    Academy Sports has .30 cal Nosler E-tips for $38 a box with free shipping if anyone is looking for some. It's the best price I've found in a long time.

    New Scope

    +1 for Schmalts. I suggest VX5 3-15x44 depending on your application. I chose the Impact 29 reticle and I'm very happy with it.

    Ideas for a antelope, deer and elk rifle for wife and daughter.

    Take your wife to a gun store and let her see which one she likes the best. My wife picked between the Winchester Model 70 Featherweight Compact, Browning Micro Midas, and Weatherby Camilla as well as several non-female/youth models. She like the Winchester the best. 7mmHT

    What's the best Puffy patch?

    Some thorns caught the collar of my new puffy jacket while hunting the other day and poked 2 holes into the inside of the collar. Now I have some annoying feathers coming out and poking me in the neck. I have some Tenacious tape but want to see if anyone had a better fix before I applied the...

    Federal Trophy Bonded Tips

    What was your 7mm Mag load to get 3050 fps? I've been holding off loading these as the load data shows with max charge velocities of 2800-2900. I have RL22 and IMR 4350 to load with. I only have 50 rounds as well.

    A tip for camper trailers at remote sites.

    The tow bar on the front of humvee worked great to. You can have 1 guy on each side taking a crap while still pulling security. Wooden ammo crate was prefered, Mk 19 ammo can was a good 2nd choice. The MREs haven't gotten any better either. After 22yrs in, I think the original frankfurter or...

    Need new spotter(f*@#ing thief)

    Kowa 883/884. There's nothing better. Eurooptic and Bear basin Outfitters usually have the best prices. TE-11WZ is 25-60 wide angle lens you want. All total $3k. I run the SIRUI T-1205x tripod with VA-5 head.

    Which headlamp??

    The most important thing is to carry 2 and know exactly where the second one is and be able to access it easily in the dark. Personally, I have 2 black diamond storms but that's just because I lost 1, bought another, then found the 1st one. Wouldn't hesitate to have a Petzl e+lite as my...

    What states offer the best NR tag values

    Only in the extremely dangerous WILDERNESS areas of WY for a NR. Your WY drivers license is apparently instilled with magical protections that keep them safe in the wilderness where us meer non-residents will surely perish! The WY wilderness is so treacherous that while yes, you and your 87...

    '20- What Worked, What Didn't?

    I called Kuiu and they said it wasn't possible. I sent the gloves back, and they sent me a new pair. Same results. All the seams leaked through in the first heavy rain within a couple hours. The cuff also isn't long enough to keep water from pouring down into your glove when you're actually...

    Does anyone have a favorite ladder stand?

    Millennium are by far the most comfortable, and they know it which is why they cost so much. I've used a Muddy 2-man which is nice, sturdy in high wind, and comfortable. River's Edge makes a Lockdown stand which are great especially setting up with 1 person. Big game titan xl is also a good...

    '20- What Worked, What Didn't?

    I tried the Kuiu Yukon gloves and was extremely disappointed. Rain soaked through within a couple hours of use. There are cut tight so my hands got wet, then very cold. Applied some nikwax with no luck. They now sit in the bottom of a gear locker. I switched to wearing merino wool liners and...

    for the 1000th time - Caliber options?

    A few years back I picked up a Tikka T3x Lite stainless in 7mm Rem Mag. It's recoil is noticeable less (or at least more manageable) than my Browning A-Bolt in 30-06. A lot of "felt" recoil is attributed to how well the stock fits you.(Highly recommend a vertical grip) I load 160gr Accubonds...

    Muzzleloader Help

    295gr powerbelts from my CVA Optima. I've used federal, triple seven, and CCI primers all with equal results.

    Best Puffy Pants?

    +1 for the First Lite uncompahgre. I've worn them in single digits and they did well. Probably the lightest and warmest you'll find are the Western Mountaineering flight pants but they are $300.

    Crappy weather tents (room to move)

    +1 for Kodiak Canvas though not freestanding. Easy setup for 1, not too heavy, and a tough tent. Check out the older Cabelas Outfitter Instinct tent with stove jack already installed.

    7mm Rem Mag Bullet Recommendation for Weatherby Vanguard 26" 1-9 1/2 twist

    I’ve only loaded 160gr Accubonds and 175gr Partitions so far. I have had exceptional results with both. I purchased some 160gr Trophy Bonded Tipped and 150gr Barnes ttsx but I have not loaded either yet, and since the ABs and Partitions shoot so well, I may not. I have the same intended use...

    7mm Rem Mag Bullet Recommendation for Weatherby Vanguard 26" 1-9 1/2 twist

    What's the intended use? Select appropriate bullets for your application, pick 1 or 2, and start working up loads. Currently, bullet and powder availability will play a big role in your selection.
