    Sleeping Bag for November Kodiak

    I'm heading to Kodiak in early November for a week long trip and am considering picking up a Western Mountaineering Versalite. Should I have any major concerns with moisture and precipitation that I should consider the MF/GWS offerings - or does anyone have any other burning recommendations that...

    Experience with phone GPS (OnX, GAIA, etc)?

    Heading to a 7-10 day hunt in Alaska in a few months and looking to make sure I am covered on the GPS front. Does anyone have experience on longer hunts with phone GPS, or any suggestions? I have an iPhone 12 and Anker battery bank, and was considering trying it out in airplane mode, but would...

    Sitka Jacket Options and Thorough Neurotic Analysis

    Thank you, I'll take a look at the traverse. How does the sizing work for you to be able to layer without getting too baggy?

    Sitka Jacket Options and Thorough Neurotic Analysis

    I'm a little crazy when it comes to purchasing gear. I'm working through a few options for a mid weight outer/insulation layer. Goal is to get a piece with the versatility to use in my system in both the midwest for tree stand whitetail (archery through early rifle) and CO 1st/2nd rifle. I...

    Best method to print large maps (ie 36x24)

    Hey all, looking to print a large decent definition map of our fall hunting camp area. I have access to color plotters and would like to print off a large 36x24 map to hang on the wall. Any suggestions on how to pull it up on a mapping application to print or create a PDF? I figure if I could...

    WTS Sitka Stratus Jacket and Pant in Elevated II - Size Large

    $450 plus shipping! Excellent condition, lightly used. Purchased for earlier archery season and sized for layering when cold - but ended up just using my fanatic set whenever it gets cold and want to get something in medium.

    Stupid question I can't find an answer to - does anyone know what the center set screw underneath the windage cap is for?

    Nightforce SHV vs NXS

    Not all SHV models have parallax anymore, all the new illuminated models do not. You can still find the old models that do though.

    Reloading Kits

    Thanks for the reply! What from that kit would you sacrifice? That kit just had a lot of items in the range that I planned on getting individually. I do have a cheap(er) set of digital calipers, but do plan on upgrading those as well. All of my reloading has been done with a Lee kit with a...

    Reloading Kits

    What do you all think about the Redding Versa Pak Pro kit? https://www.redding-reloading.com/online-catalog/154-versa-pak-pro-kit I can find it for around $500 and seems to be a pretty solid kit when paired with a press, like the Rock Chucker.

    Nightforce SHV vs NXS

    Trying to finalize my decision between the NXS 2.5-10x and the SHV 3-10. I can get the NXS for around $500 more than the SHV. Does anyone have experience with both of them and could make any recommendations one way or another?

    .280 AI Redding Type S Die Set

    Looking to upgrade to a Redding die set for my .280ai. I'm looking at the Redding Type S Match Bushing 2-Die Set from Midway. It looks like it includes a Type S FL Bushing Die and a Competition Seating Die, I assume the competition seating die because I can find no other Type S seating die from...

Looks like I can look up MCCs and identify what stores qualify, just want to make sure to get the 2% on some big purchases...

    Have been looking to get 2 A-Frame blinds to fit 6-7 people in a field. Any recommendations? Got to setup and sit in a couple Avian-X blinds recently, but looking for some feedback before buying 2 for myself.
