    Hunting & Fishing Hunting rifle weight?

    For mountain hunting, it depends on the tactic. If I'm hiking, I prefer a lighter 7mm Remington. If I'm sitting over a travel corridor on a ridge top, then I'll take a 14lb 300 Rum. All suppressed if legal in that state.

    Ruger Precision Rifle Discussion

    Gents, did a key word search and didn't turn up anything. Has anyone stuffed a 6.5 PRC into a Ruger Precision? If so, any issues you had to overcome--ie feeding, mag length v/s OAL, ejection, etc..? Having paid for custom precision rifles many times over in the past, I've been really...

    Night Vision PVS-7 worth it?

    Used both since 2000, it's easier to get used to with the 7's for a new user due to the two eye/same image similarity to normal human eyesight. There are tactical benefits to a single 14, and more for dual 14's, but unless you are putting your life on the line, I couldn't justify the money.

    Christensen Arms MPR... Problems and Resolution

    Please let us know how it performs. I'm on the fence about getting the same rifle/caliber, but have been hesitant based on smaller caliber reviews.

    Hunting & Fishing Cellular Game Cams

    I picked up a spypoint cellular/ solar camera this year at a trade show. It's great on battery life and the pics are decent. The only thing I don't like is that it holds the pics for transmission a couple hours. So if there is a threat of someone about to steal it, you don't find out until...

    Help a new guy with a tripod selection

    I started out with a manfroto and pistol grip ball head. Then went to an Alamo, finally ended up with a RRS and anvil head. The RRS gear makes it much easier for standing long range engagement. 600y standing on a 33%ipsc is easy now. Plus the RRS is far more quiet for hunting purposes. It...

    Android and Elite 5700 bluetooth issues

    OK, I'll look into that. But what about the Motorola? It worked fine last year, but nothing I did this year would make the system work.

    Best ruck to carry 50lbs in 5-10,000 elevation

    Just spent 2 weeks in Idaho hunting mulies. This was my 3rd year up there, hunting 6k-10k feet. I tried eberlestock, badlands, my issued ruck and kelty the first couple years. This year I went up with a Kifaru Fulcrum, huge improvement over the others when it came to comfort and load...

    Android and Elite 5700 bluetooth issues

    I'm having issues as well. Worked last year with my Motorola phone, now it won't work with either the Motorola or my new Google Pixel 2. It will connect once, but then drop off and not reconnect. Nothing else is using Bluetooth, pushed the updates, changed the battery, nothing works. The app...

    Suppressors 338 ultra worth the money over ultra 9 for 28 nosler?

    Had the same question for a 300 RUM in an ultra 9 vs 338 ultra. You'll need the extra volume to shut down all that extra powder in an over bore mag. Forgot to mention, that recommendation came from TBAC after discussing my concerns and desires for a new can. You said it's for an elr rig, so...

    That's a great point, had that problem when data wouldn't transfer to a new phone.

    Suppressors TBAC Ultra 338

    Any time. Just add a little water to that larger can, no comparison.

    Suppressors TBAC Ultra 338

    Don't have a rugged or saker, but my friends do for their 308's. Even with the larger 338 bore on a 308, the 338 ultra is quieter. That's likely due to the much larger volume.

    Suppressors TBAC Ultra 338

    You're going to love it. I picked one up for a 300 RUM, but have been using it on 300 win mag, 338 LM, 6.5 Creed, and 308...impressive suppression on all, love the light weight and accuracy.

    Night Vision 3500 to spend on thermal

    I didn't call anyone an asshole. It sounds like you want some sort of clip on, weather a single unit or in front of a day optic, all under 3.5K. Pull your panties out of your ego, I gave you what you asked for, an open opinion. Don't like, fuck off.

    Hunting & Fishing Need help with 308 bullet choice for Elk

    I've tried AMAX's on larger deer and hogs, 280-350 lbs, and rarely did the bullets perform well on that sized game. They tend to break apart too fast for deep penetration. I had kills, but remember several 300 yd+ shots with desperate blood trails due to no exit wound if the animal didn't...

    Night Vision 3500 to spend on thermal

    Wrong model, Scout. Title didn't say weapon mounted clip-on and I didn't care to read through another long explanation of someone who can't make a decision or do their own research. For a clip on under 3.5K, quality sucks at distance--especially Pulsar. Save up, buy used or have a thermal...
