    When you decide on which exact one you want send me the model # and if I see a deal I‘ll send you a PM, I have a couple online honey holes I check for deals on new Nightforce!

    I have a good friend who had a small shop at one time, he basically still does… I’ve been fortunate that he will allow me to test any scope or binos I want, and on my rifle, I can even take this stuff home and use it for however long I want and mess around with it, probably an entire season if I...

    “Better” boots really shine when you develop foot/joint problems during your life, which can be from many different reasons, then anyone who never has.. will truly appreciate what it takes to make a great boot and understand why there are some that have no choice but to spend big $$$ on...

    I can’t imagine anything being better than the Garmin, just wait until you use it, if you never used an old chronograph before you are super lucky to be starting out with that Garmin, what a procedure they were to use compared to this new stuff, I could never go back to it.

    My first PA hunt ever.. and it was a pretty good one!

    You guys have me thinking about deer hunting now… This is a long story, but a good one and worth the read if your so inclined, if not… that’s ok too, there mite be something to learn from this one, maybe not, idk, but it was an adventure I will never forget and I’m sure most will find it funny...

    The chassis I held, that MDT HNT 26 is over on Rokslide right now for sale with a Christensen Arms 6.5 Creed in it, nice light little package for someone, if it was left handed I probably would have caved and own it.

    My first PA hunt ever.. and it was a pretty good one!

    Thanks I appreciate it! Definitely, I’ve found all my best stand/saddle spots, and camera locations by tracking on snow, while hunting and after season scouting. I can’t stress enough to anyone who doesn’t have the luxury of snow for hunting/scouting how much a person can learn while following...

    Well I have a rain day today so it was time to finish this thing and order a stock… I went with my original plan, a carbon fiber AG Composites Privateer, it should be around 25 oz, after some thinking on the chassis it’s just more than I need, I’ve always favored a more traditional style stock...

    I couldn’t agree more, my rifle I use now is perfect, a model 7 is also a perfect woods rifle, none of this stuff is necessary it’s a want item, which makes the cost suck even more, I did the same thing and I bought my son a rifle this winter, I got lucky and found the matching rifle to what I...

    And here’s the worst part, I found one in stock… one click and I don’t have to wait 3-4 months… I need to look his over better, maybe tomorrow, maybe later today I’ll weigh my barreled action and start crunching some numbers, I’ve literally did zero research on a chassis, after holding his I got...

    Well now I have a serious problem, I just popped into a friend of mine who generally has owned everything known to man rifle related and usually twice, and there sat a new MDT HNT 26 chassis, with folding stock, that sucker is light, and it locks up nice and tight, the stock…. visions of folding...

    Boots

    They’re great boots, I won’t wear anything else until I have to, like everything else though they have to fit right, and they do for me, good luck!

    People are still asking pandemic prices…. but imho it’s over, that market is gone, especially on the “nice” stuff, deals are showing up again I’ve noticed compared to a couple years ago which was nuts, I would list something and it would be sold in 1 day, so yea people are still asking...

    Boots

    Yes true to size 100%, their wide is not crazy wide like snowshoes it’s perfect in my opinion, I wear an 11 wide, if you order a pair and the fit feels off mess with the laces first before giving up, once you have a pair you will understand what I mean, after you get them dialed in with the...

    Boots

    Wherever I can get them the cheapest, I check periodically online for sales/promo codes, since I know my size already and Lowa's fit is consistent I have zero fear of problems or returning them, and stock up when I catch a sale.

    Well I bet it’s going to be awesome and you will have it forever! There is a couple lefty Manners on Gunbroker right now, but they’re asking way too much in my opinion, more than MSRP, I thought about giving them a call and politely explaining that to them and see what happens :tearsofjoy:, I...

    The stock is always the worst part to find being a lefty, it’s almost easier to get that first and build around it has been my experience, I hoard lefty stocks I find on Fleebay, Funbroker, and forums that are deals and go from there, I’m not a chassis person but I believe some of them are...

    If you decide to build one and go with a prefit on a Defiance or 700 clone action I got you covered on the action wrench and barrel vise so that would save you a couple hundred $$.
