    Trijicon Credo HX 1-8x28 on a 375 H&H

    In that magnification range I’d be happy with first or second focal plane. I’ll check out the specs on the Credo HX 1-6. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Trijicon Credo HX 1-8x28 on a 375 H&H

    If it turns out the Trijicon can’t take a little abuse I might be willing to go that direction. I really like the idea of a 34mm tube and 28mm objective on the Credo. The Trijicon has a slightly longer eye relief than the nx8 as well. I also like the extra weight on the Trijicon. I think it’s...

    Trijicon Credo HX 1-8x28 on a 375 H&H

    Just bought a Winchester Alaskan for whacking bears here in SE Alaska… both brown and black. I would like to put a scope with a little smaller footprint on it if possible. I was thinking the Trijicon credo hx 1-8x28 would be a nice fit. Has anyone beat up this particular scope? If so what’s...

    Bino harness - SG Skyline vs Marsupial enclosed?

    I have the stone glacier pack with range finder pouch. I like it but it’s not perfect. The pack doesn’t always hold its shape so it’s a two handed operation sometimes. The range finder can be tough to get back in while holding a rifle in one hand. I’m running Mavens in mine which are large...

    How do you feel about 16ga?

    I use my grandpas Belgium made, Browning A5 in 16 gauge for pheasants and grouse. It has “sweet 16” engraved on the barrel from the factory. It was my grandmas present for him when he got back from the Korean War. My grandpa gave it to me to use. Told me if it was going to sit he wouldn’t...

    One Rifle to do it all Or a rifle for each occasion?

    I change out rifles for hunts more than I change my underwear…I usually change my underwear….variety is great, but when I get serious, the 30-06 usually comes out. Boring for sure, but in a good way.

    Unfollowing Hunting Social Media Will Make Hunting Better: Matt Rinella Essay

    This has been quite the interesting read. I live in a region of Alaska that doesn’t have the same issues as you fellas in the lower 48… or at least to the same extent. Looking from the outside in, it’s been interesting that I’ve only seen one person admit to being influenced to start hunting...

    7mm-08 for Alaska Bear

    I’d have to agree with your guide. It’s not a matter of the 7mm08 killing the bear… it will kill the thing just fine. The larger caliber is for the terrain, not the bear. POW gets 13 ft of rain a year. You can’t imagine how wet you can get until you’ve been in a true Southeast Alaska rain...

    Who's actually killed a charging bear?

    I was charged in SE Alaska by a brown bear a few years ago. I was putting a stock on a bear we saw on a beach just to check him out. Turns out he had killed a moose on the beach and didn’t want to be checked out. It was flat ass calm on the stock so wind was a guess. Apparently he caught my...
