Selling a swarovski stx 65mm. Bought new from eurooptic 2 years ago. Taken on a few hunts, outside is a little dusty but the rubber is still in really great shape with no scratches or gouges. Glass is immaculate with zero scratches. Both warranty cards are in the boxes, not filled out. $2850...
I had to do this on a recent trip. Worked great in a badger gws with temps dropping to the low 40s. To my defense, i woke up sweating in this bag on a 17* night.
I keep binos, rangefinder, 2 spare bullets, lense cloth, 3 x hand wipes, havalon, spare blades, blade tool, license and tags, and a headlamp. Just enough to be legal if I want to drop my pack and chase and animal. Also enough to get started with the animal.
I have a spare set of the matching low 34mm rings. I had an ATACR mounted, but ditched it because of the bulk. I'd let em go pretty cheap if you're interested.
I drove from Wasilla to the mile 80-ish of the steese yesterday. Nelchina herd had a few stragglers by the hwy around Healy. steese was blowing snow, drifting, and generally crappy vis. I saw no sig n of caribou. my plan was to snowshoe Eagle summit, but it was closed. I didn't even see any...
I ran a fixed 10x for one season in Kansas. Practiced shooting from 100-300 yds all summer. Ended up shooting my last KS whitetail at 60yds. 10x got it done, but lower mag would have made life easier at that moment.
I used my ATACR 4-16x42 with tremor 3 reticle for caribou this past year. Distance was 128 meters. I switched it to my 300 win mag and plan to use it this upcoming season.
My preference for 34mm rings is badger. I have tried the NF and didn't care for them. I run a 1 piece badger mount on my AR with a 4-16 ATACR and regular badger rings and base on my Rem 700 with 5-25 ATACR. The really cool kids are using Spuhr mounts though.
Hello, I'm a gun collector turned whitetail hunter from Kansas originally. I got moved to Alaska about 2 years ago. I've had 2 successful Caribou hunts and been skunked on 2 moose seasons and 2 bear seasons so far. I started out as a road hunter when I got to Alaska and my hunting buddy has been...
My preference is a 77gr SMK in an 18" 1/7 twist. Obviously shot placement is key. Significant meat damage on the whitetail I took (lunged). Headshot a Caribou at 128 yards, dropped immediately. just know where your rifle hits with that specific load and don't take a shot in the field that you...
