Re: Violent gangs of minority youth at Az Mills (video)

The labeling of the video is infuriating. No evidence of their "racism". Comments closed, and you just know there's many lemmings that will watch that and without question, analysis or a critical eye just believe those two had it coming because they must actually be "racist". As ...

Re: Hunting AZ, typical shot range and Leupold VX- 2 3x9

Grabbed a pair of Viper HDs in 10x42 and a chest rig for them for $375. So that will be a good starting point I hope. I'll grab some higher magnification Swaros or something in a few if the kids are enjoying scouting and glassing in general and shooting coyotes.

Thanks for all the help.

Re: Hunting AZ, typical shot range and Leupold VX- 2 3x9

I understand what you're both saying. The need for two rifles could happen but isn't likely. I wasn't considering a second for that purpose so much as wondering if a .243 or even .22-250 or similar worry make a better varmint/target gun for the boys. Anyways, I'm finding lighty used Vortex Viper HDs...

Re: Hunting AZ, typical shot range and Leupold VX- 2 3x9

Helpful stuff guys. Cost is always a consideration, it's a matter of being sure we're committed (and at what level) and then pacing myself. I've got four sons, and we (wife included) mountain bike, BMX, ride dirt bikes, and do the grappling/kick boxing thing. So our hobbies are expensive already, an...

Re: Hunting AZ, typical shot range and Leupold VX- 2 3x9

Finding Vortex Diamond HDs 15x56 in the $300-400 range. Viper 12x50 for $500ish. Saw kiababs for $700, but they went quick.

Tripod suggestions? Sorry for the inane questions, trying to shorten my research and learning curve.

Re: Hunting AZ, typical shot range and Leupold VX- 2 3x9

Hot damn a nice pair of binos are expensive. I found some swarovski demos on a few sights for a reduced amount, but they're still spendy. Can something like a Vortex set get the job done reasonably? It seems like most people feel the substantive difference between something like Vortext and the Swar...

Re: Hunting AZ, typical shot range and Leupold VX- 2 3x9

Good info and suggestions, thanks everyone. So what magnification range are we talking for binoculars? Any specific features that are essential? And with regards to tripod, we're talking tripods mounted to the forend of the stalk, correct?

Re: Hunting AZ, typical shot range and Leupold VX- 2 3x9

Good info guys. I guess I should have pointed out, the scope is mated to a rifle chambered in 7mm-08. A round I used for both deer and Elk as a kid. Had 7mm mag for east side (more open range) hunting.

Hunting AZ, typical shot range and Leupold VX- 2 3x9

Hey everyone, I recently bought a rifle that came with a Leupold VX-2 3-9x50mm. Never used one before, and as I've said in other posts, haven't hunted AZ yet (been here 13 years now, just haven't really hunted since getting married and having kids). Anyways, it seems like a good scope,I'd hunt with ...

Re: Preferred hunting rifle for under $600

I was under the impression the Ruger American was not a fully floated barrel? The Tikkas are nice for the price for sure. I'm also really interested in the T/C venture. Awesome warranty, MOA guarantee, and made in America. Looks like a lot of rifle for the price. If the need for a magnum isn't prese...

These were mecgar mags for the M&P 2.0c (I'm trying to buy one to compliment my shield) I think they were 17 round mags.

Mecgar mags are generally pretty good right? Seems they make mags for a lot of the gun companies.

Re: M&P Shield Magazines

Some good prices on those sites. 1.0 and 2.0 mags are interchangeable between both pistols, correct?
