FWIW I ended up ordering the new Chugach TR set in 2XL despite hearing that Kuiu stuff should always be ordered a size up. I am 6'3", 250 lbs and normally wear a 2XL shirt (sometimes an XLT because I have a long torso and arms) and 40/42 pants. This was my first Kuiu product ever, so I was...
Over the summer I ordered/tried on 4 different pairs of Meindls. Two sizes each of the Vakuum Hunters and the Comfort Fit Extreme. I normally wear a size 14 or 13W, so after calling them I ordered the 13 and 12 wides. The 13's were much too big, and no matter what I tried with the smaller ones I...
I met this designer/owner of the company while camping this past spring. We spent a couple days hanging out, drinking scotch and he let us try out this system. It was a nifty little package and takes up virtually no space/weight. The adjustability up/down is super easy and smooth with the 12x50...
It's not entirely carbon fiber, but for $1,000 you can get into a Howa HS Precision, and those stocks are pretty damn nice. Also a wider range of caliber selection.
I really like a lot of the features of this Springfield, but think that they need to get down into that $1k range to really be...
It is an older Tikka T3 Laminated Stainless with 24" barrel and 11" ROT. I have also added a Witt clamp-on muzzle brake which extends the barrel a couple more inches.
I have been forced to look for a new factory ammo for my .300 WSM due to availability. I currently shoot Winchester Ballistic Silvertip, 180 gr on deer/elk and have been nothing but satisfied in accuracy and bullet/knockdown performance. All of my shots would be under 400 yards.
Looking around...
The reason I didn't notice I only had 6 rounds is because I had two boxes in my ammo cabinet, but for some dumb reason I put a box of empties in there last time I shot it (last sight-in season). I didn't touch the rifle again, because I used a different gun last year. I would use it this year...
The 150 gr is completely different ballistics and not as heavy-hitting for elk, like I like. The Winchester is the only ammo I've ever put through this gun and it performs magnificently. I would hate to spend $40-60 on a different ammunition to sight it in/practice, then only have to switch back.
300 WSM, Winchester Ballistic Silvertip, 180 gr.
The stuff is non-existent! I have searched everywhere around me, online, etc and no luck. I even contacted Winchester to see if they would be producing more soon, and just got a canned response back. I thought that I had two boxes, but I was...
Pretty much the standard chops, steaks, burger, roasts. I never have anything added to my ground meat, as I prefer to do that myself if I want (like when making sausage). We have our standard meals we do with each cut.
For roasts I like bbq shredded venison in the crockpot. You can make...
This thread has been very entertaining and just got done reading all 27 pages! I have never had any real sort of paranormal/extraterrestrial experience, despite attempting to seek one out. I do have two lion stories though.
1. A couple years after moving to Idaho, the wife and I are camping in...
Yeah, I am starting to think that one pair of gaiters isn't going to do it all. The Kenetrek Hikers for short boots and early season, and a taller/thicker gaiter for later season/big game/tall boots.
Are the Kenetrek Hikers essentially just a shorter version of their Hunting gaiters? Or are...
Yeah, that is the part I was most concerned about–velcro. There are some gaiters out there with zippers, but most seem to use a velcro system. I know velcro on other parts of my gear gets loaded up with debris, and the soft part of the velcro can get "fuzzed out".
Walking through all that...
