Accupoint or s&b

Thanks for the tip. I emailed Trijicon and Kenton and got quicks answers. You can get a different turret from Trijicon, but nothing that locks or has a zero stop. Kenton only has tape for that model, not turrets.

Accupoint or s&b

I’ve also been looking to get an LPVO work for closer, faster shots and also be reliable for 300-500 yds. I like that the Accupoint 1-6 doesn’t need batteries, and I’m ok with SFP because it will live at 1x with adjustments right to 6x for longer shots with more time. I wish it had and exposed...

I brought 60 rounds. Enough for a 10 shot group after we landed, then some more in case I needed to check zero again. I wasn’t planning on the second check, but after some good falls and unrelated frustrations with my shooting, I wanted to double-check the system and my ability. I only hiked...

2023 AK Caribou Hunt prep, lessons learned, and gear

Good points, thank you. With a 30 cal, I’ve never been able to spot my own shots or even keep the animal in the FOV at 9-10X mag. The rifle and scope weigh ~8 lbs, and I don’t grip the fore end on the lite 22” barrel, so lots of muzzle rise. There is definitely plenty of room to improve my...

2023 AK Caribou Hunt prep, lessons learned, and gear

Days 6-7: Day hunting, lots of sitting, lots of miles, new areas explored, no more caribou spotted. We were happy to come home with the two. The rest was uneventful, and getting home day 8 was fine. By day 7, I was also regretting not shooting more of those caribou. We could have stashed the...

Day 5: We wake up a bit worn out from the previous morning's ordeal. All slept warm, dry, without interruption. We all had taken immodium the previous night to minimize the chance of getting up. By the morning, my freeze dried food and protein bars had overwhelmed modern medicine, and I...

Day 4: Wakeup, eat cold granola with powdered milk and freeze dried fruit, water, and bacon. Some others have freeze dried hot food. We secure camp, gear up, and head out for the day. Hiking along a side of the bowl, we see some fresh tracks since the snowfall the previous night. Winds are...

Day 3: Goal was to hike out to different area and setup spike camp to access other areas over three days. About 4 hours transit, clear skies, same temps, less wind. We needed to get up a pass, then run along it's ridge to a higher alpine area. At the pass, we stopped to sit to glass and snack...

2023 AK Caribou Hunt prep, lessons learned, and gear

Plan: Three buddies and I planned a week-long mountain caribou hunt in Alaska. We were in it for the meat and experience. Everybody agreed we'd share the work and split the meat, regardless of who pulled the trigger. Stay in a main camp, combo of day-hunting and spike camp, kill a many as we...
