LMBO, you are most definitely correct! It wouldn't be the first time we saw deer while waterfowl hunting, I was just blinded by the thought of whacking a few geese. Later in the week, we'll give it another go.

A hunting buddy and I were sitting in the bed of my pick-up, glassing a winter wheat field for deer, using binos, and then zooming in with my new 15-45X60 Riton spotter. We didn't see any deer, but we did have about 500 Honkers drop in for a snack. That quickly changed our morning plans from...

The 7 Conquer are made in Japan. We haven't done any tracking tests with this one. I have one on a .308 and it has been very reliable.

I helped a young veteran get his first bolt action rifle rigged up. A Christensen Arms Messa in 6.5 CM topped with a Riton Optics 7 Conquer 3-24X50 scope. He's planning on hunting WY speed goats and mulies next year. When you have been a hunter for a long time and want a rifle and scope that...

I have finally picked up another .308 Win upper and running both for day and night. So much easier.

I know this is blasphemy, especially to my ears, but after buying my lefthanded Hill Country rifle in .300 Win, I could have stopped buying rifles after getting this Thompson Center Icon .308 Win. For almost 20 years, this rifle has shot 4-leaf clover groups at 100 yards with Winchester BST...

Thermal is 6.5CM, the Riton Optics is .308 Win

Hunting coyotes and pigs are two of my favorite things to do with a rifle. A few years ago, I put this pair together to make it easy on me, no matter what I'm after. Heck, even deer hunting I just have to remember a 5-round mag, and all is good. This set-up is a CMMG lower and 2 CMMG uppers. 1...

Very nice rifle! Whatever you do, do not lose the magazine replacements are not hard to find but they are very expensive And you said it right,it is a BLR,!! No joke about the magazines. Funny story, my FIL and I both found 1 on E-Bay and thought we'd buy it for the other for Christmas...

lol, my misunderstanding

Thank you. I always wanted a Savage Model 99 in .243 or .308. When I lived in Maine, a couple of my hunting buddies had them in .300 Savage. I have seen some rebuilt that are absolutely works of art. Awesome how your daughter isn't afraid of getting behind the mighty .300 Win. She probably...

One of my favorite classic hunting rifles. My Father-In-Law stumbled on this rifle decades ago at a garage sale, still wrapped in butcher paper and cosmoline. He picked it up for a few hundred dollars (he gave them more than they asked) and gifted it to me. Little did I know, he did that, so I'd...

So far, I am thoroughly impressed. Glass is very good, the construction is excellent, and it feels like it is built tough. I have yet to extend the range past 100 yards or turn the knobs, but I will once it cools down outside. If you are LE/Mil/First Responder, reach out to black hound, they...

On the advice of a buddy, I just scoped my Surgeon Scalpel with a Blackhound Emerge 3-24X56 Illuminated MOA reticle, and I think I'll be able to wring every millimeter of accuracy out of this .308 Win. I may even consider moving the optic to my Bergara Premier 6.5 CM just to take full advantage...

I feel your pain. I have had two different issues with UPS. Both times guns disappeared. Fortunately, I had someone with me the first time. They helped me box them up and turn them in at the UPS office. The first time, there were two guns, and they cut the top off the box, took out one gun, put...
