    DG scope length issue

    I'm no rifleman, but I've been shooting them long enough and have never had this issue before, presumably because I've always been shooting short/medium action calibers. Now I'm hunting dangerous game, which often have longer, magnum calibers and long actions. And two rifles in a row now, a...

    Brown bears

    Hello, friends. Where are there more brown bears these days — Seward or Cooper Landing? I do not mean Seward peninsula. In either or both places I will be hiking 5 to 10 miles in and I’m not planning on doing any boat hunting. Regardless, where are there more brown bears

    Hornady GMX warning

    I don't care about feelings when it comes to bullet performance. I care about expansion, bullet integrity, and penetration. And most of all, I care about lethality, which is what our beloved wildlife deserves. I also might have gotten sucked in by the marketing. I shoot .308, which along...

    Benchmade screws

    No need to talk about quality of steel and overall build, but I've about had it with Benchmade's Axis folders -- I have 5, only a couple in EDC. Screws have come out on multiple occasions. Is this happening to others? I assume so. Yes, I could thread lock them, but after I pay $150-270 for a...

    Has anyone done it? In case you can't see the entire subject line: has anyone chronographed a Ruger Gunsite Scout with Buffalo Bore Supercharged .308 TTSX 150 gr? What did you find?

    Alaska tent

    New to AK, not new to camping or winter camping. The Arctic Ovens are bomb tents, but they're heavy and cost 3x what a conventional 4 season tent would cost, like the Cabelas Guide tents, and they start at $2,000 in useable sizes. What are you using and why? Thx!

    Otter ATV trailers

    So you've seen Otter's three models: the 15 and 20 Express and the 20 Super Express. Two questions: is the 20 just too damn WIDE for general hunting? And two, are the hubs superior on the 20 Super?

    Otter sleds

    Hello! I'm thinking of an otter sled for my snowmachine, mostly for backcountry hunting, and also trailing to a cabin for weekend stays. Any recommendations on size? They range widely. I'm thinking gear, firewood, beer, hopefully a late season caribou. . . Thoughts? I'm driving a Norseman 8000.

    Ptarmigan hunting

    Hello! I've seen ptarmigan while hiking above treeline in Denali and off the Steese Hwy, but I'm looking for hunting tips once the snow is on the ground and the temps have dropped, like now, e.g., 20" of snow and zero degrees. Are you snowmachining to above treeline and then just snowshoeing...

    Bullet type for all big game, all ranges

    Hello! So I'm from the Midwest where straight wall rifle cartridges were only recently allowed for deer hunting. I bought a .45-70 right away, and with Buffalo Bore Full Power Low Recoil loads, dropped my deer within 100 yards all with pass through shots and big holes, no surprise. This year...

    FieldTorq field dressing tool

    Anyone use one of these? I'm sure it would do nicely on caribou and smaller but am curious if it would split a moose sternum.
