Mine must be archery pig,I only got charged 25....

The ford festiva comparison isn't really a good one.... Vipers vs swaros is more like getting a base model work truck vs a king ranch.yeah the king ranch looks better,drives smoother,performs a little better.but the work truck is still a solid truck that I should be able to get the job done with just fine.

Congrats,that didn't take long,you've had a productive morning!

I have a diamondback 4-12x scope and its better then any other scope I've used in that price range by a big margain.I only shoot out to about 300, but its been great.excellent value. I also have a pair of the viper HDS in 12x50 and I love them.yeah they're a notch down from swaros and other high end glass, but they're still great. If you can't find game with the vipers,getting swaros isn't gonna help,its you not the glass that's the problem.

Bingo

They were rutting when I arrowed my buck last year the last week of December,and I saw obvious rut behavior through the 3rd week of january

Amazing story

I never have,but what kind of effective range do you get with a flintlock?

Nice buck,congrats

Very nice buck congrats

Wow that's a great buck

There was a guy who posted on here yesterday saying he lost his pack,don't remember what unit and can't seem to find it again....

I'd have to agree with coach on the .300 win mag for that range of species. My opinion is that its a little bit heavy for a coues(but acceptable), but the 300 would definitely be a better choice for elk and certainly for moose. As far as the rifle if it was me,and my budget level, I'd simply get a savage 110 or Remington 700, throw on a decent 4-12x scope and call it good.it would be relatively inexpensive yet great rifle that should be just fine to 400 plus yards no problem,which is further then I like to shoot anyways(thanks a lot bow hunting). I'm sure there are better setups,but none that are more proven for a simple guy on a budget.

That's a coues?! That thing looks twice as big bodied as any coues I've ever seen.congrats

Holy smokes!...

That's a nice one

Finally a success picture! Congrats

I'm looking for advice on what tripod to buy,I just recently upgraded binos and its time to ditch the old slik. Im looking to get something I can use standing(I'm 6'2") or sitting.I'd like to keep it around $200 or less,with a pan head,and not too heavy because I will be packing it. I know this it the place to ask,thanks for any input guys

Cool I'll check it out,thanks!

I have to wait 7 weeks for mine and I'm chomping at the bit! Good luck to everybody,leave at least a couple in 33 for us to chase

I think the pictures do him justice.... Nice buck

It was hilarious, she had the butt of her 30-06 tucked under her armpit and her face about 3" behind the scope.You can imagine what happened next.... It was on her husband for not correcting her

That second one is the most incredible Coues I've ever seen,period.wow!

I love my vipers,and they blow the ed3s outta the water in my opinion

No worries Willie I figured you misread it by your response. It happens. I get stressed that someone's gonna be in 'my' spot in wide open Arizona public land,I can't imagine the stress back east.I'm sure they're good at what they do its just very different.
