    Help me choose a scope for my sheep rifle

    Without question, the NF NXS. You need your scope to work correctly. FFP would certainly be desired, as well as a MIL based system. 6.5 oz. on the mounting system is a bit inconsequential.

    Need powerful electric chainsaw

    This. The key with battery operated chainsaws especially is to be over zealous in keeping them sharp.

    Need powerful electric chainsaw

    That’s interesting. I haven’t seen that issue, although I haven’t tried cutting through that diameter of hardwood. One thing that is certainly helpful is to keep the chain super sharp. We do and they easily cut quickly through anything we’ve used them on including large diameter creosoted power...

    Are any "waterproof" boots/hikers truly waterproof?

    Yes I expect mine to stay dry and they have. You have to buy the right boot. The two make and model of boots that you mentioned did not surprise me that they failed. The proper gaiters and boots with a high rubber rand combined are a thing. Properly constructed boots that have a European origin...

    Helly Hansen Impertech/Gale/Mandrel input needed

    What kind of conditions are you expecting? Do you have experience wearing that type of rain gear in an active hunting scenario?

    Need powerful electric chainsaw

    Yes. I have had very good luck with them. We use them at work quite a bit these days. They would be a good choice for the OP intended use.

    If you could move anywhere?

    Generally speaking, the hunting is harder and more expensive than in the lesser 48. Depending on where you live up here, it’s much harder to be successful trying to do “weekend” trips. The country is big and the weather is bad.

    If you could move anywhere?

    Alaska has been a great place to live and raise a family. I don’t care to be here in the middle of the summer anymore. Far too crowded. In a lot of areas of the state, the hunting has taken a hit for a few different reasons. One being over hunted. Overcrowding.

    If you could move anywhere?

    I moved here 30 years ago. Quite a change since then.

    If you could move anywhere?

    This area is closed to immigration. We are full.

    338 Build

    Without question, I would certainly hunt with it. I can only imagine that your grandpa would want you to enjoy the use of his gift and create your own memories with it. The .338 Win. Mag. has a handful of good attributes and to keep it real, a few not so good. I have used and continue to use...

    I need a hunting rifle

    A Tikka of some fashion would certainly be your best option of rifle make for multiple reasons. Model would be subjective although another T3x Superlite is tough to argue with. You mentioned you would like to be legal to hunt any NA species, which would preclude the 5.56 caliber in some states...

    What's With The Tape On The Barrel?

    I have taped my rifle’s muzzle for years. I wrap a few wraps of electrical tape and duct tape around my Nalgene bottle for my extra tape storage.

    Is there one brand that is truly the best for carrying weight?

    Absolutely! This can’t be stressed enough.

    Short Barreled 33 Nosler

    I mentioned the RCM’s on another thread. They are often overlooked and thought of as just another “short mag” that didn’t make it. They have positive attributes over other “short mags” with their primary design centered around their ability to shine in “short barrels”. The .338 RCM is worthy of...
