    Gun vises & Torque wrenches

    I pad the jaws of my regular bench top vise on the corner of my work bench for a lot of my cleaning and scope mounting. Wheeler FAT wrench is what I have been using and it seems to work as advertised. I’ve never calibrated it or tested it against a known torque value, but it seems repeatable. I...

    Bow saw vs pocket chainsaw for tipi tent wood

    Silky folding saws are very nice (pocket boy or gomboy for backpacking). The Ichiban Samurai is very good as well I keep one in the truck. The Sven folding saws are a nice compact option as well. I’m not a fan of the pocket chainsaws.

    Scopes and muzzleoader WA State.

    I’m not putting my support behind this at this time. The WDFW doesn’t oppose this change, but I don’t see it stopping at just 1x magnification for very long.

    Easiest Way to Hang Meat (73 yr old Dad)

    How handy is he with knots? Knowing some basic Knots/hitches that can be tied, and almost as importantly untied under tension can make things a lot easier. Specifically truckers hitch and burn knot. Carabiners are good for improvised blocks as well. Good luck!

    Elk in CO - Spotting Scope needed?

    Your binoculars are fine for what you described. Even better when put on a tripod, but elk are big and branch antlered bulls are usually pretty easily identified from a long long ways off.

    Need some advice in colorado

    If you’re truly not seeing anything, then I’d consider moving now while you have enough time left to get a good hunt In somewhere else. If anything you’re going to learn more areas for the future.

    Factory Ammo Question

    Probably not from the same lot. There will be lot numbers printed on the boxes that you can compare. There can be some variation from one lot to another. Best to shoot a group to check if you can.

    When you have to shoot (a rifle) at an animal that is further than your zero, what method do you use to compensate for the shot?

    I have a scope that dials/tracks reliably, and a simple duplex reticle. I use a combination of dialing and MPBR. I zero at 100. Dial up to my MPBR for must quick shot opportunities out to about 330yds. I can dial up the remainder past that.

    High Country hunt - water!

    Is that water source on the way to camp, or a side trip from camp? Also how reliable is that water source? If it’s on the way, and dependable I’d lean towards only bringing the minimum for getting to the water source. Then filling up as much as I can stand to carry and hydrating like mad for the...

    LImbsaver for old rem 30-06

    I recently installed a grind to fit pacmayr decelerator on an old Remington 788. Pretty easy to work with if you’re patient, and take your time. I used file/rasp and a palm sander with varying grit sand papers. Turned out okay even without a grinding jig. I don’t think you can grind the air tech...

    Ridgeline 6.5CM - Mount Question

    You could do 600 easily without extra elevation built into your scope mount. But 1000 could be pushing right at the limits depending upon how much of your available elevation you use getting your scope dialed in at 100. Just as stated above. Depending on your environmental conditions and...

    Rem 700 mountain rifle scope recommendations

    Leupold custom shop can change the reticle for you if it’s something that important to you. I have been pleased with the vx3i 2.5-8x36 that I have had for a couple years. Though maybe not cost effective, Leupold could possibly change the reticle to one you want in the scope you already have.
