    Sitka Mesa Pant fit?

    I've dropped some weight (20lbs) after a back injury and medical issue that's left my 36 tall traverse and mountain pants feeling pretty loose. I'm looking at some mesa and grindstone pants in possibly a 35 or 34. I've been reading recent reviews that say they might run small and a bunch...

    UM build or local Tikka build?

    I've been trying to decide on new 6cm and having trouble. The local builder does a good job (Garrett Preece) and can have one done in two or three weeks with a Proof or CRB. The price is less with local but the CRB is a heavier profile than I like. With UM I may not get the rifle any time...

    Gout and wild game

    My whole family is fed by wild game. I hunt and enjoy it a lot but I also enjoy putting meat on a table that is not jacked up with hormones. Now that I have been diagnosed with gout I'm second guessing how much meat I eat and how much wild game. I'm not sure what makes wild game higher in...

    Gun safe in unheated room or garage?

    I'm moving soon to a place that doesn't have many options for storage. The 42" wide fat boy will need a home and so far the only places I can fit it in will be an unheated storage room or the garage which is moderately insulated but will have high humidity with parked vehicles dripping snow off...

    GPS trackers

    My kid is headed with the grandparents while I'm down for back surgery. They want to take him into the Ruby's for some SXS and moto riding but don't want to lose him. What's the best passive GPS tracker for the Gparents to be able to view his location when cell service is not available?

    Wyoming unit 30 for a gimp?

    I made a bit of a mistake and left my app in for unit 30 thinking I'd be good to go. Recently I found out I'd need back surgery this summer/fall and not likely able to hunt away from the truck. I could probably pull it off with a treesspass fee or guide service but I'm not able to pay the $3k...

    Bartlein break in rounds

    How many rounds did your bartlein take to get it up to speed? I have a 6.5 PRC that's about as fast as my factory 6.5 CM but I only have a dozen rounds through it. There are a lot of variables but I'm expecting to at least see another 100-150 fps. I just hope I can get there sooner than...

    Hunting near gas/wind farms

    With the proliferation of wind farms on public lands it stands to reason there might be some hunting impacts. Most states have a stand off distance from occupied structures, which those might fit in that category depending on the state. Have you seen any areas closed to hunting around wind...

    I'd like to hear your thoughts about on the shelf cartridges that we be here in 30 years and ones that won't. In a world of fancy new cartridges and dying old ones, who's going to make it? I'll start with my thoughts... My favorite 270wsm is dead as a doornail and the 6.8 western will follow...

    Spotting scope questions (higher end)

    I'm looking for some advice on a spotting scope that will suit my needs. I have a difficult time staying behind high power binos so I've sold most of them and opt for the spotting scope for distances of 1000 yd plus. I am not counting tines but rather identifying animals bedded in shaded areas...

    Useable NF reticle for hunting

    What is the most useable Night Force reticle for hunting in FFP? I'm on the fence of going back to SFP but really have no experience with NF reticles. From looking online it appears their MOA reticles are more gear toward hunting than the MRAD. What's your opinion?
