    Savage Revel .22 classic - opinions?

    At this point in my life I have just about every rifle I can practically use or want, except one - a lever action .22 rifle. I've owned a couple classics - the sleek Browning and the legendary Marlin 39a - but neither of them really did it for me. The Browning was too small and I couldn't get...

    The long-term habitat impacts of the DOI USWFS merger

    I'm kind of surprised nobody here is talking about the potential habitat impacts brought on by moving all the DOI (and potentially FS) fire programs into the new USWFS. Does anyone here think that a stand-alone organization, focused primarily on wildfire suppression, will even come close to...

    Any CFP's here?

    Wife and I are roughly a year out from our retirement eligibility date (she's already eligible), and we really need to be talking with someone who knows what they are doing before we make any big decisions. Any CFP's here or have one you'd recommend? Would help if they are familiar with...

    Anyone else using StaBall 6.5 in their .300 WSM?

    About a year ago, I had the good fortune of getting a great deal on a .300 WSM. Before I bought it, I checked the reloading manuals to see what powders were commonly used in that cartridge. To my delight, many were powders I already had on hand, including a 8# jug of StaBall 6.5. I ran a...

    Zeiss customer service - wow!

    Last year, I loaned my favorite pair of bins (Conquest HD 8x32's) to a friend for a hurried up chase after a buck toward the end of the season. I had no reason to check them after and didn't bother to look at them again for probably 2 months. When I did, I found a small ding on one of the eye...

    .300 WSM - a sweet spot?

    Late to the party, I know, but the .300 WSM I picked up last Christmas is proving to be one of my favorite rifles of all time. Stupid accurate and consistent, and recoil that is very manageable from a 7 lb. rig, especially considering it pushes a 168 grain TTSX @ 3065 fps. Why is this...

    Bear Custom Kodiak Take Down recurve limbs

    I really hate to let this go, considering I waited about 40 years to finally buy one, so I hope it finds a worthy home. This is a 1990's vintage "B" handle and 50th Anniversary #3 limbs (long) that I purchased new a few years ago. These are 40# limbs and are extremely smooth. This combination...

    Bushnell Engage 3-9x40 ?

    Local store has a small stack of them for $50 ea. Yes, I know they are well beneath the standards of most here, but I'm tempted to buy a few just to hold for the future. Thoughts?
