I know it is not the same model, butI have used a Nikon Prostaff 550 for four or so years. Works well, I have only used it out to about 400 yards, but it has been dead on every time I have checked it. Good battery life, and no reason to complain. Overall, I have been very pleased with Nikon...

I disagree about not getting the almighty smoke ring with electric. I consistently get a nice smoke ring on brisket using my electric. And besides, unless you are cooking in competition, which I sometimes do, who cares if there is a smoke ring or not? Granted, it is visually appealing, but...

Fireman, I understand what you are saying. But, in my opinion, you have mingled two totally different types of food prep using smoke. You mention smoked salmon, jerky, cold smoked cheese, and that old fashioned smokehouses weren't sealed. This is true, as they were intended to smoke food as a...

My favorite knife was a Case Arapaho. It was given to me new, by my father, in the early 80's. A few years ago, it simply disappeared. I remember using it to skin a hog, and it has never been seen again. I guess I left it on the bumper of my truck, and drove off with it there. That's the...

All I can say is "You ain't gonna find him sitting on the couch!"

Remington 700 in .270 Win. Still have the same rifle, and killed a management doe two a few days ago with it.
