    Bino Recommendation

    Maybe this will help. I worked in Bass Pro"s Hunting Dept. for a year and a half (2017-18) assisting customers with firearms and optics. I looked thru every pair except garbage. I didn't see a need for binoculars but considered it. (I usually left the K-Mart pair in the truck). I ended up with...

    Winchester model 70 chambered in.300 weatherby

    Around 1986 I was interested in purchasing a model 70 in 300 Weatherby. It was only available thru the Custom Shop. Around $2400 - $2600. To rich for me.

    Help- my gun won’t group

    That's not a very stable looking shooting shooting set up. Try a rock solid bench and some factory ammo first then go from there. Ditch that folding card table.

    What rifles are you planning to use in the 23/24 deer seaon?

    Best rifle case for the money.

    I have 4 of the Boyt hard side cases. Steel clasps, locks up nice and secure. Catch them on sale for $100. The 53" is what you would need for a 26" barreled rifle.

    Orange oil wood polish for rifle stock?

    I haven't tried Ren Wax yet but read only good opinions about it. I have used Johnson"s paste wax and 100% cotton T-shirt on my walnut stocks. Very easy to apply, it sort of liquifies as you apply it. I Kroil all metal. My main concern is weather protection. I'm open to suggestions.
