    300 prc load for grizzly

    I hunt bear with the 230 bergers at 2930 I tried a couple 212 and 220 eldx loads but my gun liked the 230s more. So I can't help you too much, for past rifles I love eldx though! But I can tell you those 230s at 2930 absolutely hammer, the bears I've shot at closer ranges often pull a softball...

    Does anyone NOT wear merino underwear?

    I'm digging up this thread here cause I'm in a predicament. I absolutely love my kuiu boxer briefs (NOT the merino ones) They're sold out and not even on the site anymore. I'm in dire need of an alternative and there's a lot of options. Is there anyone that's used the kuiu briefs that can...

    Hammer bullets

    I walk around with a 199 hammer hunter tubed in my 300 PRC and I eject it for longer range shots in favor of my 230 bergers that my gun shoots MUCH more accurately. With that being said the hammer hunters hammered a blacktail for me and a whitetail for a buddy this year and there was no...

    Need help- niche mid weight tops asap

    What I wouldn't give to have a full zip strong fleece like 150 with hood. But in the mean time... Still curious on apex vs pro merino 200 And a vest a tiny bit warmer than the peloton 240 vest that's quiet and breathes a little bit. Don't care about waterproof so much and I won't be busting...

    Need help- niche mid weight tops asap

    Edited from original post. On foot active hunting double duty whitetail and blacktail. Yes I slow creep whitetail and I don't sit. Curious on apex hoody vs pro merino 200 or a mid weight hoody base layer to that nature. Not the heavyweight hoody, fanatic, or anything like that- warmer than the...

    Need help choosing a brake

    So I have a CA Ridgeline 300prc with the stock radial brake that I'll be using for hunting assuming it's a shooter. I am looking at side port brakes and have read numerous reviews but I just can't make up my mind lol. Looking at self timing. And looking for opinions on these but not limited to...

    First Focal Plane vs Second

    Ffp for me assuming the reticle is usable at lower mag, some scopes are better then others. I have my hold over/dial for elevation and 90 degree wind memorized out far enough to not look at my cheat sheet. Any shot on an animal on the back end of what I've got memorized or beyond what I...

    15x56 in replace of spotting scope??

    Another vote for mavens. Best bino's for the $$ *in my opinion*

    Help me decide my next scope for 300prc

    Well considering I don't camp hunt I hike in from the truck daily I'm pretty much bare bones and essentials only already. My pack is 1500 cu in... Soooo already pretty hard to shave pounds when what fits in there is only a couple pounds other then water. You're jumping to some conclusions here...

    Help me decide my next scope for 300prc

    Only because I pack light and do upwards of 10-14 miles some days on foot and I refuse to carry a spotter doing those miles. Certainly don't need more then 25x for shooting an animal. So if I can half ass use the scope to spot the little I would try to use a spotter then small victory. But I...

    Help me decide my next scope for 300prc

    So what I'm seeing is no real great options in the 3-5x min and 30x+ max... Best options appear to be 5-25. Unless I want to go with a March? Anyone with experience on the Maven 5-30?

    Help me decide my next scope for 300prc

    I've heard of more tracking issues with the mk5 or any Leupold over any other company. Maybe that's because they sell more then any company I do not know. But even my vortex viper pst 2 has never had an issue. I have a discount on kahles- They've crossed my mind... I just keep circling back...

    Help me decide my next scope for 300prc

    I have been hunting with a vortex viper pst ii 5-25 f1, so I'm used to first focal plane for hunting that's no issue. I also dial for elevation anything beyond 3 moa just to be precise, but I hold over for wind. So I really only use the center of the cross hair and occasionally up to 3 moa of...

    Help me decide my next scope for 300prc

    I've been told the mark 5 has less tracking issues then the VX, but I know a couple guys that have still had issues. Wish they made a 5-30 tho... Maven has a 5-30, I love their binos.

    Help me decide my next scope for 300prc

    First things first, leave the bias or fanboy out of this thread please. We're looking at this completely objectively and logically. Wife got me a CA Ridgeline 300prc for Christmas. I intend to use this for smacking critters more at longer distance, more black bear then anything actually but...
