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)...- Rugern01

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...- Rugern01

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...- Rugern01

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...- Rugern01

Meopta Optoika6 Experience
The weight has kept me away from the current Meopta lineup. Sadly, for some reason, they moved away from the Zeiss Conquest (v1?) style with their MeoPro line which was a bit lighter and a smaller power dial. I have a (10yo?) Zeiss Conquest 3-9x40 which has been great on a 7mm Rem Mag and a...
