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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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
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...
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...
