Leupold here. I jumped on the SIG band wagon when they first hit the m market. It wouldn't give two readings the same on a brine tank at 250 yards. Wouldn't read a deer at any range out to 700. I figured I had a Monday morning unit,so I called customer service for their opinion. I was told in...
Ah the good old days. My first T3 was a stainless 22/250. Just over $500 out the door. It was one of the very early T3s. The stainless was actually quite prone to Minor rusting. Swore I'd never buy another. That was 9 Tikkas ago,lol. Still watching for a smoking deal on a 308 compact. I'd like...
Patience is in fact a virtue. I never pay full retail for gear. Be it Sitka, Kryptec, Tikka, or any of a number of other brands. If Beretta USA really wants me for a customer,they can run some sales. If not, no worries. The world is full of rifles. After 10 of them I need to move on anyway I guess.
Well,I drew a long awaited Colorado deer license this year. Up till now,I've used middle of the road binos. Not much need for high end glass here in the east,and my elk hunting hasn't proven to be much h different.
I mentioned that I should get some better glass for this Muley hunt,and my...
Just curious what people have had for experiences with them. I've had some folks ask me why I'm not using them. I'd try a box if the feed back was favorable. Sounds like the penetration on game is more than adequate. Even for its light weight.
Lots of good feedback guys. I appreciate it. I wish I had an opportunity to do a "hands on" with the LPP. That Arc’teryx Cold wx SVX parka,looks like the cheese! But,it's in Incinerator country for price. I should just bite the bullet and order an Incinerator,but tags,travel and accommodations...
That's good to know. I currently have the Kelvin lite. Now discontinued.(?). It's extremely packable,and pretty darn warm for what it is. Combined with my Timberline shell,it's great for layering in the elk mountains. But,the cold on whitetail stand is relentless. Not much opportunity to move...
An Incinerator would be sweet! Too expensive though. If I hunted north of the border annually,I'd have one. I just won't log enough hours a year in it to justify the $600.00.
Kinda forgot about the Sanctuary. It has promise too. Supposed to be very quiet.
Hey gang. Looking at a couple cold weather coat/parka options. What's the consensus regarding the Lost Park,and the Aegis Extreme? I read a review here on the forum for the Kifaru parka. Good analysis. I'm not super concerned with how packable either one is. More concerned with how warm and...
For me the whole hi tech layering system is about light weight. It dawned on me one day while bear hunting. My insulated Cabelas gear was suddenly too warm for the rest of the day. The truck was 2 miles away. It was miserable. I stuffed what I could in my game bag on my vest. Suffered with the...
Quality rain gear that isn't $1,000 an outfit. These imported membranes CANT be that expensive.
Again,solid colors.
Not everyone is built like a high school track star. Some of us actually have muscles. More thought needs to be given to sizing as has been mentioned.
A less expensive...
I recently picked up the Vellus pant. Wanted to do a hands on quality check. Been looking for a mid to heavy fleece for whitetail. Impressive piece. The seams,zippers,and over all fit were well executed. My only complaint is being a little short in the rise. Been watching for the matching jacket...
I've been cursed on various forums for this comment. Nothing like holding the nation's wildlife hostage. Cash crop wildlife. Anyone that thinks they are going to default to Canada for deer, elk or sheep,better have deeep pockets. I figure they aren't going to be squeamish about cashing in on...
