    LRF for steel at 1 mile

    Granted, I have little experience, but this is my thought. If you are ranging steel, a human placed it. If it was someone else, it is probably a range and you know the distance. If you placed it, gps will tell you where it is, or a hike will. Dropping pins seems like such an easy solution...

    Reality check on new rifle

    I appreciate all of the replies very much. I am still digesting all of your thoughts and weighing my options. At the moment I'm thinking of staying with the 6.5 and dusting off the 22rf. My oldest boy is 10 and wants to take a deer this year. He will probably spend a lot of time behind a...

    Reality check on new rifle

    When you all talk about a heavy 6.5, how heavy are we talking to mitigate recoil? I was thinking of getting a howa hcr or bergara hmr if I went with 6.5 creed. My paperwork was just filed today for a can, so that will be a minute.

    Reality check on new rifle

    I will try to make this short, but I am to the point that my thoughts are all jumbled together. I have never really shot over 200 yards, and I am pretty sensitive to recoil. I can shoot an AR fine, but after 10 rounds of 25-06 in a hunting weight rifle I am flinching like a princess. I fell...

    Maggie’s Who's Ditched The East Coast For Montana, Idaho, WY, ND or SD?

    I moved my family from california to the dakotas in 2010, and we couldn't be happier. There is no shortage of good people and places. It would also be pretty easy for you because nobody hates maine, so they won't automatically hate you. Most of the bigger cities still lean hard left...

    Rifle Scopes Fixed 10X ?

    Re: Fixed 10X ? Yeah, I am thinking the $300 10X. I figured I would not be happy with my first scope, no matter what I bought. If I do decide later that I am serious about shooting LR, I will drop big money. Is that logic flawed?

    Rifle Scopes Fixed 10X ?

    I have been studying for a few days now on new glass for my '06. I finally settled on a fixed 10X. I am thinking the Super Sniper, but wanted to ask first. Is there anything else comparable that I should look into? Sorry for the my first post being what it is, but the optics world has...
