Sitka Gear Investment
tnywragge, I think you'll be pleased with the pants if you already like the Kelvin lite jacket. I've had zero issue with durability, and they're held up really well with use. I'm just mindful not to go busting through thick brush with them, I do that instead with my mountain pants. Good luck...- klampson

Sitka Gear Investment
For the kind of hunting I do a lot, I really like the Kelvin lite pants as a supplemental over layer. I'm generally a very mobile hunter (on foot), and usually hike my ass of each day. The key word with these pants is supplemental. They allow me to regulate body temperature, I can put them on...- klampson

Pet loads for 270 wsm
What brand of rifle, factory or custom? I've had really good luck with RL23 and 140 gr pills in my 270 wsm. Just picked up some RL26 last month when it was available for a brief second. Looking at Sierra's load data I'm tempted to try RL26 with 140 gr Game Changers. Should be an awesome combo!- klampson

Scope Conundrum
Really nice looking rifle! If you do decided to put a scope on your Safari, I think I would go with something that isn't too bulky. Maybe a Swarovski Z3 or Z5. -

Which Browning Safari did you get, the BAR Safari, or one of the older Browning Belgium Safari rifles? -
Caliber for pronghorn
300 Win is one of my favorite cartridges, and yes I have taken antelope with it. Sure, I've taken pronghorn with smaller cartridges, but I shoot my 300 Win a lot, and it often goes where I go...…. -
Ordering my 338 Win mag, barrel Length
I agree, 26" is nice if you're hunting open country, and or not hiking vary far. Another thing to consider is muzzle blast. I notice a big difference between 22" and 26" with the magnums that I own (even without muzzle brakes). But that said, if you're hunting brush and timber, 26" can be a... -
Swarovski Ballistic Turret
I have two Z5s, and ordered MOA turret rings directly from Swarovski. Their customer service was outstanding, and I had the turrets in less than two weeks. -
Leupold vs Zeiss
I was hunting two year's ago with a friend who has a Zeiss V4. It was a brand new scope and had never been taken hunting (only range practice). The temps were around 0 to low single digits that day, and we got setup on a really nice buck that was chasing does. My friend had a really hard time... -
Nosler Accubond - 200gr or 180gr for 300WM?
I've had good luck with H4831 and 200 gr Accubonds, but I would try 180 gr bullets as well, and go with whichever is more accurate. That is what I did.- klampson

280 Rem thoughts
Took my first elk with a 280 Rem, and many animals after that, great cartridge! Nosler 140 gr Flatbase was my go-to bullet. Lately, I've been loading 140 gr Barnes TTSX with RL 16.- klampson

325 wsm
I had a 325 wsm built a few years back on a Win 70 action, and have zero complaints. Wanted a pack rifle with a shorter barrel than the 300 win I was carrying (still LOVE this cartridge). Could have gone with 300 wsm, but decided to do something different. Almost had the rifle chambered in 35... -

Pigeons Southern California
Have you looked into trapping them yourself? Used to be legal in CA (10+ years ago), but I haven't checked the regs for awhile.- klampson

Paper Map Advantages?
Always bring a paper map and compass with me, along with onXmap/smart phone, and now Garmin 66i. I like redundancy, especially since a lot of my hunts are solo. Learned to navigate and draw maps in college studying geology, no GPS allowed, nor did I have the cash to buy one at the time as the...- klampson
