Silky Saw Gomboy Outback - Took care of a moose and elk with pretty good ease. Also cleared a sketchy section out in a goat hunting spot. Highly recommend these saws.
Nightforce NXS Compact 2.5-10x42 Mil-R - I’ve played musical scopes since I’ve started hunting and the overall size, weight and package of this little guy is a scope I keep gravitating back to for my general purpose rifles. They just work. This is even comparing to having a baby atacr and 4-32 nx8 to compare it to. I don’t feel like I need a massive scope to get the job done. Only improvement they could have is a capped windage but I’ve yet to bump my windage out in the field even on long trips with this scope.
RSS - won a 223 tikka the other year and put it into a rokstock this summer. Been trying to put down rounds off the bench as much as I can and at this point it’s my most shot rifle. Fun as heck to shoot rocks. Highly highly highly recommend buying a tikka 223 and a flat of cheap 223/556 and just getting out to practice and shoot.
Kimber 280ai with 162 ELD-X - whatever I hunt I can with confidence grab this rifle and get the job done. I do not feel under gunned with it with what I primarily hunt. The more time goes on the ELD-X is a murderous bullet with no issues of penetration. It’s a messy bullet but it kills. It’s a bullet I tend to be gravitating towards for all my rifles.
