I have the forehead rest on my 12's and really like it. Gives an extra measure of stability and isn't obtrusive. Binos still fit in the same AGC harness.

tower- I actually use the 8x32's probably 80% of the time. I went with the 32 mm for a slightly smaller package. For glassing at my most common distances, i.e. a mile or less, they are perfect. Easier to carry and I use them to spot game, not try to score animals. The 12's are more for the...

I have 12x42 NL and 8x32 NL’s. Upgraded from EL’s a few years ago. Great field of view. Maybe slightly better glass. Not sorry I made the switch. Oh, great ergonomics too.

Based on the recommendation of a kind gentleman on this site last year I bought some Gunstix. They were a game changer for me. Weigh about 2.5 pounds and collapse to 32 inches.

As a kid I drooled over these German Weatherby's every time I went to the gun shop. .300 Weatherby was my dream gun, but never could afford one. Now that I can afford one, I have too many other guns to use so can't justify fulfilling the dream! First world problems, I know. If the sale falls...

I don't have a good answer to the question, but will relate personal experience. In the late '90's I guided archery elk hunters for an outfitter friend of mine. We were typically up at 4 a.m. and usually to bed by 10 p.m. The rest of the day (about 18 hrs.) was guiding, horseback riding...

I've been shot (hit) twice while pheasant hunting. One pierced the skin in my leg and had to be removed. The other hit my neck hard enough to cause it to bleed, but bounced out. Horse are over backwards in 1989 and tore up a knee. Slid off the trail and almost straight down the mountain for...

Just got back from the group hunt at Rockin G and pig hunting in Oklahoma. Another Alaskan brown bear hunt in May and also firmed up plans for a December N.M. oryx hunt.

Based on a recommendation from a member here, I got some GunStix last year before my N.M. oryx hunt. I did get the front leg, so essentially a tripod. Never shot off of 'sticks' before. The pic is my first group at 100 yds. w/ .300 W.M. off the 'sticks'. Then used them on the oryx for a 278...

I like the idea of double use, but think it depends on what you're hunting. My concern, especially with coyotes, would be that you spot one through the handheld, but by the time you get it mounted on the gun, the coyote might be gone or hard to find again. I think for hogs at a feeder the...

I just returned from a hog hunt where I used a thermal (outfitter's rifle) for the first time. Amazing piece of equipment. My conclusion, for my purposes, is that a QD thermal and separate scanner will work best.

Does this use a CR 2032 battery?

Video call with the seller holding the item is best!

Based on the recommendation of a fellow on this site, I bought a set of GunStix last year. They've been a game changer for me. Highly recommend.

My spring 2023 brown bear had the remains of a moose calf in its belly and flying in we saw several bears trailing moose cows. I can understand the need for bear control as moose are a 'lifeline' for many Alaskan residents.

DO NOT post 'I'll take it' or 'pm sent' on the public forum. The scammers clue in on these to send the texts/emails. Just do a direct pm to the individual if interested in something.

As a bit of an offshoot, you might also consider the Garmin Messenger. Same capability as the inReach, but lets you type on your phone rather than on the small inReach screen.

My question is: why would a seller use photos taken a year earlier in his ad? Seems questionable to me.

I use a Nanuk like Odonata and have been very pleased. Well built in Canada.

These scenarios just confirm my personal decision to only do a face to face on a gun deal unless it's a generic gun that I won't cry over if it's lost/damaged.

I may be coming through close to eastern Missouri in Feb. If you haven't found one by then, let me know and maybe we can work something out.

Check out the Sportsman's Legacy, Kalispell, MT. site. They have a bunch of Kimbers and Dakotas so you can get an idea of what you prefer.

A few things that irk me. First is posting an ad without pics and saying pics will be posted later. If you can't take the time to include pics with the ad, what else will you be lazy with? Shipping? Communication, etc.? Secondly, is folks that ask for pics or info and when you supply it, you...

There's one in the Long Range Hunting classifieds for $850. CDS is unused.

Sheep Show in Reno in Jan. where I plan to win a desert hunt! lol. AH group bird hunt at Rockin' G. and pigs in TX. and OK after that in Feb. Alaska brown bear in May. Oryx hunt, possibly 2, if I decide to include Scimitar horned later in the year, probably November. Usual suspects of elk...

Hope they get it under control. A friend of ours had something similar and ended losing his leg above the knee before they got it resolved. Best of luck to you.

I just finished my second oryx hunt on his New Mexico ranch. A stunning property and a testament to his vision. Going back again in 2025.

Preferably a video call with the seller holding the item.

Always surprises me that someone will take the time to post a classified ad, but won't take the extra minute or so beforehand to take the pics to post with it.

Let's try $1125 shipped!

Welcome! I’ve always had good experiences purchasing from you, as well as knowledgeable staff when I had questions.

Forgot to add- CDS certificate has not been used.

Have an extra Leupold VX6 HD, 2-12 Firedot duplex with Alumina caps and throw lever. Like new with box, etc. Only trade would be same scope with the LR Duplex reticle. $1150 shipped. No electronic payments. Personal check or USPS money order. Can send more pics if desired.

Just wanted to thank JSLR for recommending the GunStix. The attached pic was my first time shooting off the sticks at the range. For some reason, it isn't oriented correctly- the 3 shots are at the top of the 'diamond', not to the side. Anyway, 100 yds., 3 shots. Just finished an oryx hunt...

No specific dates in mind. Just didn't know if you had specific openings for the hunt. Just starting to consider a hunt and will let you know more as things may develop. Thank you for the quick response.

Are there specific dates for this hunt?

Please post pics once it’s built. I’ve been keeping my eyes open for that kind of a build.

I don't know the answer, but for me if my 50 yr. old rifles shoot a 1 inch 3 shot group at 100 yds. I consider it acceptable accuracy.

Glad to see someone is on the ball to help try to prevent scams. Not saying this one is, but the old Reagan saying, 'trust, but verify' rings true!

Provide a phone number for a video call with you holding the gun to show you have it!

One question you're likely to get since it looks like it's a 1966 manufacture date is whether it's been checked for salt wood?

Could you clarify-you say purchased in the 1960 by you. Is it a 1960 gun or did you mean to say sometime in the 1960's? If in the 1960's, could you give the first 3 of the serial number? Thanks.

Want to give many thanks to DLSJR and One Day. Wow, is all I can say. A little backstory-I did a N.M. oryx hunt last year and first thing when I arrived is the guide put my rifle in a 'deathgrip' type tripod. I had never shot off a tripod or sticks before. I tried it and didn't feel very...

TTT one time and then I'll likely mount it if it doesn't sell. Thanks

Thanks for posting chase... Really helps a rookie like myself in my decisions.

Just checked. The CDS coupon has not been used. Also, I did find the original box in my stack of scope boxes!!

Thank You. I didn't realize that. I knew I could call but never got around to it. Will check to confirm either way.

I'm not sure. Bought it from a fellow that had it on his AR-15 and I'm just not a dial up guy.
