Yes sans rifle and bino/harness. Rifle is a modified (slightly modified) Kimber Hunter, scope is a Trijicon Accupoint.
It's a Seek Outside frame w/ their new day pack—the Silverton.
Even though I'm just a fictional character (AI generated?), I'll "weigh in" anyways :ROFLMAO:
Here's my early season day hunt setup, based on temps down to freezing or a bit below and also a very low chance of precip (hence my choice of rain gear, if that probability goes up, I add full on rain...
Yesterday morning got a short walk in with my wife and Tiny Elvis (3 miles) and then decided to head up the mountain and look for elk. I'm here to tell you that trudging through 8-12" of snow is a LOT different than covering the same country without snow! 8-ish miles w/ 1500'-ish climbing.
How about their (Spartan) Springbok?
It's pretty light, uses the same attachment point and can be used as a short or long bipod—haven't seen much written about it, but it caught my eye.
While not purposely designed for shooting off, I've had good luck w/ the tripod alone for 300-ish yard shots; if you "built" a solid rear rest (pack) cable of longer
@Ucsdryder I've never thought about about bipod + tripod + rear rest—but I have now :D
Yeah I found the Aoka simply too short, even with an aftermarket short extension; the extension it comes with I found too unstable.
The Aziak with a Spartan head has worked well for me.
Our range has several separate ranges, one being a 200-500 yard range. There are seven lanes, each with a cement bench. Last year getting ready for my sheep hunt I spent several weeks at that range.
Everyone I saw there was shooting from the benches. I was getting some strange looks as I was...
