    Trijicon Credo 2.5-15x42

    the 3x9 is the only one i can recall, but if i remember correct the main vertical and horizontal crosshair on the tree type reticle had lines .125 MOA thick... so 1/8th inch @100 yds... that seems pretty thin to me

    HAMMER Bullets Performance on Game

    I always have had an exit, but its often very small. the rear shank passes through with minimal expansion while the petals break off the jelly the insides. i often dont find the exit until skinning. Ive shot 2 bulls and 5 deer so far and been very happy

    Attach guy lines to stove pipe

    If your stove jack is low on the pipe, the wind has alot of exposed pipe to blow around. I make a simple loop of mechanics wire around the pipe with a couple small "s" hook hung on it. Pinch one side of the hook shut so it stays on the wire. Then use whatever cordage you have to guy it back

    My rifle predicament.

    Both will easily kill out to 400 yds. And I don't think you need a fancy reticle or dials either. Zero either rifle at 250ish yds amd you could hold at the top of an elks back and kill it at 400.. more or less

    Questions on a short barrel build for a suppressor

    is a 5in suppressor a waste of time on a 300wsm? Ive only ever had 22in barreled rifles and cutting to 20in with a 7in can still seems way too long.

    US made alternative to Kodiak Canvas?

    Yes, its a Teton model. Mine has 3ft walls. If i had it to do again, i would do 4ft walls for sure. As a solo or 2 person tent if weight and packed size is an issue, i would still choose a 10x10x3.

    Optics for tikka t3x

    why are people recommending turrets when his max range is 300yds..... a plain jane 2-7 or 3-9 variable would be my suggestion... save your money for something else

    Sherman Pocket & 44 Mag

    I keep mine fully floating with 2 compression straps top and bottom. Makes it easy to stuff extra clothes, tripod ect. between the bag and Sherman. Also makes it a nice way to carry awkward items like an elk head.

    Fulcrum with a 26" frame when you need a 24" frame

    so long as the shoulder strap length and hip belt are the correct size, i would think the frame height would be inconsequential in most cases. im 6ft and us a 26 lite and 24in duplex and notice no real difference in performance. shoulder strap length and hip belt size DO make a difference though...
