    Spotter vs higher power scope

    Not a good compromise. Use the correct tools, for each application.

    Wiping blood on the face of a new hunter

    From my perspective; these rituals/traditions, of wiping blood on people, eating the heart, or whatever else … are perpetuated by hunting dorks. Why can’t it be as simple as walking up to the animal and expressing sincere thanks, either verbally or a silent prayer? As opposed to a bunch of silly...

    Swarovski Z5i 3.5-18x44

    Glass quality is absolutely, undeniably, super-duper important. Like, maybe the seventh most important consideration when selecting a scope. The eighth most important thing is, do you get a free sticker for your truck, when you purchase the scope.

    New Alaska Draw System Idea

    You’re essentially proposing a slight variation of what has been proven to not work in just about every western state. Consider learning about the other states draw systems and their failings first.

    Best 4 season 4 person high wind tent ?

    Yes. Hilleberg still makes the Saitaris. Unfortunately, It’s usually out of stock. You could give them a call and find out when the next production run will be. If I remember correctly, it’s during the spring. Definitely worth the wait and hassle of getting one.

    Swaro NL Pure 10 vs 12 for Alaska

    Considering the NL 10 and NL 12 weigh the same, the decision boils down to differences in magnification, field of view, etc. Also, I generally always carry a spotter (ATX/BTX 95mm). So, my choice of bino magnification has been independent of carrying a spotter, or not. However, I recently...

    Binocular Tripod Mount options

    Outdoorsmans. The self leveling ability of the bino stud / bino adapter should not be understated.

    Swaro NL Pure 10 vs 12 for Alaska

    NL 12’s….with a headrest, along with installing a stud, for mounting on a tripod. From my perspective, this setup gives me maximum versatility at a very minimal weight penalty (a couple ounces).

    Sheep rifle scope

    NXS 2.5-10x42 I’ve had this scope on my sheep rifle for the last 9 years/hunts. It’s a great compromise between rugged durability, light weight and magnification range.

    Suppressed 300 Norma Mag - 16 or 18" Barrel Length

    I'm in the process of putting together the specs and components list for a custom build, I'd like to have completed this year. This rifle will be used for mostly hunting deer at ranges out to 1,000 yards. Going into this project I've got a couple of requirements. 1) 300 Norma Mag; from...

    Some christensen rifles can't be rebarreled...?

    Did you soak the end of the barrel / muzzle device in water, before trying to remove the muzzle device?
