    Sitka Core Light weight hoody or Equinox hoodie is better?

    I bought an Equinox Guard hoodie recently and it is essentially the same as a LW hoodie except for the insecticide treatment. Haven’t hunted with it yet, but have worn it fishing a couple times. Was a skeptic, but my opinion has changed, is very effective. Bought it new on EBay, cost was...

    Which 350 Legend for whitetail

    I think a TC Contender or Encore would make a good platform for a 350 carbine.

    22 Mag vs 17 HMR....does anyone choose a 22 Mag anymore?

    I have two .17 HMRs (CZ 452 Varming, Tikka T1x) and one .22 Mag (CZ 452 American). Have used both calibers extensively for hunting and pest control. While I enjoy using the .17 HMR, it definitely doesn't have the anchoring power of the .22 mag when using 35 grain or 40 grain bullets. On...

    6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

    I am a fan of monolithic copper bullets in the .243. Although I intended to handload, am getting excellent performance from Federal Trophy Copper 85 grain. 1/2” groups out of my Tikka, good expansion and penetration. All exits on deer 100 yards and in. Attached is a photo of an exit on a 200...

    T3x Stainless Caliber selection

    I recently bought a stainless T3x in .270 Win. Already owned a Sako 85 in .270, but being Walnut stocked, not very weatherproof. The .270 round is very versatile, old school. The Tikka will out shoot the Sako.

    Lowa tibet gtx sizing

    Not Tibets, but I have some Lowa Renegades that aren’t even close to my normal size. Generally wear 11 in dress shoes, 11.5 in running shoes and 13 in the Renegades. That is with a thicker sock, but still is a big variance.

    6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

    I have two .243s. A Tikka and a Rem Model 7. Have taken a few whitetails over the years, switched to mono bullets a few years back. 85 grain Fed Trophy Copper shoots like target ammo out of my Tikka. Sub MOA, excellent bullet performance/penetration.

    Optic for .270

    I believe most Vortex scopes are made in China. Don’t know if that matters. Does to me.

    Kangaroo or?

    I have an older pair of goretex 400g insulated Cabelas Kangaroo wing shooter boots. (Very similar to Brownings) Had them for 20+ years, bought for pheasant hunting. My favorite boot, mock toe, very lightweight and comfortable, wear for everything. Despite my preservation efforts, uppers are...

    Optic for .270

    I have a Tikka 3x in .270 (pictured) and a Sako 85 in .270. Have found that a 3x9 is plenty, used on both rifles. Have a Trijicon Huron 3x9 on the Tikka. Non illuminated reticle, but good eye relief and clarity, impressive quality. $450 or so, street price. Made under contract for Trijicon...

    Does anyone NOT wear merino underwear?

    Never cotton, usually synthetic. Multiple brands. Also have some merino stuff, but only use when temps drop.

    Pnuma

    I have Waypoint pants, Selkirk jacket and Alpha Vertex jacket. Quality is good, durable. I wear the Alpha Vertex Jacket as a layering piece. Don't wear the pants and Selkirk as much as I used to due to the camo pattern (Terra). Doesn't work well where I currently do most of my hunting.

    Hoyt Torrex?

    Update. Shopped around, got a deal on a new Torrex. Currently set at 56#, 29” DL. Over the chrono was averaging 260 with a 400 grain arrow. Much smoother draw than my 12 year old PSE. Solid back wall, quiet. Always owned flagship bows until now. This thing is a keeper.

    Hoyt Torrex?

    Thanks for the input. Mirrors what the tech told me. Wish I could demo one. Also heard good things about the Elite Terrain. Decisions, decisions.

    Hoyt Torrex?

    Thinking about a new bow for whitetail hunting and recreational shooting. Just turned 65 and I need to drop down in draw weight. A 50-60# bow should be sufficient for my needs. Have previously owned bows from Bowtech and PSE, but always wanted to try a Hoyt. Would rather not drop the coin...

    Scope Base and Rings for Tikka T3x Lite Stainless

    Same rifle in .270. Tried a rail, but ended up going with Leupold Back Country ring mounts. Medium height worked well with Trijicon scope.

    Are there really any differences in the top brands?

    There is a difference. Especially in consideration of your hunting style. Tree stand, bowhunting specific, western, mountainous terrain, etc... I think Sitka stuff is well thought out, with unique design features and has the broadest product line. Sitka also sells through retail outlets, so...
