Looking to replace my Blaser K95 in 7x65R with something stainless. Had a look at a secondhand Sako Finnlight and liked what I saw and felt - well made and relatively light. It´s a shooter. Would the caliber be ok for Dall Sheep? I´ll use it for caribou, chamois and tahr for now...

Leica Camera AG - Sport Optics - Geovid Here are the news in print at Leicas!

I´ve been over a few times, and those sand flies are really bad sometimes. totally forgot to put it on the list... That´s a necessity!!

Thanks for the link, but I´m already at that forum. It@s great by the way! I reckon the more hard-core backpackhunters would be here, but might be wrong, there are many keen kiwis backpacking into hunting grounds.

I'm planning a solo hunt in the southern alps may-june 2013. hunting will mainly be for Tahr, but also Chamois. Looking into a trip of 4 weeks, hopefully able to pull off two full week trips of hunting. One fly-in, and one walk-in. West and east coast. Gear have to be able to withstand severe...

Now I have landed on the final solution for my 2013 New Zealand Tahr and Chamois expedition: Bought the Hilleberg Nallo 2GT in stead of the Akto. My sleeping system is then: Hilleberg Nallo 2 GT 2750gram Exped Down Mat 3/4 640gram Sir Joseph Koteka 850 down bag (800cui) 1250 gram...

Finally found what I was looking for: HC075-01_LEATHER_EUROPEAN STYLE RIFLE GUN SLING_3/4" WIDE_adj. 30" to 42" | eBay "Old style" for narrow sling swivels.

I'm looking for a narrow light riflesling, preferably of leather. Want a sling that dig into the clothing. The rifle has rather narrow sling swivels.. (Blaser K95) Any advices are greatly appreciated.

It's really a 50/50 provided you go either a moa reticle with moa adjustments, OR mil-dot/MLR with mRad adjustments. Americans are born and raised with inches, so if you know that best - stick with it. For the rest of us from overseas, that work in 1/10, it's way easier with mRad. I see a...

Thanks all for the advices! I've decided to skip the two person tent, and go for a Hilleberg Akto. I want a double wall construction with innertent. That model has proven itself over and over again in alpine environment. Pretty light to!

I couldn't find this model - sheephunter. Which model is it? I've tried the Kayland Apex Rock and MXD on, and they fit well, but I am worried about durability because of all the seams and exposed softer areas.. The Kenetrek, preferably the Desert Hunter, would be my choice if they were...

I've had a look at the suggestions - have a few questiones about the Big Agnes Copper Spur UL2: The Joined bowes, Are they as durable as the continous bows (hilleberg et al) in heavy winds? Is the vestibule big enough to cook in? 1,7kg all up is tempting.

This is how I think of the matter: If I get a very good down- bag, I have at least 700grams-1kg extra for a better tent - ie I could go for the Nallo 2GT and have a spacious vestibule even when hunting alone. I spent 48hours in a small tent in very bad wind and rain in NZ ten years ago - at...

Which 1-2p tent for backpacking in alpine environment? I'm hunting in alpine areas, which occassionaly gets high winds, maybe a dump of snow and I still want a very light tent. the condotions are comparable with Alaska I'd say - it is the Norwegian high-country, and the Southern Alps in New...
