First archery elk hunt.
Awesome bull! Way to go. In my opinion, I think archery hunting elk in the rut is the ultimate of ultimates. It's the only time I've ever gotten buck fever. Kind of hard to control yourself hanging on to a little stick and string when Godzilla is making his way to you through the ferns and... -

6.5 PRC Scope Recommendations
Lastly, almost forgot, or should I say I guess I did forget. I used to pay a lot more attention to scope weight as well. Then I realized, what's the point if it can't be trusted upon to do the job at the moment of truth. While I'm not super crazy about the 35-40oz weight of the 34mm tubes... -

6.5 PRC Scope Recommendations
Hard to argue with swavescatter on this one. You mention the Leupold Mark V, but I would challenge that "n" equals a high enough number to say that its tracking and zero do not compare to Nightforce or some of the others built with similar construction techniques (i.e. Trijicon). Secondly, I'd... -

Separate Layers vs Multiple Function Garments
Exactly what TN2shot07 said. If hunting out west where I could be glassing and sitting in the shade and wind for a while or suddenly hiking straight up a canyon in the sun (never seems to be downward, hmm), the multi-layered approach is definitely preferred. Stand hunting here in TX, the... -

Does this scope exist? Thick reticle, light, dials
I see your point there for sure. However, with a lower power overall at the top in a SFP scope, the reticle subtensions are just tiny and harder to see in general. Something I've considered for myself after a brief conversation with Broz is potentially dialing for both elevation and windage if... -

Does this scope exist? Thick reticle, light, dials
Not sure of the budget, but I wouldn't forget about the Tenmile HX in 3x18x44. A little over 24oz, should be just right, I think. A hair lighter than a really solid NXS (great option too), but capped windage, which you mentioned was important, and the NXS is exposed. -

Scope moving in rings
Not only here, but on other forums too, there are a lot of reports of Talley rings not holding up. Interestingly enough, I think some of the biggest issues aren't even with holding the scope, but rather slipping on the receiver. Nonetheless, I hope you get it solved or change them out to... -

Lucky to be alive! Alaska Elk
Thank goodness you made out fairly well, considering, and glad you're back at it! I remember a similar incident I was in as a late teen, and I've never forgotten it. The extremely large boulder was about 4000-6000 lbs, and I was trying to climb over it directly from underneath it (it really...- mcdil

Ballistic rangefinders
SneakyThunderCat, I think it only does ballistic solutions in the distance-uncompensated mode because it is accounting for everything, to include angle. It needs to know the actual distance for time of flight, wind, etc. Using a compensated distance in that mode doesn't make sense. I'd also...- mcdil
