    WTS Nosler M48 Liberty 7mm Rem Mag + Leupold VX-6HD 2-12x42

    I've fired exactly 60 rounds through this and it doesn't have a scratch or blemish on it. Practically new and never been carried in the field. I have the original box for the glass. Would prefer to sell altogether, $2150 shipped to the lower 48. Located in SLC. Willing to separate. $1000 for...

    Moving to either Utah or Colorado... OTC archery concerns

    Next month I'll finally be moving from California, and am on the fence between SLC and Denver area. I'm concerned about the quality of OTC archery hunts. I know this isn't a new topic on Rokslide, and I've read the other threads already, but I'm hoping for a little clarity on the subject...

    Rifle weight/balance question....

    I currently have a Remington 700 SPS Tactical that I bought a few years back, before I ever had any intention of backpack hunting. It is a heavy beast, and I'm still debating between upgrading the stock/barrel versus scrapping it for a lighter setup. My preference would be to upgrade the stock...

    Noisy Tight Spot

    Just mounted a new Tight Spot 7 arrow, and am getting a lot of noise when firing. I made sure it's mounted solid, not flush against the sight, and all the screws seem tight enough. What are the most likely causes? Should noise be expected, or is there something not right here?

    How important is opening day to Archery season?

    I'm gonna be hunting Zone 48 in Idaho this September, and am trying to plan out which days to request off from work. This is my first year elk hunting. I originally planned to take off 5 Fridays and Mondays (total, not each), giving me a couple 4 days weekends to hunt. I live inside the zone...

    Favorite synthetic solids

    Two part question: Who makes good synthetic solids? Like a Sitka lightweight hoodies, but not Camo? Also, anyone else have a problem with stinky pits with merino? I bought two t shirts from smart wool and icebreaker, and after wearing each once, the pits are permanently smelly. Multiple...

    Seeking help on an arrow build for a Bowtech Realm

    My PSE decided to crap out on me 5 weeks before the season starts. I have a 70# Bowtech Realm on the way, and was hoping for feedback on building an arrow for it. I will be shooting 70 lbs at a 29" DL, with a 29" arrow. The arrow is primarily for elk with a fixed BH, and I would like the...

    Deep Six Fixed Broadheads: Iron Will versus Solid Legend

    Looking for a 125 grain deep six broadhead, and was wondering if anyone had experience with both of these. My primary concern is flight characteristics. Any others I should be considering? Would have liked to run Slick Trick Magnum, but they only come in 100grain.

    Zeiss with discount VS Other "like new" binos

    Shopping for an 8x42 bino, and I can get either of two Zeiss variants at 45% off msrp: Conquest HD at $535, or Victory SF at $1570. While neither of these would be my first choice at retail prices, I'm having a hard time deciding if others should still be considered given the discount. Since...

    How would y'all rank the importance of FOV against overall image quality for a bino? I'm in the market for my first optics, and am settled on 8x42 ish. Right now I'm considering ta used set of the Kowa Genesis 8.5x44, which have a FOV of 366, but image quality has been described as alpha...

    8x32 --> 8x42 Worth twice the price?

    Gearing up for September, and there's a lot on my list. Looking at the Cabelas Euro HD/Meopta Meostar HD, and seems the 8x32's sell for about half of what the 8x42's cost ($400 vs $800). I know 8x42 would be the better option, but do they let in enough extra light to justify twice the cost...

    Kifaru bag sizing compared to traditional backpacking pack

    I'm getting ready to purchase a Kifaru pack, and am deciding between the Reckoning and Fulcrum. I'm having some trouble visualizing just how big each pack is. Can anyone compare the sizing of these bags (or any of Kifaru's advertised bag sizes) to a traditional lightweight backpacking pack...
