re: Illuminated vs non illuminated scope
Posted by DownshiftAndFloorIt on 9/30/26 at 8:53 pm to LSU Neil
Both scopes in the OP will work great well past legal shooting time. I cant imagine using a 56mm scope.

Trijicon accupoint is an excellent scope but the illumination is a fringe benefit. Theyre very heavy duty scopes with great glass and practical reticles.
An illuminated reticle for deer hunting is something Ive never wanted. I like it for a LPVO since it needs to be able to function as a red dot sight. On a normal deer stand rifle with a SFP scope I wouldnt worry about it one bit.

I know several cowboys who use gas HD trucks and get exceptional longevity out of them. I think the highest one right now is at 450k miles on a 6.2 ford that lives its life with 20k+ behind it.
Diesels cost wayyyyy too much up front and wayyyy too much to operate to make any sense for the extreme majority of private ownership trucks.

My 1994 gmc 1500 would get 21-22 mpg.
34mpg is even unrealistic without a hybrid or small diesel. My diesel jetta only got around 40mpg on an interstate commute.

re: OTB Suppressors
Posted by DownshiftAndFloorIt on 9/28/26 at 8:50 pm to JoeJoeW
I find the standard LTiXC sounds amazing. Id expect the OTB version to be a little noisier since the chamber aft of the muzzle doesnt give the same suppression per inch as baffled stuff in front. Would totally get it for the length savings though.
I have an OCM5 and its my favorite. Pretty specialized but it is an OTB can and it sounds great.

Do it. It isnt far and isn't expensive as far as out of state hunts go.
Load up the tent pick a spot and go for it. Hunting that way is fun as hell

Forever. It isnt likely to happen. They would sell the excess inventory overseas before they allowed prices in the US to come down much. The margins on a vehicle sold in the US are insane.

The people killing premium bucks in arkansas are also on premium land practicing some kind of management.
Its a universal rule everywhere in the world. Rules 1 2 and 3 of having plenty big bucks to shoot at is have non shitty land, have enough of it, dont shoot every buck you see. The shittier the land is, the more of it you need to control your own misery. The seasons being shortened or lengthened or whatever within reason dont affect those people. They have premium acreage and generally a fair bit of it, and they kill huge shite.
shite land timber leases and rice fields in louisiana are never going to produce giant bucks regularly unless you fence it in and manage it like a cattle operation.
Quit trying to regulate the rest of us out of our fun. Not all of us want Louisiana to be some selective trophy buck destination, even though those places already exist. Go to Arkansas if you want to experience that but you should be prepared to be disappointed. They have all the same issues we do.
