    Question about Sitka clothing

    I just got it. The medium seems to fit me well it doesn’t seem as thick as I thought it would be but I really won’t know until I try it out in the cold. The quality seems very good though

    Question about Sitka clothing

    Thanks for those very informative answers. One last question, the camo pattern for the Stratus is intended for people up in a tree. Does that mean it doesn’t work if you’re sitting on the ground? Because I know they sell a different camo for ground walking. That is a major flaw if you can’t use...

    Question about Sitka clothing

    BF, I usually sit in the woods where it’s a bit warmer, and I’ll use some hand warmers in pockets , etc. the Walls coveralls aren’t perfect, and they aren’t as easy to walk around in. would the stratus jacket and bibs, together, be warmer than Walls insulated coveralls?

    Question about Sitka clothing

    I’ve been looking at the Stratus jacket and bibs, and the Incinerator jacket and bib. I had an opportunity to try the incinerator clothing and they were very warm, but very pricey while still on sale. I’m curious if anyone can tell me the temp rating for the Stratus line i usually just wear a...

    Question about Sitka clothing

    Thanks for that bit of information. My only hesitation is to spend that kind of money site unseen. There is a bass pro shop near me which I think is one of their retailers. I should really take a trip over there and see what they have. I’m thinking that they probably don’t have much of an...

    Long range bullets that will penetrate up close without blowing up.

    I can give my limited experience. 308, 168 gr Nosler LRAB : 1st: medium buck at about 60 yds, enter through front left chest, exit through right rib cage. Exit hole big enough to drop a baseball into. Deer fell over instantly, dead after this incident, I decided to switch ammo, but we went...

    Anyone know what bullet is used in federal new terminal ascent?

    If anyone’s still following this thread, the terminal ascent ammo is readily available now. I bought some in 308 and 30-06 but haven’t had the time to go to the range

    Has anyone tried the federal TLR?

    This happens to be the most accurate bullet in my rifle, in 308. It is a 175 grain bullet. I recently bought about 10 boxes and now it turns out that federal is discontinuing the TLR and coming out with an upgraded bullet called the ascent or something like that. Has anyone ever used the TLR for...
