    .54 cal

    I live in NYS and finding 54 cal stuff was always a problem! For every 25 boxes of 50 cal bullets, you might find one in 54. I finally gave up and bought a 50. Sold off my TC Firehawk in 54. Now have a TC Triumph in 50 and a newer Vortek Strikefire, also in 50.

    Sitka jackets

    My favorite is the 90% jacket so far. However, while I also have the Kelvin and Stratus, they are colder weather affairs. I have worn the 90% in Co elk hunting in early Sept, spring time turkey hunting, hunting whitetails at home, snow tracking in NYS Adirondacks, etc. It is my go-to jacket...

    2017 Eclipse (August 21)

    I live in NYS and got a bunch of photos using a camera filter, a Nikon D7000 body, a 300mm f4 Nikon lens, a 2x teleconverter and a good tripod! It was a warm day. While we only got 70% of totality, it cooled things about 5 deg. or more and things had a sort of funky light.

    Question - Alpine mountain and tall shooters

    I would think your concern is with the length of pull/ The LOP is going to be the same as other rifles; about 13 1/2". If you have other rifles that you own, measure from the trigger to the buttstock to get their LOP. If the standard LOP fits you, then I wouldn't be afraid to get one.

    Randy Newberg's position on grizzly bear hunting

    Good thoughts Randy; coming from a person who has thought it out more than the remaining 95% of us. Thanks for sharing.

    Colorado best elk muzzleloader

    A friend years ago used a Hornady Great Plains hollow point MZ bullet, 50 cal 250 grains. 2 of them fragmented and didn't a) break the neck or 2) penetrate the shoulder. Yes, angle and shot placement were issues. So, I recommend staying away from anything with a hollow point. I have used...

    Which jacket or coat would you choose?

    I would go with a Sitka Kelvin puffy. It will deflect wind plus its really warm. Can be compressed well and is light.... My $0.02! :)

    Schnees SUCK!

    I've never owned Schnees. But, I own about 5 pairs of Lacrosse Burly rubber boots with air bob soles in various stages of wear, including one torn and repaired with duct tape and even a brand new pair still in the box. I love my Lacrosse! :)

    Two pice quiver vs one piece?

    In the olden days when bows had much more hand shock than they do today, I always preferred a 2 piece. The longer distance between the hood & holder meant no arrow vibration noise when the bow was shot. However, today's bows have negligible hand shock so that reason no longer exists. I would...

    Scope sliding

    My unfounded guess is that the ring screws are not torqued properly! I used cheapo rings on a 338 Magnum and never had the scope slip.

    New Bushmaster AR-15 - General Questions

    Yes, AR's are loud! I had a S&W 223 that was even louder than my Rock River 6.8 SPC! I swear it seemed like the S&W action cycled faster and sound was coming out of the ejection port! Hearing protection is a MUST when target shooting. For deer hunting (my 6.8), I don't worry about it. But...
