The 7 PRC is awesome. The 6.5 PRC is incredible. If the current 6.5 PRC is shooting well, I wouldn't mess with it. You mentioned primarily deer. IMO, the 6.5 PRC is among the best deer cartridges ever created. Just my opinion, but I'd stick with the 6.5 PRC (assuming it's shooting well), and if...

You didn't hear it from me, but Gunwerks' new Titanium 6IX suppressor will be about as light and compact as they come. Details coming in the next week or so. https://www.gunwerks.com/shop/category/suppressors-38

I've yet to have a pair crack. But I've had lots of sunglasses scratch. Good to know on their warranty, though!

Negligible effect on bullet travel with rain or snow at any reasonable difference (say, out to 1,000yds). Water in your barrel or water in your chamber would have more effect with pressure differences. Keep your muzzle taped and action sealed off and you're good to go. As others have...

Costa Del Mar with the glass lenses are my go-to. Don't scratch nearly as bad as polycarbonate. They ain't cheap and it's pretty painful when you leave a pair on a glassing point (just did it this last weekend), but to me, they're essential gear. My grandfather spent the last 20+ years of his...

As important as a rear rest is in shooting anything very far, I refuse to carry a dedicated rear bag for any backcountry hunting. Preferably, as much of my gear as possible serves multiple purposes. I ALWAYS have a down puffy jacket in my pack that I keep stuffed in a small nylon drawstring bag...

If you want the best of both worlds (keep the ballistic turret for quick shots, and still have perfect solutions regardless of elevation and temperature changes), take a look at the Revic BR4 Ballistic Rangefinder. It's made by Gunwerks. There's a "shoot to range" mode built in that's designed...

I've been using the TSN-553 for several years for backpack hunting. Highly recommended where cutting weight is essential! It'll never replace my Swaro ATX, but for about half the weight, it definitely has its place for backpack hunts! I hadn't seen the little Celestron Hummingbiurd scope (just...

Ideally, you mount a ARCA rail on the stock of your rifle and you can connect that directly to the head on the Revic tripod. This is the cleanest method. Alternatively, like you mentioned, a Hog Saddle can be screwed on and then clamp to the forend of pretty much any rifle.

The RRS tripods are exceptional. That being said, you could own 3 or 4 of the Revic setups for the same price. I really like the versatility of having the larger Revic Hunter tripod for super stability and the Revic Backpacker tripod for when I need to keep things light and compact. Total owning...

Yes. It has 2 wind modes you can use in tandem. It provides a constant, full value "Base Wind" that can be set to whatever you want (I usually do a 5mph or 10mph). This works really well for quick wind solutions on the fly. It gives you a drop solution and a wind hold every time you get a range...

I've been back and forth on the same subject the last few years. I really like the idea of having a rangefinder and ballistics in my binoculars, but it seems like everything I've found you give some capability within the binoculars, either no wind solutions, poorer ranging capability, less than...

The Revic BR4 is a little north of that price point, but absolutely solid choice. It programs via Bluetooth, but you don't need any connection after that. You can even true profiles in the device if needed.

@Salmonmoocher12 it looks like the E1011 was sold as a Gen 1 refurbished model. Obviously still a great unit if it's in good working order and you don't need MILs (Gen 1 was MOA & Shoot To Range only). But I would definitely recommend considering the new BR4 model rangefinder. Way smaller and...

The 168 Berger VLD seems to be a really great match for the 7SAUM. That's what I settled on for my primary load for my recent 7SAUM build. The 180 Berger Hybrid is also a great choice. Little less velocity, but it will outrun the 168 around 800yds. I've heard good things about the 162 ELDM for...
