    Which WM bag for me?

    I’m now following this thread as I’ve gotta get a bag for MT as well this year for rifle elk season in Oct. I’ve been looking at the WM Sequoia MF hard and have also been eyeing the Kifaru Slick Bag as well. I guess I’m hung up on synthetic vs down and leaning towards down because we’re gonna be...

    Rifle for once in a lifetime elk tag!

    I think y’all are narrowing it down for me pretty considerably.

    Rifle for once in a lifetime elk tag!

    My smith shoots F-class open and he shot my RUM @ 1,000 after load development and he put 5 shots in your hand so I have WAY more confidence in that rifle than the 7 mag. I actually missed a couple deer with the 7 mag this year. Granted I wasn’t shooting the load we developed, I shot the test...

    Rifle for once in a lifetime elk tag!

    I’m currently helping a buddy in MT build a custom 300 RUM like I should’ve in the first place with mine. Manners Tactical Shell Stock, Proof Tube, etc. It should be around 8-9 lbs scoped when we get it finished because he’s putting an ATACR on top, BUT it’s gonna be a handful to shoot...

    Rifle for once in a lifetime elk tag!

    The 7 mag is loaded for 168 gr Bergers @ 3090 fps and the 300 RUM is loaded for 200 gr Accubonds @ 3100 fps so yeah I see your point there...

    Rifle for once in a lifetime elk tag!

    This year I was very very lucky to draw a non-resident rifle tag for elk in one of the most coveted units in MT. I have pretty much all my gear covered except which of my custom rifles to take. I have a Borden actioned 7mm Mag with a Leupold VX-6HD 4-24x52mm and custom turret and a Surgeon...

    Where’s the love for KUIU?

    I just ordered and received the KUIU gaiters, both the Scree and Yukon and they look pretty legit. Haven’t had a chance to run em obviously, but they fit great and have some well thought out aspects to em...

    How is the SKRE Gear for anyone who’s tried it out? They have a Father’s Day sale going on currently...

    Where’s the love for KUIU?

    I’ve heard nothing but good things for their gaiters and zip dry and roll top dry bags. I’m a member of Huntin Fool and they have a Father’s Day sale going on so maybe I’ll pick up the Yukon and a Scree gaiters and try em out...

    Where’s the love for KUIU?

    Thanks for the advice. I’ve hunted my entire life but never out West for anything really serious, been to Bozeman twice on some grouse and partridge hunts, little muley action with a buddy. My hunt is from Oct. 20th thru the 28th in Unit 410 Missouri Breaks of MT. I’m a gear freak too as I...

    Where’s the love for KUIU?

    Yeah I’m worried about how it would fit me. I’m 6’0” 235# with a short torso and long legs, which may give me an advantage though with the shorter type jackets and 34” inseams. I’ve always had great success with Sitka Gear so probably don’t need to change. The Timberline pants looks really good...

    Where’s the love for KUIU?

    I had no idea really. I’m new to Rokslide but I’ve been a member of ArcheryTalk and LongRange among others for a long time. I like this forum a lot so far. It’s been very helpful and will continue to be for my upcoming hunt

    Where’s the love for KUIU?

    Haha. I don’t own a single piece of their stuff. Like I said most of my hunting clothing is Sitka Gear in their Whitetail line. I get Sitka at a pretty good discount thru Leo so I’m gonna go that route. I was just asking because I was curious...

    Where’s the love for KUIU?

    This year I drew a once in a lifetime rifle elk tag as a non-resident in my first year putting in (I did take a point last year). Since the draw, I have watched every pack dump, gear review and spoken to numerous experienced backpack hunters and one thing has stands out to me. Very few of them...
