    Red Dot Recommendations for Muzzy?

    Looking to put a red dot on my muzzloader Thinking of an enclosed unit with a 1 or 2 MOA dot size. Already have a pic rail in my muzzy, so mounting is easy, Was looking at the Leupold Freedom RDS, but was thinking of trying to get a reticle with a hold over or two for shooting past 100 yards...

    FFP scope reticle thickness issues

    I have a heavy barreled rifle range toy that will see some hunting use, and after having a 4-20 Meopta in SFP on it, I decided to try a first focal plane scope, Vortex Strike Eagle 5-25. The cross hairs are so thin on my Vortex that at 200 yards and beyond I can’t see them, the target washes...

    Limited rotation QD base options?

    Looking for some limited rotation QD bases for hollow plastic stock, to my surprise I am just finding GrovTech GTHM198 which is full rotation. I am not real particular on the exact amount of rotation, somewhere in the 45 deg -180 deg range should be fine. Any other suppliers that make...

    Looking to get tooled on the action and barrel wrench/vice department. Mostly for Tikka and savage 110.

    Favorite Possible Bag?

    I keep items for an immediate reload in a stock pack, but I want a possible bag to keep in my backpack that is better organized with my other muzzy tools and such. What are people's favorites? Looking at the kifaru possible pullout at the moment. I like the fact they have three compartments.

    Pack Goats and Bad Weather?

    Been working with some pack goats and it's been going pretty well, but given I am relatively new to goats I am not sure how tolerate they are of bad weather. So pack goat people, what conditions that concern you and what do you do about it? 34 deg and rain? below 10 deg F? Bring a tarp for...

    Bore Sighter?

    What laser (or other) bore sight do you guys like? Looking for something that goes from 22 to 50 cal, and 20 and 12 gauge would be a bonus. I used to just have the range do it when I mount a scope, but ranges are closed around here and I have been shooting out in the woods more. It would be...

    Crispi Wild Rock GTX Plus Liner Thickness?

    I bought a pair of Crispi Wild Rock GTX plus 800 gram insulated boots for mid season. Something for late Oct – Nov where I don’t quite need Sorel’s for warmth and I still want to be able to climb mountains. They arrived and I like most everything about them, but one thing has me concerned...

    In the market for a new compact spotter

    For the last quite a few years I have run a Nikon ED 50 with a MCII eye piece for my spotting scope and loved it. It started fogging up internally so I sent it in to get repaired/replaced in July. Historically I have had good luck with Nikon customer service, but not this time. They refused to...

    Dogs for pack animals?

    I have been working with my friends pack goats for about the last year with a reasonable amount of success. It’s become clear that as I am getting older I am going to have to rely on something like this. My days of hauling a 150lb pack 15-20 miles are behind me now. While the pack goats have...

    New scope recommendations for old man eyes

    Looking for a new scope for my dad’s Tikka T3. His current scope has really finicky eye relief and needs something with quicker target acquisition. Quick target acquisition, 3 or 4x on the bottom, and 15x+ on the top end. He also likes BDC redicals. I can’t convince him to spend the money on...

    Looking for a new 9-12 day pack

    Looking for a new pack for early to mid-season mule deer backpack hunts that are generally 9-12 days solo. I currently have a kifaru duplex timberline 7200 with a duplex frame, and I like it, but there are two things I would like differently: -When loaded over 65lbs it chafes the small of my...

    Corrosion resistant CVA Accura sights?

    Looking to get set of new sights for my CVA Accura MR. I want a peep or ghost ring for the rear and a globe (like the Lyman) with insert for the front. The problem is I hunt in our coastal rainforest so anything but stainless and aluminum rusts instantly. Does anyone offer anything in...

    Tikka action screws

    I know there are a fair number of Tikka owners on here. Something that’s been bugging me with the action screw head size. My T-25 Torx bit is sloppy (but sort of works) but the T-27 is too big. The aftermarket action stainless steel action screws I bought have the same tool size it seems...

    Beef gelatin

    Anyone bring and use beef gelatin powder to increase the protein of their freeze dried meals? I always struggle getting enough protein in the backcountry, and while I will add whey powder and powdered eggs to many of my meals to boost them up they quite often don't work well with many dinners...

    Lightweight rangefinder recommendations?

    I am looking to replace my Nikon 550 rifle hunter (7.6oz) with a newer unit with a little more range. So far I have found the Vortex 1500 is about the same weight with a great range, and many of the others I have looked at in this class are heavier. Any other recommendations? Would always love...

    Flavored Cream Cheese Packets

    Does anyone have a source to buy the 1oz creams cheese packets in strawberry flavor (or others). I get the Philadelphia original flavor in a 50 count package from Costco, but would love to add other flavors to my pack. Thanks!

    Looking for a new UL bivy sack...

    I currently run a bora side zip bivy, and I like it a lot, but I want a change. My Bora is an ultra-light bivy (about 7oz) with a bug net that goes over your head. I wanted to get a real similar bivy sack, but instead of a bug net I want something with a drawstring that closes up around my...
