    Knives

    My uncle got me a Buck 102 Woodsman for my 12th birthday. It's seen a lot of use and it shows, but it's one of my favorite knives. In the '80's my uncles and hunting buds all had a Buck General 120. I got mine in the early '90's. It dressed a few deer, but we all came to the realization it...

    The gun I wish I hadn't sold

    fulldraw - I do not. I bought it a month before my oldest daughter was born (much to my wife's dismay :)) It took 8 years to finish, and I sold it a month after my oldest got married 25 years later. It was time to spend more money on it, and I decided to get out.

    The gun I wish I hadn't sold

    Ruger stainless Super Redhawk 44 mag and a Winchester 94/22M XTR. The Ruger was the 2nd gun I ever bought and the Winchester was pristine with beautiful wood and deep bluing. Both proceeds went towards purchasing and restoring a 1970 Chevelle.

    Another One Bites The Dust... So long Kuiu

    Its always a concern when the ownership vision shifts away from quality products to increased profit margins. I guess we'll see how it goes. :(

    Is your mall crawler ready to go?

    My 2022 GMC Sierra AT4 is ready for the season. Just hauled my UTV & cultipacker to my lease to put in 4 food plots yesterday. But....it could be on borrowed time. I got the 6.2 when I bought it new so I wasn't short on power for towing and hauling. Recall letter came in May that they need...

    Fierce or Christensen Arms?

    Have a CA Mesa in 308(2023) and a Ridgeline in 7mm mag (2021). Both have been broken in according to CA directions and both shoot well with no issues. I like both guns and enjoy shooting them, along with feeling that I paid a fair price for each, but I do agree that the Tikka rifles are hard...

    Sitka. A leader in outdoors innovation.

    I think they got the name backwards, looks more like a "Hippie Drift Pack":) My wife and daughters all have one of those from LuLuLemon.

    Christensen Arms, what's the verdict?

    I get that some have had issues with their CA's, but the part I don't get is the pricing comments of 'way less' and paying 1/3 the price of a CA rifle for a custom? I'm not saying that it can't be done with great deals or having some parts/pieces, but I paid under $1k for my NIB Mesa, does this...

    Upland hunting hearing protection

    Got the Otto Noizebarriers earllier this year and have been wearing them for sporting clays, rifle range, and hunting. They are a game changer for me. The charge lasts long on the ear pieces and the charger hasn't gotten below 80%. Last year I shot a ground hog with my 357 and no protection...

    New scope for a 30/06

    I have a VX3-HD 3.5-10x50 that I bought last year. Just got it mounted and sighted in, including a trip back to Leupold. Ran out of elevation. Leupold said all good and if still an issue use adjustable rings. Good thing I have a set of Burris Sigature Zee rings. Needed to use the .020 set at...

    Christensen Arms, what's the verdict?

    Bought a Ridgleline in 7mm RM in 2022 and a Mesa in 308 in 2023. Understanding I would need a day for 'break in', I just got the chance to shoot them both in. I was hoping that some of the negativity I read would not be my experience, and was happily rewarded. According to CA, you need to...

    Making a job change possibly...what would you do?

    Not sure if this was brought up: You're a teacher and likely are done with school between 3:30 & 4:00 pm every day? Plenty of time for afternoon hunts until daylight savings time? Plus you have weekends and most holidays off for additional hunting time along with your 2 personal days to...

    Leupold scopes love or hate em?

    In 1990 I put a Tasco World Class on my brand new Ruger M77 MkII 308. Cost me a buck, so I splurged, without 2 nickels to rub together, and bought a Leupold Vari-X II in 1991. The scope has been great and is still in service on another rifle. A few years ago, when I moved it to another rifle...

    The January Topic: KUIU vs Sitka!

    Regardless of brand, I don’t believe I’ve paid full price for more than a few pieces, bought most from Camofire or direct sales. My go to is First Lite, but I also have some mid and outer layers from Pnuma, Sitka, and Kuiu. Of Sitka and Kuiu, I’ll say Sitka (Stratus jacket, Ambient hoodie)...

    What coat/jacket/sweater do I want?

    Thanks for spending my money! Ambient on the way @ 40% off. I read thru this to say to the OP that the Stratus may be an option as well, based on original post. Wind/rain repellant soft shell with removable hood. I got a Stratus in FO from Camofire last year for a great price. Wish I would...

    Meopta Optoika6 Experience

    Also interesting, I recently purchased a Leupold VX-3HD 3.5-10x50 from a 'known' vendor that I have purchased from before both in person and on-line. When I rec'd the scope I had no concerns, but after mounting I ran out of windage (left) while sighting in. In the meantime, I ordered a...

    Rangefinder Recommendations

    I’ve had a Leupold RX800TBI forever. It‘s still useable for archery and has the archery correction which is nice, but stopped being reliable/wouldn’t range beyond 100 yards. 2 years ago I bought a Leica R2400 on sale and it’s a night and day difference in the glass, red vs. black display and...

    Best upland gun dog breed?

    As others have already said, you need to decide what you’ll be hunting and what type of hunter you want, flusher or pointer. Other decisions come down to coat, do you want a short hair or long hair. If you’re hunting thickets with briars and such, long hairs can be a chore after the hunt, GSPs...
