Tried it in my Kimber 280 AI and didn't get good results, but this gun is VERY temperamental

After I got my unit I did some research and I bought an MK sight, Labradar battery pack, built the modified sawhorse w/pan head, trigger and an Amazon padded backpack to carry the unit. I use the sawhorse stand, pan head, backpack and MK sight on every trip to the range. In my opinion the...

Been hunting elk in CO for 20 years and never needed a bipod. For me camp shoes are a must and any slip on shoes work for me. It is a real pain wearing boots around camp, especially when relieving yourself at night. I bring two sets of boots, one pair of heavy duty hikers (Kenetrek, Crispis)...

I was in the military then (2004) and my best hunting buddy was stationed in Fairbanks for 12 years. Went to Valdez twice and shot three bears in Jack Bay just past The Narrows. Stayed in a state park cabin close to Shoup Bay glacier. Our "guide" was a local guy that was friends with my...

I always carry a small tarp and 550 cord in my day pack when elk hunting. I mainly carry it to use as a clean area for staging meat in game bags after skinning, quartering and deboning an animal. It also comes in handy as a tent vestibule, emergency shelter or blanket etc. I agree that a...

Try to get to your hunting altitude 3-5 days prior to your hunt if possible. Altitude sickness doesn't effect everyone the same but it could ruin your hunt if you overdo it before acclimating to the altitude. Do some research on it before coming out here so you will be prepared. I have seen...

I have had good luck in Valdez harbor AK. Jack Bay is where we shot our bears in the spring. There are a lot of bears out there and the terrain is pretty steep. Morning an evening the bears come out on shore to feed. The best part is having an excuse to go to Alaska!

Rtic coolers are much cheaper just as good and support the NRA

I have fit medium size bulls and large cows into 120/150 qt coolers. Key for me is de-boning the meat. The bones are heavy to pack out and more importantly they hold a lot of heat. The meat also fits in coolers better off the bone. I butcher my own animals so this isn't an issue for me but I...

I'll take it, thanks!

In interested If you still have it

Badlands Bino XR works great for me but it is $$$. Try this link, they tested a bunch of the cases. https://freerangeamerican.us/bino-harness-test/

It looks like this sawhorse has been modified. How much legenth did you cut off the legs? I bought the Craftsman sawhorse similar to this one and it was a little tall so I cut about 7 inches off each leg.

Just ordered it from Midway.

Do most of my load work from the bench so I ordered the tripod, sight and trigger reccomended by Axl as well as a laptop backpack to carry everything. Probably add that arca clamp as well. I didn't think those small tripods would support the LR but I guess I was wrong. I like the idea of the...
