I’m just coming in here to say that I fondled @Formidilosus wood Rokstok this evening in a back alley in the sketchy part of Anchorage.. and the only thing I can say is the smell of that gun is heavenly 😍.
The combination of the Maple, Leather and Forms beard oil was intoxicating.
The gun...
I’d love to think that Nightforce would, but I doubt it would achieve the price range that we’re looking for, even if they were up for it.
I’d say it would be a LOW/Kamakura company. Maven seems clueless, despite their success with the 1.2.
The company would have to understand and be on board...
It’s a race to the bottom, or rather a race to cartridges that are larger and larger. Why? Because people suck at shooting, especially a lot of guided clients. You think most of them are shooting 10 round groups, spotting their own impacts and putting hundreds of rounds a year through their...
Like this?
Edit: I know you were being fasecious😅
@mxgsfmdpx and his huge 🫎 from 523 yards with a 22CM & 80 ELD-X.
And my Moose at 525 yards with a 6 CM & 112 Match Burner.
I’d be inclined to recommend a lever action gun in any number of cartridges with the right bullets, from a 30-30 to 45-70. They are compact, fast to operate, easy to sight in as you don’t need a scope on it as you could run open sights or a red dot sight for close range defense. Also, they are...
Exactly. I use several different pieces that utilize Alpha insulation in one form or another. It’s probably my favorite innovation in outdoor wear in the past decade.
I’ve never had to deploy bear spray, but I sometimes bring it while solo hunting here in Alaska. I figure in a surprise situation it could atleast give a quick deterrent to the bear, enough so that I could get my rifle off my pack and ready. Plenty of people have had success with bear spray, so...
Pistol: No. Replace with Bear Spray on bino harness if you feel like you need a quicker option than the rifle for an initial encounter.
Gaiters: No
Merino L/S: No. they are heavy and stay wet if you happen to get it wet. A Farpointe Alpha Hoody is half the weight and much more comfortable to...
As mine as well. I zeroed my rifle recently after swapping out an RS1.2 for an NXS for a moose hunt. Zeroed from the bed of my truck on one day, prone with a bipod. The next I went up to the mountains to shoot and decided to check zero one more time from a more normal field prone position. I was...
I'll say that the UL K4 frame, as pictured in your post, is bomber. I've found no difference in load carrying ability, or durability, between my production K4 and the UL one, though the weight difference is significant.
Bighorn, Moose and Blacktail have all come out so far on mine. Most...
