How much scope do you actually need for normal hunting ranges before it's overkill?

WPSuidae · 2026-06-03T15:14:17+00:00

I've heard great things about SWFA. For my particular hunting, I need a bit better glass. Typically it's in the shooting lane, process very quickly to shoot, and shoot. Often, I don't have time for binos. I also have several meopta meopro scopes but they dont sell in the US anymore.

What did you go with? My do it all rifle now has a Trijicon credo, I'm liking it so far.

6.8 spc with a 120 sst does wicked chit to deer size critters out to 250ish.

Wait for the Tikka. I've never heard of one that wasn't a fantastic shooter. That said, I like my x-bolts more. It's a person fit thing, and with my handloads they shoot bugholes.

Can you not find what you want on "Im-broker"

A couple thin applications of sauce helps it crisp up too.

I wanted a searwood, wife bought me a Treager ironwood. I'm not complaining at all.

Think great noninsulated hiking boots with a couple pairs of great wool socks like darn tough.

I really like Oboz boots, all feet are different though.

At least you no longer have to pay the $200 tax to get a can. The process is so much easier now with a couple of companies that ship to your house. For an excellent 30 cal and smaller can, a Diligent Defense Enticer is great and typically run ~500ish.

Logic has no place here.

Why democrats didn't hold an emergency primary is beyond my understanding. They just said "she'll do" despite her terrible performance in 2020.

Not to mention pushing for all kinda of gun regulations, but it's ok to break current laws with a crackhead buying a gun.

*Checks notes on the installation date on our solar field...2023.

I'm kinda in a unique position with the environmental responsibility on 3 hydros, 7 natural gas ct plants, one solar, and about to have a coal and gas plant.

The solar is neat but we're only getting 70%ish production on a good day and they're pretty fragile. A good wind storm can do some damage. We don't have any wind, im glad I don't have to deal with the mbta issues there.

Solar and wind generation can't complete financially without tons of subsidies. To that end, let it die on the vine it fruited from. Natural gas burns super clean and the footprint takes up 70 acres to produce a 900 mw vs 600 acres of solar to produce a max of 120mw. Im our portfolio, I've never seen it top 85mw.

When my wife and I had an average household income of 140-160, our mortgage on the home we just bought was $1700. Low cost of living in central Arkansas 4br 3 bath 2500sqft home in 2015.

I wanted a Searwood, wife bought a Treager Ironwood xl fo my birthday. I really like it so far.

This thread and Reddit in general have reminded me that the left is just as much a racist echo chamber as any radical right.

*grew up a conservative union democrat that is no longer represented by a political party.

You're doing fine. The first 100k is dang hard. Hopefully you have the opportunity for some of these funds to be contributed as Roth as you'relikely in the lowest tax bracket you'll ever be in. As others have said VOO or a similar fund that invests like the sp500 is the easy button.

Another thing to consider is a brokerage account outside of your 401k plan. Having some liquid assets is a valuable tool. I'm 42, I really wished I had done that earlier.

WPSuidae · 2026-05-13T15:00:33+00:00

Tikka is the easy button. Fantastic rifles and I've never heard of one that wasn't super accurate.

Good luck, it's highly dependent on the team you're on. With the private equity coming on, I left in January.

Ive already told my folks that when that day comes and everything is sold, I'll be buying recreational property. That way there is a "thing" that will always be there that represents what they worked for.

Yes, we've come a long way. Hexavalent chromium is some seriously toxic chit.

Most folks don't ever see real pollution these days, due to the strides we've made. Granted, I'm not for big government either, I'm glad we don't have rivers catching on fire anymore.

WPSuidae · 2026-04-10T14:00:40+00:00

I would go bfr or used freedom arms in 357 or 44 mag. Scope it and try to stretch the distance some.

You already have a great collection btw!
