    Best stock rifle for under $1000?

    What you gonna hunt? Spot and stalk? Stand? Still hunt? Eastern flats? Western mountains? Etc. I hunt for deer and elk in the west. So, the lighter the better. However, that needs to be positioned against caliber/recoil. So, a Rem model 7 in 7mm-08 with a 24" thin barrel, is pretty good when...

    Sleeping bag advice for spike camping

    Lotsa good advice. Here's my 2 cents: If your're sleeping on a cot, that tells me your sleeping in a tent where you drive to. So, weight isn't an issue.
