andyyy

Zeiss v6 or even v4. I have both and both track very well. If I lost one I would replace with same scope. I had chewed on getting a used NF but Zeiss seemed better for hunting. Cheaper and lighter

Thinking of getting a vikingn or pioneer, have some reservations and want to hear your experiences Seems worth it just in terms of not getting stuck anymore and wear and tear on the truck. However, need a trailer for it. I have a 6.5x12 trailer, so that's not an issue. But do you find that the trailer limits you too much? A lot of roads you can pull off and unload the SXS pretty early, but do you frequently get stuck and unable to turn around? I have never pulled a trailer around the woods/desert and am not particularly good at driving a trailer but figure that is fixed by practice. Do you feel like it's just more of a hassle than a benefit out in AZ? Seems like the price on used buggies has fallen a lot now; they seem to sell for around NADA/KBB. Does that align with what others are seeing, too? And lastly, insurance and cost of ownership; how much are you guys paying a year to keep these things?

I have had a lot of vortex Scopes all over the price ranges (crossfire, viper, and razor) and don't think I would buy again. Their binos are good though, for the money I think they're good value. But the scopes I had were subpar for their price ranges.

That's a fantastic point I didn't think about. Also means no truck topper (or deal with taking it on and off). Thanks for the input

Any input on if the pioneer 500 is capable enough for our AZ """roads""" out in the bush? I see most of you guys have the big machines, a small little buggy seems pretty appealing to me though. Less to pull around and just handy looking

Interesting, and another point for the pioneers. Looks like all of them have automotive style transmissions

Thanks for the input. I wasn't initially looking on input on specific models but that's two people who have said the pioneer is better than the Viking! I test drove a Viking this weekend and it was insanely loud (at least in the cab). Good to know about it bottoming out as well. Thinking harder of pioneer 700 or even pioneer 500 (could use my smaller trailer or even an 8ft truck bed)

Last I heard there's a storm this whole weekend, coming in the evenings

Good deal. Got one of those stocks for a different action. Fantastic furniture, feels good shooting with it

Thanks for the input guys; definitely what I was looking for (whether guys that pulled the trigger regret it or not). Been thinking of getting one for a while now (every time I go calling or scouting, I wish I wasn't beating the vehicle I need to get me home up so much!), Was waiting for used prices to be more reasonable though. They're at the point where I'm ready to just buy now rather than wait. It would be a cash purchase with disposable income, so I'm not worried about having to sell it anytime soon. Dirt roads only, I live in Phoenix so no reason to take it around on pavement, hunting areas are too far. Awesome to see the coverage for that kind of use is so cheap! Trailer for sure, I don't think I'd get a flat bed just for this. I have very little experience driving with one, so I think most of my apprehension is just from a lack of experience behind the wheel

I'll take it, pm sent with contact info

You could reach out the raptor association folks, they are at 43rd and camelback and more around the state I think They rehab and release injured birds but I bet they would point you in the right direction to get into it; you need to be mentored for years ( I think 2 years) before you can have your own https://arizonaraptorcenter.org/

Before pulling the trigger on a new one I wanted to check if anyone is upgrading to a sxs or otherwise selling a quad. Looking for something >400cc, fuel injected, 4x4, preferably with independent rear suspension and preferably Japanese. No Polaris, In Phoenix but will drive for the right quad.

Anyone got any recs

196 lotto tickets/ coin tosses 😜 Just kidding, stay safe yall

One hit for 45$ and another for 30$. Crane and deer?

Looking to get an ATV and getting the trailer sorted out first. I figured I'd post here incase someone upgraded to a UTV and has a smaller trailer they're trying to sell, before I buy a brand new one. Let me know what you've got- basic or pimped out, interested in either Located in the Valley Best, Andy

Didn't see this, sent you a text now though

+1 adjustable gas block, it's worth putting on every ar15 that you suppress, if you want it to run optimally

If this litter came out 3 months from now I'd be right on over. Good luck, hope they get good homes!

Great deal for someone needing a caller. That remote is the real value.

Great condition, some little nicks from rubbing on other scopes/ARs in the safe but overall very good. Was on a range gun, didn't see any field time. I guess even if it was bad condition, if you throw it off a building and send it to vortex they'll get you a new one 😂 It's got a duplex (they call it "V-plex") reticle. $SOLD pick up in PHX 12th and Camelback or $SOLD Shipped and insured

Thanks Don! Hope you're making good use of those interlocks 😃 Sold, paid for, and shipped.

Bump

They've been doing field days again
