    New rifle recommendations

    I just picked up a tikka 6.5 Manbun for this very same reason. I plan to hunt deer, elk, moose, bear, and sheep with my new build. Cutting barrel to 18” and threading for suppressor and/or break. Changing stock to rokstok.. and adding a Swfa 3-9 HD. If I do the work the rifle will be a killer...

    I am surprised forms fingerprints aren’t censored out in the rifle pics.. “delta “guys don’t make that mistake 😉

    Thanks I will check them out. Different lighting on the projects/materials makes everything appear different colors. Hard to decide. Doesn’t really matter however it would be nice if it looked “real nice”😂

    RokStok

    Ordered one yesterday for a new tikka 6.5 Manbun build. I ordered it in tikka sporter with front arca/pic one color..Was it wrong to order the tikka sporter fit? A lot of talks on dead cat space.. couldn’t a guy dremel if it’s too tight? Wouldn’t “form” have specified enough barrel room on the...

    I just recently reached out.. no timeline updates. Hopefully when they do show up it’s a high cube container full! My order was February. I did however back order with no timeline.

    Your "must haves" in your sheep pack for 10-12 days in

    X2 on sunglasses. I don’t leave home without them. I also bring a thing of visine in my kit.. glassing and/or crazy wind can make your eyes dry. As for the the actual “must haves” alpine camping gear and hunting/mountaineering apparel, footwear, gear, etc. The UL units in my limited experience...

    Your "must haves" in your sheep pack for 10-12 days in

    All the people talking about chapstick.. I use dermatone for my lips, nose, neck and whatever else is going to be burning! I agree you can easily overpack.. Too light or too heavy can lead to discomfort. Just right is found by training and practice in my experience. My 2c

    Leupold BX-4 RF

    I am also interested if they keep up with similar priced RF binos.. the 4 series glass looks good with my eyes. I have yet to hold these myself. Following to see what real life users have to say.

    Lightweight Rifle: Which Scope Would You Pick?

    I just bought a tikka 6.5 man bun also thinking of cutting back to ~16-18”. What changes do you see on your previous builds in accuracy, mv, etc? I am putting a Swfa 3-9. Currently sour on a leupold that won’t hold its zero. Use Zeiss if it works for you!

    Good, Inexpensive Fillet Knife?

    Another vote for victorinox. Holds edge well. And sharpens up super easy.

    best rifle cover

    Kuiu cover is what I use. Stupid simple. Quick on and off. Like others have said buy on sale.
  14. Snowhunter11

    If you were just starting out what pack would you buy?

    I use a kuiu.. 3600 day trips and 7800 up to 10 days. I can change the pack on the frame/belt in a few minutes. Good quality and easy to use. My 2c

    I like what you guys are doing with the color options! Go to a gun store they are mostly black, tan, green, or brown. This stock is hopefully something special. Let them have fun with the first few! If every option is butt ugly few will buy it. Or rattle can over it! Endless custom options...

    Tikka T3 stock for women?

    Looks like the bravo goes to 12.8” vs 12.5” for the factory compact. That could work real well!

    Tikka T3 stock for women?

    I am also thinking about this for my young girls. I want to buy them a tikka .223 for their first big game rifle. I would like to get stainless steel and a short barrel with compact stock. However it appears tikka in.223 only comes blued. Not a deal breaker. Good thoughts on sourcing a factory...

    Best wool or wool blend tall boot socks?

    Farm to feet makes amazing socks. You get what you pay for typically. Its worth it for the backcountry to have two pairs of good socks to rotate. What is $50 compared to the rest of your gear? “The difference between a live grunt and a dead grunt? Your feet!” Take care of your feet!

    Bergara Ridge Carbon?

    I have handled one in the store on a few occasions. For the money it seems to be the cheapest carbon barreled factory gun. I personally Can’t quite pull the trigger to purchase. It feels great in hand. I would prefer a drop mag and a different style carbon stock, etc.. However I imagine as is...

    Driving Snowy Environment

    Depending on your vehicle of course.. Generally on ice leave your traction control/stabilatrac whatever your manufacturer calls it on. In deep snow or mud I personally turn them off. In ice it will send power or braking to individual wheels and work to keep your vehicle “under control”. I am...
