    Kilo5k vs RX-5000 vs HD 4000 Rangefinder

    I had a RX-5000 and returned it and got the 5K. The 5K has much better built in ballistics support in my opinion. Comes with Applied Ballistics Light (can be upgraded to Applied Ballistics at cost) and you can create specific bullet profiles on an app that get downloaded to the 5K. The 5K has...

    Rifle holder Pack attachemnt

    I have not, but I put a piece of foam between the rifle and rifle holder strap. I did this to prevent stock scratches and it's worked great and is snug.

    Boots for Wide Feet

    I have Crispi Lapponia's in wide and Salomon Mid GTX's in wide, and both are working for my wide feet. I did try on Merrell's (not sure what model an if they were specifically wides), but they were too wide. That may be an option for super wide feet.

    Switching to Tennis Shoes / Trail Runners from Mountaineering Boots.

    I have Lapponias and like them a lot. However, I have been transitioning to a Salomon Mid GTX and using them more. They come in wide which I find I need. They are a possible transition shoe for someone going from boots to trail runners.

    Alpha Hunting Scope

    I forgot to mention that I like the 2.5-10x24 because it is 17 ounces. Not a huge deal compared to the 2.5-10x42, but it should also have more mounting flexibility due to the straight/straighter objective. The 2.5-10x42 is short and I could just barely make it work on my Win 70 long action.

    Alpha Hunting Scope

    I don't know how the NXS and NX8 glass compare. I do have the NXS 2.5-10x42 and it is really nice glass for my purpose, which sound similar to yours

    Alpha Hunting Scope

    Nightforce NXS 2.5-10x24 would be my choice, or the 2.5-10x42. I'm hoping to get one myself after saving enough $s.

    Rifle holder Pack attachemnt

    I know it's a different pack but the Exo rifle carrier on the K4 pack has worked great. Not so much as a quick release setup for me, but as a solid secure way to carry a rifle. Stays secure slinging the pack on and off. I think the elastic on the pouch that hols the buttstock is the key.

    Compact binos?

    I have used the GPO 8x32 mentioned earlier. I found them to be great and bought mine on another forum for $290 (a new warranty replacement). Very happy with them.

    Best Harness.

    I am using a Hill People Gear kit bag with an added bino pouch. Allows for concealed carry and bino carry with room for the phone too. It can get a bit heavy depending on the handgun and binos being carried.

    Oregon 17 Points, Steens, Wait for N Werner?

    Great looking antelope! Congrats. I got my first this year too. It was really fun spot and stalk hunting.

    Torn - Sig or Leupold RF

    I purchased a Leupold RX-5000. It ranged great but has horrible ballistics support. The provided ballistic groups are only good if you zero at 200 yds. Customer support was no help addressing my use of a 100 yard zero range. I returned it and bought a Sig 5K (the same price as the Leupold). It...

    The perfect hunting scope.

    I haven't read through every post so not sure if the Trijicon Credo 2.5-10x36 has been mentioned. Not sure why it is 0.1 ounce heavier than the 2.5-15x42 but it is a FFP scope.

    Crispi Laponia vs Altidude/nevada

    I have the Lapponia 2 and also the Nevadas. Never tried the Altitude. For me, both the Lapponias and Nevadas are equally comfortable, but the lighter weight and flex of the Lapponias really is nice and less fatiguing. If the terrain is really rocky and uneven (like a trail with lots of golf...
