All Around Best Option, 18x Binos or Spotting Scope? Only Can Choose One.
I run 10x42 binos and a spotter out west. If you are ditching the 10x42s and will only use the 18x binos or the spotter I’d go with the 18x binos. Quality of glass being equal in the eval, of course...- Buckyranger42

Gunsmiths don’t use a torque wrench?!
It may not have caused issues, but I’m not sure how sensitive scopes are to being over torqued by 5 in/lbs vs 10 in/lbs vs 20 in/lbs...- Buckyranger42

Gunsmiths don’t use a torque wrench?!
It‘s my understanding over torquing can cause inaccurate elevation and windage adjustments. After learning my rings were tightened without confirming the torque I loosened them and then used a torque wrench to accurately tighten the ring screws. Even if that wasn’t the cause for error, gives...- Buckyranger42

Gunsmiths don’t use a torque wrench?!
I kept getting fliers dialing in a new rifle I recently had ”tuned” by my gunsmith, including mounting my scope. I finally questioned the in/lbs the scope rings were tightened to and called my gunsmith to ask what they tightened them to. “We just hand tighten them.” WHAT?! I adjusted them...- Buckyranger42

Did you add that rifle into the “Pretty & Classy rifles. Let’s see them” thread? Fits the bill in my book!- Buckyranger42

What caliber for son?
Fun! The way I read your question is: "should I cut to the chase and go 300WM?" Are there rifle options that will fit him at his age in 300WM? Either way, if he's comfy with the '06 you can't go wrong with that. The recoil factor is "heavily" (pun intended) dependent on rifle design...- Buckyranger42

One of those Henry 30-30s we were talking about would work slick. Head on over to Rice Lake to have a chat with them directly!- Buckyranger42

Lever Action
I appreciate that - it would still be on par relative to my Win 94 but I think that’d be great feedback for Henry. It’d be cool (although maybe sacrilegious for a lever action) to have a fiberglass composite stock...- Buckyranger42

Good Scope Power for Backcountry or Mountain Rifle
3-15 is exactly what I was going to suggest as well. There are lightweight scope options out there with top quality glass in that magnification. I'd recommend investing in better quality glass with a smaller objective (42mm) as it will be lighter and more compact, especially if the scope has...- Buckyranger42

Remington filing for bankruptcy?
This may be redundant given the age of this thread, but it’s my understanding a significant contributor to Remington’s struggles was Bushmaster, the AR line they owned which took a huge hit post-Sandy Hook tragedy. Quality concerns in their core product categories certainly contributed to their...- Buckyranger42

What pistol caliber?
I have a Smith & Wesson 686 in .357 Mag and can hunt deer with it, but it’s not my go-to as a pack revolver. The barrel is too long, yet is the legal minimum length for deer hunting where I’d hunt with it. For a pack revolver, if you’re concern about grizzlies, I prefer a Ruger Super Redhawk...- Buckyranger42
