    Folding Mountain Rifle Build

    That’s pretty dang good for having a suppressor and modern dialing scope. Most of my rifles with a robust scope come in at 10lbs or more without a suppressor.

    Talk me into (or out) of a chassis

    Did you try bedding the action into the chassis? You may try it. I know chassis’ are advertised as not needing bedding, but tolerances on actions and chassis vary. A good skim bed job may help.

    Talk me into (or out) of a chassis

    I do a lot of back pack hunting. I’ve had two rifles now with a XLR magnesium chassis and have grown to really prefer them for folding in half and fitting in a pack. My current rifle in a chassis is a 300 prc. It handles recoil just fine, but the rifle has a very good break on it.

    Does anyone use a thermal while scanning before switching to traditional optics?

    Humans are efficient predators because we use our brains to create tools to aid us in hunting. It started with sharp sticks and stones and has progressed to firearms. We also use gps devices, phones, cars, fancy clothes, etc that all helps us in our pursuit of game. A thermal device is unfair...

    Consistent 28 Nosler loads

    I used 195s and retumbo in Bertram brass at 81 grains. The speed was just over 3k.

    What Would you buy 6.5 creedmoor or 6.5 prc- strictly for white tails In the south-600 -700 yds shots tops

    Sounds like you want to shoot past 500 yards. If so, the PRC will give you better performance in the wind. Under 500 yards I don’t think there is enough difference to matter him the field.

    first lite disappointing service

    We had a bad experience as well. Ordered some product (not on sale) that didn’t fit. We went to exchange it for the correct size and we’re told we had to pay for return shipping, even though their website advertises return costs are covered. We asked why and we’re told because the items were...

    For all those with a pair of NL Pure binos, what standalone ranger finder do you use?

    I run a Revic BR4. It’s the best rangefinder I have ever used for shooting long range.

    Camo vs Solids??

    Also, are solid colors becoming the new fashion statement in hunting? Growing up we always hunted in drab non-camo clothing because it’s what we had that was cheap. Seems like the fashion in hunting evolved over time from earth toned clothes and military type camo, to sticks n’ leaves type camo...

    Camo vs Solids??

    My hunting clothes get bloody and stained. Camo helps hide the stains. I also turkey hunt, where camo is necessary. I have a mix of both solids and camo, but tend more towards camo.

    Southern WY Blue Grouse

    I’m not familiar with WY, but here where we hunt them in September the grouse seem to be at both high and low elevations. The best hunting around here is early in the season along creek bottoms and the edges of mixed vegetation where there is berries and/or greenery that they are foraging on.

    MPR .223 loads

    I like the Berger VLD bullets in a .223. You get better initial penetration than with the TMK, but just as explosive results once inside the animal. The Hornady 75gr BTHP behaves just like a Berger bullet and is my preferred factory ammo for taking deer or antelope with a .223.

    Zeiss Victory SF vs Swaro NL Pure

    I also have a Leica Geovid 3000. Both the Zeiss SF and Swarovski NL outclass the Geovid optically. They are all equally sharp to my eyes, but the Geovid suffers from significant distortion compared to the other two that have flat and clear images to nearly the field stop. The Geovid also has a...

    Zeiss Victory SF vs Swaro NL Pure

    I have Zeiss sf 8x32 and NL 10x42. It’s not apples to apples due to the objective size and magnification difference. I think they are both fantastic glass. I can’t say 1 is better than the other. The NL has a wide field of view as everyone is aware of and the sharp image all the way to the edge...

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    I use an 18” AR15 shooting Hornady 75gr HPBT. I have no issues with the combo killing deer and antelope. Terminal results are similar to a Berger VLD. Seems to make more sense to me to run an AR15 in a .223 than a bolt gun as it’s more versatile.

    Berger vld hunting vs vld target

    I’ve killed a lot of game with the 105gr hybrid target bullets. The expansion has always been sufficient and looks like a typical hunting VLD.

    NL pure or maven b1?

    I have a NL 10x42. The optics are pretty incredible. There is almost no distortion (I can’t see any), color rendition is as close to true as any binoculars I have ever used and they are clear all the way to the edge. The nicest optics I have used. The only gripe I have about them is under...

    Back country hunting rifle

    I don’t have much to add other than I have found a chassis rifle with a folding stock to be fantastic for packing. Being able to fold the rifle in half while it’s strapped to your back is extremely convenient.
