yeah that's it

There's a new browning out (or coming out?) that looks like its got a heavier receiver, and heavier barrel, and uses AICS magazines instead of the browning ones for more capacity. I'd be super keen on trying one of these out.

I wouldn't hesitate to use a 6.5 Creedmoor with an ELD-X at 300 yards as long as you had favorable conditions. A bit more punch is nice but if all you had was the creedmoor, I would just spend money on some practice.

We shot a couple of moose this season. It was British Columbia moose, middle of the province. They're a bit smaller than Alaskan moose. Both animals were taken with ELD-X bullets. One was at about 25 yards, was hit 3x with 6.5 PRC before it eventually went down. Not the most accurate shot...

This. Is. Wild. Many of my friends at my age (33) couldn't complete that. This is life goals. It's crazy what can be accomplished if you just stay active an maintain a fitness regiment.

I have a rear bag (cole-tac) with light weight fill. It's very reasonable in weight and works as both a rear bag and can sit on top of my tripod for non-prone shooting.

I try not to be petty but in that case that camp might not have been there when they got back either.

I have a vortex viper HST in 5-25x50. It's great but I think you can save a bit of weight with the 4-16x44 version

Tell that to the nurses in the ER...

I'm going to be on British Columbia a moose hunt in a few weeks. I'll be rocking a 6.5 creedmoor for deer, black bear, and moose. The ballistics being comparable to the swede gives me some confidence it will do the trick. I won't be taking any shots greater than 300m so we'll see what happens!

The GRND pod is a pretty sweet piece of kit for the price.

I've been looking for a good underquilt for my hennesy hammock so I can pull that off. They're very comfortable.

Welcome!

Most of them are gortex full waterproof shells. You'll have to read through but some do have a liner. I think those ones are either made for city walks or resort style skiing. Some of the other models are longer and have a different fit. They do have a huge catalog and don't do the best at...
