    Trekking poles; gimmick or gear?

    Electrolyte/Recovery/Mental Focus Supps

    Had issues with cramping and soreness a couple years back. I picked up a bunch of "Biosteel" Hydration single serve packets.

    Bipods worth the weight?

    I didn't run a bipod on my rifle last season and wish I had. I'll be running the Spartan Javelin on my rig for my next mountain hunt. Got to handle a friends kimber 280ai with the spartan and it is a nice piece. Well worth the $

    7mm SAUM

    VAhunter01, what did you end up getting for velocity with the 180s? I'm having my smith put together a 7saum with very similar specs to yours, wondered what a guy can expect "realistically" for velocity?
