    Hunting & Fishing First Western Elk Hunt…Essential Gear/Clothing Advice Needed

    Ha! A little band-aid undertone to your water just lets you know it's treated! OP, the cook set is kind of an individual thing, unfortunately. Cookware seconds as dishware. Unless you want to eat out of the same pot, or cook/eat at different times, I'd just get two. Your tent is community...

    Hunting & Fishing First Western Elk Hunt…Essential Gear/Clothing Advice Needed

    Don't buy gear marketed towards hunters. Brands catering to backpacking and mountaineering perform better, are lighter, higher quality and most of the time, more affordable. Kuiu and Sitka have great marketing teams, but there are far better options for the true mountain/backpack hunter. Stone...

    Rifle Scopes GPO Centuri Super Compact FFP

    Has anyone had the chances to put a GPO Centuri Super Compact through the paces? I'm considering a 4-16x44i FFP for an ultralight rifle I put together for hunting here in the Rockies. The features look great. And the weight is the best I've seen for an FFP in a usable mag range for western...

    Optics WTT: Cronus BTR 4.5-29x56

    Looking to trade my Gen1 Cronus BTR with APRS mil reticle for a Tract Toric 4-25x50 mil elr. Its a great scope in excellent condition. I have a Toric on another rifle and seem to prefer the reticle a bit more. Let me know if you have one you're looking to trade out of.

    .243 8 twist load ideas please?

    Yeah, it's an 8 twist. I used a similar load in a factory 9.125 in the past, as well. Your 7.5 won't change anything.

    .243 8 twist load ideas please?

    Don't sleep on slower powders, like H1000. I'm getting 2950fps out of a 24" barrel, with what is essentially the starting load, shooting a 105gr. Has great case fill, as you can't get enough in the case to reach pressure issues (IME). It's easier on barrel life as well. I started at 46.0gr and...
