    Let's see some NRL hunter rifles

    I ran open light this year with an Impact action, XLR magnesium 4.0, 24.25” #4 contour barrel, Burris XTR Pro, and a double pull light ckye pod and was at 11.81lbs running 140 eldms at 2810. Also shot a teams match and just swapped out the barrel to a MTU and was under 16lbs.

    Final Gear List Review for 4th rifle Elk in Colorado

    I've thought about getting some heavier weight base layers to maybe not have to bring extra clothes and to use if it gets really cold like the ones below https://www.meriwoollayers.com/products/mens-250-merino-midweight-half-zip-top What heavy weight ones do you have?

    Final Gear List Review for 4th rifle Elk in Colorado

    I get pretty cold just sitting and glassing is why I have the extra layers. The extra gloves were there for options depending on how cold it was. Yes I have snow skied a bunch of times and my layering system works good for that since I am not sitting for long periods of time. Yeah I like the...

    Final Gear List Review for 4th rifle Elk in Colorado

    I will most likely do that just is nice to have a hot cup of coffee or tea when your glassing later on in the day. I run OnX on my phone last year and needed the battery pack towards the evening packing out an elk last year in the dark. Wont take the bug spray

    How heavy is your tripod?

    LS-254c on the left 40oz with spiked feet use for my mountain glassing tripod and LS-323c on the right 4.3lbs use for night hunting hogs Work’s perfect standing up and not to heavy to pack around.
