    anyone have field experience with the Spartan Davros pro head for glassing and shooting?

    This is exactly how I'd use it. I just want something that's easy to set up that I don't have to think about it under pressure. Right now I generally just shoot off my pack or use my trekking poles as shooting sticks, so I'm assuming this will be very stable out to 400 yard shots. It'll be an...

    Browning xbolt stock

    Any info on when Rokstok and Stockys will be releasing their stocks for the X Bolt? I've only seen "spring" for timing, but haven't seen a set planned date.

    anyone have field experience with the Spartan Davros pro head for glassing and shooting?

    I just wanted to check in to see how everyone is still liking their Spartan setup. I'm currently looking to purchase my first tripod and head for glassing and shooting since I've always borrowed a friends in the past and I'm leaning heavily towards the Davros Pro for ease of switching back and...

    Schnee's Beartooth 0g Longterm Review

    Following. Just got my Beartooth 0g as well with the sale they are having. The first pair I received was just slightly too tight, but customer service was amazing and made the change to a larger size in no time. My Crispi's started leaking after two and a half seasons, so hoping these last a...

    Grundens vs Helly Hansen Raingear

    I brought the Grundens Neptune camo jacket last year on my Alaska moose hunt and it worked flawlessly. We had pouring cold rain about 50% of the time and I was always dry except for the sweat while hiking. Might be worth bringing a really lightweight shell that breaths better for hiking while...

    Alternative to Sitka Mountain Jacket

    There's a really good thread on wind layers if you want to read through that. Lots of options for really lightweight jackets that breath but cut the wind. I use the kor preshell which is 5 oz and works great. Also have the ferossi which is good but closer to 14 oz and less windproof. Heard great...

    Arcteryx outlet

    You can try the Arc'teryx Regear. It's like the Patagonia worn wear program where they sell slightly used clothing that's still in good condition at a reduced price. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    EB Evertherm

    I still use mine. Used it in my CO hunt this past fall with temps as low as high 20's and was perfectly warm as my only insulation and just a peloton 97 as my mid layer. I'd say similar warmth to the other EB puffy but blocks wind/elements way better so feels warmer. No experience with other...

    Lightweight tent that doesn't use trekking poles

    So when I originally posted this thread, I thought I was only going to get a few responses. Amazed it's still going and tons of great information and feedback. I ended up being convinced to try out trekking pole tents, so I grabbed the Durston X-Mid 2 in solid. Overall I was really happy...

    Merino Base Layers

    I just wait for smartwool or icebreaker to go on sale since I wear them for casual too. This year I wore a MTN ops Merino that held up well and that goes on sale a few times a year. No need to pay full price on this stuff. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    Blaze merino wool beanie, good ear coverage, not Stormy Kromer

    I have had the minus 33 beanie for about 5 years now and still going strong. Like the FL one, it's not as bright as a blaze orange fleece beanie but it works. It's the perfect weight in my opinion. I wear it unfolded if I'm hot or fold over once if it's cooler out. No regrets for this price...

    Blaze merino wool beanie, good ear coverage, not Stormy Kromer

    Minus 33 has a good beanie in blaze orange Merino. Not too heavy, yet good coverage and doesn't break the bank. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    Itch for new rifle...help needed

    Thanks for the response. Your setup looks really nice for the price. Out of curiosity, what minor work would you recommend to salvage the factory stock on the tikka? I'm leaning towards this option and then just keeping it as is to decide what I want to do long term, but still debating...

    Itch for new rifle...help needed

    Sadly I can't see getting a suppressor anytime soon. I live in NJ where they are illegal so can't technically own one even using it out of state. I'm trying to convince my dad and brother to apply since they live in WI and then put me on a trust, but they are close range stand hunters that...

    Itch for new rifle...help needed

    This would actually be my preferred round but I don't reload and factory ammo isn't as easy to come by.

    Itch for new rifle...help needed

    I was originally looking at these, but they are all 2-3 lbs heavier than the tikka which isn't ideal for a mountain rifle. Something to consider though.

    Itch for new rifle...help needed

    So I've gotten the itch to get a new rifle that is more focused around "longer" range western hunting. I fully understand most of shooting longer distance is practice, but I like the idea of right tool for the job. I currently own a few hunting rifles, but they all have flaws in my eyes. My...

    How often does everyone upgrade their packs?

    These are kind of the responses I expected when starting the thread. Sounds like most packs don't die and people look to upgrade when they can or when it makes sense. Knowing my MR works, but I'm not in love with it, I can see myself buying something new to try in the next year or two as funds...

    Archery Season Mid Weight Tops

    Yeah, I normally bring a grid fleece but would get too hot so switching to this combo. We'll see how it works. I'm bringing a kenai vest that I'll leave in the truck but grab if the temps turn cold. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk
