    I Like my Crispis, but I want a wider toe box

    The Thor wide is very good for my feet and Mendle is also a wide boot.

    Rotating Case while Seating Bullets?

    G David Tubb was a proponent of that, and I've always done it with standard dies after hearing his recommendation. Never tested it to see if it makes a difference however.

    Model 70 classic stainless not grouping

    Make sure the action screw is not super tight. Over tightening in a m70 can sometimes cause issues.

    Talk to me about E-Bikes

    I bought a decent bike (500) with 2.5 " tires and put a 1000w front wheel motor on it, total cost was 1100. I've had it 3 years. I didn't want 4" tires as my biggest use is logging roads in PA big woods. It works great for the intended use but as was said before, big hills are a no go. I also...

    S&B lost zero x3

    I have a PMII that has been sent in twice for loss of zero as well. Mine was bought around 2004 and was shot almost weekly for 15 years or so on a 308. I will say, mine was one with a reticle installed by Premier back when they had the Marine contract, so that may be the issue. Service was good...

    Recommendations for sweaty feet

    I'm follow this, as my feet sweat badly as well. I wear non insulated Crispi boots and light to mid weight Darn Tough socks and make sure I am cold leaving the truck. When it's cold I use insulated boot covers. If I'm walking in anywhere over a half mile, I can't keep my feet from sweating. I...

    Anyone shooting Sierra 165 BTHP Game King in 308?

    Very good bullet that usually exits with internal mush, just not a long range bullet.

    What’s your go to hunting accuracy load for 308 win?

    As farmcritter stated, a very common load for years was 44.0-45.0 Varget with a 175/178 @ 2650-2700 fps. Factory rifles tended to be closer to 45 gr and custom barrels closer to 44. With the 155 Scenar I'm closer to 47 gr and with the 190 Berger I'm at 43.5. AMU load at one time was 43.7 with a...

    Arcticshield booties

    I had my neighbor put a little pouch in mine over the toes so the hand warmers stay in place.

    Tree Saddle Kits

    Your going to have to try some out, no way around it. I have an H2 and an ESS and those are all I've ever used. Tether height and bridge length have a lot to do with comfort and again are really individual based. Also knees on a pad or knee pads are individual. You really just need to take your...

    Short quotes that speak volumes.

    Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen. Love is when your puppy locks your face even after you left him alone all day.

    Stratus Bibs

    They are very versatile and warmer than they should be. With a light weight bottom layer and Wrangler outdoor pants under the Stratus bibs, I'm good down to the low 30's. They are a little bulky but are nice.

    Always tired? Gaining weight?

    Very well could be thyroid. Do not rely on a "normal" PCP that only looks at TSH. You need to also have free T3 (fT3) evaluated. Free T3 should be a minimum of 3.5 for most people to feel well. Hypothyroidism can also drive down T and just as importantly Estradiol. Quick thing you can do now is...

    School me on saddle hunting

    Last year was my second year using one. I did use a LWCG .5 as a hybrid platform. 90% of the time I sat in the saddle facing the tree with my knees on the flipped up seat pad. This setup with a back band was very comfortable. Year before I had a tiny angled platform and I was uncomfortable. I...

    Favorite Index Releases

    I have a Quickie 1 and love it. I shoot it with back tension and it breaks like a good rifle trigger.

    What piece of gear do you wish existed?

    I unbelievably, almost no one makes fleece backpacks anymore. I know a western hunter has little use for one, but many whitetail hunters do.

    XOP, Novix, and Lone Wolf Treestands

    I have the .5 and use it as a hybrid saddle platform or as a normal hang on. I'm 5'-10", 175 lbs and it works for me. I'd maybe buy the .75 if it had been around but no complaints. The single step mini sticks really make a sleek profile as a package.

    Saddle hunters?

    It isn't too small but it's as small as one could be IMO. I'm 5'-10", 175, so I'm not a large guy and it's fine. I'm definitely more comfortable in a saddle facing the tree, with a backband. Platform is not big by any means, but for me it is big enough. Only reason I say .75, is using the...
