    Should I have my barrel shortened for suppressor?

    Indeed, we can at least agree on that point. You are free to post your opinions regardless of whether they are relevant or helpful to the OP's context.

    Should I have my barrel shortened for suppressor?

    My browning x-bolt has a similarly thin barrel, and I will have it threaded 9/16-24 to match the thread of the end piece that came with my suppressor. No need for an adapter which simplifies the setup. Many cans have interchangeable end pieces, with various threads available from the manufacturer.

    Should I have my barrel shortened for suppressor?

    That's your subjective value and perhaps a ~28" long barrel/suppressor is fine in the open TX plains. If cutting a barrel is a waste of money, then buying a suppressor is an even more frivolous waste of money because guns have worked fine for 100's of years without them. Note that he provided...

    What rifle is missing stock options?

    Ditto, TAKE MY MONEY. Rokstock for X-bolt long action would be fantastic. I'd like to support Stockys because of their involvement on this site.

    Schnee's Beartooth

    or just bump up to the "wide" size, which isn't particularly wide if you get the 200g insulated boot. My Granite 200g "wides" are noticeably narrower than my Lowa Tibet wides, Crispi Briksdal GTX wide, or wide-last Zamberlan Hunter 200g boots I've tried on.

    Schnee's Beartooth

    I have the Granite 200g (roughly similar to the Beartooths, with a tad thicker leather) and they were not too warm for me during backcountry hunting (lots of hiking) from August through late October in Alaska, granted that means temperatures 65F down to 25F or so, and lots of rainy weather this...

    Hoffman Guide Pac Sizing question

    Here's a potential solution for heel lift: https://www.tognar.com/boot-fitting-foam-ankle-wrap-pads-1-8-pr/ I use the "butterfly pads" meant for ski boots in my Hoffman pacs and my heel is now locked in for hiking, whereas it used to slide up and down. Added some foam heel lifts as well to pull...

    Large sil-nylon tent suggestions?

    Have you considered sil-poly tents? Many companies are going that way because sil-poly doesn't absorb water and stretch like sil-nylon. Fabric strength and tear resistance used to be a concern for sil-poly, but newer ripstop sil poly is now on-par with sil-nylon.

    WTS Big Agnes Zoom UL Insulated Sleeping Pad 20"x72"

    Free bump! I have this pad and it's pretty amazing how comfortable it is given the weight- I can even sleep on my side without getting a dead arm. Raised "rails" on the sides keep me on the pad despite the narrower width. Good down to temps into the 20's for me and I'm a cold sleeper.

    Guy line on top of stove pipe.

    A light 20 lb stainless leader for fishing would do the trick. They are generally 6-10" long which provides plenty of distance to protect a guy line from heat. They have a swivel on one end (you can replace with a split-ring to attach to stove pipe ring) and clip on the other that you can attach...

    PEAX SOLITUDE 4 TIPI GIVEAWAY

    Pitch tight to the ground on all sides, or at least the windward side. Same as for most other tipis without ground flaps.

    Peax Solitude 4 Tipi Wood Stove Recommendations

    I can speak to a few points about the Argali stove in comparison to what I have read/published specs for the Seek Outside stoves. 1. There is zero setup for the Argali stove legs, just flip 'em out and done. The drawback to these legs is that they cannot be "stabbed" into the ground for added...

    Peax Solitude 4 Tipi Wood Stove Recommendations

    I ran an Argali stove in my Peax tipi last weekend in 20-40 degree temps and got a good 3-4 hrs burn time after developing a hot coal bed, loading the stove with 2" diameter logs, then closing the damper and vents. I had hot embers still remaining in the morning (~8 hrs). Based on my experience...

    Peax Solitude Tipi

    Just used mine this weekend for some camping at treeline in 20-40 degree weather including some sleet on the last day. Handled moderate winds (<30 mph or so) easily. Sets up way tighter and more stable than an MSR Front Range tipi which I have also used in the field. A few ounces heavier than an...

    Stone Glacier

    I have the x-curve frame and solo bag and am extremely happy after two seasons of backcountry hunting in Alaska. I've packed up to 120 lbs (total pack weight) for 6 miles of muddy, steep downhill and the pack was very comfortable and stable. The x-curve fits my lower back nicely and matches the...

    PEAX SOLITUDE 4 TIPI GIVEAWAY

    Put me in for the drawing if not too late :) To add value to my post, I'll say that I'm quite impressed with Peax's customer service, I ordered a footprint on Friday and had it in Alaska on Monday- no time wasted, and I even found a coupon code. The quality of the Tipi seems excellent at first...
