    Swaro 95mm objective, worth the weight?

    I am a new owner of a swaro atx system, I was able to pick it up new in the box from someone who intended to use it for birding but went a different route and sold it to me for for way less than just what they eyepiece is worth. I feel incredibly lucky to stumble upon the deal. That being said...

    waders

    Friends and myself have been running korker BOA boots for years and they seem to hold up great. Plus they have interchangeable treads where you can swap from vibram to felt bottoms in less than a couple minutes.

    waders

    Im born and raised in WA and have been steelhead and salmon fishing since I could walk every weekend I'm not hunting. I've been through every brand wader I can think of since they only hold up so well when it comes to miles of hiking/bush beating and simms are the only way to go. Last pair were...

    Is a Spike Elk a 'Real' bull?

    Half of WA state, the only OTC tags they give out are spike only. Given the 1000s of people that saturate the woods for them annually with bows, muzzys and rifles and the single digit success rates, if you kill a spike around here you are practically a local hero and are praised by every camp in...

    Do you have 5 min to defend hunting in BC

    Done! It is a shame how these groups can have any sort of sway when it comes to wildlife science. Never hunted in BC but am a close neighbor in WA state and am glad to help!

    Muzzle Brake or not?

    I shoot and hunt with a brake on my semi lightweight 7mag. I love that I can see the impacts and that the recoil is non existent however the down side to hunting with it is that it could potentially cost me a quick shot opportunity as I am adamant about ear protection and will pass on a shot if...

    MT General MD Tag Odds

    Should be almost a slam dunk but with the increase in applications I cant say for sure. We have been drawn the last 2 years in a row as a group with an average of one PP though I did hear of a couple groups not getting drawn with a PP.

    Christensen Ridgeline issues

    I second blacktails comment. Pull the bolt out, center the paper looking down your bore at 100yds and then dial your scope accordingly. Last time I did this, all I had to do was adjust 2in left and 1/2in high and the gun was zeroed so it is fairly close.

    2500 budget for long range sub 9.5 pound rifle

    I would get a CA ridgeline and drop it in a high end stock of your choosing. With a ridgeline, you get a carbon barrel, adjustable triggertech trigger along with some other features. Their factory stocks are alright but an aftermarket stock would make for much better ergonomics, especially if...

    WTB Hornady Precision Hunter 162gr ELDX (7 Rem Mag)

    Just as the title states, looking to buy a few boxes of factory 162gr ELDX 7 Rem Mag ammo. I have a few on hand but with 5 tags to fill still, I am scared of cutting it close. All stores and online retailers look to be sold out so if anyone has a box or two they would be willing to sell that...

    Max Hunters Per Truck?

    As far as fitting 4 to a truck, that is doable if you dont mind being absolutely crammed and you are close to everyone going however my main concern would be the hunting aspect. Are all four of you going to hunt together at all times? If not then you may have to coordinate pickup/drop off times...

    Best Kuiu Hoodie For Archery Elk

    Ill usually wear a light next to skin long sleeve kuiu merino shirt as my main base layer and then I pack the kuiu pro merino 200 zipT hoody as an outer layer for morning/evenings when its a little cooler. Ran this for a couple years now and have no plans in switching. The hoody is awesome as...

    Harris bipods-- SLM v HBLS

    I second Sleds advice, the spiked feet are awesome for a slight preload. I run the 9 to 13 HBLMS and I love the notched legs for fast deployment. That being said, the lock lever accessory to lock in the swivel movement in place is a must as well if you running a bubble level or some form of...

    Woods Be Super Packed This Year

    WA draws came out a week ago, and since nobody drew crap, Im willing to bet Washingtonians caused a panic buy. This is coming from a WA guy that got screwed.

    Defund the Police?

    Seattle is the same way. Matter of fact, they have taken a small section of the city and barricaded themselves in with signs claiming 'Now Leaving USA'. Crazy times, I grab my popcorn nightly before I sit down and watch the news.

    WTB Vortex Razor gen 2 27-60X 85mm angled

    As title says, looking for a lightly used 27-60x 85mm gen 2 spotter, preferably angled. If you have one you are looking to get rid of or want to upgrade, shoot me a message. Thanks!

    Wiser Precision Trekking pole mount

    Was eager to read the reviews on these after everyone had a season to test them out. Sounds like everyone liked them so I just ordered me a set. Really liked the idea of the trekking poles serving as a rear rest in steep terrain! Found out last year that bipods dont work that great when there is...

    Tundra or Tahoe

    Never had a tahoe but had a 5.3 silverado which is just the truck version of it. Seemed to hold out fine till around 170k and then started to fall apart. Sold it, bought an 07 tundra with 70k with a canopy on it and proceeded to beat the crap out of it all over the west for hunts while sleeping...

    Wanting a new 7mm Mag Mountain Rifle (sub 7 lbs)

    I will second the Christensen mesa. I picked up the 7MM last spring, topped it with a boat anchor of a NightForce NXS (kind of eliminated the point of a light gun but wanted reliability) and it shoots consistently around half moa if i do my part with factory 162gr ELDX. Have taken it out to 700...
