    Ibex Going Out of Business

    If I had to guess why they're going out of business, aside from a cost of production standpoint, is their stuff is a notch more expensive than the other high end wool manufacturers. It's not enough better than Icebreaker and Smartwool to sell product, despite being somewhat better quality IMO...

    First Lite ASAT, good for everything?

    Maybe you're a real dedicated bow hunter and feel that camo is important for your success, but if not I wouldn't limit yourself to a camo action suit. If you do without it, the outerwear world is your oyster. You can pick stuff based primarily on performance alone. I realize that doesn't...

    Wife’s Afognak brown bear 2017

    Very awesome. That feeling of being someplace "prehistoric" is unique, only happens now and again and in very few places.

    Ibex Going Out of Business

    Ibex wool is not cheap, but it's among my very favorite. The Indie Hoodie is just awesome. A lot of stuff is 40% off. I'm bummed they're going away: Ibex Outdoor Clothing - Merino Wool Experts

    Anjan 2 vs Niak

    I bought it in April 2017. I'll try to remember the specifics the best I can...All uses were in WY. I use the standard inner, and have had no issues with condensation over the conditions I've used it in. The catenary cut on the fly that brings up the edges a little makes a huge difference on...

    Synthetic vs dridown

    Couple of things: -Agree that shelter is job #1, sounds like you've got a gameplan there for the future. -It is somewhat of a misnomer that wet down doesn't insulate. Yes it absolutely compresses far more than synthetics when wet, but having soaked a few down items they do still have some...

    Brian Latturner's MONSTER buck

    Not high on mine either, and for the same reason. Was eye rolling the camo only crowd. Heck of a deer, impressive mental game for consistent success like that.

    Rifle choice under $1000

    What is important? It has to go bang every time in every condition. It has to hold zero. The rest is mostly ergonomic preference and fluff. Give me a used stainless Tikka T3 in a Manners stock for that price point, but there are other great options.

    If you're about to buy a 65mm Vortex try this first. Steal on this glass.

    260 Ackley vs 6.5 Creedmoor

    I've had both. I agree the 6.5 Addiction is a more interesting bump up from 6.5C velocity. In your shoes a factory Tikka in 6.5C would be my call. Lapua brass, ELD-M or Scenar, not much to go wrong...

    Kaibab binos: edge-to-edge clarity and color fringing

    Unfortunately the path to optical experience is paved with thousands upon thousands. I would look hard for a handful of online reviewers whose prose you understand, and whose credibility is intact. Short of putting up glass against glass in the same conditions there's no great way to go about...

    Must've been the camo. :rolleyes: Cool deer!

    Wyoming mule deer pointers

    Target pack weight = (How much you can physically carry out if your spot) - (about 65# of boned out meat and antlers) That number or less.

    Black Friday Rifle Scope decision

    As much as I prefer SS for dialing, under 500 I'd stick with a fixed 6x Leupold with LR dots.

    Western Mountaineering Lynx (-10) GWS good enough for Idaho in Oct?

    I've backpacked with my WM Lynx in the fall and winter many times. I've pushed it to its rating inside a tent. If you know what you're doing it's up to the task, ymmv.

    Black Friday Rifle Scope decision

    If you're spinning turrets I'd go SWFA SS no question. All I've had have tracked like a champ.
