    Sold Seek Outside Lanner, Kifaru HighCamp 4800

    Seek Outside Lanner 5400 for sale. This is the older X-pac and Cordura version. I bought this pack in the classifieds here a couple years ago, and I'm selling it because I just bought a K4. This pack has been used, so it's not perfect, but is in good shape. Some small stains, and abrasions. The...

    6.5 Creedmoor/260 for Deer, Elk, and whatever else.....

    Pretty drastic, aren't they!

    Joseph von Benedikt vs Formidilosus

    For me, if I'm prone in my yard, marginal improvement is probably correct. But where that changes is weird shooting positions and quick shots. I've been using a 223 for whitetails 50% or so of the time for the last few years, and what I'm finding is that I am nailing those awkward or quick shots...

    Aron Snyder leaving Kifaru

    Most of us probably love a good ribeye, but if you had one for lunch and one for dinner every day the magic would likely start to fade. I feel hunting is the same way (as are most recreational activities). Get to a point where you do it all the time, and the magic leaves. It's a wise man who...

    .223, 6mm, and 6.5 failures on big game

    Makes sense, @Ozarkansas @Choupique . Thanks!

    .223, 6mm, and 6.5 failures on big game

    Honest question here. Do you guys shoot high shoulder/base of the neck in these situations? I hunt some thicker areas as well, but not that thick, as a 30-50 yds death run isn't really a problem. If I was, I think that's probably the route I would take. I haven't used those shots a lot, but...

    6.5 Creedmoor/260 for Deer, Elk, and whatever else.....

    I'll be very interested your thoughts after killing a few deer with your 223. I thought the same way until I used mine a couple years. The difference is most stark in quick opportunities or odd shooting positions.

    6.5 Creedmoor/260 for Deer, Elk, and whatever else.....

    Bingo. With odd shooting positions and/or speed, it's like those little bullets are laser guided.

    6.5 Creedmoor/260 for Deer, Elk, and whatever else.....

    I have no links, just something that has been discussed on the Exo podcast he was on, as well as coming up occasionally on here over the years. It has certainly played out that way in my experience, which is not necessarily complete.

    6.5 Creedmoor/260 for Deer, Elk, and whatever else.....

    I'm just an Internet guy, and I have some experience but not what I'd consider a lot. Nothing I say carries much authority. With that out of the way....... I have now shot enough 6.5 TMK into enough whitetails that I'm not worried about terminal effects. I have yet to catch one in a whitetail...

    Will Vehicle Prices Ever Decrease?

    I'm fine with them being options, and I can understand that some folks would prefer not to have them. As far as markup, I'm a residential construction contractor, and my everyday life is vendors supplying me things, and me billing them to customers at rates that I'm sure some wish were lower...

    143 ELD-X blew up on the shoulder?

    Whatever it was, I would think it had to be fairly close to the animal. It's definitely a bit of a mystery, though. Like others have mentioned, I do at times find that what actually happened and what I thought I saw in the scope are different.

    Will Vehicle Prices Ever Decrease?

    Hey now, I'm 5' 8'', and I'm kind of fond of my tailgate step on my F250. This is a mixed bag for me. I certainly agree on the proximity sensors, but I will pay significant money for my backup camera and hands free phone connection. So maybe I'm part of the problem? I traded an 03 F250 in on...

    143 ELD-X blew up on the shoulder?

    Well, this thread has taken some interesting turns, and it makes me wonder if some posters have raging headaches this morning. All signs to me point to the bullet hitting something before the deer, what that is is certainly a mystery.

    3x9x42 Nightforce SHV vs Tract Toric 2.5x15x44

    NF, and it's not even close. 10x will not hold you back. My 3-10 SHV was laying loose in the back of my 4 runner last fall when I rolled it on its top, and was still zeroed.

    Car Crash Centered First Aid Course

    I drive 15-20,000 miles a year, on a lot of very rural roads, and I drive up to a crash every so often. Help is often going to take some time to get there, so I usually stop, unless it looks like it's handled. One thing I always do is call 911 before I get out of my vehicle. I was riding with...

    6.5 Creedmoor/260 for Deer, Elk, and whatever else.....

    Been there, done that, with having my boys with me and not getting photos! I'd probably chalk it up to the weird things that happen, and be hesitant about making changes off one data point. Certainly a interesting situation, and it would be fascinating to know what happened.

    6.5 Creedmoor/260 for Deer, Elk, and whatever else.....

    Curious about this as well. A few photos with skin off and then with quarters off would tell us a lot more.

    OnX Basic Now Totally Useless

    Fwiw, OnX Elite has a discount program that is not trivial. I just mostly paid for this year's subscription with their discount on an Exo pack. I find that all in all, $100 is not out of line for what they provide.
