Leupold VX2 vs VX5
Looking for some advice. I built a compact 308 last year for use when hunting in thick stuff and I dont need the longer range and weight of some of my other rifle packages. I got a Tikka T3x compact in 308 and had the barrel cut down to 16", threaded and topped it with a Leupold VX2 3-9x40... -

WTS Nikon Store Voucher
Posting for a friend. Since Nikon no longer sells riflescopes, if you send one in for warranty repair and they don't still have parts to fix it they issue you a voucher for the price equivalent for their website. He sent in a M223 scope and they gave him a $450 voucher to use on their website... -

Sitka versus Badlands clothing
I've always been a clearance rack type camo shopper but looking to get into some better clothing that isn't quite as bulky. I'm predominantly a eastern whitetail hunter that tries to do one Western Hunt a year. I'm also predominantly an archery hunter so just looking for something less bulky...- nhn2a

Colorado OTC Turkey Suggestions
I have a buddy who is heading to Denver for a his daughters Volleyball tournament in late April and he's contemplating extending his trip to try a turkey hunt while there. He's hunted turkey a lot just not in Colorado. It looks like he's just missed the draw deadline for limited units. Does...- nhn2a

Lead shot in Black Bear meat
Has anyone found lead shot in their bear meat before? I killed my first black bear in November here in NC and have been slowly working my way through all the meat since then. I was making a roast and found it riddled with lead shot as I was trimming the fat off. Havent found shot in any of...- nhn2a

Scope / Turret running out of adjustment
Ok so this will probably be long winded but just trying to paint a full picture to see if anyone has any thoughts or advice for me. I have a Swarovski Z5 5-25x52 on a Tikka T3 lite in 30-06. I've used this scope on it for a few years. I have a custom turret which maxes out at 600yrds as the... -

Switching to non-lead ammo / Hunt Talk Radio EP 087
I just finished listening to Randy's Hunt Talk Radio EP 087: Non-lead Ammo & Hunting with Raptors (Hawking). I've been pondering switching to a non-lead bullet for some time especially when I find the occasional fragment in my meat which makes me worry about my boys more so than myself. I know... -

Vortex Ranger 1300 vs Leupold RX-1200i Rangefinders
Im wanting to upgrade my rangefinder to a better quality model. I'm currently using a cheap Halo model I've had for years. It's got poor quality glass which makes it hard to locate animals when ranging sometimes. Also the black font is hard to see during low light conditions. The main... -

Need help deciding - WY draw or CO OTC
I try to only do one planned away from home hunt a year so as not to stress out the wife too much with my two young boys while I'm gone. I hunted CO last year successfully and was planning to hunt it again next year after I built up a point again. I have a NC bear hunt scheduled this year so... -

CO Preference Point / Reg question
I'm a nonresident looking to build more preference points in CO this year and just applied for Deer, Elk, and Pronghorn preference points. I know previously I paid the $40 fee (after my tag fee was returned) for each species and was planning on paying it again this year. However, I drew a tag... -

Private Pilots License / Flying to hunts
I know this is an odd place to talk about pilot licenses but curious if anyone out there has theirs and what your experience has been flying to and from hunts. In my downtime between hunting seasons I decided to pursue getting my Private Pilots License. Its something I've always wanted to try...- nhn2a

Leupold VX2 Opinions
What's everyones opinion of the Leupold VX2 3-9x40? Bass pro is selling them for $199 for Cyber Monday and I'm debating picking one up for my son's youth 243. I'm sure it's overkill for him but I want something that he can move up to better rifles as he gets older. He currently has a cheap... -

Browning X-bolt Pro
Does anyone have any experience with the pro model of the X-bolt. I'm considering getting one but at the price point it's hard not to consider paying a little more (relatively speaking) and going custom. Any experience or thoughts from the group? I'm looking at a 300 win mag so I can reach...- nhn2a

Fierce Rifles
Does anyone on here have any experience with fierce rifles? I stumbled on them at Cabela's last week and they seemed nice and we'll built but upon researching them I haven't been able to find many reviews. I searched previous posts and the most recent was in 2015 so not sure if anyone has... -

Wyoming Preference Point
With Wyoming Preference Point deadline closing tomorrow, I'm debating if I should buy preference points for Elk, Deer, and Pronghorn. I've been playing on GoHunt to see what benefit having preference points really provides and it seems like a lot of units can be drawn with 0 points and most of...- nhn2a

Cactus
I have to say I laughed pretty hard when I watched the clip of Randy sitting on a cactus (sorry Randy) in one of his earlier episodes. Well I have a new appreciation for the pain now after my Colorado hunt. I saw Cacti everywhere but did a good job of staying away from it until our last day...- nhn2a

First DIY Western Hunt to Colorado Unit 3/301 - Success!
Just got home from my first western and mule deer hunt in Colorado. My mom and I were hunting together along with another buddy who didnt have a tag but was tagging along to glass and help pack meat since my Mom really couldn't do much. We ended up going 2 for 2 on mule deer and even managed... -

Has anyone on here been hunting around Craig, CO during Archery or Muzzleloader seasons this year? I'm heading out there next week for second season rifle in 3/301 and just curious how the deer population looks. The weather looks like it should cooperate nicely so feeling very optimistic, just... -

Swarovski spotting scope
So I had my mind set on buying a Swarovski ATS 20-60X65 based on everyone's feedback on various threads. I finally got a chance to look at one at Cabela's today and was shocked to find that with it and the Vortex side by side, I felt the razor outperformed the Swarovski. Specifically the eye... -

Swarovski 65mm vs 80mm
So I've decided to buy a Swarovski Spotting Scope. However, I'm really struggling to decide on whether or not to go with the 65mm or 80mm objective. I'm currently leaning towards the 65mm since it will be easier to pack and carry around. I'm not too worried about the weight difference but...
