    Weatherby Backcountry TI

    My 9 lug TI will have a VX5HD 3x15 and the 6 lug Steel will have aVX3HD 3.5x10. I planned on mounting the scopes today and getting true weights put a surprise snow storm meant I was plowing instead of mounting today….maybe tomorrow.

    6.5 RPM experience?

    I just picked up a Backcountry in 6.5RPM yesterday. I am planning on starting out with the 140gr Accubond over N570, and if that doesn’t work RE33 or Retumbo. I will hopefully know more in a few weeks

    Weatherby Backcountry TI

    I just picked up a Backcountry Ti in 6.5-300 and standard Backcountry in 6.5RPM yesterday. I need to get them scoped up and start on loads for them. After restocking my Ultra light 6.5-300 and getting it down to 7lbs 9 oz with scope I figured the Ti Backcountry should get me well below the 7lb...

    4.9# Weatherby

    That is probably true of the recoil pads with the webbing that come on the factory Weatherby stocks, but the AG composite after market stock comes with a Decelerator pad. Although AG makes the stock for Weatherby there must be something proprietary about the pad since it isn’t on the after...

    4.9# Weatherby

    Yes, I called in my order back in March. It took about 14 weeks to receive mine but it was definitely worth the wait. Had it customized to a 12.5 inch LOP

    4.9# Weatherby

    Not exactly a 4.9 lb Weatherby in a 6.5 caliber but a definite improvement over my original 6.5-300 Ultralite setup. I restocked my factory Ultralite, which came in at 8lbs 8oz with this same scope setup, with a new AG composites stock. The factory stock weighed in at 35oz and the new...

    Brown bear advice?

    Thanks….That’s what I heard so when Taj told me he had an opening for 2023 I jumped at the opportunity. Both my Canadian sheep hunts are postponed until ?????, so Brown Bear in Alaska is something I always wanted to do.

    Added Fat

    For over 40 years we butchered all our own deer and have all the equipment to do it. I come from a long family of butchers. Now that I am older I am the only one of the family left so rather than have all the work I have started to use the help of a full time local butcher shop. They are the...

    Comfort Sheep Hunting Items

    Anyone ever try SoapCloth? They are soap impregnated dry wash cloths....just add an ounce of water. I saw these a while back and bought a pack for an upcoming sheep hunt. I saw many guys listed wet wipes on their packing list and figured with all the water around where I’m going why not try...

    Spartan Valhalla Bipod Review ***Updated 1/13/21***

    Thats exactly how I figured it and it does work. Cant is a little tight but it does attach and you can still use the original Bipod/Tripod socket on the pic rail adapter. Does Spartan still make this adapter?

    Spartan Valhalla Bipod Review ***Updated 1/13/21***

    it appears your rifle has a piece of Pic Rail attached under the fore end or am I missing something. I have several Remington 40x’s with only a single sling stud and space for an Anschutz style rail. Doesn’t the spigot require a pic rail to clamp on to? I’m at work so I can’t check any of...

    Spartan Valhalla Bipod Review ***Updated 1/13/21***

    I picked up a Valhalla to use on an AR10 platform and was thinking this bipod would be great for one of my heavier varmint rifles if there was a way to attach it. I did buy some of your picatinny adapters when you had those for sale a year or so ago which attached to varmint style stocks that...

    Odds my July NWT dall hunt happens?

    I’m in the same situation as you and have the same thoughts. Even if the outfitters can hold on how will the hunts be run with a backlog of hunters for 2 years. I guess only time will tell and we will have to wait and see.

    Concerns flying with guns under todays political climate

    I thank everyone for the input. This statement about the TSA seems to sum it all up. I haven’t flown with guns since 9/11 and prior to that the problems I ran into were a result of poor policy and no real recourse for dealing with difficult airline personel. With the advent of TSA and...

    Concerns flying with guns under todays political climate

    Some good input here. For the record my incident was pre 2001 so there was no TSA and everything was “at the discretion” of the agent. So with TSA rules things may have actually gotten better. I was using a Kalispell Aluminum double rifle case with their black canvas cover and is probably...

    Concerns flying with guns under todays political climate

    I was wondering if anyone out there is having concerns about flying with guns under todays political climate and cancel culture; I certainly am because it happened to me in the past. I used to fly on 2 to 3 hunting trips a year from the mid 80’s until about 2000. Then family and work took...
