    Lighted Reticle Scope

    Its kinda a bummer. They were one of the better manufacturers out there.

    Lighted Reticle Scope

    I'll try searching on Midway. Both Amazon and Optics Planet are horrible for scope searches. They both include non-lighted reticles and exclude lighted reticles. I hope Midway's system works better. You're also (kinda) right about "entry level optic". I'm certainly not looking in the $1,000...

    Lighted Reticle Scope

    Are these still made? I love the cheap Nikon on my Trophy Hunter XP, but every X1000 I've looked up came up "discontinued".

    Bait-less black bear hunting in the North woods of MN

    Thou art wiser than one realizes. I've been bear hunting over bait since I started back in 2013. Anybody who thinks its easy or provides an unfair advantage hasn't tried it. It takes dedication, hard work, and planning. When that bear finally comes in, it is exhilarating. Congratulations...

    DIY Black Bear

    Never been on a spring bear hunt, as they don't offer them out here. Every time I see one on TV, the hunters seem to get eaten alive by mosquitoes. TWC, if you don't want to bait hunt, might you consider hunting with hounds? Northern New England states offer it (just got back from one myself...

    What is your concern? Temperature affecting battery performance?

    Lighted Reticle Scope

    Bushnell used to make a Banner with a lighted crosshair. It was cheap, so I bought one. Still not 100% convinced it will hold up, but so far I wish I had bought a few more.

    Lighted Reticle Scope

    New Hampshire. Short range. I don't need high power, but when hunting bears, a lighted reticle is quite valuable.

    Lighted Reticle Scope

    Nice, but most certainly well out of my price range.

    How many rounds at the range?

    I usually bring 3-4 rifles precisely so I may continue shooting while a barrel cools. Most of my centerfire rifles want to take a thermal break after 4 rounds. I always bring the .22 just to break the cycle. For some reason Savage likes to put heavy barrels on its .338 Federal rifles, so I...

    Ammo prices

    The government isn't completely blameless here. Their failure to quell the riots has driven up demand, and the pointless COVID lockdowns have hurt both production and transportation. After all, how can anybody really be a "hoarder" now? I hoarded ammo last year; haven't been able to do it...

    Lighted Reticle Scope

    Hey folks. I'm looking to get a lighted reticle scope for my daughter's .308. Most lighted reticle scopes have a tiny red dot in the center. This is NOT what I want. At one time, I bought a Bushnell Banner lighted reticle scope that had a small lighted cross, red or green. We like it, but...

    savage 110 ultralite

    Did you get Savage to get you a new barrel? Could something else, like the chamber be the culprit? I know what you mean about the spiral-fluted bolt. My daughter's Lightweight Storm has a fluted bolt, and while it is smoothing in, it is nowhere near as smooth as the standard 110 bolt. Is it...

    savage 110 ultralite

    BTW, as much of a Savage fan as I am, I have one Savage Axis II, and I would not buy another. It works, but the model 110s are so much better for not much more money.

    savage 110 ultralite

    I bought my first Savage rifle in 2013 - a Model 11 Trophy Hunter XP with the Nikon scope in .308. This remains my primary cub slayer, although I am moving to .338 Federal. For various reasons (including good, old-fashioned addiction), I have been buying bolt-action hunting rifles from Savage...

    savage 110 ultralite

    Just because the barrel costs $900 doesn't mean its worth it. The stock 110 Savage rifles are very accurate. To pay $700 more for a rifle that adds: 1) Adjustable comb height and 2) threaded barrel just doesn't seem worth it to me, at least on paper. All academic for me anyway; The kids get...

    Any close black bear encounters?

    Nevermind that. What we really want to hear is what happened to you when you came down :)

    Poll: Do-it-all freezer fillin' rifle

    One thing often overlooked when people talk about smaller bullets killing animals is the blood trail. I am mainly a bear hunter, so this is of particular importance to me, which is why my main bear rifle switched from .308 Winchester to .338 Federal. In 2017 I shot a bear in Maine with my...
