    Preferred barrel blanks (the company)

    Received my custom chambered 20-250 CF barrel from Preferred in late September. Fit and finish are on par with the other CF barrels I have at hand. Nothing special, but I had no choice because they were the only barrel maker that offered the 20-250 custom chamber. Put it through its paces and...

    Rix Storm 3 vs Leap 3

    I've been using an L3 as my backup scope for awhile now and it's performed admirably. I didn't want to spend more than $2,500 for a backup scope. The ocular zoom isn't a gimmick, it works as designed. It makes a 384 scope a viable option for longer range shot's. The scope doesn't record the...

    Rix Storm 3 vs Leap 3

    The rix zoom feature is an ocular zoom, not an optical zoom. It magnifies the display and doesn't degrade the resolution when zooming. It does minimize the size of the display, but it isn't really noticeable when targeting prey at longer ranges, which is what it is there for. When combined with...

    22 250 savage- copper fouling massive?

    Please give them a call, I'm sure the CS Dept needs a good laugh hearing that a couple year old rifle chambered in a known barrel burner cartridge that wasn't maintained properly has severe copper fouling. Shoot it till you can't see through it and then change barrels. Or be like Mike Tyson and...

    Intro into night vision hunting

    If you get a real thermal scope and spotter you'll see that thermal tops NV unless as mentioned for navigation and sometimes closer engagements if you happen to be navigating and run into a target or know a target is there because you spotted it with thermal. You can buy a BNIB with 5 year...

    Small varmint kills (the bastards!)

    Thanks, but 100 yards is a chip shot for this setup. The grass was about a foot high, so it looked like a medium sized dog when it came into the field. I was surprised when I retrieved it and the farmer was happy too. SJC

    Straight-pull bolt action

    Seven seconds into this video you can hear and see an example of a properly broken in and maintained Savage Impulse Predator rifle being fired and cycled while resting on a Primos trigger stick tripod. SJC

    Hunting & Fishing Hand held thermal for night coyote hunting

    I tested and have been using AGM spotters since their arrival. The newest Seeker 15-384 is a great low priced unit that takes an 18650 battery, which was the one thing I disliked about their earlier offerings with internal batteries. It's my current backup/loaner spotter. I keep the TM15-384 in...

    Night Vision Best thermal combo for 7k budget

    Rix L6 640 res scope and the AGM Seeker 15-384 Monocular. Both run on 18650 replaceable batteries and both will run you about $5K total. For the distances your shooting an LRf is useless. Screwing around with LRF's has saved many a coyote's life. Don't make it so complicated. Just put the...

    Night Vision NV and thermal kills...

    There are many tripods available for stand hunters, but few for the run and gun hunter. No need for a tripod if you don't have a few rifles to rest in it. A maintained trigger stick is your best friend. SJC

    Night Vision NV and thermal kills...

    The Trigger stick needs to be maintained like any other tripod. The internal screws do get loose over time and I've had the same thing happen to me, but with a pig saddle attached. Luckily I was able to trace my route and found it with the help of the thermal monocular. I bought another trigger...

    Night Vision Bare minimum Thermal scope and mono recommendation

    It's the same old question I've been asked and see here asked ad nauseum, What thermal optic(s) would you recommend for someone on a budget ? This is the golden age of thermal and while I don't like supporting foreign adversaries , the far east manufacturers are really putting out some great...
