    "Lightweight" backpack hunting is an exercise in frustration. Total weight?

    I started out as an ultralight backpacker, but my hunting pack gets heavier every year. Im now to the point that Im willing to carry a pretty heavy load to be comfortable while backpack hunting solo in the mountains. Nothing is worse for me than being wet and cold and not being able to dry gear...

    Looking for a new rifle... thoughts

    I have shot almost every model of the Bergara rifles and have seen sub MOA accuracy with factory match ammo out of all of them. I have worked up loads for a friends CA Ridgline in 300wm and we were able to get about 1/2MOA with Hornady 212gr ELD-x.

    Gearing up to load for the 6.5-284...

    Research "ladder test", you should be able to find a good load that is within a barrel node in less than 50rds. I will also echo GLB, give your rifle a break in period first. Lastly, if you use Lapua brass you should still anneal every few loads to keep consistent neck tension because the...

    Super zooms

    I just got the Sony RX10IV and am very impressed with it so far. Its mechanical zoom is 600mm (25X). If you put it into 'clear image zoom' it gives you two times your 600mm (50X). Then if you put it into 'digital zoom' it gives you four times your 600mm (100x).

    Help with camera decision: Sony 6300/6500

    Well, in researching the Sony DX10 IV I'm seeing it being compared to the Nikon Coolpix P900 which has a 2000mm zoom and there is a lot of talk about a new model the P1000 with a 3000mm zoom. Is anyone on here using this camera? Thoughts on the "bridge" cameras over the DSLRs?

    SHTF, I plan on using the camera for everything I want to take pictures of. So, travel, portraits, landscape, wildlife, everything. I looked at the A6000 but the lack of weather proofing was a deal breaker for me.

    Help with camera decision: Sony 6300/6500

    Hello everyone. I'm looking for advice for my first quality camera. I'm obviously not a pro but I'm a “buy once, cry once” kind of guy with gear. I don’t want something that I will quickly outgrow or that will be obsolete the next year. I do a lot of backpacking in the summer and backpack...

    Bought Used Rifle, Action/Barrel Stuck in Stock

    Im assuming you were able to get the bottom screws out? If so try putting it in a chest freezer over night. I've had to do that on a few rifles after glass bedding them to get them to come out of the stock.
