    Which AICS bottom metal and magazines for my T3x?

    For me; it’ll accept longer rounds. The factory or mtn tac mags only allow for around 3.380 (ish) coal. The red snake allows for 3.6+...

    Sheep Rifle Project

    6.5 cm T3X lite (blued) with Nightforce NXS 2.5-10x42 Nightforce rings/rail and a wildcat stock. Shot 143 eldx and 140 abs well. Went with a little heavier scope after hearing about reliability issues with others on the market. Very reliable. Held zero beautifully after being knocked around in...

    Looking for review of the Schnee’s Granite Pro

    I ended up with the Granite 0g for a little more flex over the pros. Have about 20 miles on them. Breaking in nicely. Hoping the sole gets a bit more flex. I haven’t ran the Scarpa’s myself.

    Looking for review of the Schnee’s Granite Pro

    I’m very interested in these boots but would like some input from y’all. Haven’t been able to find much for existing reviews. I’ll be using them for hunting the alpine in AK (mostly southeast with one northern trip a year).

    Wading boots

    I’ve got a season on some Simms flyweights and love them. Light weight, good support, vibram sole is grippy, comfortable. 10+ Mile days, no complaints. Can’t speak for especially heavy loads but I wouldn’t hesitate to use them for what you’re talking about.

    Barrett Fieldcraft update

    To speak to their warranty and customer service: My buddy had a part break on one of their rifles (not a fieldcraft). It was at least 5 years old and he admitted to not be the first owner. They sent a replacement part immediately and only asked the broken part to be returned for analysis. I’m...

    Goat hunting books or resources

    Bring the .22 on your scouting missions, should be some ptarmigan around. Beware, they’re closed part of the summer (in my GMU anyhow).

    Barrett Fieldcraft update

    Guess it’s time to snatch up a fieldcraft in 30-06. I’ve been kicking around the idea of buying a new T3X 06’ and having a gunsmith throw on a .280ai barrel but it looks like they might have some COAL issues with the heavier bullets..

    Barrett Fieldcraft update

    When I spoke to them they had no plans on resuming development. I believe they’re even dropping some of the less popular rounds like the 7mm-08. I thought I had it all figured out when I heard they had a .280ai in the works... maybe we’ll see one in a few years.

    Etolin Island, AK Elk Hunt

    I have family in Wrangell so getting to the Etolin shore would be a cheap/easy option. Might have to consider chartering a float plane though. Any shore to alpine hunt in SEAK is TOUGH. Add a 500# pack out and they turn insane.

    Looking for Sitka Recommendations

    Went to POW this year for the first time. I would avoid mid October! Very slow for me but still enjoyed the island and went home with some meat.... Alaska Airlines to Ketchikan then Island Air express to Klawock. Round trip from KTN to AKW is around 400. Car rental around $100 a day. Look into...
