.300 RUM with a muzzle break. It has the recoil of a 270/.30-06.

From what I have read and seen it is a scope I would not consider. It seems somewhat limiting and that is not what I want in a scope.

1.Current Weight = 180
2.Goal Weight = ? (will see at the end of the summer) (IMO this shouldn't be a focus. The more you work on your routine and get in it you will find your ideal body weight. If...

I have a straight Nikon and love it. It seems a little easier to use out of a vehicle which is a plus.

I have always been pleased with my Petzl Tikka XP. It uses 3 AAA batteries and if you go lithium it is even lighter. It has High, Low, and Strobe. It also has filter slides that cover the light to...

still waiting for the snow to thaw...should be about another week and the ground will be clear.

That is a nice cat!

I usually take a month off around Christmas but pick it back up after the new year. I weight train 2-3x a week and spin 60 miles a week. When the weather is nice I will be preparing for some rides...

That is good to know on those blades. They look good but if they break easy I would rather deal with sharpening than replacing blades.

well said!

Taking a break from walking in 13" of snow looking for pheasants

I agree to the slippery slope. It would be nice to see but as Jerry mentioned it only takes a few to ruin it. Maybe a completely different forum or venue...

I have the Garmin etrex vista (color screen) and it has never let me down after several years of use.

You can't go wrong with Lowa period. They make an outstanding boot and although I have not used the Ranger I have the Tibet and Sheep Hunter. Both are exceptional boots and keep your foot secure in...

I use the slick trick 100gr. so far no complaints.

These were in my mother-in-law's front yard.

I agree! Just because you can hit something at 1000 yards doesn't mean you should shoot an animal at 1000 yards. The energy lost and the variables to consider make it a very risky shot. For me the...

I have a MSR water filter and it works great. It is durable but a little bulky, which I don't mind as it works for me for now.

Gotta stick with Mathews until they give me a reason to jump to Hoyt

I will say this about the Z-series from Zeiss. They work well with the calculator with the proper information input. However, in my experience I had the conquest 4.5 rapid z 800 on my .300RUM, and...

I second that!

Take a look at the mystery ranch line. I have a 3day Assault for a day or two pack and it is very well built. The straps are well padded and they have a great line-up of packs to choose from. I don't...

Thanks for the feedback! I hunt with bow and gun. I will start to buy points this year...if I still can. I won't be a resident in time for resident priced tags this year so I will hunt WY, then start...

I take MREs with me when I go sans some of the side items. I just get a box of 10 before hunting season and they seem to do the trick depending on how much time I spend in the back country. They are...

x2...WM makes a great lightweight warm bag. They are a little pricey but when it is 10 degrees out and you are not cold you won't think anything of it.
