    Tikka vs Bergara

    Finished my encore.

    My 700 is 8lbs scoped. My encores with the magnum barrels are at least that. The magnum barrel is 4 lbs alone. With the longer barrels they tend to get barrel forward heavy. Not to mention they feel like they are long

    High Priced Camo

    Before last season I upgraded all of my camo. I wanted to go lighter and still be warm. I decided to go with NOMAD. I went with the Mossy Oak droptine camo and it works awesome.
