    Want To Buy Bushnell elites

    Too bad you are not in the market for a 4.5 - 18 x 44 Elite LRTS with illuminated G3 reticle. I'm pretty sure I'm selling it for a BURRIS Eliminator 6. But I may hold on to it if I get a tag in a state that prohibits all the bells and whistles teh "6" has. That scope is amazing with...

    Well I did it.

    My E-Cells Super Monarch Crown is a beast at 95 pounds. Two wheel drive, 2 batteries, dual suspension and good quality components. It is rated to carry 400 pounds, not including bike weight but including rider, gear and boned-out big game meat. With 4.25" wide VEE Bulldozer tires it is good on...

    BURRIS Eliminator 6 WOW!

    Well Bucky, I'm 81 and likely will get a "6". I find it easy to program on the phone app and very easy to use - far better than messing around with a KESTREL 5700 Elite weather meter/ballistic engine and a pair of laser range finding binoculars. Can you make a 400 -600 yard shots while...

    My second Leupold spotting scope to break

    I have the original Leupold spotter. Bought it in the 1980s and it has always held up. It's fallen off shooting benches (in an FDE Cordura cover), been rained on for hours and seen accidental storage in my car at well over 100 F. but still soldiers on. Some militaries use this scope for spotting...

    BURRIS Eliminator 6 WOW!

    My take on state game commissions/departments banning scopes that can give firing solutions via an on board ballistic engine is: "What is wrong with giving the game a greater chance of a quick death as opposed to being gut or leg shot with a standard scope and wandering for days before dying and...

    Burris Veracity PH

    As for the PH reticle, IMHO if it ain't a "Christmas tree" reticle with wind hold dots I ain't using it. My target scope has an H39 reticle (big Xmas tree) and I need those wind holds to use instead of taking the time dialing when shooting time is very limited in competition. This is also often...

    Best 1” rifle scope under $1,000 with 12-16x top end recommendations

    I'd say my Bushnell Elite LRTS 4.5 - 18 x 44 with illuminated G3 reticle is in that ballpark, barely, at the $980. original "sale" price. I'm selling it this summer for $600. A very good scope that is perfect for long range hunting. It will come in the original box. I'm selling it to get a...

    BURRIS Eliminator 6 WOW!

    Hey, the reticle is still there if the battery dies. Then you use yer drop tables pasted inside yer objective lens cover - right? And you DO have a laser ranging binocular too, hmmm? Remember, yer pick-emup truck runs on a "fair weather" battery too. Batteries are here to stay. Carry an extra...

    My Three Year Research Results: Best Electric Bike

    My E-CELLS Super Monarch Dual Crown weighs 95 pounds, 75# with the batteries off for transport on my bike rack. Yeah, a "beast" but it can haul 400 pounds (including rider and gear weight). I weigh 190 and haul about 25 pounds of gear including my rifle. so that leaves me with about 85 pounds of...

    Long Range Reticle Thread

    Unless your long range reticle has some type of "Christmas tree" setup for wind holds it is, IMHO, NOT a long range reticle. My current Bushnell Elite 4.5 - 18 x 44 scope has a G3 reticle which is small enough for hunting but gives you the needed holds for wind. NO GUESSING where to hold and NO...

    BURRIS Eliminator 6 WOW!

    Just saw all the YouTube posts on the Eliminator 6 and I just may sell my Bushnell Elite scope and get this pricey but amazing scope. It now locks like a "normal" scope. It is 4 - 20 X 51 mm objective and uses 34 mm rings. The "6" has every sensor on it necessary for a very accurate long range...

    Len's 463 Mile E-bike trip in hills of SW Wisconsin

    Good on ya Len. Good to see you like e-bikes. You can tell Len is a photographer at heart and knows his way around a camera.. Even my avatar was taken by Len on our GC backpack.

    My Three Year Research Results: Best Electric Bike

    "Must be Mid-drive"... Mid drive means rear wheel drive only. And mid drives put a lot of strain on the chain. If my 2 wheel hub drive bike's chain breaks on the way back to camp at dusk I can still ride it back and fix it at my leisure "Because hub drive".
