winchester model 70 featherweight classic with a leupold vx5 3-15×44 scope. Just got the new scope from schmalts and have to get some new mounting rings. Hoping to keep it as low as I can. Have a leupold 3-9×40 1" tube on it now with leupold low rings. Has about 2...

    Headlamps for under $100

    I've tried a few of the name brands and have settled on this Coast brand from Costco. Think they sell it in a 2 pack for like $20 when they're on sale. Has red and green led, sturdy buttons and a focus on the light. Puts out like 400 lumens, has 3 or 4 levels of output. I use them for...

    Sounds like the plan nick87. .50 cal 240 grain Hornady HP XTP in the green sabot and loose pyrodex so I can play with the powder but 70 grains sounds about right. Have used the 300 grain version for years and love them. Thank you.
