    Is this copper fouling causing poor accuracy? With pic.

    Is this copper fouling causing poor accuracy? UPDATED I’ve been struggling for 2 weeks to work up a load with acceptable accuracy for this rifle and it’s driving me nuts! Working up from min to max loads in .5 gr increments is producing head-scratching results with accubonds and partitions...

    What cheek riser is everyone running?

    Even with low rings I still need a cheek riser/pad for proper scope alignment with my eye. I am open to a stick on pad or a strap on pouch type like this: Triad Tactical, Inc. :: Triad Tactical :: All Triad Stock Packs™ :: Triad Stock Pack™ If it matters its for a Winchester in 300WSM...

    Exo bag on a SG frame?

    Has anyone put an Exo bag on a SG frame? I'm basically married to my X-Curve due to it's comfort, but would like a camo bag for treestand hunting. The Exo 2000ci bag looks perfect, however I'm not sure it will fit on the SG frame. And before anyone says it: yes, I have looked at the smaller...

    Colorado backdoor draw results still available?

    It looks like they have fixed it so you can't see if you were successful any more. Is that correct?

    Thoughts on the Winchester XPR

    I don't see this rifle mentioned very often, but I picked one up in Vias camo in 300wsm on a whim. Having only shot a box through it I can say it has a great trigger and is sub MOA with factory ammo. The action is smooth and supposedly the barrels are the same as the M70. The only thing I...

    Synthetic Sleeping Bag Suggestions Needed

    Currently using a Marmot Sawtooth 15* down bag, but I'm tired of it getting wet from condensation, and the worry that comes with having a damp down bag (downside of a floorless shelter). Also, the temp rating on that bag is off by about 15*, as I get cold in it at 30* or so. I'm curious about...

    Condensation...this floorless shelter experiment may be over

    Just got back from an elk hunt (buddy got a bull) where 3 of us stayed in a Seek Outside Redcliff. We had major condensation problems at night, to the point where the top of my down bag would be completely saturated by morning. We had the same problem in a Kifaru Sawtooth last year. Any...

    Anybody listen to the latest Gritty Bowmen sales pitch...er, I mean podcast

    Bluetooth trackers inside arrows??? I can't believe he thinks his listeners are stupid enough to believe that this will be used for arrow retrieval only. Brian just lost my respect completely. I really value Aron's insight, and want to keep listening to him and some of the other guests, but...

    I need a bullet recommendation, please!

    I haven't messed with my mz the last few years, but would like to this year. What bullet would you all recommend for deer coming out of a T/C Omega with BH209 powder? Bonus points if they can be purchased at Bass Pro, which is right down the street from me :)

    Are reasonably priced quilts a thing?

    I'm considering trying a quilt because I move around a lot at night and I always end up with half of my body outside of my mummy bag and getting cold. Are there any reasonably priced quilts in the 0* - 10* range out there? EE seems to be the gold standard, but are also priced pretty high...

    La Sportiva Nucleo - A good option for narrow feet

    Just wanted to give a heads up for guys like me with skinny feet. These seem to be a great fit, full foot cradle with no slippage. I have Lowa Tibet's that fit decent, but are heavy and wanted something lighter. The Nucleos are half the weight (2.1 lbs per pair instead of 4 lbs for the...

    Nickel plated bullets for barrel break in?

    So I snagged one of the Winchester XPR's in 300WSM that someone posted a link to in the deals section, and when I picked it up at Cabelas they said it included a $20 coupon towards a box of ammo. So, I wandered over and grabbed a cheap box figuring I would use them for barrel break-in, since...

    Good Riflescope under $400?

    I'm in need of a scope for the 300 wsm I just picked up (Winchester XPR). Does anyone know if there are any good optics out there in the 3-9 magnification under $400. I don't need adjustable turrets, but would like a reticle with multiple dots below the main crosshair (not sure of the correct...

    LBO Base/Tarp/Base Experience

    Hi guys, I'm wondering if anyone is using this setup. I'm wondering what the max number of people you could sleep comfortably with stove and gear, and also how many without gear. I'm trying to narrow it down between this and maybe a 6 man Kifaru tipi or a SO Redcliff. How is it in rainstorms...

    Hotspots on front of hips...any ideas?

    I tried on my buddy's Kifaru Hunter frame, because I'm looking to try something new. My Mystery Ranch Marshall forces me to walk hunched over to keep balanced, and I have tried every configuration and weight distribution, and even verified correct fit with pictures to MR. I guess the MR just...
