    Spotting Scopes

    Plenty of good options in that price range, but try to look through them before you buy... They all have their differences. I will throw my vote in and say the vortex viper hd is a good option, and could be found in that price range. I have a 15-45x65 that I will be selling here shortly for...

    new binos vs. spotting scope

    A lot depends on how you hunt. The breaks is a big area, with lots of of places for elk to hide. For your budget of $800 you could get some mid level leupold or vortex products and have both. If your just going to hike and chase any elk you find, your money would be well spent on some bino's and...

    Elk Daypack for Archery

    If a budget is concerned, I wouldn't look past the Kuiu packs. I have had an 1850 pro for several years and it does everything and more for me. I have a bad shoulder, that can give me issues and I have always been able to adjust my kuiu pack to keep it happy. They also have several options for...

    Leupold Vx-6hd

    I looked very long and hard at the vx-6hd for my new 300 win mag, but could justify the price. I currently own a vx-5hd 3-15x44 with the firedot and love it, but ended up getting a pst gen ii 5-25. I opted for the second focal plane reticle in moa and currently have zero regrets. I have not put...

    Fishing/ATV exploring around Anaconda, MT - Thoughts?

    I know plenty of you guys live in the area... so I thought I would ask. I am taking my family up to Fairmont Hot Springs for the 4th of July week. I have been to the area many times, but never brought along atv's. Wondering if anyone has any recommendations on some mountain lakes we could...

    SW Montana Elk Rifle Typical Weather Conditions

    Your estimate is as good of a guess as anyone can give. That time of year in the Mountains you will likely see a variety of weather. The classic wisdom of have plenty of layers, will serve you well. I have hunted that region for several years now. I have seen a range of -20 to 75 in the past...

    Binoculars you would swear by

    Here is my quick two cents. There are cheap optics, mid range optics and alpha glass. If you aren't jumping price categories, I think it is unlikely your eye will see anything different. You might get better ergonomics of the bino's, but that is it. My best example - viper hd vs razor hd, I can...

    Swarovski repair service

    I have seen a couple comments about Vortex being different, because they just replace broken gear (i.e. it's cheap and disposable). This may be true of their lower end items, I have never had that experience though. I primarily have had Viper, and Razor stuff. It all has serial numbers and has...

    Swarovski repair service

    Maybe I continue to be too trusting? I buy and sell lots of online items, I didn’t feel like this deal had much risk. I am sending the product to the manufacturer that claims to have a lifetime warranty. I called Swarovski, explained the situation, registered the product and told them what...

    Swarovski repair service

    So a little more to the story. Swarovski has confirmed from their records, when the box arrived to them, it was in “good condition. Things that make me doubt the seller lies: He had to have these fake photos ready, but still show me the minor scratches and paint chips I asked for. He was going...

    Swarovski repair service

    I got really frustrated after 8 weeks of dealing with this issue, just wanted to lay the facts out and see if I behaved appropriately or got too frustrated. I traded a pair of vortex binoculars for a pair of swarovski el 10x42's and some cash. Me and the seller exchanged lots of pictures and...

    Deer - lets see em

    Went out deer hunting last weekend, went for an evening drive and 15 minutes later my Dad and I doubled up on bucks. First rifle hunt for my kids, so it was a great time. Gotta love mule deer hunting in MT.

    Looking for a golden retriever puppy - billings, mt

    Looking to get my kids a new puppy for Christmas. They are pretty set on a retriever, where as I would rather have another lab. Anyone got any leads in the billings area? Just looking for the kids a new best friend, but hunting skills would be a plus. I have spent some time online looking at...

    First Focal Plane vs Second

    I debated about buying the exact same two scopes. I am shooting a .270 and it is my do everything rifle for hunting in Montana. I use the BDC reticles as they work very well with my .270 load. The FFP was my first choice and seemed like it would be an excellent do-all scope. I ended up not...

    Best Knife Sharpening system for hunting knives

    Bringing this back from the dead! looking into sharpening a bunch of old knives I have, or going the route of getting a replaceable blade knife. Has anyone tried this sharpener? It seems to have amazing reviews online. I am a novice, so I am looking for something that will hopefully make knife...

    rangefinder

    The vortex ranger has always worked well for me. Both Archery hunting and rifle hunting... I cannot see why I would swap it out unless I needed something to handle longer ranges. I can easily range hill sides 700-800 yards and that is a lot farther than I will ever shoot. the red display works...
