They stood upon the cusp of anarchy and stared down the horrors that lurk just beyond the shadows. With steely determination and an unwavering moral code of conduct, they trudged forth into battle with just their tin snips, soldering irons and rivet guns, vowing to never fail a mess kit in need of repair. They are truly the real unsung heroes of this generation of Warfighters... or something like that. 2253

1. If you want to know what it's like with the monocle. Take a toilet paper roll, and some green film, like the saran wrap. Tightly wrap the film on the end of the toilet paper roll, ensure there's no wrinkles. Hold it up to your eye. That's about how it is. Granted you can't do it at night, unless it's a full moon, but it'll simulate the "fun" your eyes will have trying to figure out which eye to trust. 2. That would be the 14s. 2254

Which if you are using them to move through an area, you need to be doing anyway. They aren't the greatest, but they are better than nothing. Some people prefer the 7s' as they don't have to worry about the 14's monocle set up. Some people can't stand having one eye NVG capable and the other normal eye sight, which can give some people bad headaches. EDIT* As for the peripheral vision, just flip those rubber eye pieces back onto themselves. You can then look to the sides. You'll let some green light out, but it won't be much.

I think someone posted it before, but looking at the gate when it's closed and open. To me and my own opinion, I think it'd be nice to have the gate anchored at both ends, and opening in the center. Less weight hanging off the end when it's fully opened, and when stowed the tire will help conceal the lock, hasp or whatever the case may be, that you'll invariably use to secure it when closed. But again that's just my opinion.

Firearms / Re: 2015 Maine Moose Hunt Rifle« on: June 29, 2015, 11:48:36 AM »I am currently looking at the Vortex Viper 3.5x10x50 which I have found costs around 400 dollars. I like the idea of the zoom at 3.5 for close shots in the woods. Many start at 6.5 zoom, are these made for the range? For wooded areas, I like the low power options. In my opinion 3.5 is pretty ideal for close, hurry up shots while hunting. Well 0x would be best, but 3.5x is a good route to take. The 6.5x will work, but depending on how think the trees/brush are where you'd be hunting it could be a limiting factor for those "oh crap it's right there and it's in a perfect spot" type shots. 2283

Firearms / Re: 2015 Maine Moose Hunt Rifle« on: June 25, 2015, 01:39:00 PM »I have also heard that the lighter weight guns can pack quite a punch. It seems with the new composite stocks this is a problem. Do you think the Remington 700 is a good gun for the money? The only one I have ever shot had the extra long HEAVY barrel that was set up for long range shooting, definitely not a good bush gun. You bring up a good point that a used gun may be a better option with my limited budget. I will have to start looking at used firearms in my area. Yea with the composite stocks, and the standard pencil thin barrel you're looking at some hefty recoil, caliber dependent. For the type of hunting you mentioned I think the 700 would be a perfect choice. You can generally find some with 20-24" barrels. For wooded areas I think the 20-22 would be about perfect, but again caliber dependent. As for used guns people buy something use it once, then decided that it isn't what they want, or they want something else, or the other half puts out an executive mandate to get rid of one thing or another, so you can usually find a good deal. How could I not get them both with that discount! Good deal right there. 2288
Firearms / Re: Tikka T3 Lite Bolt Action« on: June 25, 2015, 11:01:39 AM »Because this rifle will be used for hunting I will have to carry it for great distances so weight is going to be a concern. Although most shots while hunting in my area are within 100 yards I would like to be able to accurately shoot out to 300 yds at the range. Tikka T3 Lite Bolt Action Congrats on getting selected to go on the hunt. 15 years is a long time to wait, so good luck. The Tikka is nice, it IS light, so it'll be easy to pack in, around, and out on your hunt. But due to it being light there will be "considerable" recoil if you go with a bigger caliber, such as 7mm Mag or 300 WM, 300 WSM. I've seen people shoot them, and after a couple shots, they are flinching bad due to recoil, but that's probably also just them. As for budget, I'm sure you can find a Remington 700 in 30-06, 7mmMag, 300 WM that includes a scope for sale that will keep you under budget. For scopes, Nikon is a good scope for little money, and for 100-300 yards it would be a good choice. Again the rifle and scope are really dependent on what you can find in your area. Have you checked any of the online places or gun shows to see if you can find a scope or rifle that is lightly used? You might be able to get both plus some extra's for under your budget. Or even some for sale in your surrounding area? I don't think most people wouldn't allow you to test fire a rifle they are trying to sell if you provide the ammo. Others will chime in with more hunting experience than me, but if i was in the same spot right now, I'd buy a Savage model 16 in 300 win mag (approx $700) and a Vortex Viper 3x9 (approx 300)... This is a great suggestion. 2289
