My preferred weapon(s)
Depends on the game being chased, but the overall favs in my collection are:
- Ruger M77 in 7x57mm Mauser w/Burris Eurodiamond 3-10x40mm electrodot illum. scope
- Custom-built Czech Mauser in .257 Robert w/Nikon Monarch 3.5-10x50mm red/green illum. scope
- Custom-built Czech Mauser in .35 Whelen w/Burris Signature Series 1.5-6x32mm electrodot illum. scope
On the chocks to be built, my new fav... on an FN Belgian Mauser action, .280 Remington Ackley Improved, and I'm leaning towards a Burris SixX 2-12x40mm illum. scope
What weapon(s) do you hunt with?
  1. Rifle
  2. Shotgun
My preferred optic(s)
Leupold, Nikon, Zeiss, Burris. Like Swarovski and Schmidt & Bender, but haven't spent the bucks for those yet.
Occupation
DOD
Gear I cannot live without
My Zeiss Conquest binoculars. They blow away the competition. Took them to Iraq with me and everyone wanted to borrow them.
My best hunting tip
Shoot straight! (i.e., practice). Use enough gun for the job; but one you're not afraid to shoot. Too many people suffer from "magnumitis" thinking they need the biggest, baddest cannon on the planet. NOT SO! Just put an adequate bullet in the breadbasket, and you'll have meat on the table every time!
My other interests
Scuba diving, horsebackriding, snow skiing, flying (SEL pilot), among other things.
