I have a few of the Shooters Ridge bipods in various heights.
There is both a rotating and a non-rotating model. They are good for the money, just watch out for the screws/nuts loosening up and disappearing on you. I loctite mine.
On strenous hunts, I definetly prefer my snipe pod.
I used...
Hey bighouse,
I'm headed to the Stallion Range & I'll hunt on Feb 12th & 13th.
I hope you have a great time and kill a nice one. I intend to have a lot of fun on this short adventure!
Those are great animals, guys. Very motivating to say the least.
I've yet to go after antelope, but with max points in Wyoming, I hope to draw a good unit this fall.
I do believe that I could get hooked on Pronghorns and make a trip for them each year if I could figure how to get a decent tag...
I have 2 of them, Bigluke, and they are great glass. I am an old Leupold diehard, but these Zeiss scopes are really good.
I have the Rapid Z 800 reticle on a 300 WSM and it is great.
The standard duplex reticle on my 223 works really well too, and you can actually see the quality of the glass...
I got my Swarovski 10 x 42 EL's from a fellow hunter. They were very gently used, in NIB condition, and we sent the warranty transfer in. The bino sees serious use now, and I have had zero problems, but this post has reminded me to follow up on the warranty transfer as Swarovski has never...
I drew the Stallion Range for the Feb. 12 & 13 hunt dates for 2011, and have done a ton of research.
It is a 2 day hunt. A small amount of the first morning will be spent in pre-hunt orientation.
By all accounts, the hunt has become a bit more challenging than in the past due to the fact that...
Well, here's my take:
I got my girl Cristal to pick up a copy of the original so that we could view it before the new one came out. I enjoy a quality movie and often research the subject matter before seeing it. Heck, I research everything! We sat down and watched it with my 73 year old...
I will hunt the Stallion Range in February, on the 12th & 13th, and I am looking forward to a fun and different hunt. I have been and still am trying to do all the homework I can in preparation for the short 2 day hunt.
The Oryx seem to be known for a couple of characteristics. One of them is...
Being a bowhunter and muzzleloader most of my life, in addition to appreciating the capabilities of long range clean kills the rifle offers, I prefer to be as close to my quarry as possible. It just enhances the experience and challenge. It played a part in my decision to carry my 454 Casull...
Whoa! You guys have been awfully busy since my last post. I do not claim to be a ballistician, but I do consider myself a "student" of the game and have studied up on this subject quite a bit. I will try to be as helpful as I can. I know that there are plenty of guys out there much better...
I'm a Remington man at heart, Sage, but I do own some Browning & Winchester and have come close to picking up a Tikka a few times.
There isn't a "bad" choice to be made among your selection. It really comes down to your personal choice, and of course the main criteria in both caliber and rifle...
I just put one on my Rem LSS 300RUM and dialed it in dead on at 300 yards. I like to do this with my flatter shooting rifles and go 200 on non-magnums. Your dial will be limited in long range dial in distance, and the 300 yard zero will give me about 850 yards on my set up.
I wouldn't recommend...
I should have enough points to draw the archery tag next year and would really like to get on some good public ground, but would consider private if a reasonable trespass fee were available. I also don't mind knocking on doors and offering to help landowners in any way for hunting opportunities...
