Rick N. MI Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I haven't used it but I like it. I like that the front has no holes and is light weight. I'll be getting one next spring. My main scoop right now is all stainless steel. 7.5" aluminum V-shaped bucket with 9/16" punched holesAngled back plate40" aluminum handle with foot bracket supportComfortable rubber hand grip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. MI Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 It's interesting that the scoop is aluminum too. I wonder how well that will hold up. Should be very light. I hope it works well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King-Of-Bling Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 I was wondering when someone would post this on ANY forum ! Here you go.... I'm a heavy hitting hunter and tend to abuse my scoops. Don't get any of these without the SS tip or they will wear out fast , unless you are a dry sand hunter. My 1st one lasted less than 6 months and the welds split along the back lip and where the shaft met the bucket. There is some flex because of the width and size , it's big ! This is in heavy larger rocks and concrete like sand. They let me keep this one and sent me a new one , more reinforced. All I paid was $35 in shipping. Meanwhile , I had my broken 1 heavily reinforced by a local welder. Cost me $40. So now I have 2 of these scoops. They are light , big and heavy duty. I also have John's Titanium scoop which is the ultimate water tool in the world ! But , this is about 3x what you pay for the RTG. Now , if I know I'm hunting in a larger rocky area I bring the titanium. But 85% of my hunting is on the slope (softer sand) or hardpack wet sand/water. And I use this RTG scoop at 1/3 the price , so keep that in mind. But the two I now own are beefed up a bit over factory. Again , I beat the hell out of my scoops. The folks at RTG have NEVER failed in taking care of me. Don't be afraid to ask them to customize. They are great ! Just realize how often and hard you are on your scoop when making a decision. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
