    FFP spotting scope

    The Leupold is good. Relatively small, tough and good enough optically.

    Plythal Gear

    I bought the Full Rut Extreme Jacket on Campfire in late December for I think $109. I've worn it in the 20's out shooting my bow, but haven't sat motionless in it. It is very quiet and blocks the wind well so we will see. I'm 5-9, 175 athletic build and the Large is barely big enough with a...

    What are your thoughts on the Kung Flu?

    First focal plane versus second

    I have both. Not all FFP reticles are created alike, just as not all SFP are created alike. I have SB, LRHS and 5-20 SWFA, and I really don't like any of the reticles in the woods until you get to 8x. For a dedicated woods gun, I like SFP, for an all arounder/LR rifle, I like FFP. I also wish...

    Best down puffy. That's actually warm

    I bought the EB 800 fill with the windblock membrane for 125, it's been great to wear down in the teens. I have NOT sat with it at all, just general use. I was hoping to use it for casual use and as an underlayer in cold weather for hunting. Still watching this thread for a dedicated hunting...

    Brand new to Long Range, looking to build Custom

    Opinions vary, and I'll give you mine. If your new to LR, I'd not start with a custom rifle, if get a good factory rifle in a 308, like a PSS, CTR, T3 etc in a 223 or 308. Put a Super Sniper on it, buy a case of ammo and shoot. Getting good takes alot of rounds down range, and either caliber...

    Sasquatch/Bigfoot/ Steve Isdahl

    I can't say I've seen a Bigfoot, but my wife saw something about 12-15 years ago. Her and her ex-husband were driving in South GA one night. South GA and AL have some pretty big areas of nothing, certainly not like out west, but there are large tracts of timber land. Anyway they are driving and...

    20” 308 Hunting Reloading Recipes

    46.7 Varget with a 155 Scenar got me 2750 in a 20" barrel. I get over 2850 in a 24" barrel with the same load. That is in Winchester brass and a 210M primer.

    6.5 creed and 156gr Bergers

    I got up to 2850 in a 21" barrel Barrett FC with 140's and rl26. I get 2730 with rl16, but it is more accurate. I'd definitely try 26 if you can find some. Don't overlook rl22 and 23, as I've gotten good velocity and accuracy with those as well with the 147 eld.

    light bullets for short barrel 308

    155 Scenars with 46+ of Varget should get you between 2700-2800. The Scenar is a great bullet.

    McMillan stock help

    I have a 260 in a Mountain Rifle stock and I love the stock. I like thin forends and a thin wrist and it points well. I also have a Hunter on a 300 WM PSS. It handles recoil very well and is good with bigger contour barrels.

    Best powder to try with short barreled 6.5 CM

    any interest in a warm/light over-bootie for glassing in cold weather?

    Shraggs, I was thinking the same type of thing. I have a pair of the Artic Shield over boots and have some thinsulate inserts from old military leather boots. I was going to try that with a thick pair of socks without boots. The combo is pretty light, decently packable and cheap.

    H4831sc for 300 win mag

    I'm using it with a 210 Berger. In my rifle, H1000 was not as accurate. RL22 did well but I was a little concerned about temp stability. I think I'm at 72 grains and get around 2850ish fps

    Down Jacket <$200

    I've been thinking about the Chamberlin . Any possible way it can be used for bow hunting or is it too bulky and noisy?
