    Favorite knife clip?

    I've used the Ulticlips on sheaths and holsters. They work great.

    .223 for bear, deer, elk and moose.

    The 60 grain vmax are very effective on groundhog/rockchuck sized animals. North/South shots out of a 20" 1:9 twist 223 often have the results you would expect to see when shooting prairie dogs. I wouldn't hesitate to shoot coyotes with the vmax. With the better BC of the 60 TMK, seems worth trying.

    Gunfighters Inc Kenai sticking

    Before you break out the heat gun or hair dryer, make sure it's free of dirt/grit inside and hit it with a shot of spray silicone lube.

    Benchmade Pukko Handle

    I did some research on replacing the rubber grip on the original Steep Country and it didn't appear to be a big deal if you are in possession of modest wood working skills.

    .223 for bear, deer, elk and moose.

    I've requested email notification for 130s from every vendor I can find. Tom Petty was right about the waiting being difficult

    .223 for bear, deer, elk and moose.

    If anyone had questions about 130 tmk, I can provide one data point: shot a mature mule deer at 100 yards, it traveled 15 yards and flopped. I clipped the end of the humorous, shattering the bone down the entire length and breaking the end of the scapula off. The Bullet continued on into the...

    HPG Recon Kit Bag w/ Bino Pouch vs other bino harness

    I have been using a snubby recon kit bag with a Leupold bino case (came with my binos) and an elastic magazine holder for my phone (runs map program) for 2-3 years. Works great for me. I clip my range finder on the side strap loop. The set up gets used for archery season, rifle season, and...

    Comfortable EDC holster

    I'm not sure which is bigger, the box of gloves that I don't like or the box of holsters that didn't work out. I settled on a Raven Concealment Vanguard with soft loops for semiauto AIW and a self made kydex with Ulticlip for a J frame. The Vanguard was the best balance of compromises for me...

    Lid setup for Mystery Ranch Pintler

    I use the lid off a Dana Designs pack on my Pintler. It has straps sewn into it, so I put a mating fastex buckle on them to make an adjustable loop that goes around the top of the frame, captured below the load lifter straps that run the your shoulders. Then I secure it down with the Pintler...

    HPG recon with binos and 10 speed

    I've been running a snubby recon the past 2 seasons with my Leupold 10x binocs on the front, staged in the case that came with them. This year I ran my phone in a BlueForceGear tenspeed mag pouch and hung my range finder off the loop that runs around your chest. The tenspeed pouch for my phone...
