    T3x Lite vs all other Tikka models - Practically speaking

    I agree with others that getting stainless, cerakote, barrel contour and length and threaded barrel can be worth the upgrade if you happen to find exactly what you're looking for. Their stocks are not for me. I wish they sold barreled actions with lots of barrel lengths and contours to choose...

    Keeping Meat good During September Archery Elk Hunt

    Please elaborate on proper game bags? I've been using a couple varieties but it has been cool and flies haven't been much of an issue

    Trying to build out G20 gen 5 everything rig. Razco?

    I'm interested in this question too. I just ordered a safariland drop leg holster (21 day wait). I went with that option for the ALS system's strong retention. I've carried a chest rig for a while but it is a bit crowded and cumbersome with binos especially when layering clothing. Going to...

    R Value quantifiably impactful...w/out bag upgrade???

    I use a neoair xterm and rei magma 15. That combo is comfortable 0 to 40. Any warmer and I have to completely unzip the bag. After getting an insulated pad I think it is essential

    Thru hike: trail runners or boots

    How long are you gonna be out there? The 5 day forecast looks sunny and warm. Wear the Hokas, bring extra dry socks, and make great time! (I hang wet socks outside my pack during the day and they dry quickly with this type of forecast). Also . . . Lukotape or the 3m knockoff is your friend...

    Any Bracco Italiano Owners?

    tam where are you located? I found a Bracco breeder here in central KY. Nosam Kennels. They have a website with decent info and a newsletter. I will be contacting them for more info if I decide to go with a Bracco.

    FNG from Hoosier town

    I'm from Kentucky and I'm just a few years ahead of you. I've been on three western hunts now. My advice: go ahead and apply for your dream hunt but don't wait for it. Find a hunt you can do now. It might be a state or species that isn't your first choice, but just do it so you can get out...

    Fitted Shotguns

    Jason and MacIntosh, thank you for the links. I'm still curious, what gun modifications have benefited you? Or have you found that proper training and factory standard gun stocks are perfect for you?

    Fitted Shotguns

    And by the way, I learned how to shoot trap, which would explain the lack of emphasis on gun mount.

    Fitted Shotguns

    Macintosh, thank you for your input. I will look for an NSCA coach in my area (central KY). Meanwhile, can you point me towards resources for developing a polished, repeatable mount?

    Fitted Shotguns

    Gotcha. Thanks! I'm glad the kick Eez cheek pad helped. I see they sell them in four different thicknesses and they look more ergonomic than the Beartooth pad I tried

    Fitted Shotguns

    I'm missing something. What is a superposed? And did you add a butt pad or a pad over the comb? Any advice on where to go? Are there organizations or training methods that you recommend? I learned to shoot years ago at a sportsman club with NRA certified instructors but they never discussed...

    Fitted Shotguns

    I just read this article about how shotguns should be tailored rather than one-size-fits-most. Makes total sense to me. Anybody done it? How have you fitted a bird gun to yourself? What did you learn? After a little research, here are the options I'm aware of from least to most expensive...

    SFP is BETTER than FFP for LR Hunting... Change My Mind

    Ffp and mil provide many advantages to the long range shooter. That being said, quality glass and lots of practice are more important. You can be extremely deadly at any distance with either. I shoot a Zeiss 4-16x SFP scope on my do-all big game rifle (KY, MI, AZ, WY, . . .) I love the...

    Stabiliser setups - pros and cons of quivalizer and rear stab vs front and rear bar with bow quiver

    It is lighter than two stabilizers and a quiver. And its form factor is surprisingly ergonomic in actual use (nothing at all on the right side of the bow and it just balances so well in hand). Anyway, it works for me
