On a backpack sheep hunt(I have done 2) weight is important. Anything more than 8 or 9 pounds is getting out of hand. How far do you plan on shooting? Actual practice with the same gun is critical. I found a pack that could carry my gun either between my shoulder blades or strapped to the side...

Strongly second bjj for practcal self defense. Real skills are actually learned and practiced on a resisting opponent. Ninja skills like eye gouges, can't actually be practiced.

A blue belt, doing bjj for 16 months. I have met some great people that were very helpful while choking you out. Being humble, tap out early and often, and just keep coming back are key. The professor is super important in establishing the right atmosphere. My professor is more old school...

I am thinking about a 7mm Remington magnum, probably the Terminus, a 6 lbs 8 oz. rifle, for elk hunting in the mountains. Looking for ability to shoot out to 600 yards from field positions. I have shot heavier rifles out to 800 yardswith reasonable results. Premium price obviously, is it a...

I ordered a Daniel Defense m4v1 from Ranier arms a month ago. They don't have it and won't for a while. But they emailed today a m4v1 lw is in stock. Both have 16 inch barrel. Rifle would be used for hunting and shooting at the range. Any significant differences in balance, accuracy, etc. ? I...

I have the zeiss 600 and 800 rapid z, like it, like the glass. I have some swarovski scopes with the regular reticle and, to my eyes the glass is better and so are the adjustments. I have a "new to me" 7.5 lb. Borden .280 that I plan on using to shoot paper out to 600 yards and to take on...

Re: Jacket's and Bibs? I bought fron Cabela's the Berber fleece jacket and bibs. Sat at 15 degrees in ks this week, very nice and super quiet. Were on sale, at least 3 weeks ago as well. Seekrer120

Re: Going to S. Africa, gun choice! In Africa, long range shooting, is considered over 200 yards by most PH's and is strongly discouraged. Most people aren't that good a shot and the "you bleed it, you bought it policy" enforced by the PH works with that idea. The 375 h&h is rightly...

Re: Best way to mount a scope w/o canting? Thanks guys. I appreciate the help. I will follow up on the sugggestions. Seeker120

What tools do you find helpful in centering the reticle? I will be using Talley steel rings to mount a Zeiss scope on remington 700(7mm Remington Magnum) Is it worth putting an anticant device on the scope after it is mounted correctly to make sure the gun is not canted while shooting? Will be...
