    Burris FF E1 vs Nikon Prostaff P3 / P5

    I currently have a Burris Fullfield E1 3-9x40 that I find very reliable and the clarity / image quality / light transmission seems to be very good. I don't have a ton of disposable income so $300 or less for optics is where I'm at. A few years ago I picked up a Nikon Prostaff 7s 10x42 bino that...

    .458 RCM wildcat?

    I got to thinking about a .458 wildcat built on an RCM case. After looking at the case dimensions it seems to me that necking up an RCM case to accept a .458 bullet would be possible. If a velocity of 2400fps could be attained that would give the rifle a MPBR of about 245yds when using the...

    Good Attractant

    I’m trying to find a good attractant for whitetail deer in NY. I can’t use anything they can eat. It has to be all scent based. No licks or feed, etc. I’ve read about mashing acorns and making a spray with it and also using vanilla extract. Any other scents I could make that will work as an...

    .243 85gr TSX & .223 55-62gr TSX

    I have a 20in barrel .243 and I want to start reloading for it. I’m moving to all copper bullets and I’m not sure what kinds of load data I should look at. I put some Federal Power Shok copper over a chrono and was averaging 2820fps, which is a loss of 95fps per inch of barrel. I really like the...

    Pick a cartridge

    I'm writing a story for fun. The main character moves to Alaska and during that process picks up a used Ruger Hawkeye in a gun shop. Which caliber should his Hawkeye be? .308 Win .338 Fed .358 Win

    .338 Fed or .358 Win

    Both these cartridges seem very similar, ballistically. The 338 seems to be a little faster and the only difference between it and the .358 is bore size. Which one is a better round to load for and use for all around big game use? I'm in the north east so I don't have the opportunity to take...

    Almost Filled my Tag

    I've been trying to teach myself how to hunt and seem to be making progress. This morning I decided to tough out high winds and snow to see what I could find. Well, when I was walking out I hear a rustling that sounds like running coming from my 3 o'clock. I know it has to be a deer so I unsling...

    .243 Rebore

    Two years ago I bought a .243 Win for deer hunting. I have a .30-06 but don't enjoy the recoil and heavy weight of the rifle. I could have bought my .243 in 7-08 but didn't and sort of regret it. Anyways, I moved back north and have thought about reboring it to .260 or 6.5 CM to push heavier...

    What are some good resources to read/watch in regards to whitetail hunting? I'm not very experienced and would like to expand my knowledge.

    Hello from NY

    I've hunted off and on over the years, but never had time to "get into it". I love the outdoors. I grew up camping, hiking and backpacking. I want to learn as much as I can and become a successful hunter. Hoping to bag my first deer this season for my 31st burthday!
