I have the same tripod, head, and pack. I also like them all very well.

Pretty much what everyone else said, I love my Eberlestocks. I have an X1A1, mini-me, Lo Drag, gunrunner, and J34. My personal favorite is the J34. It's more expensive than the X1 but if you...

I've got one and it's ok for sizing up something that's already been spotted. For long glassing though its not like having a good tripod. The heads can't be locked from swiveling side to side, just...

straight or angled ED50?

I have the paratarp and parastove plus the annex. I have been very happy with all of them.

I'm in a similar position and am a huge fan of my Nikon ED50. I bet once you get a spotter you will find you use it way more hunting and scouting around home than you thought you would also. The...

Just another option you might consider. If you are wanting to be able to field judge antelope maybe you should think about getting a spotter now and binos later. You could find a used Nikon ED50 in...

Not sure, Kansas got hammered also this year from everyone I talked to.

Those of you who prefer the X2 for day hunts, do you use the optional side scabbard or just carry your rifle on a sling? To me the best part of an Eberlestock is the scabbard most times.

I got an ED50 this year and my hunting partner got a 85mm Razor HD. We got them to compliment each other, and they do it pretty well. I've been shocked at how well my ED50 keeps up with his Razor...

My favorite round for calling and not wrecking a bobcat if I see one is the 204 with the 45gr Hornady. It will exit a yote from most any angle, but won't blow up like a V-max or ballistic tip so the...

I got the Promaster 6160 head and 525T tripod from S&S Archery and really like it. They have a sale on now to. Total weight is a 3lbs 1oz and it goes high enough for standing with an angled scope...

Also a Nosler moderator on their forum said they are designed to work with standard factory twists. Here is what I read there.

I will be trying the 129gr 6.5 as soon as it's available, as well as the 150gr 270. They are supposed to be on shelves in March.

Those who are breaking the blades on the Piranta model should check out the Barracuta. I have both and prefer the much thicker and stronger 4" blades on the Barracuta for everything but caping.

My 264 win mag fits the bill for me for flatlands. Between the original 300 win barrel and the replacement 264 it has taken 5 whitetail that average 162" , my best muley and antelope, and a bunch of...

Just curious if anyone was taking small game while in the backcountry on hunting or scouting trips, and how you prepare it. I usually pack a Snow Peak, or similar cup of around 25oz that I can boil...

I just buy a little SOL 50ft roll of 1" duct tape for my pack and take it.

+1 more for the ED50

Me to, they are great when the sun gets low.

I love my Nikon ED50, got it for a good price from Natchez Shooters Supply a while back.

I just bought a Piranta at Cabelas yesterday. I was amazed at how much thinner the blades are that come with it than they are on the Baracutta I have. For those who like the Havalon concept but...

I've seen similar results from a neighbor's 25-06 and 257wby. He switched to the 110 accubond and loves it. I'm also a fan of the Sierra you are using especially from the 257. If you want to try...

Heck of a buck, congrats.

Depends on the situation. A lighter gun is definitely nicer to carry but harder to shoot well especially when you are winded. Also range of shots should be considered, the 300 will shoot flatter...
