    WTB H4895 and Trail Boss

    Hey everyone, I'm sure I'm in the same boat as everyone else, but I'm looking for H4895 and trail boss powder to build some reduced recoil loads for my daughter. If you're in western MT and have a pound of either of these to spare I would be grateful. I have other powders I could possibly...

    I don't know how this forum got by before you showed up with all your valuable feedback.

    Lightest Bestest Tripod For Sitting w/12x Binos Only

    Kramer designs in Clancy, MT makes compact ultralight tripods. I have one I use with my binos, it's not as steady as a regular tripod, but it only weighs like 8 ounces. Terry builds them in his shop on a couple CNC machines.

    Chest Waders for Waterfowl

    That sucks, they were the only quality, rebuildable waders that weren't crazy expensive. Hopefully they come back.

    Quick evening hunt

    The goose hunting obsession bites hard and gets pricey fast. I grew up in your neck of the woods, but haven't been over there in several years bird hunting. It's just not the same on the west side of the state. Have fun and enjoy it. Once you get a little snow it seems to help a lot with...

    Chest Waders for Waterfowl

    I will second the above. USIA will be my next pair of waders, high quality and rebuildable. For neoprene, they are all about the same anymore. I sale shop "decent" brands and try to find off-season sales. The boots always crack for me, so I've been trying to treat the boots on my latest...

    Some waterfowl questions

    Don't get discouraged, more birds will be coming. Once things start to freeze, get out and scout hard and try to find warm water slews and springs that have open water. Also, don't overlook small water like beaver dam ponds. Take my advice with a grain of salt, I'm in MT, so my terrain here...

    Left Handed 300???

    Yeah, it's just really light. I've shot my old man's Remington 300 win and his is a pleasure to shoot in comparison. That's good to hear they changed the twist rate.

    Left Handed 300???

    I have a left handed Tikka 300 win. It shoots well, around 2" at 300 yards with reloads. For under a grand, Tikka and higher grade savage is about it. I have 2 minor issues with the Tikka. 1- 1 in 11" twist 2- Factory mag limits you to factory length ammo. I hope he can handle recoil well...

    Picked up a Savage Model 110 270. What ammo for elk?

    I shoot the Barnes 129 lrx out of my savage 270. Reloads but it shoots about 1/2-3/4 moa.

    Game Carts for Elk?

    My old man and I have a pair of packwheels. One is the old compact packwheel I picked up on the cheap used. 3 years ago I got a 29er packwheel and that thing is awesome. I've brought a bunch of deer out with them. Any sort of game trail or cattle trail makes it pretty nice.

    Tundra Owners - Towing Question

    If it's this rare, why not get an old (80s or 90s) dually or something to keep around for this purpose? You can get an old dually flatbed 2wd for cheap and big flatbeds are handy as hell.

    Opinion on MT Missouri River Breaks Special Rifle Tags (worth the bonus points?)

    This. When I had a permit several years ago, I walked away from a 280 ish bull 2 hours into the first day. I could have shot him at 70 yards. Walking out that night my dad said "I hope you don't regret this, I would have shot that elk.". Fast forward getting rained out, broken 4 wheelers, mud...

    Yet Another Vortex Going in for Warranty

    To build on your list a little for scopes that are known to track well and offer consistent repeatability. Meopta scopes are generally well regarded as being durable. I paid $450 for my meopro during a fire sale at EuroOptic. I took a very hard fall with that rifle a few years ago. I had it...

    Tent recommendation

    2nd the Kodiak flex bow. They do very well in the wind. Great tents and they pitch fast. Mine has been in a lot of awful eastern Montana wind over the 7 or 8 years I've had it.

    257 AI and Barnes 100 TTSX

    I'm working up loads for my old man's 257 Ackley. Our best groups so far with Barnes 100 ttsx were with 4831sc. Ramshot hunter also shot well.

    Ruger m77 mk II rings

    I would use warne. I use mostly warne rings, I havent used the Ruger rings they make, but I have standard and Tikka rings from them. I used standard Ruger rings on my Ruger, they were fine but if you need a full set to go to 30 mm I would get warne.

    NYT article on Meat Eater and hunting

    Togie, fellow lefty here. Good luck finding lefty bow locally, even worse than guns. Check ebay, I got a diamond deploy carbon on eBay brand new with arrow and a release for about 70% off a few years ago. Big bow shops close out last model year bows on eBay and deals on lefty bows can be found.

    Fresh Track Tent

    As noted above, they are snowtrekker tents, bo must be working with them. Their tents do look pretty cool.

    Kauai to do's

    Waimea canyon was probably my favorite. Polihale beach was second. We tried doing a dinner cruise of the nepali, but the seas were too rough, daily common this time of year I guess. I want to go back in the summer and spend a couple days doing the sea kayak adventure, camping on the boat in...
