    Lost ballistic profiles Leica Geovid Pro

    Fired up the binos and the app this spring after about 4 months and all my rather ammunition costly ballistic profiles are no where to be found.. Leica has been radio silent.. Anyone else experience this or refind their profiles?

    6.5 grendel or .223 for training target rifle 300-700yds

    Im looking for a lower recoiling, heavy barreled rifle option to get a couple more rounds downrange while my hunting rigs are cooling down between shots (my 300 win howa gets burning hot after 5 shots and starts stringing bad, and takes 15 minutes to cool back down). Instead of twiddling my...

    SOLD/EXPIRED ORYX Precision Rifle Chassis-Howa 1500/Vanguard Long Action

    This chassis was a big upgrade over the hogue stock that came with my Howa which was really flexible. With a free floated barrel with just factory torque specs this chassis tightened groups up significantly. Paid $420. For sale $300 shipped via paypal and Ill throw in 2 magpul .300 win AICS Mags...

    Spotting scope vs 15x56 binoculars

    In big country it can be hard to confirm points/size or even if there are other animals around with 15x. 30x+ from a spotter can also find game on an entirely different mountain or basin. They are different tools. But swaro 15s are **** near the zenith for pure game finding in most western...

    Dont feed the trolls.

    I agree, just now starting to see some reasonable ammo prices (not in my calibers) but still....if we dont pay what the scalpers are pricing it at, it will help!

    Best pack for mountain hunting

    Badlands and eberlestock make good packs but are not the best at heavy load packouts...ie anything over 80lbs for a mile or longer. Kifaru was the beat gear purchase ive made and I can now pack out a full mule deer. Do that with a badlands and youll be flirting with nerve damage or compressed disks.

    How many days to do a hunt justice?

    Depends on the kind of terrain, if its early season elk in CO, even if you're in tip top mtn shape, 5 days of bombing up and down the hills all day will do in most folks and you can usually find aninals and get an opportunity in that period of time if youre an experienced hunter. I like 2 days...

    School me on chassis stocks

    The oryx was a relatively affordable addition to my howa. $400 about 4lbs. Went from shooting ok groups with the occasional flyer with the cheap flexible hogue stock to significantly tighter groups, helped with recoil mgmt and triggerhand wrist position. Love shooting it prone and helped me...

    Kifaru Nomad 2 pack

    Yes I have both the guide lid and the grabit. I usually dont use the guide lid unless its a cold late season hunt and I'm bringing the stove extra insulation. The grab it is a good addition too.

    Kifaru Nomad 2 pack

    I have had the Nomad for about 5 seasons and its the bomb. I purchased an ultralite mtn research 40 L dry bag to use when backpacking with for the sleep system. Once I leave camp I have a tight(non sagging) daypack that I can carry out a whole mule deer with. Never have to worry about bloodying...

    What in-line muzzleloader would you recommend, and why ?

    CVA Accura V2 has been great for me. Id like to look into the adjustable rear williams peep to stretch it out in CO.
