I finally decided to move to a smaller backpack for 1-2 day hunts. A 30 liters one will be perfect. I looked at various similar models, from Savotta Jaakari M to tasmanian tiger mil ops 30 and finally i discovered the military side of Berghaus, which i didn't know. The heros 35, which seems to...
I have seen them, yes. It looks a bit overkill for my applications. But at this point i am considering quad sticks (plus a separate lighteright tripod for camera) since people on a uk forum claim prone-like stability from standing.. i still can't believe this honestly
Hi everyone, i was asking a couple informations about a vanguard tripod on a british hunting forum and basically everyone suggested me quad sticks (especially the ones from Blaser or Viper flex) over any kind of bipod, claiming that these quad sticks (which weight less than 2 lbs) can give...
I have also a bipod, wouldn't the arca system interfere with it? Also, i think that, since the rifle would be zhot from the tripod for max 200 yards shots, maybe a faster shooting head like a rest (without the necessity to do anything other than restino the rifle over it) could be a more...
Probably i didn't explain myself well.. i want a tripod i can swap heads of, going from a hunting-shooting head (which i would keep as the main one) to a camera mounting head
The ascent looks like a good choice, it's also pretty lightweight but there are no saddle heads, only clamps with their (proprietary?) system. Maybe i can use a head of a different brand?
Hi everyone, i always kept 2 different tripods: one for shooting (bog havoc, which is very simple but worked well for me) and one for camera selfshots (a very light and small amazon one, it folds in and i keep it in the backpack). Now i decided to buy a single tripod with the possibility to use...
Yeah, someone says it takes a lot of rounds to really break in a barrel but actually i didn't mean that for me the only mechanical break in takes 200 rounds. After 100-200 rounds you usually get a little more velocity and you have the greater accuracy the rifle can deliver but, in this case...
I think barrel life is something to consider. If you have a 1000 rnds barrel life when the barrel is broke in you are already at 20% of its optimal life. If you practice a bit at the range with your hunting rifle or if you do some load developement, zero check after hunts and after your rifle...
It depends on what younare looking for. Thougher bullet gives you more margin with quartering shots, when you have to pierce a shoulder blade. You will have runners with traditional shots (usually not more than 50 yards with a good shot) but there should be a decent blood trail to follow. With...
I am talking about public land.. people without the need to work regularly and people with a lot of money pay for hunting reserves and they can get many more animals, hundreds. Going to the reserve for me is not real hunting though, i don't like it
Some other hunters don't do very well, most of them actually. They are lazy and often shoot from the car. Some of us have good success, mainly who stalks deer in the wilderness. We can take more than 30 animals per year between roes, fallow deer, boars, chamois etc :)
