    Titanium stove & Teepee tent questions

    Ditto on the saw. I cut small stuff to get things going and then transition to larger pieces to cook with and bank the fire for the night. I put in several large pieces and that usually lasts me 2-3 hrs with the damper turned down most of the way. I would agree with placing rocks underneath...

    How many guns is too many? What is considered an "armory"?

    Yeah - I only have 8 firearms (no peanut gallery comments please) and I had to up my coverage after each one. At some point you just get a blanket coverage that covers the current count x 4 so you aren't updating every few months.

    Optimum magnification range on scope for elk rifle?

    I have a VX-6HD on both my 308 and 7mm Rem Mag (3-18x). I keep them at 3x while moving and only crank it up when I am setting up on a shot. Last deer taken (308) was at 320 yds, and I dialed up to 9x. Last elk (7mm) was at 181 yds but the shooting window was really small through several...

    2023 Colorado draw results Moose/Prong/Elk/Deer

    Typically the CPW site info takes a couple of hours to update beyond the credit card hit. CC hit is always an early indicator.

    Moose pt for me but did get my first choice bear. Neither was a surprise. Based on last year, should see deer tomorrow and elk the day after that.

    Help narrow sleeping bag choices

    Liner adds 5-7, and up to 10 deg, to the bag rating depending on liner. I am guessing my liner is in the 5-7 range. For me, if my feet get cold, then I really feel the cold elsewhere. Down booties give me at least 5 degrees of added rating, maybe a bit more, but that is very subjective. Next...

    Help narrow sleeping bag choices

    I went with the Versalite specifically since I backpack hunt (solo). It came down to the best compromise between added warmth and added weight. I have other dual purpose items that can bridge the gap to lower temps while still staying comfortable. Look at it in terms of your overall sleep...

    Help narrow sleeping bag choices

    I have the Versalite as well. I add a silk liner to it to minimize dirt/oils in the bag itself and it weighs next to nothing. All I do is wash the liner and I am good to go. I have used the bag+liner down to 0-5 deg and been comfortable with just my base layers on. I also use the feathered...

    AR 10 Hunting Loads

    I installed a JP Enterprises Silent Captures Spring buffer on my custom AR-10. Really nice setup that you can easily tune to your rifle and load. Huge improvement over standard spring buffer.

    7 mag Barnes 150 TTSX Anyone load this?

    Good luck. Let us know how your load development works out. I am curious how the TTSX pans out for you as it was one of the bullets I considered.

    7 mag Barnes 150 TTSX Anyone load this?

    I have been getting consistently better numbers out of both H4831SC and H1000 vs RL22 for my 150 gr Hornady CX. My sweet spot right now is the 4831SC with a measured velocity average of 3155 fps and 0.55 MOA at both 100 and 200 yds. Rifle is a Kimber Mtn Ascent.

    Western hunting scope

    VX-6HD, TMOA Reticle. Schmaltz can probably get you close to that $ figure. I have two of them, both with illuminated reticle and reticle level.

    AR 10 Hunting Loads

    I don't hunt with my LR. Just target shooting out ~1000 yds (yeah pushing it). For that the SMKs are fine. If I had to hunt with it, I can run the factory Fusions in a pinch. I have Kimbers (308 and 7 mag) for hunting.
