    First heavy pack out nightmares

    I ended up getting a duplex light frame from the classifieds on rockslide after Christmas. It fits radically different than the Eberlestock. I can see why the reviews talk about the butpad not slipping down onto the hips. The pack seems to lock into the lumbar area unlike any pack I’ve ever...

    First heavy pack out nightmares

    The main reason I opted for a single trip was two fold first, I didn’t want to cross the river anymore than I had to, and second was I only had two meat bags. I had helped a friend pack out a doe the previous week and used my other game bags for that. I left one in my freezer wrapped around his...

    First heavy pack out nightmares

    Good thoughts I did notice the curvature in the frame stays on the k4 pack frame. My Eberlestock does have some curve to It but not much it’s pretty straight.

    First heavy pack out nightmares

    I really like the looks of the mystery ranch packs they just seem very creative in their design. I also like the price of the MR packs they seem to go for about half of the other big name packs. I like the idea of the pop-up packs because I do mostly day hunts with long walks. However I doubt...

    Dropping weight on a rifle

    My 300 wsm has a 22” proof barrel with ec tuner brake, tikka t3 action, McMillan carbon game hunter stock, and leupold vx3 6-20x50. It weighs in at just under 8lbs total and is a comfortable weight with very manageable recoil. I’m not sure what your chassis weighs my stock is 28oz. The manners...

    Bipod Questions

    The new Gunwerks bipod looks pretty awesome especially for the price and if you are wanting a classy carbon bipod to match your rifle. I have used Harris, Atlas, GGnG and several knockoffs of others. Right now I’m not using a dedicated bipod for hunting I’m using carbon fiber trekking poles...

    Annealing when Changing caliber

    I would anneal the cases. Though I anneal everything now since I got an AMP. It is just another way to make sure consistency is maintained during the reloading process. If you think of it in this way, you are only going to size those cases down one time. They will never have that same stress...

    First heavy pack out nightmares

    I definitely appreciate the use of trekking poles. I take them with me every time I go out. I keep mine strapped to the pack for the walk in and use them on the way out. I also use the wiser precision quick stick picatinny mount to attach to the rifle and use them as a bipod. It worked out great...
