Wyoming elk, general tag, rifle (possibly archery as well).
Hunting with one of my sons and also with a good friend and his son.
On the homefront, ruffed grouse and deer.
Thanks for the opportunity!
Helpful discussion and input, Elevatorman and EastTNHunter. Good to know how others have equipped their 22 rifles. Interesting real world experience with parallax as well.
I agree that a 2-7 with Firedot would be ideal. Plus it would be enough of a magnification difference to allow me to swap...
I appreciate that perspective as I may need to look more closely at the Freedom scopes. The Firedot is high on my list of priorities (on all my other scopes) plus I was looking at a higher magnification scope that I might put on my AR (possibly even swap between) - so that narrowed my options...
Thanks, Bulldog. I’m probably not going to be shooting the distances you do (impressive btw). What do you think about moving the 1-4 power Patrol to the 10/22 and putting a higher magnification scope on the AR (VX5 2-10 Firedot for example)?
I just purchased a Ruger 10/22 stainless with a European walnut schnabel stock. I’m considering a scope (new or used) and would prefer a Leupold Fire dot (1-4, 2-7, smaller/lighter than a full sized scope preferred). I’m considering the Leupold VX3 1.5-5 Twilight Hunter (@schmalts). I also have...
Thanks for offering this opportunity, VikingsGuy! Hopefully, my guess is way off and McCarthy has a banner season along with the upgraded defense…and they somehow end up in the Super Bowl. Of course, as Vikings fans we know the probable outcome…but there is always hope. 🙃
Vikings: 10-7...
I checked out many options years ago and settled on the Kenai chest holster - for all the reasons cited above. Another feature is interchangeable holsters using the same harness…so it allows you to carry different handguns (depending on your preference and situation).’ I carry underneath my...
Thanks for sharing your hunt. What a great solo experience - complete with horses, beautiful country, lots of elk, backcountry camp and a dandy bull, to boot! The memories will live on
and likely grow even more precious over time. Like you, I thank the Lord every day for the opportunity to...
This fall I recaptured some memories from my youth by hunting ruffed grouse again. What made it extra special was visiting places that my Dad and I used to hunt and camp…priceless.
