The 6.5G is a lightweight 20" barrel Howa, shooting 120 Fusions, no brake/suppressor. The suppressor does reduce recoil on the 308, someone more knowledgeable than I am can guess how much. The 308 is a Barrett 18", so it's quite light also. He's very comfortable shooting it. The sound signature...
My 12 y/o son has killed two bucks this year with a suppressed 18" 308, Nomad Ti. He feels that this recoils less than the 6.5 G bolt action he'd hunted with the past 3 years. I don't think that I'd hesitate on anything in NA with that combo and the right bullet.
I agree with the suppressed 22...
Howdy all
Looking for a Kifaru Doorgunner to buy. Prefer multicam but other colors considered. Would only be interested in the belt if small or medium.
Appreciate it!

These are nice sheaths and a great upgrade, just make sure you order for the correct Steep Country. This link is to the older version
Have you thought about a TC Encore. Could take it down into two parts if needed, but it’s overall shorter than a bolt action due to the single shot action. Could also change caliber depending on what hunting season it is.
The summit day had snow, I can't recollect the depth, but I'm sure I was wearing Vasque Sundowners and gaiters.
You'll generate a lot of heat climbing and I think that I was mainly in a long sleeve T shirt while climbing and then would put on a puffy coat if not moving. I also had a rain jacket...
I should have said discount code in my above post. I think it’s been in the 5-10% range, I know I usually get one in the Black Friday range of the calendar and seems like I got another discount code this past spring or early summer. Great gear, I have a few of their pieces
