    Cheap Titanium Stove

    https://a.aliexpress.com/_mMCJady I’ve been watching these on AliExpress for sometime. Typically they were around 300$. This one popped up in my search today and it’s less than half the price. With shipping this thing came out to 156$. All the reviews indicate that it’s legit. Same design as...

    Barrel Swap Sig Cross help

    Has anyone in the Northern Colorado area messed with swapping the barrel extension on their Sig Cross? I picked up a 6.5 barrel but need to remove the extension from my original barrel to make it work. Tools and gauges preclude me from going the DIY route. If you have what I assume is just...

    Pawn Shop Tikka

    Found a Tikka T3x (lite) 300 WinMag at a local pawn shop. Stainless RH. Appears clean. Has a Nikon P308 optic riding on top. Didn't catch the rings. How much you think its worth? What price makes it a "great" deal vs a good "deal"? Considering picking it up for a project in the future.

    Crispi Boot Stretching- Success!

    Just got my boots back from the local cobbler. I’ve have a pair of Crispi Nevada’s for about 4 years. After a wet 5 day hunt last year. Boots underwent some pretty dramatic shrinking. Took them to a cobbler and he said that since this leather was a “soft” leather, they are very receptive to...

    Pack weight: Does anyone actually care?

    I am curious if I am an outlier or part of the majority regarding my approach to pack weight. Over the last few years, I have noticed myself departing from concern regarding my pack weight. I am weight conscious when shopping for gear but rarely try to find the lightest/greatest backpacking...

    Athlon Cronus G2 Spotter vs Kowa 773

    The new Athlon spotter looks intriguing as before its overhaul, it was punching way above its price class. With the overhaul, they went to a barrell focus from a daul ring focus which was praised. Anyone got there hands on the new Athlon 86mm and if so, how is it stacking up against the Kowa...

    Ban Unit Numbers in Rokslide Threads

    We all are aware of the dramatic effect forums can have on a unit. What if we can be part of a solution and make those Unit Specific threads go away? Have a little report button and BAM, the thread is blocked until a review can be completed. It happens every year. I am sure that I am...

    How far before going boneless?

    Looking at the coming season and making plans. I got to thinking, how far before you go boneless? So far the only boneless elk I have bothered with was a little over 5 miles. My buddy who is a butcher highlighted about 600 flaws, and since then I have brought everything out bone one. That...
