    Defective Kowa 66a

    Just got a phone call from Kowa. They're shipping a new scope/eye piece to me today. Great customer service experience. Looking forward to glassing for bear dens in a little over a week.

    Defective Kowa 66a

    After much deliberation I pulled the trigger on my first alpha glass. Once I set her up I immediately noticed the speck on the top left corner in the image. It wasn't visible at 25x but as I zoom thru it showed between 40-50 then disappeared again at 60. I inspected surface of eyepiece and...

    Shooting off Aziak Backcountry Lite Tripod?

    Thanks Dave. Think im going to go ahead and give the Aziak a try. Considering how light it is I consider that positive feedback for the Aziak. The tripods main job for me will be holding binos or a spotter.

    Suppressor muzzle device confusion

    It's both can design and personal preference. My nomad 30 is a DT can but has a hub design so I could switch to either a xeno or keymo mount if quick attach is desired. These attachments also lengthen the can to allow the brake/flash hider to fit inside without contacting the baffles. My tbac...

    Savage 110 ultralite elite

    Midwayusa had the UL elite in 308 for $2699 which IMO is really where this gun should be priced at. I put an XLR stock on my 110 UL and changed the crappy bolt handle so I have roughly that much into the gun. One thing I can't do is cut 2" off my barrell like the elite does which as a supressor...

    Shooting off Aziak Backcountry Lite Tripod?

    I've read loads of reviews and it sounds like a great little tripod but I've not seen any firsthand feedback on using the backcountry lite as a shooting platform. So who's tried shooting off of it and what do you think?

    110 ultralite XLR element build

    30-06, yeah not exciting but I bought when there was zero ammo, powder or primers on the shelves so pragmatic me said I need a rifle I can feed. Now I want a 7prc. That said she has served me well and 06 has enough killing power to my max comfortable shooting range for now.

    110 ultralite XLR element build

    Bought my 110 UL 2 years ago and loved the accuracy but it had its issues as we all know. The items I felt most needed addressing on the 110UL was the sloppy magazine fitment, tupperware stock, and T rex arm of a bolt handle. Otherwise a great lightweight gun. I went with an XLR element stock...

    Newb from AK

    Long time searcher but it's time to join the community. Live in the Fairbanks area and got here thanks to the military. 10+ years in AK but mostly fished hard and did some caribou hunting (the easy stuff). Finally getting serious about the mountains, hiking in, and float hunting now and I love it.
