    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    I am getting 2660 fps out of the 16” barrel. Accuracy has been great as well.

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    My entry looked to be higher than center heart so the damage must have been from a large fragment. Edit: I was shooting from an elevated position in a treestand though as well

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    Well I took my first deer with the 223 and 77 TMK combo last night. Results were on par with what has been proven in this thread. I took a shot on a whitetail from a treestand. Deer was roughly 100 yards and very close to broad side with his front leg/shoulder back covering his vitals. My shot...

    Kuiu Kenai vs. Sitka Ambient

    I can only speak to the Sitka Ambient Hoody. So far I don’t think I have ever worn a mid layer piece that is so versatile. It is incredibly warm for its weight, regulates my body temperature extremely well and drys incredibly fast. It is extremely comfortable and stretchy. I liked it so much I...

    WTS Zamberlan, Salewa and Solomon Boots

    In my quest to find the best boot for me I have a couple pairs to sell off. All three pairs of the men’s boots fit a standard Men’s size 9 foot. Zamberlan 2092 Mountain Trek GTX RR Men’s size 8.5 US / 42.5 EU Boots are 9.5/10 just some light dust and dirt marks. These are an incredibly...

    Boot Recommendation Please

    I have recently gone through a pile of boots. And have landed on the La Sportiva Aequilibrium. They seem to fit the description of what you are looking for and are unbelievably comfortable for me. They are a narrower fit but have a pretty decent toe box. As far as the durability I can’t comment...

    Consistently wrong balistic calculator

    I am currently having a similar issue but I have to constantly add elevation clicks to get impacts. I thought it was possibly my crono but after lots of load development research (many people with similar load recipes getting similar velocities) I’m sure my crono is correct. I am shooting at...

    Sitka ascent vs kuiu kutana stretch pants

    I currently have both pairs. I don’t wear the Kutana much due to them being too tight in the thighs. I tend to favour an athletic slimmer fit but it takes a day or two of wear before they become bearable. I also don’t think they have much stretch at all. The fabric seems to be durable and I like...

    Bora Vs M7 Pants

    I usually just run a base layer underneath and adjust the base layer depending on my planned activity level.

    Bora Vs M7 Pants

    The Bora seems to fit that bill. They are a great late season pant which I have worn in various condition and they always seemed to keep me dry and comfortable. The only negatives I have is that the material is a bit noisy “swishy” as mentioned above. And the cut is relatively boxy. I think...

    Stone Glacier vs WM?

    Another vote for Western Mountaineering. I have the Antelope MF and the Megalite. USA made and also different length options. I’m sure SG bags are great but I’m a short ass and packing around extra sleeping bag that is not needed makes zero sense to me.

    Mid-Layer Shootout Review ***Updated 2/18/23***

    Lots of great suggestions. I’ll throw in mine. The Kryptek Shahikot Alpha would be interesting to see stack up against the Sitka MDWi and possibly the Arcteryx Proton LT. All are active puffy style mid layers that are designed to move moisture during high exertion. It would also be interesting...
