    New Mystery Ranch Packs?

    I’m glad they changed the waist belt. That goofy double adjustment system was pointless

    Model Seven stock options?

    That's what I bought. Great stock, IMO.

    Model Seven stock options?

    I put a Manners on my Model 7. Might be more $$$ than you want to spend though.

    Anybody use 6x binos?

    I have a pair of those exact binos. However, I haven't used them much. Even in the trees, I like magnification. It can turn a suspicious stick into a tine.

    New hunter, WY vs MT to generating points

    Skip MT. The antelope numbers have been down since 2011 and for whatever reason, do not seem to be recovering well. WY does a great job with antelope management. If I didn't live in MT, I'd go to WY for antelope.

    7mm STW ANY INFO OR OPINIONS

    I've had one since 2004. Mine is a Winchester M70 classic stainless. Mine has been easy to load for - 7828 is the best powder I've found. Recoil is about on par with a 300 Win Mag Great elk/mule deer round, but in the age of turrets and laser rangefinders, I don't carry it as much now.

    Cold, Wind, Snow and Wet: Softshell Conditions

    I almost never carry a rain jacket in November. Soft shell all the way. I’ll wear a wind proof mid layer if I think it might be warm but windy. If it’s colder, I just wear the soft shell for wind. The trick is finding the right soft shell. Most have a fleece liner, making them too warm to...

    Kuiu Chinook Jacket vs Guide Jacket

    I have both and agree with everything said above. The Chinook is not nearly as wind or weather resistant as the Guide. Frankly, I don’t think the Chinook is much of a jacket. There’s a lot of pieces of clothing that will do what it does, and they cost a lot less and don’t weigh nearly as much.

    NEMO Spike 1p tent

    I have one. The trick is not to judge it against other "tents." It will not measure up to a 3-4 lb tent. To get to the weight of the 1p Spike, you're going to have to give up features and comfort. However, at 1 lb it is as light as a bivy bag. How does it compare to a bivy? 10X better...

    KUIU pack/frame help...the noise is making me insane!

    If the Leukotape works, why not just use that?

    Sitka alternative?

    Unbelievable. If I thought a piece or brand of clothing was the best I could find, I'd gladly pay full retail or even double the MSRP. Sales are nice, but I've never been up on a mountain with failing gear and thinking "Man, this sucks but I got a heck of a deal on it!"

    Gaiter recommendations for skinny legs

    Kuiu makes the best gaiter I’ve ever worn, hands down.

    Kimber Subalpine experience?

    So if I report on my observations I’m “shitting” on someone? Rokslide is the truly the snowflake’s haven. For the record, yes I’m talking about 3 shot groups. Nobody ever specified otherwise. Usually if someone is referring to a different shot count, they will point that out.

    Kimber Subalpine experience?

    MOA rifles aren’t that rare in this day and age. If they seem elusive, you’re doing something wrong.

    Kimber Subalpine experience?

    Yes. Some required handloading, but I generally don’t mess around with factory loads for very long.

    Kimber Subalpine experience?

    A joke I came up with after everyone was ready to boycott Sitka last week. Reminds me of the stock market.

    Rl25

    Says who? I’ve never seen any claims by Alliant that 25 is temp stable.

    Kimber Subalpine experience?

    YMMV Out of my 9, 1 is a hunter and 1 is a subalpine. The rest are Montanas. Like I said, only one was difficult to get shooting. It was a VERY early model 308. There is no doubt Kimber had some issues at the start, those are over now. The last few I’ve bought have all been easy shooters.

    Mono Recovery

    That’s what I was thinking too!

    Kimber Subalpine experience?

    I’ve got 9 Kimbers. All shoot sub MOA. One took a little work to get there though.
