    FHF FOB Harness

    I am definitely between this and the Marsupial, just sold my KUIU. I appreciate the decreased range of motion and opening the lid on the FOB, and the access you get to the front pouch while open compared to the enclosed Marsupial. Just not sure if it justifies the extra cost. Can anybody tell me...

    Mtngear bipod?

    10-4.. I would be very interested in just using my tripod to shoot off of but don’t want to switch to a ball head on it. I would prefer to glass off it with a fluid head (I am only using 10x binos to glass, no spotter). So not sure how to make it work without having to change heads from the...

    Mtngear bipod?

    What are your thoughts on glassing and shooting off the same tripod? I will be using a Sirui ST-124 with a VA-5 fluid head for glassing. From what I am seeing, most shooting off a tripod occurs off a ball head, but it seems that most prefer a fluid head over a ball head for glassing?

    Mtngear bipod?

    I am also in the market for the MTN bipod or the Hatch. I am new to western hunting, headed on my first elk hunt in SW WY this fall. Considering either of these or a set of Quick StiX on my trekking poles. Or maybe both? Wanting stability in both prone, kneeling, or even standing positions if...

    Rifle weight for new Elk hunter

    For sure.. I have a love affair with my 7mm rem mag. There is almost zero reason to not to keep my current Weatherby for my elk gun, outside of me wanting something more weatherproof (Cerakote or stainless). My Vangaurd 7mag is a blued barrel and before I beat it up hunting with it for another...

    Rifle weight for new Elk hunter

    Thanks to all who replied! I believe my original plan is the way I will go. The rifle will end up being around 9 lbs and it seems like that is perfect for what I will be doing every few years. Also, if I decide not to run a break, the extra weight will be nice to absorb that recoil of the...

    Rifle weight for new Elk hunter

    Yes, I agree. The recoil is already pretty aggressive on the 300 WBY so I am not looking at going so light weight that I dislocate my shoulder :). From what I am hearing, around 9 lbs seems to be very average and manageable!

    Rifle weight for new Elk hunter

    For sure, and I would be all over that rifle but I cant deny my love for the spiral fluting and it only comes on the limited...and the limited is the same weight. Man, I wish I didn't care about looks, it would save me $400. I wont be hunting that often so I am more apt to get the rifle I like...

    Rifle weight for new Elk hunter

    Honestly I dont know if the 1lb difference in the two rifles will be a big difference since I wont be hunting several times per year. I am a pretty fit guy but not "mountain hunting fit". I like the slightly heavier rifle with a break for that 300 WBY recoil (I have shot an accumark 300 wby...

    Rifle weight for new Elk hunter

    I believe we may pack in on horse back for my first hunt but my desire to do a DIY in the future is high and see myself packing in on foot and camping. I think it will be a mixture between guided and DIY, and honestly I wont be hunting but every 2-3 years.

    Rifle weight for new Elk hunter

    Hello, I am a new aspiring elk hunter and I am looking to upgrade my rifle as to retire my 7mm Weatherby Vanguard to the safe for my son when he is old enough to hunt. I am a devout Weatherby user and I am very interested in the Mark V line as my brother owns several and I have been in love...
