    Single man shelters

    The Big Agnes Fly Creek HV UL2 is under two pounds and freestanding. Compare that to the 1-person Big Agnes Copper Spur you listed above, which is 2 lb 6oz. Hard to beat if you are prioritizing weight-to-space and packability over durability, warmth, etc.

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    Very cool. Those old stacked leather handled knives are pretty neat and have good steel; bet it holds a nice edge. The Marbles knife in my profile pic was a gift to my son from his great uncle. Not ultralight, but as you say sentimental and was worth enough to haul up to the alpine after goats...

    Is that a Marbles knife?

    Best sub 7 inch supressor for 300 win mag

    I wonder if they would be able to keep that structure and suppression level with a titanium can to bring that weight down, even if it meant a $200-300 increase. Looks like suppressor innovation is happening fast right now.

    Best sub 7 inch supressor for 300 win mag

    Under 7", but it's also 16oz compared to the Nomad Ti's 10oz.

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    What sort of improvements do you see making this kind of switch? Noticeable changes in group size and fewer fliers, or just easier to work, or more total reloads on each piece? Less trimming due to less brass stretching (I trim before it gets hard to chamber rounds)? Wondering if this is...

    LPVO on bolt rifle ?

    I recall you had one for sale recently (I passed on it because I'm thinking of one with an exposed elevation turret). Would you mind sharing your reluctance on the reticle? My only initial concern with that one is the large size of the center dot, but otherwise wondering if there are other...

    Question for Kuiu users

    That makes sense. For the top forks to come off, that also requires loosening or unbuckling of the bottom straps first so that the pack can slide up and off of the frame. If you unbuckle those bottom straps in preparation for load configuration, then that is also what gives you the space to...

    Question for Kuiu users

    Depending on the load, I might have it hooked or unhooked. After playing around with it a bit, I found I don't have any trouble hooking and unhooking it. Assuming yours is the same as mine, I pull it taut, pinch the middle of the loop for clearance, and slide out the hook. I can do this fine...

    Nice! In which country was this?

    Any place with factory Tikka T3x 6.5CM barrels in stock?

    I see they are listed out of stock at jaoutdoors.com (but when in stock, they are Tikka take-off barrels, not factory new). Does any retailer sell new factory Tikka barrels?

    Lowa Tibet Care

    Thanks for the report, too bad the waterproofing was only holding up on the usual areas. I agree the cleaning and moisturizing (and probably storing someplace cool) is pretty critical. Hope the rejuvenation works for you.

    ANOTHER stolen bull…this time Aron Snyders?

    Not as bad as I thought that link would be.

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    Anyone have a barrel recommendation for an AR in 5.56/Wylde that would meet my needs? My current Armalite in 5.56 does okay with 55gr hand loads, but is 1:9 twist and shoots 70+ grain bullets horribly (like 8-9 MOA), and I'd like to upgrade to a 1:7 to shoot 55-77gr bullets accurately. I'm also...

    Lowa Tibet Care

    Please report back. I like the Lowa active cream for keeping the leather moisturized, but like many, I haven't gotten Lowa Waterstop to work longer than a couple of hours (boots remain fully waterproof after three years of regular use, but the leather soaks up water after awhile and it...

    6.5 Creedmoor Terminal Performance.

    I received some of those 77tmks and compared it to my non-seconds TMKs. The only visible difference to me was a duller color on the tips.

    Barrel threading….again.

    I'm in Southeast, but the smith in South Central who some of the guys down here used to send their work up to isn't there now.

    In. Will be interested in results as another Alaskan who has to have everything sent in/out for smith work.

    Elk Stolen in Billings

    Not again

    I wonder how much was stolen. Hundreds of pounds of meat? Just antlers?
