    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    The Gen2 Solo 300 are sold out. Where are you buying yours from? Does anyone make a 6mm Arc port less ar15 barrel? If not, what would be the best way to get this made? Also, what manufacturers have good accuracy with a pencil profile ar15 barrel?

    Howa Superlite 308win Field Evaluation

    @Formidilosus Thanks for doing exactly what I'd like to see before buying this rifle. With modern manufacturing methods, this type of quality and accuracy should be non-existent.

    Is a hot tent needed for second season rifle Colorado?

    You could get lucky with warm weather and be okay. However, if its cold or rainy or wet snow you will want a way to defrost, warm and dry out boots and other gear. I've done it with a regular tent and the next year bought a seek outside redcliff dyneema with an sxl stove. Now my entire hunting...

    Talk me out of a NeoAir XTherm NXT

    XTherm NXT Long & Wide owner here. This is the only pad I haven't had holes in. Thicker bottom fabric helps. Also, super warm. I use a quilt in 3rd & 4th seasons and never get cold from the ground.

    I love the Enigma for Enlighted Equipment. I got the 950 fill power with Long and Wide to fully cover arms and head.

    Sleeping Bag Recommendations

    I'm a stomach and side sleeper, and in extreme cold I can pull the quilt over my head so my entire body is enclosed. Also, with a sleeping bag and down you lay on is a waste of weight and doesn't keep you warmer.

    Best caliber and bullet for African Hunt

    The first shot was slightly quartered to. I had climbed up the mountain behind it, so I was 10-15 degrees above it. After the shot it walked with a limp about 40 yards. It stood in place quartered away with no signs of going down. Head was up, looking around, and lifting its leg off the...

    Best caliber and bullet for African Hunt

    @Liftman101 I'd highly recommend staying away from cup and core bullets like Eld-X and I will be sticking to solid coppers next time. I shot a large waterbuck at 127 yards with a 24'' barrel 270 win with factory precision hunter ammo 145gr eld-x. The bullet hit the shoulder and was found on...
