Check out ebay. There are several good external frame packs out there. I have recently picked up a couple of Dana Design Loadmaster packs for a pretty good price. The cheapest was about $75. Popular opinion is, it's the best most comfortable external frame ever made. I put 80 lbs in one of mine...

Once used Sitka 4500 CI pack. I used this pack on one 4 day hunt. Pack out 2 bucks and it worked great. Only problem, I realized that it was too short for my torso (6'2"). The pack has not rips, tears, or blemmishes. Check out the Sitka gear website for more info. It's an extremely well made...

My 0 degree Kifaru Slick bag is very warm althoough I haven't been able to try it down to 0. It is light and compresses almost as well as a similarly rated down bag. I am very satisfied. As a matter of fact, it seems almost too warm in most cases. JMHO and I don't claim to be an expert.

I am looking for a Loadmaster Shortbed, T1, Freighter, or just the frame. If anyone has one and is willing to part with it I'm interested. PM me or better yet email at [email protected].

Thanks for the replies fellas. I am about to put a down payment on a custom. The only problem, I am still having problems deciding the caliber. The 300 Winch seems like a nice caliber. I've seen some remarkable accuracy with this one, but will it fulfill my need for power? I like the 300...

Cabelas Euros are nice. I used one this season and they are comparable to Swaros. Not quite as clear, but for the money they are great. I am looking forward to trying out the Vortex Kaibab coming out this spring. 15X56 for about $1200.

Dskiper, I looked at rebarrelling my weatherby but found out that my stock won't accept a larger contour. I guess the ultralight weatherby's have their own specific stock. It also sounds like the Mark V action are a pain for gunsmiths to work on, so I was planning on a Rem 700 action or a...

Thanks for the responses. I have looked at the sendero and read many posts praising it as a great off the shelf rifle. The price is appealing too. On the other hand, having a rifle built to my specs is very appealing regardless of the price. Hell, I never could leave my early broncos alone...

I am planning on having a custom rifle built. Took a nice little blacktail at 740 yards in October with a friends .300 Jarrett. Now the long range bug has bitten me. I would like a 30 cal that I can shoot with factory ammo though. I haven't started handloading yet, but plan to. My problem is...

I clicked on a link on monstermuleys.com. I was simply amazed by the amount of technical knowledge floating around here. Great site.
