    Scythe Cover

    223, 6.5 manbun, 7mm RM. I can shoot a lot with the 223, the 6.5 will heat up if you’re not taking breaks. The 7mm is good for around 8-10 rounds (no wind). If there’s a breeze, it makes a huge difference in pushing the mirage out of the FOV.

    Kifaru Warranty Not What It Used To Be

    This is true that I have no social skills or tact. I did however offer THEM the finger option, and they took it and honored the warranty. The things I’ve done to save $20… @fwafwow @Billy Goat

    First Lite Obsidians, better than Kanabs but…

    I wish they would update them. After years of using merino wool as their primary fabric, they have slowly moved most of their fabrics to synthetics. It’s a bummer. I vastly prefer wool most of the time. Synthetics have their place, but an Obsidian 2.0 is overdue.

    Scythe Cover

    I went the DIY route. Using carbon felt, silicon tape, and vet wrap. Cost was $10 and weight is 1.25oz. It can’t be easily removed, however.

    Kifaru Warranty Not What It Used To Be

    I just sent them a belt that had the stitching ripping out where the shoulder straps attach to the belt. The pack is at least 8 years old and has been abused repeatedly. They sent me a new belt, no questions asked. I wouldn’t have called it a defect- just overuse, but they honored it immediately.

    Rokslide Special 223 recipe

    Shamefully, I haven’t reloaded yet. I ran out of time and money to buy the equipment. I found that Hornady Black that shoots 75BTHP less than 1.2 MOA and it’s cheap, so I’ve been shooting that until I actually start reloading.

    Sleeping bag repair

    I ended up sending it to needle and shred. I sent an email to Rainy Pass, but they didn’t get back to me for about a week and by that time I had already mailed the bag.

    Truck tire question for you all

    Big fan of Coopers so far. Might also try the Falken Wild Peaks next time.

    Bison Quarters

    I can’t see how a bison quarter is seriously packable. A mature bison weighs 25% more than a bull moose, and a moose rear quarter is in the 120-150 range. That would put a bison rear quarter at 150-200ish. I would be looking at using a truck or ATV and winch, a game cart, or deboning and doing...

    Sleeping bag repair

    @Dos Perros Needle and shred called me after I sent pictures and said they can repair it for $50-60. I might go that route.

    Sleeping bag repair

    Stone Glacier said it’s beyond their capabilities and referred me to Rainy Pass.

    Which version of aquaseal did you use?

    Sleeping bag repair

    I am surprised. I wouldn’t think that would hold up to being stuffed/unstuffed and violently compressed in a compression sack.

    Rokslide Special 223 recipe

    I don’t think 3 round groups show much of anything. There are numerous threads about it, but getting up to a 10 round group starts to be statistically relevant.

    No, I haven’t called them yet.

    Sleeping bag repair

    I am looking for someone to repair my Stone Glacier 15 bag. My first trip using it and a large hole got melted into the foot box from a stove. The hole is about the size of an outspread hand and covers a couple of baffles. Is recovered all the down and covered the hole in gorilla tape, but it’s...

    The Shoot2hunt Podcast

    If you are looking for subjects for the podcast or the FF: Truing Ballistic Data - how you do it, what do you use, etc. Wind Observation and Estimation - you emphasize that this is the biggest error (besides zero and sucking). Wind estimation at the first third/middle third/last third of...
