So I have talked myself into thinking that I need a rangefinder. Who's to argue? Thing is, I like to by the best but can't ever afford it, so instead I settle for buying the best value. I have done a fair amount of research when, low-and-behold, the local store currently has both the...

Hey all, I need to purchase a rifle for my boys who are now of hunting age. I am focusing on a .308 caliber because it would be fine for deer and antelope and could be beefed up a little to work fine for elk also. Here is my question - I have been told that the selection of factory hunting...
