    Battle of the Savage 110s

    It's not about the money saving , it's about being able to tailor a round to a rifle and not being the dolt that can't shoot because there's no ammo available for his rifle at local stores or online for a decent price. While a lot of shooters weren't shooting matches because of ammo shortages I...

    Battle of the Savage 110s

    It wasn't a waste of money, it was an semi expensive lesson to learn that it's easier buying a rifle than building one. SJC

    Small varmint kills (the bastards!)

    I hunt the tick carrying bastards with a Barra 1000x .177 topped with my backup Rix L3 thermal. I was trying to get this little one for awhile, but my work schedule wouldn't allow me to stay up late enough to pop it. SJC

    I think a 12Ga bangstick would be a good implement to try. SJC

    Night Vision Newb looking to get into NV or thermal

    If you want to be set up and ready to hunt, saving up for a thermal spotter and scope would not leave you wanting. Having owned and tested gear in all price ranges, I would recommend a used AGM TM15-384(Internal Battery)($800-$1,000 used) or the newer AGM Seeker 15-384($1,300) that uses an 18650...

    Night Vision Newb looking to get into NV or thermal

    Keep saving your money till you can buy decent quality. Low resolution optics never get better and those optics are cheap for a reason. CR123's are expensive and don't last long. Look in the classifieds, as some good deals pop up now and again. SJC

    Night Vision Newb looking to get into NV or thermal

    Your budget will help make recommendations easier. If you can afford it, helmet mounted NV for navigation and a thermal scope and spotter for hunting. If you don't need to navigate, a thermal spotter and scope. SJC

    Controversal: Dart or Tranquilizer Rifle

    Hypodermic dart's are only accurate for a short distance. 300m ! Like Flu Flu arrows, darts lose velocity really fast. On my friends deer farm we dart deer occasionally and get as close as we can, which is usually around 10-15 feet. He has a really old converted .22 lr bolt action dart rifle...

    Tripod Heights - Your Preferences

    While it isn't the most sturdiest, the Primos Gen3 trigger stick is the quickest terrain adaptable tripod available. The newest Alpha model is a great choice too, but not as quick as the Gen3. When I need to sturdy it up, I use a triggerstick monopod under the buttstock secured with a small...

    Night Vision NV and thermal kills...

    Predator season opens 10/1 in NY state, So I need something to pass the time. I would rather be hunting larger species with a SAW, but I live behind enemy lines. These vermin are looking for the bird food remnants my better half puts out for nesting birds. After shooting mice for six months...

    Savage Trigger Options

    In 2003 I bought a left hand .308 Tactical model with the new Accutrigger. That rifle has changed calibers so many times I've lost count, as well as the round count through the action, but it has the same factory accutrigger with nary an issue. I've put a lot of rounds through my stable of...

    Night Vision $3k thermal weapon sight

    Great choice in supporting a Hide vendor. Beats any brand that still uses early 2000 tech CR123 batteries to power their scopes, like Armasight uses in 2024. SJC

    Night Vision $3k thermal weapon sight

    Hands down the RIX L3 scope. Uses an 18650 battery(comes with 2 and a charger), easy controls, Ocular zoom, built like a tank and a 5 year transferrable warranty. Mine also came mounted in a quality two lever QD mount, but I don't know if that happens with everyone. $2,300 shipped SJC
