The warranty is the only reason I would risk it. I guess it doesn’t matter, it’s just another hassle. I would also have to re-zero the rifle it is on currently. I have had an issue before though. A viper took a very light fall (slow and less than a foot) and lost zero the week before I left...

Going with a Trijicon LPVO. Thanks all!

Whoops! What’s crazy is either by stupidity, dyslexia, or inattention to detail, I read the entire thing as having been done by you. Well then congrats @wildwilderness on the beautiful cat!

I recorded my screen and watched it frame-by-frame several times through. That was a very dead cat. @Wildwillalaska excellent shot and a beautiful cat!!

Every time I’m in Texas I check HPB for this. Always miss…

I plan to - just haven’t. Been saving other brass to eventually reload.. I plan to buy 100-200 loaded rounds to start along with a few hundred cases.

I have before. In my opinion, the biggest advance of the gutless method aside from being able to take an animal deep back is that you do not risk contamination of the meat from the gutting process. After you are done, the rib cage is left and you can take whatever you want from inside.

Contacted the seller on GI today. Buying those. I also ended up calling Doubletap and they said that they will probably do another run soon.

I became proficient in the gutless method when I hunted a swampy deer lease that required a 2.5 mile walk in to the good area for both hogs and deer. Breaking down the entire animal takes me about 30 minutes now, no matter the size. The only time it took longer was when my uncle shot a giant...

Hey all, I have officially picked up my first big bore (.416 Taylor). Aside from securing some ammunition, my first task is replacing the Simmons 3-9x40 scope it currently sports with something… better. I don’t really care how it looks, I want it to be functional in the field for DG. I am...

I absolutely hate when people say that, although I have admittedly used the phrase myself. The difference is I would never say to someone’s face (I don’t want them to misconstrue it as negative), I mean it only in a positive way, must be nice and I always finish it with “Very good for them!” or...

I’ve been considering it, but I don’t reload, so I would be starting from scratch on learning + gear. I have begun calling suppliers to see what the lead time would be on dies.

Need some ammo for a gun I just bought. Getting some from Hendershots, but wanted to see if anyone here had anything sitting around first. Thanks!

Having a kid (still a secret, but you’re all strangers so it can’t hurt to say it here:ROFLMAO:) or I’d be all over this. Definitely in if you do it in 2028!

The reason they usually aren't great is because they typically aren't commissioned salesmen or the commissions they recieve are pitiful. As someone who has sold guns for Bass Pro and whose FIL manages a sizable gun store, the employees are typically hourly and are there for two reasons...
