I’m looking to buy a new rifle next year and love the look of the Randy Newberg rifle. Especially since it has a muzzle break. But I prefer a Leupold VX-5. Any chance the Randy rifles will be available without a scope? I would also be very interested in a new lightweight model like the Alpine...
Want the bird hunters opinions. I’ll be hunting this week in Colorado with a friend. He has a muzzleloader elk tag and I’m doing the calling. I managed to pick up an archery deer tag after the draw so I’ll bring my both with. Since I have a small game license I was going to bring Judo points for...
Being a Coloradan with no kids I do all the usual CO outdoor hobbies. So I’ll just add my one unique one. I build from scratch and ride adult big wheels. They have slick rear wheels and slide just like the one you had as a kid. My wife and I take them to the downhill skateboarding hills and...
This. If you’ve only tried the cheap instant coffee at least give the Starbucks Via a try. I know it’s expensive But it’s made different. I worked for Starbucks in college during the roll out of Via and they taught us how it’s made differently then other brands and made us do multiple blind...
I'm about to pull the trigger on the Meostars through schmalts but thought I'd ask one more question. Anybody use the Meopta warranty? I'm still considering the Leupolds. I know both brands offer lifetime. But I like the idea of dealing with an American company compared to a Czech company's...
I had a 2019 Metcalf I got on a 30% of sale. I loved it but thought a few things could be better. This spring after seeing the updates of the 2020 I sold it for what I paid for it because it wasn't on sale anywhere at the time. Then managed to pick up a 2020 on a 20% sale at Scheel's this...
I'll add a quote from the first Jurassic Park, "spare no expense". Don't go cheap just in case she doesn't continue hunting. Buy her the best and except that you'll have to sell it for a loss on Craiglist if she doesn't like it. As and example, about 5 years ago me and a snowboard buddy who just...
I didn’t know that about Luxe. Thanks for adding that. When I can finally sell this tent/save up my money I’m going to either get the Hilleberg or a Seek Outside. I love that the Seek outside is light weight and bigger than the Hilleberg. And as a CO resident would love to support but I just...
Going to revive this to see if anyone has had my experience. Last year I got some Kenetrek ME 400g. I broke them in with no blister problems and wore them for three separate hunts with not blisters/hotspots. And that was with normal lacing and single pair of Kenetrek socks. Greatest boots I’ve...
I will start this by saying I will never support or purchase Kuiu. My many personal reasons should be left for a different thread. I don't want to sidetrack your thread. The only thing I will mention is that the now deceased founder/owner of Kuiu specifically said he doesn't want people of your...
Got a response from Leupold. The 10x42s do not have Abbe prisms. So probably going to be the Meoptas. I did get a hold of schmalts. Definitely going to buy from him. I just have to convince the swmbo. Lol. I’m not worried about eye cups. I run a MR bino harness so I take the cups off. Thanks...
Ok great. Lots of support for the Meostars. After some looking it seams I can get the BX-5s and Meostars for within less than $100 of each other and both much cheaper than the Mavens. I'm leaning towards the Meostars based on everyone here. Only hesitation is that the Meostars use Schmidt prisms...
I’ve been experimenting for the last year since I’m planning first backpack hunt this season. I’ve come up with. Few good ones and some other things I’m still tweaking. Dehydrating your meals taste so much better than freeze dried and are a fraction of the cost. Without my recipe book next to me...
My birthday is the start of archery season this year and I'm thinking of asking the wife to get me some new binos. I'm by no means a glass snob and I'm still fairly novice to western hunting (3 seasons) and new to spending big money on hunting gear. But I'm getting better at "buy once cry once"...
Well thought I'd give you guys an update on my Tarptent situation. I am officially done with Tarptent and will not purchase anything from them. As mentioned before I ordered a Moment DW. On initial receipt I was happy with it overall. Only initial problem is it doesn't come with guy lines even...
