    Shorty hunting builds

    Just ordered a nitride defiant hunter SA. Thinking I may drop the barrel contour to a #3 and going with the McMillan hunter stock to save a little weight. Hoping the whole package comes in around 8#.

    Shorty hunting builds

    Wanting to put an 18” 6.5 creedmoor hunter together and looking for ideas. It needs to be lightish, but ultralight isn’t necessary. Thinking McMillan hunter stock, Defiance hunter SA, and something in the neighborhood of a bartlien 3B fluted barrel. If you have something similar, I’d like to...

    Hunting & Fishing Ultralite backpack hunting tents

    I’ve been using the MSR Hubba Hubba for 3 yrs now. Not sure it’s what I would call “ultralight,” but it’s pretty dang light at 3lb7oz. And it will keep the mosquitos out as last year’s late June/early July San Juan Wilderness trip can attest. Found mine on sale for around 200 I believe.

    Hunting & Fishing Need last minute backpacking/flyfishing suggestions ASAP!

    I do a back-country fly fishing/back packing trip every year for the last 5 yrs. The last several years, we’ve done the San Juan Wilderness in southern, CO.

    Hunting & Fishing Hunting with tripod Q’s

    I’ve been walking around east TX and southwest LA with the Reapr vise and a CF tripod strapped to my backpack. Not the most expensive or fanciest rig, but works very well. Works great for longer shots when you have a second to setup.

    Anyone hunting with Mcmillan A5?

    I hunt p-dogs with the A-5. Love the feel, but it's holding an m24 profile barrel and NF NXS and I would want to lug it around very far. Wouldn't mind one with Edge fill for a hunting rig by any means.

    Night Vision Who's running the REAP-IR?

    I've used the MKII 20mm, IR Patrol m300w, and a buddies Reap-IR. i just got my own Reap at the end of January. I've also used ATN Thor, Armasight Predator, and Pulsar xd50. It's real hard to beat IR Defense products in my opinion. Was going to upgrade my MKII to the 35mm version but have...
