    Jacket Suggestion

    I’m looking for a fairly light good quality jacket that is waterproof and wind proof. Not really looking for a straight shell but something with thin fleece lining on the inside for a little warmth. I bought a Helly Hansen Crew Midlayer and it’s perfect except one thing. It’s about 6” too short.

    Glacier National Park

    Our family plans to vacation in Glacier National Park this July. We’re thinking about staying a night or 2 on the west side, driving the road to sun, then staying a night or 2 on the east side. Then maybe taking a road trip in a rental down to Billings for a night, probably do Devils Tower then...

    Anyone done business with GritrSports.com out of Texas? Just curious, as they have some accessories I'm looking at.

    XBolt Trigger

    I bought an xbolt HCS in 280 Ackley Improved back in November. Deer season was upon me, so I didn't tinker with it much then. Just mounted a scope, sighted it in, shot a few different types of ammo in it and went hunting. This is my first xbolt and the main complaint I'd read about them was on...

    Sold 280 Ackley Improved Partition Ammo

    I’m looking for some 280 Ackley Improved Nosler Trophy Grade 160 grain Partition ammo. I’ve got a couple boxes of the same ammo in a 160 grain Accubond that I’d trade, box for box. Or I would buy the partition ammo outright.

    Backpack Problem

    I'm hunt mostly out of a stand and I almost always carry my backpack to the stand with me. I don't have to walk a really long ways to my various stands but it's far enough that I the backpack causes my back to sweat. If it's not really cold, it's not a big deal, but when it's like it was...

    Xbolt Hells Canyon Speed

    I’ve been wanting a 280 Ackley Improved for several years. Walked into my local LGS a couple weeks ago and he had a couple xbolts on the rack in it. Couldn’t pass it up. Sighted it in yesterday and shot a sub-MOA group with Federal 155 grain terminal ascents. I also tried Nosler 140 grain...

    Which mounts?

    I'm looking to pair to a Browning x-bolt Hell's Canyon long action with a Leupold VX-5HD 3-15x44. I'm trying to figure out which way to go with mounting the scope. I'd like to keep the scope as low as possible, so I was considering the Talley lightweights but I'm a bit concerned about getting...

    First Lite & UV Brightners

    Have you guys had any issues with First Lite clothing and UV brightners? I purchased a new Kiln 1/4 zip during the recent sale and the cuff on one of the sleeves is glowing. It’s just the cuff that’s sewn onto the end of one of the sleeves, the rest of the garment is fine. Very odd. I tried...

    First Lite Catalyst Gloves

    Do any of you guys have a pair of the new First Lite Catalyst gloves that could give me your thoughts on them? I recently bought a pair of Kuiu Axis gloves and I'm just not happy with them, so I'm looking for something else. I have a pair of First Lite Talus full finger that I like; to me they...

    Santuary v Solitude

    I'm a Southeastern stand hunter, where the only walking I usually do is in/out to the stand and scouting. I picked up a Woodbury jacket last year when they went on close out and absolutely love it. Just about perfect for my needs. I used it from 40ish down into the teens last year by just adding...

    Klamath v Furnace

    I picked up a First Lite Klamath the other day while on sale. It came yesterday and I’m kind of surprised at how thin it is. I’m second guessing myself and wondering if I should have gotten the Furnace instead. For those that have both, how do they compare in warmth? I’m a stand hunter and my...

    Neck Gaiter

    I lost my neck gaiter while scouting a new area yesterday and am in need of a replacement. Who makes a good one? I was going to order the midweight one from First Lite but naturally they are out of stock. Is there another one that is comparable to it? I'd use it solely for warmth paired with a...

    Nitecore HC65

    Anyone have the Nitecore HC65 and if so how do you like it? Is the red light bright enough to walk a trail at night? It will be used for hunting mostly. I'd like one that has a usable red light (for walking in to my stands), puts off enough light that I can see a good ways with it when on white...

    Durable Rubber Boot

    I use to sing the LaCrosse Burly praises. I remember years ago getting 4 or 5 season of hard use out of a pair in tough terrain hunting in river bottoms. I bought a new pair 2 weeks ago because I was hunting in a muddy bean field, needed to cross a creek with 6" to 8" of water to wade and wanted...
