    Need Suppressor Recommendation

    I called SilencerCo and asked about the SyctheTi for my AR-15. They said it will work, but not really recommended if stringing more than 12-15 shots a minute. The heat generated with that kind of use can break down the titanium. I asked about the Omega 300 and they said that would be a good...

    Arca Plate for a Swaro STC?

    I used the Outdoorsman's Arca Adapter Plate - just remove the 2 set screws - it has a smaller beveled top where it contacts the spotter... I did the blue loctite as well... https://outdoorsmans.com/collections/tripod-accessories/products/outdoorsmans-1-4-20-arca-style-adapter-plate

    Zeiss "Lifetime" Warranty - refusal to stand behind its product

    @Matt Cashell - maybe you misread my prior post? I did say the scratches were in the coating of the objectives... Zeiss said the coating scratches were due to improper lens care and therefore not covered under the 5 year no fault warranty. My buddy will be the first to admit he isn't the...

    Zeiss "Lifetime" Warranty - refusal to stand behind its product

    My hunting buddy had some Zeiss RF Binos that the objective coating developed scratches. Sent them in and Zeiss said "not covered by warranty and $700 to repair". The lens fix/replacement was going to take several months to complete, so he bought a second set for an upcoming hunt. One year of...

    Suppressor wait times

    Yes - I obtained digital fingerprints when I ordered the Scythe Ti (Trust) - Capital had everything on file so moving from the Trust to Individual was easy. I'll have to pay an additional $200 ATF tax to eventually transfer the Omega to my Trust...

    Suppressor wait times

    @RockAndSage & @Geewhiz - My roll of the dice worked! 🎲🎲 Ordered the Omega 300 from Capital Armory on 3/11 (Individual), Certified 3/12. APPROVED 3/14! My Scythe Ti (Trust) is still in jail...

    Chipotle bacon sausage

    Do you mean 10-15 garlic cloves? I love garlic, but 10-15 bulbs in 5lbs of meat would probably put me in the dog house...

    Suppressor wait times

    I ordered a Scythe Ti in a Trust through Capital Armory about a month ago. With everybody posting the fast approval times, I decided to roll the dice and order a second suppressor (Omega 300) through Capital as an Individual. I had to call to have them change my profile from Trust to...

    Zip off base layers?

    When I bought mine, they were available on Amazon, but it appears now you would need to order direct.

    Zip off base layers?

    The Kuiu that I had rode uncomfortably low and had a loose waist band. The Northern Playground were comfortable, decent quality merino, and had good zippers. IMO, the Northern were Swaro compared to the Kuiu Vortex. Lol.

    Zip off base layers?

    I had some of the first generation Kuiu zip offs and hated them - they were extremely low riders. I saw a recommendation for Northern Playground and picked some up. For me they were a far better fit... https://www.northernplayground.no/en/shop/ziplongs-r-3-4?fit=men

    Freeze Drying Adventures

    I'm too lazy to make it happen, but in a couple months, a real Oregonian would use a fresh caught Springer, some fresh caught Dungeness Crabs, and fresh dug Razors for the recipe. I bought the wild caught Sockeye, Pacific Seafood shelled Crab, and canned clams from Costco. Oh well - at 7 miles...

    Freeze Drying Adventures

    This is the receipt I used...the clams and crab were not part of the original receipt - I also doubled the bacon. I didn't follow the preparation exactly - I precooked the potatoes and salmon and added those along with the crab and clams to the rest of the simmered chowder.

    Freeze Drying Adventures

    Just finished packing 15 Hearty Elk Chili meals. I have 3 trays of Salmon, Crab, & Clam Chowder in the freezer, and I'll add 2 trays of Costco Broiled Chicken, Bacon & Rice for my next FreezeRay batch. I'm going to need to add some more hunts to be able to eat all of this food. Lol.

    Freeze Drying Adventures

    That's a great deal! I have the original, non-Pro, in large and it's worked flawlessly. I opted for the oilless pump which adds significant cost upfront, but it eventually pays for it self and reduces oil change maintenance. I also bought an extra set of trays, tray covers, and a set of...

    Trespassing? Worth shooting a snowboarder?

    I thought the same thing until I put my PI hat on and started doing some internet sleuthing... I'm pretty sure I've identified the trespassing snowboarders route, the lawn chair gunslingers location, and quite possibly his name...

    Oregon Spring Bear - Archery Spot and Stalk

    I usually bring Sawyers Permethrin spray for gear and around the camp and picaridin lotion for my skin. The insert for your shelter might help a little, but ticks will be on your clothing and you will carry them into the shelter.
