Bought a Delta Elite with 6 factory mags for $500 cash just over 30 years ago. Beautiful weapon!
Glad you had a good experience with them. I have purchased 3 from them and the first experience was ok but they were not the best at communicating. Second experience was terrible and again due to their lack of communication. Will never purchase from them again.

Personally, I feel that they grew too fast and just got overwhelmed when I was purchasing my last two. Sounds like they have it under control and I am happy for them and others having a good experience.
A few times. No issues and shipping was relatively quick.

Per your question, this would work. It has NV and thermal. Don’t have one but reviews have been good.

Good luck!

Any of y’all had to deal with anything like this?


Where I live, I am the HOA, so nope, do not deal with this. My nearest neighbor lives almost a mile away, after that, no one for a couple more miles.
A suppressed .22 is way quieter than un suppressed.

However, it will put a smile on your face and make you giggle. It is also really good with new shooters due to noise reduction.

I knew this was coming with thermal scopes.


What I love is all the NV and thermal scopes show deer at night. :lol: The one thing you definitely cannot hunt at night is how most advertise.

23 and still. Flurries last night but the bad weather hits tonight.

In a tripod stand overlooking some game trails and a spot where 2 draws come together. One of the most trafficked spots on our property. Had one blow at me 5 minutes after shooting time but never saw it.

Good luck to everyone!

My backyard in a tripod overlooking some game trails and a nice little draw where they like to move.

29 and still. Temps are dropping but the cold weather hits early next week.

Squirrels everywhere but no deer so far.


Happy New Year and good luck to everyone!

37 and windy as can be. Big cold front blowing in this weekend so hopefully the deer are moving.

Been chasing a really nice buck for 3 years and hoping he stops by to see me. :lol:

Merry Christmas to everyone. Have a blessed day with your family and friends.

Found an ATN X- Sight 4K Pro under the tree! Can’t get home fast enough to introduce it to some coyotes. :lol:

Shocked to receive a Browning Citori this morning! Wow! Not expecting that.

Will do everything you need with a 6,5 Grendel and you can buy ammo with the leftover funds!

Have used an AR in 6.5 Grendel with Hornady SST and killed 2 does; one dropped immediately and one ran 10 yards. Both shots were within 50 yards.

Have used the County Line 25 ton from Tractor Supply for about 8 years now with zero issues. We use a lot of wood to heat our home so it gets used quite a bit and has handled everything we’ve needed. 25 ton should be fine.

It switches to vertical mode and back very easily. One person can do it quickly.

Best attachment we bought was the log catcher that goes on the opposite side of the operator. Saves a ton of extra lifting with the big stuff.

Bought ours on a Black Friday sale for $699!
Picked up one of those a few months ago and so far, it has done well. I am going to replace the plastic grips with some hand made wood ones with wood from our property.

Bought a Stihl MS 290 about 13 years ago and it gets worked constantly. We live on 20+ acres of woods in central MO and heat our home with firewood. So, we cut a lot if wood and there is the general clean up of fallen trees, etc.

Have had no issues with the Stihl.

I had a little Poulan and it did little stuff when we lived in the city but when it died I got the Stihl. It was overkill at the time but is perfect now.
