0:00.0	Hey folks, welcome to another episode of Loupold's Hunt Talk Radio.
0:07.6	Sometimes known as Randy Newberg unfiltered, but today I've got a cool guest who has returned.
0:14.6	This time he's on my, my home ground. Last time I was on his home ground.
0:21.3	And we just didn't get to talk enough last time. So he's here in Bozeman. He's helping put on a
0:27.7	very important wildlife conference. And he called me and said, I'm going to be there. And even though
0:33.4	I'm only in town for two days and my wife was kind of looking at me like, what, why aren't we going to dinner tonight?
0:42.1	I said, well, I'll risk marriage and I'll get Jim Heffel finger on the podcast with me.

1:48.2	saw that on my Instagram page. I had a whole shopping cart full of rifles. And I myself and
1:54.6	Marcus, my camera guy, we spent the afternoon mounting new BX5 Loupold scopes on these new
2:01.2	hour rifles. I feel bad to I don't want to make something like I'm rubbing it in and I'm not.
2:10.0	But the idea is to tell people, look, they send us this stuff and say, go use it. Tell us what
2:15.7	works and doesn't work. And when we get back to them, a lot of times they listen and they
2:22.2	want to know, well, why would you use this different combination or this different setup? And so
