2-10x vs 3-15x Hunting Scope
Sorry, completely missed the fact we are talking about an ar. I have my VX5 3-15 on an 18” .223 Wylde rifle with a Proof Research barrel. I love it, and feel that 3 power is still very similar to 2 power in regards to close range and shooting moving targets. -

2-10x vs 3-15x Hunting Scope
Don’t get caught in the weeds too much. Bipods are the same weight for any gun you put them on. You will want a muzzle brake or can on every short barrel rifle minus .24 cal and down. -

2-10x vs 3-15x Hunting Scope
But, all the things you brought up are good reasons to go FFP if you’re concerned about it. -

New 7mm PRC
Yep that just sold me too. Probably going to look at the 20-22” barrel range, to add a suppressor. Should help my mushy shoulder with the recoil. -

2-10x vs 3-15x Hunting Scope
I don’t disagree with you on needing less magnification for hunting ranges. My point was merely that for the few ounces you pay, 3-15 is theoretically much more useful than 3.5-10. It can depend on where you are. I picture a New Mexico hillside 500 yards away, that is covered in oak brush with a... -

What Sitka gear "clothes" to take..
Everything is dependent on you. Are you camping from your truck or packing in? That makes a huge difference. If it were me and what I own: -Ambient Hoodie -Midweight Zip Tee -Core LW LS -Lightweight merino bottoms -Timberline Pants I would hike in the stuff listed above. I hike a little warm... -

2-10x vs 3-15x Hunting Scope
I’m surprised you think the difference is negligible, to me going from the VX3 to VX5 is the best “quality” jump in the Leupold line. I used to work at a gun store so I looked through all sorts of optics from multiple manufacturers. The VX5s always were easy to sell when people would spend the... -

Leupold VX-3HD CDS-ZL 4.5-14x 50mm
I haven’t spent a ton of time behind this optic but I have used one. I think they’re a good option in the mid tier range. They’re light and compact, still giving you plenty of magnification for big game at your stated range. The biggest con is that this specific one only gives you a 1 inch tube... -

New 7mm PRC
Theoretically, if there’s 270 and 30-06 ammo on the shelf, but let’s say no 6.5CM, 6.5 PRC, 300 WM, whatever….doesn’t that mean the 270 and 30-06 are less popular? …theoretically of course -

Marsupial vs Kuiu bino harness?
My vote goes to the Marsupial after using both. I still run the Kuiu, while my brother runs the Marsupial magnet harness. The Kuiu is a good harness. It works especially well with all their other gear like the hydration bladder covers. I have a Kuiu pack, so having everything integrate with... -

6.5 Creedmoor Rifle Recommendations
If you know you will most likely never take it hunting, I’m voting the Bergara HMR. The regular or the pro, both will serve you very well as range guns if you like the stock. They’re heavy, but very accurate with good out of the box triggers. The regular HMR should run you around $1,000. Not a... -

“Short” Barrels, why not?
Before the 7 PRC was leaked, I was pretty set on a 280 AI but I think the extra possible performance is worth it. -

“Short” Barrels, why not?
Has anyone looked into comparisons on the new 7 PRC in a short barrel as opposed to the 7RM, 7 SAUM, or 280 AI? I’m wanting a short rifle suppressed that can kill elk sized game out to 700 yards or so. Strongly considered the 28 Nosler, 300 PRC, 300 WM, and 300 WSM as well, but I’m a bit... -

KUIU System Questions
Understood. Thank you very much for the thorough explanation. My planned system looks like this so far: Sitka Merino LW Bottoms (if needed) Kutana Pants (Ash) Peloton 97 Hoodie Peloton 240 Zip* Sitka Kelvin Lite Down* Sitka Dew Point rain gear * Still need to purchase these. Since I’m hunting... -

KUIU System Questions
It seems like alot of people seem to recommend this type of setup over using softshell jackets like the Axis, Guide, Jetstream, etc. I'm not trying to start a debate by any means, because I'm asking for advice with no experience on the matter. But doesn't carrying a down jacket and rain jacket... -

KUIU System Questions
Yeah I have some good Sitka gear to build off of. I wanted to try some KUIU stuff and the Valo pattern. Almost all of my Sitka is in subalpine and I think Valo will be better for certain areas where I’m at. -

KUIU System Questions
Are the zip off bottoms worth buying if I already have other base layer bottoms? I picked up the Sitka merino LW bottoms a couple weeks ago with their sale. Is there a reason you would pick the strongfleece over the peloton? I already have the Peloton 97 hoodie, and with two hoodies it could be... -

KUIU System Questions
I always have my Sitka rain gear with me, somewhere. It’s straight goretex, so it’s very loud and I wouldn’t want to wear it unless absolutely necessary if I was moving in on an animal. For glassing or riding, it works great for the wind. I’ve looked at the vests from both KUIU and Sitka so... -

KUIU System Questions
Awesome feedback. Thank you. Do you size up the 240 and/or Axis in order to fit those bases underneath?
