So I'm at point where it looks like my options might be either fusion or replacement. I dont want to stop packing up and hitting the hills, returning with a heavier pack so I'm looking for anyone with any experience to share. The surgeon says you cant tell the difference walking down the hallway...

In the past, it was all Leupold - now after a ton of advice here and legwork, (for me) Swarovski. Recently purchased the Z6i with BT - and am very pleased with the clarity. Like many, most game under the 300 yd stick. I know it wasn't one of your preferred pieces of glass - but would...

Morning - For me, as a west coast, coastal hunter, it is too much glass. My primary "big game" hunting is wild / feral pig and non-migratory deer in mostly rolling hills / oak savannah. I've traveled out of state for elk and mule deer and have been comfortable with the optics I have - though I...

Echo the sentiments on Doug being a great guy w excellent pricing and Leica (I jumped in on the 2800). My purchase was a true upgrade as I was using a Bushnell Elite from early 2000’s I will say that my primary and usual use is hunting.

Morning All - Inherited my fathers mid 1960's M65DL in 7mm Rem mag and it hasn't been fired since the 70's. My plan is to make it both a heritage rifle and my go to Santa Barbara County (Wild Pig and Deer) primary rifle. I'd like to have a smith with experience with this vintage rifle, go over...

@KSB209 - Did you decide on anything? Any suggestions from your research? Find myself in a similar seat.... Thanks

Morning All - First, as @Gater says, thanks and appreciate your honesty and humility - I've missed long and short - and relive what happened on all. In the foothills of SB County, (primarily oak savanah, rolling hills, scrub, and lots of oak!) most shots are under 400 yds. I personally won't...

Being on this Board opens the door to so much collective experience - a great start for sure. I've used Kifaru for over 20ish years or so. Found them doing this same type of ask. I retired my original LongHunter pack and replaced with their Duplex frame and 22 mag pack. Sure, a little spendy...

Still waiting....Can you share who makes your custom holster? Looking for something for my P220 in 10mm - will be attaching it to a Kifaru 22 mag on a Duplex Lite frame Thanks much.

Very cool looking rig!!

Am in the same boat - ended up ordering an Aliengear Holster designed for the MOLLE - https://aliengearholsters.com/cloak-mod-molle-holster.html Haven't received yet - production is a little backed up.

With Garmin, you can project a waypoint / marker by (from the Garmin manual): From the home screen, select Waypoint Manager. Select a waypoint. Select > Project Waypoint. Enter the bearing, and select Done. Select a unit of measure. Enter the distance, and select Done. Select Save. You...

Like most (non-repeater) radios, the Rino series does best with flat open terrain. The Rino series does offer the opportunity to use as GMRS duplex (using a repeater to extend coverage - requires FCC license) however, finding a tower in your area that covers the already installed frequency range...

My inherited Schultz and Larsen - 7mm Rem mag. Factory wood - Think it was from somewhere in the early 70's purchased at The Grant Boys in Costa Mesa CA before they went out of business.

Morning @Heavyiron - Thanks much for the welcome.
