    Review of Zen bivy lite

    I'm a fan as well. I've never slept well in mummy bags (except for my old Montbell super spiral hugger), and, while I enjoy my simpler EE quilt for its weight, nothing beats the Zenbivy for comfort. Best sleep in the backcountry I've had. My 10 degree ZB keeps me warm into the teens with a...

    Lightweight Suppressor Comparison and Poll

    I have one in jail that I'm planning to put on my 300WM once it's free. How is the recoil reduction?

    Suppressor tips?

    Awesome. This is helpful. Thanks for the detailed reply. DD S-TI, TBAC, and Nomad Ti were on my short list for my 300 win mag build. Recoil reduction is probably neck and neck with sound reduction on my decision tree.

    Suppressor tips?

    Late reply, but how do the DD S-TI and TBAC Ultra 7 compare in terms of recoil reduction?

    Can you see the scratches when looking through the rangefinder?

    Meopta Optika5 2-10x42 or SWFA 6x42

    Did you have to raise the scope for the action to clear. (Sorry for the late reply)

    Maven B1.2 vs B.6 / 8X vs 10X

    Thank you! This is an extremely helpful perspective. It seems like 10X is the default for western hunts, but I really like that 8X B1.2

    Maven B1.2 vs B.6 / 8X vs 10X

    I have not in the past, but I recently purchased a lightweight tripod for this purpose and have been testing it out. It's hard to say what percentage I'll use it in the future, but it will probably depend a lot on the hunt (and what magnification binoculars I settle on).

    Maven B1.2 vs B.6 / 8X vs 10X

    I feel like the B2 9 x 45 is definitely up my alley, but I think the size has been a little bit dissuasive. I guess I should have included them in my demo :)

    Maven B1.2 vs B.6 / 8X vs 10X

    They feel really close for sure. I think the 8x just feels a little more crisp to me.

    Maven B1.2 vs B.6 / 8X vs 10X

    This is extremely helpful info. Thank you. I'm still pretty torn, but the 8x42 probably has a slight lead.

    Maven B1.2 vs B.6 / 8X vs 10X

    I'm hoping to go with one all-rounder, but I guess the 8x42 would leave room for a 12x50 down the road :)

    Maven B1.2 vs B.6 / 8X vs 10X

    I'm honing in on my first pair of binoculars. I live in Western CO and have been borrowing some 10x42 Bushnells. I will be using them primarily for elk hunting during rifle season. I have a tripod I could use for longer glassing sessions, but imagine I'll use them handheld much of the time...

    I believe the newer Proton FL no longer has then mesh liner and just has exposed octo loft.
