I dont think they are unreliable at close range at all. I dont have pictures, but when we used to be able to shoot lead here I killed a few animals with them. A pig at around 50-60 yards, a blacktail at like 120 and a bear sub 20 yards after I shot that blacktail. The pig was broadside, bullet...
Definitely grabbing the stocking cap, actually ordered a new one from Kifaru yesterday when I ordered the lid. Thanks for the suggestion about dropping the puffy pants, I may drop them. I have been looking at historical weather averages and it doesnt seem like its getting crazy cold that time of...
A zone and B zone are otc. I’m not sure on A zone but B zone sells out before rifle season starts.
Oh I believe D3-5 is otc also, I’ve never hunted it or really even looked into hunting those units so I’m not positive on that.
I'll get the lid ordered right now and kick around getting a larger pack. Its a horseback assisted hunt, so I dont know that we'll have to carry camp on our backs too much, other than for a couple nights if we wanted to spike out. Thanks for the suggestions!
Hey guys, I leave August 20th for my Dall hunt in the NWT with Gana River Outfitters. It's a horseback hunt, so a different ball game than a traditional backpack hunt. I was hoping to get some feedback on my gear setup from all the experienced sheep hunters on here.

Got out and shot this morning. I bore sited at 50 yards then went to 102. The first 2 were low, I adjusted up and the next 10 went into the 1.5 inch dot with one cutting the edge. I’ll do another 10 round group next time out to confirm then take it out farther. I didn’t throw it on the ground...
I’m super excited! I’m doing one of the horseback hunts but if Harold thinks a backpack hunt is better I’m prepared for that also. I’d love to see some more pictures from your hunt. That’s awesome you’re going back next year I’ll be watching for your hunt recap!
Got mine mounted up tonight in UM Tikka rings. Just waiting on my Rokstock now. I got my 20" PBB 6.5 PRC barrel on this week also. Hopefully I can get out early tomorrow morning and shoot a bit!
That’s exactly how my illumination looks also. It’s only really noticeable on the 2-3 highest levels, and I don’t think I’d ever use it on those settings or at all really. I was playing with mine well after shooting light last night and didn’t feel I’d need illumination during actual shooting...
