    Reliable Short Range Whitetail Scope

    Given the SWFA 1-6’s take so long to get, and wanting to stick with ffp mils/MRAD…I’d probably go with a Trijicon Credo (not Credo HX) 1-6x24. If your normal range is 10-60 yards, with 200-300 max a possibility… I just don’t think it makes too much sense to go with the larger, heavier 2-10x36...

    What's your favorite caliber?

    .308 for me. Partitions are my favorite. That said, I’d happily switch to a 7mm-08 if I could actually find ammo for it. Hell It looks like Nosler & Federal don’t even load Partitions for it any more. Both have taken 7mm-08 Partitions off their websites. Damn shame if true.

    New First Lite Windproof pieces?

    Over the past year or so there was talk that First Lite was bringing out some new wind proof pieces. Is the Sanctuary 2.0 the only wind proof item they released? Is there talk of more coming? I was really hoping for something along the lines of a Sitka Jetstream type jacket- Ala a basic hooded...

    2021 Stone Glacier clothing

    Looks good, though I do wish that M7 jacket had pit zips. Pit zips on shells have pretty much become a deal maker/breaker for me.

    Sako is up there.

    Underwear- What, how many, how many days.... TP, Handi Wipes or Paper Towels....

    Ha! I was talking about shaving your a** in regards to wiping, but yeah- I learned the hard way in regards to clippers and balls too. Nicked them with a 1/2 guard as well. I only use “sensitive skin” razors after that. One day I might work up the nerve to try one of those manscape lawnmower...

    need some advice on a personal heating system i.e. electric coat, etc

    Well done on the minus 33 merino, they make great stuff. I pretty much live in mine during hunting season, going on 4 years and still have no signs of wear.

    Favorite Backcountry Gear for 2020?

    Favorite new gear for 2020 so far: •First lite leafy balaclava. Great for warm weather and extra concealment. Can fit over hat or balaclava too. It absolutely confuses deer. • What I believe is the perfect coffee thermos for hunting. Made by Stanley. Smaller 12oz size, has a trigger opening...

    need some advice on a personal heating system i.e. electric coat, etc

    I won’t laugh, but that’s not a proper insulated jacket amigo. Get yourself one that has good insulation such a primaloft, Primaloft gold, core loft, Etc. Or down. Like i said- go to an outdoor store and try some reputable brands on, wear them while shopping around the store. Talk to the people...

    need some advice on a personal heating system i.e. electric coat, etc

    47-52° isn‘t very cold, but everyone is different. If you want some real warmth, just get a puffy jacket- either synthetic fill or down. For example- You can find Eddie Bauer down jackets for cheap. Especially if you have an EB outlet. Or just go to REI or a similar outdoor store and try on...

    Underwear- What, how many, how many days.... TP, Handi Wipes or Paper Towels....

    Merica! Proceed with caution on the new rei underwear. Worth trying at $20-ish price I guess, but the reviews on the new ones aren’t so great. The older ones(with the stripe on the waistband) were made with what I believe was the same material as their Sahara T shirts. The fabric on the new...

    Underwear- What, how many, how many days.... TP, Handi Wipes or Paper Towels....

    I use REI brand underwear, I liked them much better than Ex officio & Patagonia. They’ve changed their underwear though, not sure if for the better. The next pair I try will be the Saxx Quest. Toiletries: usually a half roll of toilet paper and some wipes. Since we’re all over-sharing here-...

    Swfa 3-9x question

    How visible/usable is the reticle at the lowest magnification(3x)? Usable in all conditions, including low light?

    What gun to choose?

    I‘d pick one of those 2 browning 20 gauges in a heartbeat. sxs or o/u, whichever you prefer to shoot. If you end up wanting more rifle than your 270, you can always pick up a good shooting cheap rifle (like a Tikka, etc) down the road.

    Cartridge

    I second this. You could get it done (the moose part) with a smaller caliber but when it comes to animals that can f you up, best to error on the side of caution Imo. I’d get the T3x stainless model if possible, and also pick up a limbsaver recoil pad.
