$350 Scope Recommendations
Truth is there is barely any glass made in the US and if there is any it is ridiculously expensive due to costs. Burris employs a couple hundred people here in CO (Greely) and Vortex has about 400 in Wi (Barneveld) and both of them are VERY clear about the origin of their stuff (BTW Vortex is... -
$350 Scope Recommendations
Potterfield is wrong....their scopes are ASSEMBLED in Oregon, NONE of their optics are anything other than Asian and they won't disclose which are which (and their range finders are COMPLETELY built overseas, as well as some of their spotting scopes and all of their binos) . If you look at... -
$350 Scope Recommendations
The new Fullfields are made in the Philippines...... those VX Freedoms are Chinese glass (although Leupoldv won't tell you). Just got mine last night. -
$350 Scope Recommendations
You might want to check out the Burris Fullfield. Good value, same great warranty as expected (better than Leupold) and with the new Knob Synergy you can choose like 4 different turret options if you want something other than old school capped turrets. $260 or $350 if you want illuminated... -
Tell me about Wisconsin...
Since we are on this thread......I'll put out feelers. My son got a promotion at work (he works at Scheels as well) and will be taking over a shop mgr job in our new store in Wawatosa. He'll be headed out just after the first of the year. Any suggestions on place to live nearby (I believe...- SFC B

Your preference with trigger lbs?
All of my adjustable triggers on hunting rifles are around 2lbs.....light enough but controllable. My 22-250 setup (Tikka in chassis) has the Mountain Tactical spring and is around 10-12 oz.....also a 5 shot/one hole gun. Target/bench setups I don't like anything over 1 lb really. I want to... -
Let’s talk about firewood
When I was home in June I had to cut up a couple of cherry trees that blew over in a storm. I'll be going back for a bit in Sep and will split that up. Also, the guy we bought the house from left a wood pile and I will split that up into much more usable stuff. A splitter is on my short list...- SFC B

A year that will be "it is what it is".....maybe......probably ;)
I did talk to Kevin last week and if all for both of us stays good I will be up in Wisco for rifle season again this year as well. I cannot tell you how much I want fall to come. Also, in a bit of news, after my cow hunt in August I will be headed back to Indiana to officially change my self...- SFC B

Will SCOTUS respect this public lands precedent?
I will say this, without intention to any other points. If you have a problem with the reversal of Roe vs. Wade for ANYTHING other than emotional, personal reasons you don't have a grasp of constitutional law and aren't acknowledging that IT was the most absolute and grotesque example to date...- SFC B

Angry spouse
When issues like this come up now with us we just realize that I have a hunting/shooting habit and she has a Lego habit (including an entire bedroom)....and my job and discount facilitate BOTH of them.- SFC B

Angry spouse
Anytime someone questions my patience and restraint I remind them that 1) my wife is done with that and 2) I'm not currently in prison. There were a few years where it took ALL I had.....the kids were in HS and college and would literally just leave the house for hours at a time.....traitors :(- SFC B

Let’s talk about firewood
Here in CO I have about half a cord of white oak I brought back from IN last fall......might as well be made of gold around here. ;) At the new place we have a mixed, leftover pile of about 2-3 cords that I will burn through as I can. With the central chimney stack/double sided stove I will...- SFC B
