Plastic/double boots
The Civettas, much like the Alpha Ice boot, are definitely lower profile and less blocky. -

Plastic/double boots
It isn't that they are no good, it is that there are better options out there. The choice isn't plastic double boot vs. single leather. A wide range of synthetic and hybrid options exist depending on your intended application. It is obvious that the old-schoolers who have been using... -
Hunting - Powder Recommendation
Got it. I am at, or even slightly above the max load based on Hornady’s recommendations on most everything I’m reloading, so this seems like something I need to tune in to. Much appreciated. -
Hunting - Powder Recommendation
Tell me more about this mixed brass issue. I’ve been using mixed batches of once-fired brass and haven’t noticed and significant issues re: pressure, mv, POI shifts etc. Not for the .300wm, mainly 6.5cm, .308, and .223. -
Hunting - Powder Recommendation
I use IMR4831 and H4831SC for the 200gr eld-x in my .300wm. Seems to work just fine for me. Out of a Tikka t3 superlight with 24" barrel my MV is 2848fps with 71.4 grains. This matches the MV that I was getting with the factory Precision Hunter rounds, which was my goal in putting the load... -
Plastic/double boots
I need a ton of ankle support as well having blown out all tendons and ligaments in one of my ankles playing sports as a young lad. I have zero lateral support on my left and I I look at it crooked it rolls. This is the primary reason I use mountaineering boots for sheep hunting when a more... -
Alaska Sheep Hunt Pricing
Sorry that was unclear. I'll try again. It seems to me you are committed to giving your best effort regardless of what you get paid. That is noble. I think your compensation should be tied to your best effort and good decision making. Your past results speak for themselves, and as such... -
Alaska Sheep Hunt Pricing
This. I would assume that YOU don't feel that YOU need additional skin the game to offer the client your best effort and a quality trip, so it seems to me that some of what you are proposing would be more applicable to the industry as a whole instead of needing to incentivize yourself to give... -
Plastic/double boots
I would think so. The tolerances between the shell and liner of the more modern double boots are less than the old plastics, and so the fit would be tighter, but there should be room to slip that relatively thin liner/vbl in between. Personally though I either barefoot it or take a pair of... -
Plastic/double boots
Bingo. There is a long list of reasons plastics either aren't being made anymore, are hard to find, or as the OP said, the market seems to have dried up. Waaaay better technology has existed for a long time and are there are no upsides or advantages to a double plastic when compared to more... -
Plastic/double boots
If you are attracted by the idea of a double boot, the Phantoms mentioned above as well as Sportiva’s G2 and Spantik are far superior to plastics for fit and function in mountainous terrain. The liners are top shelf and no need to upgrade to an Intuition in either case. I live and worked in... -
Plastic/double boots
Plastic double boots are old technology in the mountaineering world, and never really should have had a place in the sheep hunting world, in my opinion. Plastic boots, generally speaking, were created for walking on snow for long periods of time. Most sheep hunts, dare I say all, don’t require... -
Wading boots for AK float
Good point. The simms alumabite are boat and raft floor friendly. The tungsten/carbide versions…not so much. -
Wading boots for AK float
Simms G3 or G4 boots and G3 wader pants. I’ve been using this setup for hunting swamp donkeys for 15+ years and don’t foresee changing it up anytime soon. I’m perfectly comfortable hiking/packing a few miles in this setup. Most of Simms vibram soled boots can be resoled if you wear them out... -
Favorite Sheep Caliber
That would do the trick. I went with .308 because I had 600-ish pieces of once fired brass and all the components to reload on-hand. If starting from scratch, the 7PRC would be a great choice for one rifle to do it all. -
Favorite Sheep Caliber
In my opinion the best rifle for Dall Sheep hunting in AK is the lightest rifle you can find chambered in the smallest caliber that you'd feel comfortable trying to stop a brown bear with. I've killed sheep with a .30-06, .300wm and 6.5cm and they all died quickly. I've seen a handful of... -
