Anyone have an opinion on colors/method to paint a rifle to get close to the Mossy Oak color/pattern? I wear Mossy Oak in the field and want to paint my rifle to match me as closely as possible. I'm going to use Brownell's Aluma Hyde II. Here's the link so you can look at the colors and get...

Anyone here use this new angle compensating rangefinder? http://www.pentaxusa.com/news/news_display.cfm?pressid=146 It apparently has a "slope doper" built into it.

What is the average chest cavity depth on an elk? I did a load work up today on some Barnes XLC 180gr in .308. The most accurate load was a mid range charge that put the FPS at approx 2440. It shot well under an MOA. I did some research and found that Barnes-X bullets at that weight and...

I know this isnt exactly a hunting type question, but I though I might find someone with some experience in this: Anyone shoot 75gr amax in their AR15? I want to use Varget. Any recipes? Any cycling problems? Also, what are the published min/max loads for Varget? OAL? Trying to work up...

For those of you reloading amax, where did you find publication for reloading? I bought a load note book from Hornady that did not include amax, sst or any of the new stuff. (even though it advertised to) I asked about the full reloading manual at the gun shop, and was told it was not updated...

Does anyone here shoot a 178 gr Amax in .308? I am unable to get any publication for loading this bullet and I was wondering if someone would share their load recipe. Rifle is a Remington PSS .308 with a 26" barrel. I am using Varget powder.
