im pretty picky with boots. i think the sizing is correct with these. im a 42.5 and these feel true in size to me. i have also was able to put super feet guide foot beds in them. for whatever reason the carbon and or construction in general gave this boot added cusion.
i bought a pair of the kuiu versions r evolution trk gtx's to check out. will arrive tomarrow, curious how they are compared to the la sportivas trango cube gtx as well as a few others in the quiver...... looked interesting. crispi had a few new offerings as well that looked intriguing.
I have the 3.5-15x50, id go for the 5.5-22x50 personally.... i originally picked mine for a .308 win so figured i didnt need 22x be it its hunting capabilities. now its on a 300 rum. For me the 22x would be better even for load development doing ladder tests let alone hunting. The 15x is fine...
never have had a problem with the blackhawk system, thigh rig/serpa holster. ive been using that set up for 7 years, 100's of miles ascending descending various terrain, from washington states hell hole jungle bottoms to glaciated mountains. for a mtn hunter that packs animals out boned out, in...
thigh rig, blackwawk serpa. works best for me, my pistol is always on me this way.... backpack on or off.... as well as still always keeping bino harness on. tried other ways but will never part from this meathod. i dig it.........
a double knot takes care of that..... i double knot my boots always on mtn adventures... they never come un done. i have these as well in highlander. backcountry.com and moosejaw also sells them in highlander not just through kryptek.
ive stayed with kryptek since highlander came out. there are plus and minuses to all of the companys imop. kryptek fits me really well im 5'8'' 175, really like there merino layers, no itch, fits my body how i want that layer to, the aquillo always in pack with the dalibor 2 ready to put on...
look at the christiansen arms ridgeline as well. a lot of gun for the $... mine shoots 1/4 -1/2 moa with hand loads in a 300 rum. buying a .308 win for my boy.
i love my original exo. with all the hype id be willing to order a hunting frame to pair with my exo bag for chits and giggles. curious........i will add i wish exo had a larger pack in there quiver. when hauling casches etc... into hunting grounds the 5500 becomes small. will probly never...
i like the simplicity of the exo. have carried a few deer and a bear in mine. think 136 pounds has been my heaviest weight from the high country. i had a kifaru set up and it didnt work for me, was too much going on with it and i like a meat shelf. cant imagine not having one like the exo is set...
is this with your longer barrel on the new build ? 27''? curious how much if any speed was gained by adding length on your 300. im a ways out from needing a new CA barrel but was curious about sticking with a 26'' or going to a 27 or 28'', thanks.
scoutlook is great for you given spot as well for temps but does not show precip amounts. i have found scoutlook is for the most part spot on for the years ive used it. i have pins pretty much right at my camp spots. in the end its a gamble and if its all correct then this weekend could be a...
i look at a few throughout the day scoutlook etc..... i pulled the snow accumulation in this spot due to the elevation is similar to the spot ill be. its location is not relative but figure its weather is another tool in the kit to try and decide.http://www.methownet.com/weather_hartspass.php
as of now there is barely measurable snow at those elevations at least what i saw on sunday. will be what it will be but amounts are predicted to be 7-22'' according to what i looked at just now at 7000'ish elevation between thursday nite and saturday nite with snow everyday at that elevation...
have had the same thoughts in the past and still do. i have chosen to go up and see for myself and have seen big buck prints in the elevations 6500-7000' spoke of. imop visibility is the real problem with weather as we will have for modern rifle season here in WA. lots of time starring at fog is...
talked to them today. they want me to send my rifle in to check out.... yup... not untill seasons are over so guess ill be torquing as usual. another pain in the arss.... hope they work with me and re drill the scope base holes as well to 8x40's as they should have been... the 6x48's dont belong...
the mini is awesome. just have to use it as it should be.... its definitely not a main filter. i use mine to suck up water when crossing sources when i dont want to pump or carry more water weight on my way up. its great to have on you when you drop your pack to stalk a critter and it becomes...
