    Synthetic or Down bag?

    I've used a 0 degree synthetic bag from Kifaru and a 0 degree Western Mountaineering bag and I will never use anything other than the WM MF Badger and MF Kodiak that I have. The kifaru bag was great and I had no issues with it but I just feel more comfortable and sleep a bit warmer in the WM...

    FMJs - any downsides?

    I use FMJ's for practice and hunting. I am also a big fan of a heavy arrow and my arrows are 500gr total with 125 iron wills. I also like the feeling and sound of launching a 500gr arrow over a 430ish or 460ish weight range from my carbon defiant 34. I have damaged one arrow in the last 4-ish...

    WTS Fully Loaded Kifaru Reckoning and 26" hunter frame w/ medium belt

    The composite stays have a slight curve and are meant for a normal back. If you want to make it straight, I believe you can remove the composite stays and put carbon fiber arrows in for a perfectly flat frame. I would ask kifaru to be sure though but I’ve read about plenty of people doing that...

    WTS Fully Loaded Kifaru Reckoning and 26" hunter frame w/ medium belt

    I could do $340 TYD for the frame. I will consider splitting it up if I find a home for the frame and bag.

    Thunder beast

    Can anyone comment on the recoil reduction between the ultra 5, 7, and 9? I’m considering one of these mainly for the ability to sight my shots without the added noise of a brake.

    Special Edition Barrett Fieldcraft models...

    I just saw these too. They look like a sweet rifle for the money. I’m wondering if 22” would be too long for someone to want to put on a can? I see most people who run cans seem to have 16-20” barrels. I’d seriously consider one of these if I didn’t have my heart set on a 6.5 PRC for my next rifle.

    Best 10mm models

    I get the Glock smiley on rounds with low recoil buffalo bore copper ammo. Perhaps the higher pressure is related to the flat nose of the bullet rather than due to the bullets being hardcast?

    Stiff or flexible boots: what do you prefer?

    I started light and ended up heavy and stiff. I have used train running shoes, Lowa renegades, Lowa tibets and lowa tibets hi. I hands down prefer the lowa tibet hi's. The trail running shoes and lowa renegades were adequate for backpacking alone but if you are in areas with a lot of incredibly...

    breathable gore-tex alternative

    I am running the tibet Hi's but I had the regular tibets before this and had the same issues. I prefer the Hi's as they fit and flex much better above the ankle when hiking in steep terrain. I've been using leukotape and benzoine tincture to mitigate any heel rub when my feet sweat. I also...

    breathable gore-tex alternative

    I currently have a pair of Lowa Tibets that work amazing for all rifle seasons when the temperature drops. During the summer and archery season, my feet sweat in them like crazy. I am considering trying non-goretex boots or possibly eVent lined boots, which eVent is supposed to be able to...

    What brake for 300 win mag?

    That makes sense. I assumed that you would feel more percussion as the sound is directed back at the shooter but you brought up a good point about there potentially being other factors. That's an interesting experience with the vais radial brake. That makes me think you can't really determine...

    Manners MCS-EH1 vs. MCS-T

    Thanks for the replies. Sounds like I can't go wrong with either and I will need to get my hands on both of them to see what feels best to me and my style of hunting. Do you have a link to their ultralight cheek piece? I couldn't find anything searching online

    Manners MCS-EH1 vs. MCS-T

    I am looking to get one of these stocks and I can't decide between these two for a LR rig. Hoping to get my hands on them soon to see how they feel but I wanted to know what others thought about the two choices. I will be using the elite fill with no lop/comb adjustments. Which would you get...

    Muskeg vs Reckoning

    I love my reckoning. Water bladder hangs on the outside of the bag between the bag and frame. I have a low profile 3L Source wlps that works great and doesn't put much pressure on the bladder so I don't have to worry about it exploding. The main bag is plenty big for me archery through 4th...
