    What’s your ideal hunting truck?

    34’s are the sweet spot for 4Runners. 33’s just don’t seem like that much of a jump from stock, and 35’s are too heavy in my opinion to make it worth it. Some lighter weight 34’s with 4.56 gears feels like you’re driving a stock 4Runner (power-wise) with a significant increase in axle clearance.

    What’s your ideal hunting truck?

    I Agree with both of those points. The seats in my 4Runner are horrendous, and my paint is 100% pinstripe now. I don’t even try to avoid brush or branches anymore.

    Help-Canted Crosshairs Illusion?

    Yeah, this is the first time I’ve ever noticed it, but this is also the first time I’ve used a bubble level on my scope. I’m sure I just hold my other rifles in a position that “looks” level in the scope.. I’ve never really shot long range before so it hasn’t been an issue.

    Help-Canted Crosshairs Illusion?

    I’ve mounted my scope twice now, the same way I always have. Level the stock/action, then match that with a barrel level. Mount the scope with a level on top of the turret. Once it was all mounted, I even used the flashlight technique through the front of the scope onto a whiteboard behind and...

    What’s your ideal hunting truck?

    Agreed on the Toyota MPG. Granted, I didn’t help my mpg adding steel bumpers, aluminum skids, winch, regearing, etc.. the MPG was around 17 when it was stock. 12-13 now that I’ve added all the crap. Yeah, it seems like there isn’t a perfect solution. The 4Runner is extremely capable off-road and...

    What’s your ideal hunting truck?

    Nice! Yeah agreed this is a great way to go. Ideally, I’d keep the 4Runner AND get a used truck, but we just don’t have the space.

    What’s your ideal hunting truck?

    Oh yeah, I’ve heard about the CP4 Bosch pump. Not sure why they’re still using it if it’s a known issue.

    What’s your ideal hunting truck?

    I joined my local 4x4 club years ago, so this 4Runner was built for off-roading in an attempt to keep up with my Jeep buddies on 37’s. IMO, 34’s are the sweet spot on a 5th Gen with 4.56 gears. We just had a baby, so we don’t off-road as much these days, and I’m leaning into hunting a lot more...

    What’s your ideal hunting truck?

    I’ve had a few people point me in that direction. I’ll need to take a closer look at it.

    What’s your ideal hunting truck?

    I’m looking at selling my 4Runner (gets roughly 12mpg) and buying a new truck to use daily, but also as a hunting rig. I’m a Ford guy, but open to other brands. I know I want a 6’ bed, 4x4.. but do I go 1/2 ton? 3/4 ton? Diesel/gas? I apply in every western state, so this truck will rack up a...

    7PRC Ammo - 160gr CX Outfitter??

    Does anyone have a lead on where to get some Hornady 7PRC CX 160gr Outfitter ammo? I’m able to find their Precision Hunter ELD-X’s but cannot find the CX’s. I’m in California, so I need those copper bullets. My new rifle is a paperweight in the meantime. Please let me know if you know where to...

    Better CF Barrel? Gunwerks vs Proof?

    Does anyone have experience using BOTH Proof barrels and Gunwerks proprietary barrels? I know Gunwerks used to use Proof barrels, but now that they’re manufacturing their own, how do they compare?

    Scope Choice for Long Action Rifle

    Yes, agreed that would be ideal! This is going on a gunwerks rifle, and they make their own proprietary “unity” rings (like the Hawkins hybrid), but of course, they don’t make them in 36mm. So, I asked Hawkins if they had any plans to make them in 36, and they said no.

    Scope Choice for Long Action Rifle

    Ok, great. I appreciate the response! I talked to both gunwerks and Zero compromise directly, and they both think it should work with a two piece rail and medium height rings. Fingers crossed.

    Kifaru Gun Bearer vs. FHF Gear Rifle Sling and Pack Attachment System

    I used the Kifaru gun bearer on a Colorado Elk hunt last year, and hated it. It was fine once you got it in place, the barrel in my line of sight was a little annoying but not horrible. It was also quick to deploy once you needed it. My primary issue was that it was a pain in the ass to get back...

    Sling Choice - FHF vs Red Kettle?

    I’m narrowing down my sling choices for a new rifle, and I think I’ve settled in on two.. the Red Kettle M19 and the FHF Rifle sling. Does anyone out there have experience with both? I just want something simple, functional and lightweight. (I tried the Kifaru Gun Bearer last year and...

    Kestrel Elite pouch?

    Also looking for a good kestrel 5700 pouch for my Marsupial Bino Harness. Any luck on your search? I’ve found a few with Velcro lids, but I don’t want a loud Velcro pouch.
