    Cartridge help

    You'll have plenty of room to load em long so should still get plenty usable velocity with 180's

    Six Moon Designs Deschutes Plus

    I use the regular deshutes. Good little shelter. Spacious enough for 1 and gear and pretty bullet proof in the wind/rain. Use it with a borah bivy for a light bug proof shelter

    140 AB vs 162 ELD-X

    Accubonds are a damn good bullet, but are pretty sturdy. At your velocities I would keep them 400 and under. If you want to push further than that then use the softer bullet (eld-x or eld-m) imo a 1moa gun isn't really a 600m gun anyway so keep it to more sane distances

    Alternative to Nightforce NXS 2.5-10 for a lighter scope to dial

    What is it you don't like about the leupolds? The vx5 HD is a brilliant little scope. The 2-10x44 with zl2 turret fits your bill exactly. Dial well awesome turret system and very very good glass.

    Day Hunt gear weight

    Like you I always plan to be able to stay/survive the night. So clothing wise I think you are taking the right stuff. I would ditch the charger personally. Not needed for day hunts. 12 rounds is what I carry on multi day hunts I only carry 7 on day hunts. Your optics system is what is...

    BA 3 wire bivvy or EE recon bivvy??

    Space, weight and verstility of setup. My fast and light tarp setup and borah biv weighs about 600 grams with line and stakes. pitched correctly you get to much more usable space.

    Carrying meat in/on your pack?

    Yeah man, Get the meat in the pack, as close to your back as possible. Use the remaining gear & compression straps to pack and cinch it as tight to your back as possible. Attach any left over gear to the outside. I carry a thicker dry bag for this, sleeping bag and spare clothes go in this as...

    Hang Em High Quilts. Anybody using one?

    They are pretty well priced. No information on footbox design, assume its just a drawcord at that price.

    Quilt + bag combo?

    According to the EE quilt layering chart, a 30f + 30f would be good to -10f Info here Layering Sleep Systems – Enlightened Equipment Go for the wide quilt if you plan on layering.

    Floorless tent

    What do you mean keep the rain from getting in? The tent keeps the rain out. Try to set up on a small high point and not in a hole. As long as you don't set up in a water flow path you will be fine.

    Looking for a new rifle... thoughts

    Don't fret to much about threading a sporter barrel. It's a simple and cheap job. Get a reputable smith to do it and you won't have any issues. What's an a7 sako worth in the us? They are decent rifles.

    Light framless packs???

    I do 3 day bush hunts, hunting all day then making camp where I stop. Use a huntech 40l frameless. Usually my pack is about 5 kg. Even that weight gets uncomfortable on the shoulders. Defo go some sort of frame.

    Expect sub MOA from Remington?

    Go Tikka, or if you really like the remington pattern go with the bergara, they are basically an improved copy of the rem

    Tikka 7-08 and accubonds

    My 7mm08 shoots 140 Ballistic tips into 1/2 moa, rem brass and 2208. I have never had any issues getting AB or NBT's to shoot. Check that the rifle is sitting in the stock properly, the recoil lugs can be finnicky to fit when you throw the stock back on. short of that get some factory ammo and...

    Tarps

    I use one as an emergency shelter and for bush overnighters during summer. Its light, waterproof and well finished. Really only suitable as a overnight or emergency shelter though as is pretty small. Can pitch low as an A frame and stay dry in some proper rain but its only enough room for lying...
