    Down Packable Glassing Gloves

    I have the Kuiu Superdown PRO glassing glomitt. A good idea, but the design lacks competence. (I was gifted a pair, not something I'd buy) It is not a good design for working in cold weather. I don't use them outside the shooting range. A liability if you bring these into the backcountry...

    My mountain rifle is getting walnut…

    Sorry, can't afford chequering and don't gave the skills for it. I'll refinish the wood this winter; the marks will just add a nice patina. I really enjoy "learning wood", so looking forward to the process.

    My mountain rifle is getting walnut…

    I have a "semi-London" finish ( a term I just made up) as you're supposed to go back to bare wood whereas I applied mine above the factory finish (which doesn't go as deep). The internet doesn't really seem to have a lot of info on that "trade secret", but a lot of confusing terms and...

    My mountain rifle is getting walnut…

    I'll give a +1 to that. Getting a nice piece of wood on my mountain rifle has been a very enjoyable experience. For sure, more "initial rubbing" but finding the waxed London oil finish easy to maintain.

    Swarovski EL Range misreporting actual vs corrected distance

    Yesbthe menu setup on Swarovski is terrible. That ONE time you really need a corrected number the number you have been looking at the previous 10.000 times is no longer correct. You have to actively decode the numbers and discard the wrong one (which should never have been presented)

    Here's the last segment; equipment failure and unusually nice weather caused enough disruption to halt progress. Basic weather knowledge...

    Yes, sometimes I don't understand what people are doing... Here's a picture from a recent huntingfilm, imageframe where he breaks the shot This is Triggercam the triggercam image (where he broke the shot) merged with the camera image where you see the bullet flick fur and strike the deer...

    I suspect that could very quickly degenerate into the audio version of a circle jerk. However, I have been conditioned by my current employer to not to exclaim how much you suck, but rather take the long way in and explain how this is not conductive to an efficient workflow. Spend more time with...

    Blaser R8 in a Rokstok survey

    Same as you, I have one but haven't added a barrel yet. For Blaser, use a gunsmith who understands the locking mechanism of Blaser...

    Here, found an abridged version for taping to the riflestock. Airpressure also expressed as elevation gain/loss. In the terrain. Vind 1 msec is base windvalue. It's >10 years since I stopped doing it like this. At the time I was using a S&B PMII 1/4 MOA turrets with P4F MRAD reticle. The...

    Seems like I cropped a bit much: Blue - Airpressure Red - Temperature Green - Terrain angle All these corrections are applied to trajectory elevation. Blue + red can be expressed as a single density altitude column.

    Correct. Click/mrad/moa or whatever you want to call it --> whatever you click your scope. Spin drift: Correction to windage 1 click moves meters: A useful number to dial odd ranges Grey column right is killing window. How many meters can your target move closer/farther without you needing to...

    Thanks. Very human with all the flaws included. Right now inordinately frustrated with my shipping brokerage agent that seems to have pocketed my money without actually shipping the pronghorn trophy. Impossible to get any sort of contact after the initial phonecall, straight to voicemail...

    I have listened now, seems to be no significant differences really. Vocabulary/ choice of names more than anything. What I call "dead rifles" is covered in the rifle setup podcast, only point I'd add is also to consider the trigger housing. An "open" trigger (interior exposed) like Jewell can...

    I haven't seen Anna lately, but Elsa is still in the neighbourhood. She usually drops by for the season's greetings. Haven't seen her that much recent years though, she's a grown woman now and have to prioritize differently

    Yes you deducted correctly. It is my personal preference. I'd rather take have the error where it's small enough to be irrelevant and have a more "neutral" windhold meaning rather than forget the correction and have that be the difference between a marginal lung shot and a burst diaphrame with...
