Welcome from Simi Valley.

I use Nexgard. My vet has an online portal with periodic deals so I got 6 months of Nexgard and 6 months of Heartgard Plus for $146. My sister is also a vet and that is what she recommended. My dog got bit by a tick that I missed back in December and it killed the tick without transmitting...

My first rifle ever was one of those $100 M91/30's from Big 5. Probably would not have pursued shooting sports if I didn't put that Limbsaver on there lol.

I have been starting to appreciate the Pachmayr decelerators more and more as time goes on. Even the half inch version that Manners has been offering on their light weight hunting options have been great at handling moderate recoil calibers like 300WSM and 7PRC. I do like Limbsaver as well...

I had a Ruger American Rimfire that shot 6-8" groups at 50 yards that was of the usual Ruger inferior fit and finish. Remington 783 that just would not feed from the magazines properly. Granted those are both budget offerings, so the expectations was pretty low. I also made the mistake of...

If you don't do Apple, the company Tile makes a bunch of options as well.

If you are trying to save weight, Thermarest is still the way to go. I have had their Xtherm since 2015 and its has never failed me. Weight and comfort/ease of inflation are sort of a trade offs with pads. My Xtherm rolls down to nothing, but takes a fair bit of blowing up which isn't the...

I bought a laser unit when I was brand new to hunting and never will again. Most decent sized public ranges (at least near me) have steel once you get out to 200 yards or so, typically on some kind of berm/backstop. I shoot at 200 first, and spot my hits in the dirt, then use the reticle to...

Agreed on all accounts. Definitely have learned that when it comes to guns and optics, one size does not fit all. The civil discourse is part of what makes this forum so great. And thank you!

Interestingly enough, I would encourage you to consider the exact opposite and put it on top. If I am shooting and need to transition to the red dot all I have to do is lift my head up (I have a giraffe neck which helps). My stock stays in the exact same place on my shoulder, so I am not...

+1 for piggybacking red dots, I do it on all my hunting rifles. The weight penalty is minimal and then you don't have to worry about your low end magnification range or whether an FFP reticle is useable.

Which model specifically are you looking at? Retailers like Redhawk Rifles do stock some of the lightweight hunting options and McMillan does have a fair number of in stock offerings in their own store depending on how particular you want to be.

Ah yes, accuses us millennial shooters who love carbon fiber because it is lighter weight and performs better than wood of leading to the downfall of wood stocks. Then turns around and asks for a wood stock that weighs and performs like carbon fiber. You will find that to be a futile quest for...

Its a Vortex Venom. They have sort of become my go to budget reflex sight for non-pistol applications. One of the few dots that have the benefit of still coming with a Picatinny adapter. Plus if you break one Vortex will replace it.
