I just got some of the desolation pants off camofire. I'm 6'2 245 athletic build. Typically wear a 38" waist due to thighs/glutes. I bought a 40" waist. Pants are snug
At thighs but could still fit a base layer. I'd say they run on the small side. Good stretch and feel. Yet to hunt in them. If...
The things that will change your dope. Density altitude, extreme angle. Wind is another factor all together.
Run some different scenarios through your kestrel for comparison.
300 wsm- great short action round, brass is hard to find.
Manners stock-all good, personal preference on weight/looks
Action- I prefer bighorn but defiance or impact are excellent.
Proof CF barrel-running a few now, shoot very good
Trigger-trigger tech or timney
Rings- I run a spuhr one peice...
I don't run a proof origin but do run several of their tl-3 actions. I wouldn't hesitate to buy an origin. I have 2 proof cf prefits and they both shoot great with minimal load development.

That's a complicated question.
No wind, large animal, elk sized 1100ish
Strong steady wind, confident wind call, large animal 1100ish
On/off gusty wind, large animal 700ish
Wind in mountains changing directions, can't establish good wind call 500ish
These yardages would all shrink on mid to...
I run harris bipods on my match and hunting rifles. Still the most popular bipod you will see at a prs match. Do you want this for prone shooting? If so a harris 6-9'' with swivel and notched legs. You can spend a bunch more money but it's not needed in my opinion. Atlas makes great products but...
I've had good luck running the 156 bergers. Have shot several wild pigs of various sizes, mature axis buck, mature aoudad ram, misc wild goats/sheep, axis does. Aprox 20 animals total, haven't lost any. Quite a few were bang flops and the others didn't make it more than 20yds. These shots were...
