    Barney's Freighter Frame

    I was in Barney’s sometime in the past 12 months (don’t want to get the guy in trouble) and was talking packs with the salesman. I was interested in the SG. He pointed me to the Barney’s and we got into a discussion about heavy hauling packs. I told him I sold my Barney’s and was using Kifaru...

    ID this trigger

    Good. At least in the sense I won’t feel bad getting rid of it and putting a TT on it. Thanks for all you input.

    ID this trigger

    I’m sure it won’t take long for someone to ID this trigger. It’s on a custom rifle and I’m trying to see if it’s an OEM Remington or an aftermarket trigger. It’s not very consistent and has a 3.5 # break with occasionally going over 4#

    Barney's Freighter Frame

    If you want to use a pack bag, many of the competitors pack frame bags will fit on the Barney’s pack frame. They are a fraction of the cost and usually lighter too. It’s a great pack to use when weight isn’t an issue but it get left at home when it is.

    Difficulty finding “best” scope, help plz!

    I really like my LRHS and LRTS for dialing. I found a 4-18 LRHSi on eBay for just over $500 and picked one up last spring from Doug when he had a smoking deal on the 3-12 LRTS. I have the 3-12 on a Christensen Mesa and have shot clay pigeons siting upright on a hill at 1000 yds. The glass isn’t...

    field dressing moose by yourself

    For me it depends on when I harvest it. I have done five of 3 to 4 browtiners by myself and only used the gutless method on one. I feel one of the most important things I can do to ensure top quality meat is to cool it down as fast as I can. If I harvest it in the evening, as I did on four of...

    Do all Caliber

    I’m with you two as well. I’ve taken coyotes, sheep and moose as well as others with mine. I love it!! Winchester model 70 that kicks much less than my Tikka T3X SL in 30-06.

    Seeking advice on a scope

    I want to thank everyone for the input. I finally made it to the big city and dropped by a few stores to look through some of the different scopes brought up such as X5, Mark 5, other NFscopes. Based on the input and looking through some different glass, I decided to go a different direction. I...

    Seeking advice on a scope

    Thanks for all your input. I have the vortex hdlh 3-15 on my 6.5CM and has great so far but I’ve only got about 100 rounds through. I wanted to use one of the scopes I already have but I also want to do the build justice. I have considered selling the shv and hd5 and buying a nxs or a...

    Seeking advice on a scope

    I have been impressed with this advice that I have seen on this forum and was hoping to get some insight for a build. I have seen a few similar posts but was looking for advice specific to my dilemma. I am building a 28 Nosler with a Pierce Ti action, Pierce rings, Proof carbon barrel, AG...

    6.5 Creedmore

    I used to hunt with a 7MM and had buddies who carried 270's, '06, etc. They are all capable of harvesting a moose but everyone now carries a 338 or larger. We have had to many run-ins with brown bears, especially if you are a caller, so bigger is better as far as I'm concerned. I have shot...
