    Non-dialing 300 Yard Deer Caliber

    Either a .280 Remington or the .280 AI would be a good option IMO. Equipped with an optic that has a similar 9not too busy) BDC reticle as pictured you would be golden. LaGriz

    Leaking Alakanak Tent- Need Advice

    Too Missahba and others, Thanks for the input. I have since spoken to the head guy at Montana Canvas. He suggested using pure silicone. Not yet sure how I'm going to do this.
