    6mm-06 Cartridge Variants

    I am a big fan of the mtn gear bipod. I've used it for a couple years now and have no complaints. Usually carry it on my bino harness. Quick to deploy and pretty rugged and sturdy considering what it weights.

    $1000 Scope recs

    With a pump, you are probably not going to be shooting extreme range. For a basic reliable scope, you can't go wrong with a Burris fullfield 3x9. Pretty economical and would pair up nice on a pump.

    Will Kenetrek Mountain Extremes be too much boot?

    I love mine for general purpose use. For me they are just as comfortable as a more dedicated hiking boot. If they weren't so expensive I would use them as a work boot.

    Boot recommendations needed

    I love the kenetrek mountain extremes 400. I have had no issues whatsoever, and I use them from early to late seasons. They are the first serious hunting boot that I tried, and see no reason to switch to anything else.

    Mounting arca to a factory Tikka

    Salmon River Solutions hunters arca is fantastic on a Tikka. Screws right on the factory swivel and mid screw on t3x stock, or I just drill through and use a nut and washer on the older style stock. Can't recommend them enough. Love their muzzle brakes also.

    I have had excellent results with just the standard Hornady 55 gr. soft point. That is what the kids use in both 223 and 22-250. Very efficient outcomes. My father-in law favored the Sierra 63 gr. smp.
