    Anybody tried Big Agnes Lost Ranger UL 3N1

    So I have sort of put it thru the paces now. Tried it with just the "quilt", just the bag and both of them together. The things I do like. The pillow barn is great when using the quilt. The system is very versatile in terms of different setups depending on temperature. Which saves money instead...

    What rifle is missing stock options?

    A question with Socky's. The price that is shown online, is that a completed stock with limbsaver, swivels, bedded etc. that is shipped home for you to just put your action/barrel in?

    What rifle is missing stock options?

    Thank you for putting your hard work towards the hunting community. Let's go kimber. If stocky's starts making one for around that 550$ they are selling their other stocks for now, I'll be on it like white on rice. Basically like getting a montana at a discount.

    I will also add that I prefer more traditional hunter stock design over the new age designs.

    Kimber Hunter Question

    I have a hunter in 6.5 creed. They are light and may take a little bit of getting used. After the third shot my groups open up considerably. I accept that as it's a hunting rifle and my goal is that I only need one shot. I found mine to be finicky about ammo, which I also read about. I get...

    What rifle is missing stock options?

    Agree with some people in the thread. A lightweight carbon stock for kimber 84m. Maybe more people in my situation that bought the hunter because they wanted a lightweight rifle but didn't have cash for a montana or mountain ascent at the the time. Been looking around for after market but the...

    Alaska Rubber Boots

    The old xtra tuffs were great. New ones not so much. They will hold up for a hunting trip but not in the long run. After they moved production to China, they are more or less junk. Grundens makes one that is pretty sturdy. You might want to check that one out.

    First Black bear... An unplanned day of chaos in SE Alaska.

    Yeah I agree. But that is Parr of the fun. Haha. It spices things and puts some excitement in life. I have lived off and on I SE AK for the past 15 years, planning on moving there full time soon with some luck. Had my closest near death experience 12 years ago or so which involved me going for...

    First Black bear... An unplanned day of chaos in SE Alaska.

    Not to try and start something here, just airing my opinion. I find enjoyment in both hunting solo and together with good friends. They are two different experiences. Hunting together with somebody else, you get to share the pain, excitement, joy etc. Which is nice. Hunting solo puts more...

    Lightweight tent that doesn't use trekking poles

    I ended up skipping in the durston because of the big foot print and also the need for good solid ground to get the stakes in. Where I hunt you do not always find that. I ended up getting the marmot tungsten UL 1p. I'm pretty happy with it so far. Pretty good combination in terms of price...

    Quietest rain gear

    I got the the stone glacier m5's and I find them to be very quiet. Alot more quiet than the kuiu yukon I've borrowed in the past.

    Newbie - 1P Tent & Sleep Setup

    Not if any of these fit the bill for you. I like light gear as well, but I am however on a budget. So I sort of pick and choose between gear, where I want to spend more or less money. Marmot tungsten UL 1p. Not a trekking pole tent, but very light. I have had no issues with it. And can usually...

    6.5 creed ammunition

    I've shot 3 blacktails with em. They were all one shot kills so of course I'm happy with that. But 2 of them i was less happy with how the bullets expanded and also the weight retention. I've mainly used copper before and like the high weight retention and deep penetration without having to...
