140 gr Nosler Accubond, used in 270 WSM

use the 270, reload, and use 140gr accubond/ballistic tip - decent bullet, you can use it to get started, cheap, and serves as a hunting rifle at the very same time

well. another point is that android covers 81% of the smartphone userbase. 12% is iphone. and then some others ... so out of 10 persons, if you focus on android, you'll please 8, rather than a single one from apple. thus, you can get a factor of 8 more profit from focusing on android than...

red tac gear - order from triad - is my choice

leica 1600b

i've the ddoptics 8x50. they cost about 600 ... for me, way better than the 8x56 zeiss dialyt that i'd have access to. and outperforms some of the zeiss/swaro group that i've seen

honestly: old poncho. every month we find an additional application for it.

cyclone buff - i'm using it alot for the ski patrols with a motor sledge. really good for throat and lower face area. good experience with it down to -20 degC ( -4 F). head itself is separately protected by hat/helmet or such

as you describe, the pack is nice. from my personal experience with hunting trips in the alps, up to about 3000m = 10k feet, the pack is just a bit too small in volume. i think eberlestock is calculating the volume of the pack including the volume of the rifle sleeve. this notable changes the...

3006 - and then train to put the bullet into 'life' (=heart+lungs) under all hunting-conditions

i've ddoptics 8.5x50 @ around 700 euro. we have zeiss and swaro in house (8x40 swaro and 8x56 zeiss) and I can't see a difference. While swaro for sure has a good service history, for the difference in price (factor of 3) I can buy a new pair of binos every 10 years and still be better of. some...

triad is the way to go

lowa or hanwag. both are coming from the a set of brothers (lorenz wagner - lowa, and hans+adolf wagner - hanwag). personally I prefer hanwag over lowa.
