I use the always rational and unbiased opinions of the Hunting Net forum.

seriously though, when you weed out some of the most unbendingly brand loyalty, I usually get pretty good info right here.

another thing I do is check product reviews on websites selling the product. For example, if the Cabelas site has more than 25 or so reviews of a product, and it is highly rated, there's a decent chance its all right. Reading the rviews themselves can also give good clues, to see if any feature consistently comes up as good or bad.
