    Let's see some NRL hunter rifles

    I haven't ever seen one of those in person yet. No my groups don't open up the barrel shoots consistent 4-5 shot fist size groups at 500 yards in the summer so it works from me. I placed 2nd in open light last year with it also. Its threaded 1/2"-28 so just have to have one that fits that is...

    Let's see some NRL hunter rifles

    The chassis works great for hunting and NRL to make light weight has just a little flex when you really flex it is the only thing I've found about them. I have 3 magnesium and an aluminum one now so I like them! Yeah you can definitely add weights to the outside and the inside. I add them to...

    Final Gear List Review for 4th rifle Elk in Colorado

    I've thought about getting some heavier weight base layers to maybe not have to bring extra clothes and to use if it gets really cold like the ones below https://www.meriwoollayers.com/products/mens-250-merino-midweight-half-zip-top What heavy weight ones do you have? What hardshell do you have?

    Final Gear List Review for 4th rifle Elk in Colorado

    I get pretty cold just sitting and glassing is why I have the extra layers. The extra gloves were there for options depending on how cold it was. Yes I have snow skied a bunch of times and my layering system works good for that since I am not sitting for long periods of time. Yeah I like the...

    You can take a leg off your tripod and the lower sections out to save weight too this one went from 40oz to 26oz by doing that.

    Final Gear List Review for 4th rifle Elk in Colorado

    I will most likely do that just is nice to have a hot cup of coffee or tea when your glassing later on in the day. I run OnX on my phone last year and needed the battery pack towards the evening packing out an elk last year in the dark. Wont take the bug spray

    How heavy is your tripod?

    LS-254c on the left 40oz with spiked feet use for my mountain glassing tripod and LS-323c on the right 4.3lbs use for night hunting hogs Work’s perfect standing up and not to heavy to pack around.

    Tripod Options Similar to Slik 624

    LS-254C would be another option little heavy at 40oz but if you remove the lower section it’s 6oz lighter plenty sturdy to shoot off of

    I’ve got a LS-254C right now that I have been testing and going to use to elk hunting in November that I really like and feel comfortable shooting kneeling out to 500 yards on it weights 40oz with spiked feet. I won’t be standing to glass off of so I don’t need the center column that comes with...

    Need opinion on Leofoto LS-324C

    I've collected a few Leofoto tripods over the years one of things that I've learned is each tripod has its advantages and disadvantages. The obvious is the larger tripod you get the heavier its going to be but with that you gain more stability. I am 5' 11" and finding a tall enough tripod to...
