    Are 8-inch boots tall enough?

    I've worn Danners' for probably the last 15 years and I always thought they were the end all, be all boots. That is until I switched over to Kennetrek. I wear the both the mountain extreme and the Alaskan Guide models depending on where I am hunting. Boots are like optics, buy the very best...

    Long range bullets for grizzly

    +1 on what LTLR said above. He is 110% right on. If you guide is of any quality, he/she will not even let you attempt a long range shot on a grizzly.

    Leica crf 1600 vs Leupold RX-1000 and other compact range finders

    I used to be a Leupold man and the good majority of my long guns still have Leupolds VX-III's on them. They make a good rifle scope and for a long time, they were the only ones to consider. But now, I think there are better options out there at the same price points and my financial situation...

    Leica crf 1600 vs Leupold RX-1000 and other compact range finders

    +1 on the Leupold range finders and the CRF 1600. I would go with the CRF 1600 hands down and don't look back. I am very happy with mine. I will probably use my Leupold as a target for revenge or hope somebody will steal it as long as they don't throw it back through my window.

    Weatherby Mark V Ultra Lightweight

    I picked up a NIB 300 Wby Ultra Lightweight off of gunbroker last year for $1100. Mine is a shooter and I haven't done anything to it other then working on the factor trigger. I would certainly recommend it for a high mountain hunt and you wanted something you could pack all day. Having...

    Who do you recommend - Gunsmith for Mark V donor action

    Crap, I got too many things on my mind. I asked this question about a year ago and some of the guys here gave me some good recommendations...I just forgot about it until now. I'll follow up on those leads and then go from there! Sorry for being an mindless idiot.....

    Who do you recommend - Gunsmith for Mark V donor action

    I've got a spare 30-378 Weatherby Stainless just sitting in one of my safes that I don't use any more. Its even got a brand new Mark 4 6.5-20x50 scope sitting on it. This used to be my go-to rifle, but I have since built another one in the same caliber and that is my go-to rifle now. It...

    Rangefinder for actual horizontal distance

    I am looking for the exact same thing. Only one reply? With all the long range shooters here, can somebody please state their opinion on a system like this. How are you adjusting for angles in your long range shooting? I have the one by Leupold (RX_IV if I remember correctly) and not happy...

    Sighting in

    Thanks for the response. So I take it is as easy as sighting in for the assumed conditions at altitude. I just wanted to get that verified. I'm off to Tajikistan for a marco polo hunt in a couple of months. Just received word that I'll be issued a CITIES permit in the next couple of weeks...

    Sighting in
