    28 nosler recoil experience

    I've got a Christensen and a custom both in 28. A friend of mine shoots the same Christensen in a 300 RUM and it has much more recoil. Stick with the 28. Also, I've had great luck with the nosler 175gr long range factory ammo. Shoots well out of both guns.

    Best horse breeds for roaming mountain trails after big game

    I'd suggest a gaited horse that has a strong field trial background. They've typically seen a parts of the country including mountains, desert, thick timber and prairie.

    Outdoorsmans Bino Stud for Swarovski 10x42 el's

    I deal with warranty contracts as part of my job. Send Outdoorsman an email detailing how you'd like to correct the problem. They'll either approve it, deny it or ask you to do it a different way. Stick with what they ask and keep everything in writing.
