    Nearest Scheels is 5.5 hrs away in Sparks (Reno), so I may have to buy blind. :)

    Garmin Fenix 7 sapphire solar - 499.99

    Focus Camera is GTG. And you will love that watch with the sapphire glass - it is virtually Indestructable. Great find.

    Kifaru alternatives ...

    Didn't fit fine because of the shorter torso length. Will look into the stays option, but the issue appears to be "med does't wrap the hips enough and large wraps too much with the buckles bottoming out (foam touching buckle on both sides.)" Not sure how swapping stays will help that...

    All you SG guys, what loads are you putting in? Not that I am carrying 100, but curious what the highest people have actually done with them (frames and such rated for 150, but that doesn't mean they carry well there... :) 😀

    Have a Duplex-1 and an AMR-2 with a tactical frame. Tried 4 belts (old med, new med, old large, new large), none of them fit me (and/or have the slippery buckles) and the "Marge" is no longer offered for sale. No issues with MH, Gregory, Osprey, or Exo previously, seems to be only with...

    Toray vs. Goretex rain gear

    I can only speak to Yukon compared to MH e-vent, Arc'teryx Alpha and Beta gear. Yukon is heavier, cut is more baggy, and the industrial design seems not as functional (pockets wetting out,etc.) None have soaked through. Daily rainwear I reach for my Mountain Hardware e-vent. I love that that...

    Hands Free Backpacking / Backcountry Rifle Sling

    Reminds me of the Kifaru GunBearer. Nice work. Downside to that style of carry ... flagging your hunting partner when climbing slopes!

    Arrow build help

    Could be a quality issue for sure - sloppy threads on the cheap field points I was using at the time would respond more to vibration. Let me know how those Sirius shafts hold up - I haven't use them so I looked them up and while I love the GPI for spine ratio ... man those are some thin walls...

    Arrow build help

    I ran left-clock/hard-right-helical for a bit. Points still come lose. :P

    Arrow build help

    Glad you found the fixes and are happy with it! Your arrow, bareshaft, will likely come off the rest spinning. If your helical doesn't match, you get a touch of a "knuckleball" effect until the vanes overpower the natural spin. Makes a difference? HS cameras shows it, but downrange most...

    Arrow build help

    Arrow spine. Stiff arrows to mitigate high point-weight need to be stiff, and stiff is heavy. And heavy is slower. So you bump up your draw weight. And then you need stiffer arrows. Which are heavier. And then you lose your desired FOC. So you up the point weight ... Question is: If...

    Basic scope...with the best glass

    Nope, wasn't in the OP and I missed it further down.

    Basic scope...with the best glass

    Best glass with a basic reticle? Tangent Theta 315H. Also look to Zero Compromise 4-20, Swarovski, March, and NF ATACR lines, probably in that order. Cheers, -mox

    Best low light rifle scope ?

    That comparison has no mention of either the US-based Zero Compromise (ZCO) or the Canadian-based Tangent Theta scopes? Both are normally well above those shown in the tests for clarity, coatings, and low light. Disappointing for an "ultimate" guide.

    Chromatic aberration in Binos: who cares?

    I care. Because you cannot "un-see" it. And if you're scanning for long periods of time, it's fatiguing (at least to me.) Cheers, -mox

    Is 5x "good enough" for close range target acquisition for hunting?

    Had the same questions myself so I took an existing scope, dialed to 5x, and checked mag/FOV with some quick shouldering. IMO, even in my garage, 5X was very very doable. Canadian moose at 10', maybe not though ... lol. Cheers, -mox
