    Scouting Blacktail in Mendocino NF - fears of latest Heat Wave

    I haven't been back up since last weekend's scout. The rains will definitely keep things moist and flowing until I am able to get up there for my rifle hunt.

    Sako S20 or Tikka T3x Veil 6.5 PRC?

    S20 owner here in 300WM. I hunt with the precision stock, which is slightly heavier than the hunter stock, but deadly accurate. They guarantee sub MOA out of the box. New carbon stock will be nice to reduce the weight..

    Aftermarket Stock for Sako S20 Hunter

    Have you tried the S20 precision stock? It has a more of a traditional rifle shape. It is slightly heavier, but isn't as clunky as the hunter stock. It is what I use chambered in 300WM.

    Scouting Blacktail in Mendocino NF - fears of latest Heat Wave

    That still sounds like a good time. No bucks sighted for me. There was something walking around near our camp in the middle of the night, but I didn't go out to see what it was. Small, light footprints, so I was thinking a deer, not bear, since we did see some deer sign only a 100 yards or so...

    Scouting Blacktail in Mendocino NF - fears of latest Heat Wave

    I just got back yesterday from scouting the Mendocino NF. I ended up having to change locations from where I escouted, since a large downed tree and a locked gate blocked the only 2 paths into the area. I ended up driving to another area I had chosen previously about an hour and a half north of...

    Scouting Blacktail in Mendocino NF - fears of latest Heat Wave

    Thanks. It will be the end of the heat wave, with a 15-20 degree drop and cloudy weather between friday to saturday. I'm hoping this pattern of cooler weather will allow them to be more active at dusk/dawn. And maybe during midday. I plan to be exploring and still hunting the brush and valley...

    Scouting Blacktail in Mendocino NF - fears of latest Heat Wave

    Hey All, I am headed out tomorrow for a final scouting trip for blacktail bucks out in B3 section on Mendocino NF. It has been pretty hot around here with the many recent heat waves (3 in the past month, and Record heat this past weekend), so I'm a bit worried about the area we have been...

    How heavy is your tripod?

    I use one sitting tripod for my binos and spotter. It's the blackovis treeline carbon sitting at 30oz with the pan head. Quality of the pan head is not the best, so I will probably replace it next with a smoother operating one. But I do all of my glassing sitting so this small lightweight...

    Muzzle brake

    I have found that a properly timed and torqued muzzle brake doesn't really get loosened when taking shots at the range, or packing in/out with the occasional shot at game. So I don't use loctite at all when running muzzle brakes. That said, don't really use a muzzle brake anymore for some...
